Location location location! Beautiful hotel overlooking the lake and temple of the tooth. Our room was amazing. 2 let downs , not enough room to play around the pool table and the food. Food was ok but nothing to write home about or memorable, service was slow. Just be aware that Kandy is a major traffic nightmare, with hospital virtually next door sirens and traffic noise goes on for 18 hours a day. Still an excellent choice for Kandy.

We really enjoyed our stay here and the room overlooking the lake was super with its own terrace. The elephant towel decoration on the bed was a lovely creative touch. Room including bathroom was spacious - lots of ants in the toilet area climbing the walls. The service was good but first time in Sri Lanka we felt slightly uneasy as didn’t feel it was wholly genuine- there also seemed to be more staff hanging around than visitors and a bit distasteful that they continually waited for tips even when we insisted moving our own luggage less than 2 metres. Lots of staff seemed to be chilling and on their phones when lots of the hotel could have been cleaned eg floors/ window ledges which were dusty / stained/ crumbs etc. Waiter at b/f was charming but even his clothes looked as though they could have done with a good wash.

The place is elegant. Very peaceful background and calm environment. The staff also very nice and friendly. But the thing is, the high temperature 💔. Inside was so hot sometimes. The food is very delicious and worthy. We had a very nice time and so many of fancy things to enjoy. Thank You!

We had 2 nights here but wished we could have stayed longer. Our room was beautiful and very well equipped with a fantastic balcony overlooking the lake (room 303). The food was fantastic and lots of it. We ate one night in the hotel and found the food delicious and reasonably priced. All the staff were lovely and we were especially impressed with the chef who went out of his way to provide me with several gluten free options in addition to the large amount of food that was already gluten free. Highly recommended.

Delightful boutique hotel within walking distance of Kandy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, well designed and comfortable and the food was good quality. Lots of attention to detail. Would highly recommend for a stay in Kandy.
