      Total useless service, please avoid. Hotel is good but staff has ruined it., No sense to run a hotel”

      Location is good, near Seeta eliya temple.. When we reach hotel they directed us to a other building which has no lift neither it is connected with telephone. No staff present in this building for each and every small need you have to come to other building. I don't understand why they have kept telephone as show piece. The front office manager Mr. Shankar is most irresponsible. On complaining his answer is what can I do and I have informed to the supervisor. This is not the way to run a hotel. Over all very bad experience.... Could be a good place if staff does its duty properly.

      We accidently ended up here as our original booking was cancelled by the host. The staff was wonderful and treated us with great hospitality even though we crashed in with such short notice.. They were so kind in arranging us a room with lift access and altering the room setup so all of us can fit in. Great environment, view and away from the busy city centre (5km from the town). Would definitely book again for another visit !!!!

      It was bad... My Christmas was wasted.”

      The bed was comfy.

      The stay was utterly messed up. Please do not get fooled by the pictures cause it's nothing like what's shown. The hotel staff (a girl) at the counter wanted one person to stay in while the other person goes to the bank and cashes out to pay the in house dining bill as they don't accept Amex. It's very far from the city. The taxi is really exp to get tot he city. I will not recommend this place. The food is lowest to the low standards.

      very poor hotel and waste of money”

      after arguments with the owner he accpeted to provide hair dryer for free.

      I booked 2 family rooms as the website did not allow for more than one child in one room. But actually the rooms were quite big wit 2 queen size beds to accommodate us. But we have paid for the 2 rooms already. The hotel is very expensive although it has nothing. No swimming pool, no regular thing in room like hair dryer, shampoo or shower gel. Just few small packets of supermarket shampoo. No buffet for breakfast but one egg, small jam and some fruits with a cup of tea or coffee. no cheese and no other options. We all left hungry even my kids. It was a very bad experience.

      Останавливались на 1 ночь перед поездкой на плато хортон, близко, удобно, номер брали самый простой за 40 дол. Но если сравнить с отелем в канди за эти же деньги, то небо и земля. Все максимально просто, чисто приехать переспать одну ночь, ночью было холодно, телевизор не работал, кормили невкусно, гор воды хватило на 15 минут.
