    amazing view
    helpful staff
    cute atmosphere
    navigational difficulty
    accessibility issue

    The amazing views from my room's balcony were lovely, and the staff were helpful, assisting me with my luggage and offering local dining recommendations. I felt welcomed and appreciated at the hotel.

    Access could improve for seniors navigating stairs.

    The accommodation is very nice, pool not big but clean. Located a bit off the beaten track on hills, but with TukTuk fast and cheap to the center. Rooms with great view to Kandy. Breakfast and dinner as buffet very versatile and delicious.

    Located a bit off the beaten track, but it is relatively quiet, only very little street noise.

    fine view
    limited options

    Fine views from the balcony made our stay nice.

    The breakfast had limited options that became monotonous.

    Room spacious, a little outdated, but generally in order. Buffet in the morning and evening tasty and good. Large bathroom with good shower

    Personnel except one at check in friendly. Very stinky and therefore not usable blanket

    Lizards in the room and corridors, monkeys tapping at your window in the night, the hotel staff does not speak any English and over charged us on a different price than Booked.net. The rooms we stayed in were different than what was shown on Booked.net. They were ugly and they smelled of fish. There were too many mosquitos and bees while we had breakfast. There was only one old style elevator in the hotel which was covered with cockroaches and ants. And when complained to the hotel staff, they kept saying it was hotel policy!

    amazing views
    chaotic pool area

    A hidden gem in Kandy

    We were captivated by the amazing views and the really good service, especially from the attentive staff who made our stay good.

    The pool area could benefit from better management as the towel situation became a bit chaotic during busy hours.

    The hotel with view on the lake is very nice, we had the room on the 5th floor. The pool was clean and invites to swim. For the candleligth dinner we got a lantern on the table. The buffet was delicious.

    The breakfast for 15 Euro could be more versatile for us Europeans.

    We stayed in Room No.106 Sorry I am going to use this cage to highlight all short comings, since there is no cage for complaints No channel music. Console is broken. Bath/Toiltes are not Tiled. Stains on the floor. TV indoor antenna is broken. Very poor screen quality. Only one small toaster available for bread toasting for breakfast. Only two slices at a time .You need to wait in the queue. Car parking not organised properly, slots not sufficient. I do not think I can say that I like Thilanaka

    This place suits me perfectly! With free Wi-Fi, valet parking, and a 24-hour reception, I find everything I need. The staff was fantastic, helping me with car service on my first stay. I highly recommend it!

    The hotel staff were less than friendly. The rooms were adequately cleaned but the furniture was old and need replacing. We were unfortunate to have ants in our room and they refused to change rooms but merely sprayed the room. The monkeys were an issue and every morning we had monkeys sitting on our balcony and the monkeys even went into the dining area to steal from the buffet, which is very unhygienic! At dinner one night the hotel entertainment (four guys singing) tried to harass us to buy their cd, which completely spoilt the athmosphere!

    amazing view
    spacious room

    would stay here again and again

    The views of the lake from my balcony were amazing. The room was spacious, with a tv, minibar, and a private bathroom stocked with free toiletries. Breakfast included a buffet with delicious Sri Lankan dishes and fresh fruits. The infinity pool was amazing, with attentive staff providing towels and sun umbrellas.
