This is a superior quality hotel built into a hillside. All rooms have balconies that overlook the central lake and across the waters towards the town. They are large, light and airy, with fridge and aircon. Ours had two large single beds and good quality furnishings. The bathroom was also large and was one of the few we came across... More

Perched atop a hill in central Kandy we were hopeful this imposing looking hotel would provide a pleasant stay. We were in our first room 2 minutes before we noticed the trails of ants and termites across the walls ... new room please!!! Our second room was better - a massive room, huge swathes of vacant space. We were feeling... More

Stayed just one night when visiting Kandy. Spacious, clean, reasonable, functional room with balcony and a superb view. Evening meal and breakfast were both buffets with lots of choice and good food. There was also some live music playing in the evening which was fun (though not necissarily to our taste). Overall we enjoyed our stay and at approx. £60... More

Nice, modern, well decorated hotel set in the hill overlooking the lake on the north east side. Just a -10 min walk away from Temple of Tooth etc. Great view, some of the better food we have had and the monkeys around the hotel were good fun (although they did steal a T-shirt I left on the balcony!) Staff were... More

We stayed for 2 nights and the hotel is ok, but the rooms really let it down. They were as clean as they could be given the age of the decor and bathrooms but this is a hotel to use as a base and not to spend time in which was ok for us as this was the plan. Probably... More

Front desk staff friendly. We were given a garden room which was great for access to the gorgeous pool and the main facilities. These rooms are being upgraded and think we had a partially complete one. Same style as a hotel we stayed at in Uluru and extended by a lovely covered little courtyard. Construction quiet and kept to reasonable... More

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in March 2012. I thought that this was an excellent hotel that has a great pool and terrific location in central Kandy. The rooms were nice and large, with a decent bathroom with good water pressure and good hot water. The view from this hotel is also immaculate. Service was good throughout... More
