Overall the hotel itself is excellent, the staff, the facilities and the food.....an excellent hotel. The only negative does not relate to the hotel itself maybe more about the city of Kandy, its very nosey and busy, we were hounded by local traders and drivers all day which compared to other parts of the country we would not have the same experienceits

The hotel is an easy ride into town. Staff were very pleasant. We were upgraded to a family suite, which made our stay very enjoyable - great room. It has an amazing infinity pool overlooking the mountains. The pictures of the hotel make it look like there are no other developments around it, which is not the case. Unfortunately the food and drinks service was very chaotic. It often came late and cold. The wine and beer were served at room temperature. But they were happy to put on ice if you waited a while.

Great staff, tired and dated room.

Needs some TLC. Room was dated and bathroom needed attention due to mould. Pigeon nest in void over balcony annoying. One small net would deal with it.

Overall the stuff we’re friendly except at the date of checkout one lady called me from the reception around 11:30 am and she asked me what time are you checking out sir? I told her 1230 and she told me rudely that after 1230 the system will start charging you per hour it was sound like a threat which I didn’t like

Amazing hotel

Amazing experience and exceptional staff who tended to my every need. Particularly Sivaraj who worked at the front/lobby who helped me organise my forwarding journey. Also experience the bliss package message in which Nina gave an amazing service to relax and recharge my body. Will definitely recommend and will visit again Thank you once again

The Best !

Amazing experience - all round wonderful hotel with exceptional service. Dananjaya and the pastry chef organized wonderful birthday cakes for my wife. We’ve stayed in a good few hotels around the world but never seen such dedication and kindness. We had an enormous room which was so comfortable. Credit to Sumit and probart for excellence in room service.
