We stayed after arriving in Colombo and then liked it so much we returned after our tour of Sri Lanka.

Staff are so friendly, rooms and hotel are very clean. The hotel is 10 years old but looks new as it is so well maintained. You feel that the staff take a genuine pride in the hotel. Breakfast and evening meal were great. Location is good, also a little away from the main road which means no horns from buses and tuk tuks which is welcomed after a while in Colombo.

Seelan looked after us one evening and is a great host. Top man.

Lake Lodge is a perfect hotel to stay for one or two nights. The staff is very friendly and the food is not super cheap for Sri Lanka but is was definitely worth it. The area is nice for a day but probable a bit boring if you stay there longer.

Rooms - interior good.
Staff - good and supportive.
Food- taste, flavour and presentation good.

Downs are as follows.
Rooms smell for mosquito coil burning which is suffocating. Rooms missing tea and coffee with no water kettle.
Kitchen closes at 9pm. No food or snacks available post that, as basic as chips or peanuts with drink.
Tooth brush and paste are chargeable.
No fridge in the room.
It's ok to stay for transit but costly for the facilities which are average.
