Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a lovely location near the religious sites and the picturesque tank 'thisa wewa,' allowing for a beautiful morning walk. The room service was top-notch, though my family's room wasn't serviced promptly. The kind and friendly staff were a delight with their assistance, although they seemed a bit confused by the technology. Dining was a delightful blend of Sri Lankan, European, and Chinese cuisines, especially the perfectly prepared omelettes. The access road might need some upgrades, but the pool area was a relaxing retreat.
The hotel is a bit odd as the room I booked didn't come with carpets, but it's still comfortable. The service was excellent, accommodating our every need and even making exceptions during meal times. The location is warm, humid, and infested with flies and insects, but it's not far from the ruined city by the lake. The dining experience was good overall, especially since omelettes and eggs were prepared to perfection. The facility had a few issues, but the staff was doing their best to make things right.
The hotel offers beautiful, big rooms with lake views, but they would benefit from some updates, especially the restrooms. The interior decorations are in need of upgrading, though the balcony overlooking the tank is simply stunning. Service can be improved, as there were instances of unprofessionalism and rudeness. However, they did a great job arranging our check-in and even had a bellboy escort us to our rooms. The location on the south shore of the Thissa lake is perfect for a morning walk and provides a lovely atmosphere. The dining options, though with a good variety, were a bit basic. The facilities are decent, catering to essential needs. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel has potential with a bit of polishing.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms, but lacks carpets and faces a sad garden edged with barbed wire. Despite the presence of bed bugs, the rooms provide a peaceful sanctuary after a day of sightseeing. The service is top-notch with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The location, while providing a nice view across the lake and proximity to attractions, suffers from a bumpy dirt track and insect presence. The dining experience offers delicious and local offerings. Overall, the hotel presents a mix of positive and negative aspects.
