Great hotel, amazing views of Kandy. Great swimming pool, nice breakfast and buffet (although I did have better at other places in Sri Lanka). I had a great time and I would definitely stay here again. Definitely recommend it!

Nice place, good service. Not many sun loungers at the pool. Sad to hear that the leftovers from the buffet are thrown out and not given to the ones in need. Try to reduce food waste, and at the same time do something good for the ones without much.
