      Never try this hotel”

      I stayed one night with my wife. In December Nuwaraeliya is cold, but there is no hot water. It seems it was a temporary problem. Last night I told the front dest I would check out at 7:00am, but no one was there on time. And I wanted to pay by my credit card, but they said ‘machine is not working’. I gave cash, but they said to me ‘there is no change’’ they rushed here and there to get change money. so Finally I transferred the amount by banking app. I forgot saying one more thing. Their computer system was wrong, so they asked me how much they had to receive from me. what a joke!

      Ordinary”

      We stayed at this hotel for one night. If you are mobility challenged, this hotel is not for you. On arrival, there was a flight of steps up to the lobby, and then we were on the third floor. To get to the third floor we had to go up a very steep (about 45 degrees), long ramp, and then two flights of stairs. There is no a/c and our rooms on the third floor were in the roof space, so warm. They provided a very noisy pedestal fan. Bathroom was fine. During the night, we were disturbed by loud knocking and then it sounded as though furniture was being moved around for quite some time. When I asked the next morning what the noise was about they just shrugged their shoulders. Breakfast was good, overlooking the lake. I don't think I'd stay here again.

      A place must be visited again.”

      This is a place which could be highly recommended to someone. Value for money is worth. We stayed in the attic room in the third floor and it was an awesome room with all the facilities which allows us to see the beauty of lake Gregory. Food was very tasty with some varieties. Staff is great.

      The location couldn't be better for the lake, our room was clean and comfortable. The thing that really mad our stay were the staff, who were incredibly outgoing, polite and helpful.

      Good lake view room”

      The room I got had a lake view that was pretty much blocked by a tree, but they changed my room on request the next day. The shower area was a bit too small. The gave us a plug-in heater on request; it was ok - barely sufficient. Staff was friendly. Breakfast service could have been a little better. The dhaal and paratha were cold the first morning (they brought us warm ones on request).

      We have to climb up to the 3 rd floor. No advisable for elderly people. Food was terriable when we order dinner. Breakfast was ok only. In the morning there was no water for 1/2 an hout.
