Disappointing Stay – Not as Advertised This hotel looked great in the Expedia photos, but upon arrival, it was a completely different story—false advertising at its finest. The property looked nothing like the pictures, and mosquitoes were a major issue throughout our stay. Right away, we encountered problems with the hot water in our room. After multiple calls to the front desk and waiting for maintenance, it took hours to fix, and even then, we only had lukewarm water. The entrance was dirty, the towels were old, and there were no amenities provided. The bed was okay, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. Definitely not worth the stay.

Quiet and pretty location
From the outside this looks like a modern hotel with good facilities including a pool. The staff are friendly but at a loss to how to realte to their clientele. The breakfast is barely adequate and even the Sri Lankan breakfast is poor. The bedroom is ok though our bathroom constantly smelt bad.

Good stay, Nice foods
I was bit reluctant at the time of booking as this hotel has a poor review score. Also it doesn't have a nice look from the front. But After entering, I realized that they have a really nice and friendly staff (specially the reception). Dinner and breakfast buffet were great with real Sri Lankan taste. Don't expect a huge buffet, but all curries were very tasty. It's worth the money you pay and they really deserve a better review score. One thing to improve is, the bed was very firm. Otherwise everything else was good

Das Hotel liegt etwas abseits ( Tuk Tuk nötig ).
Das Hotel liegt etwas abseits. Die Strasse wird gerade ausgebaut. Beim Frühstück am ersten Tag den Magen verdorben, da die Speisen nicht richtig zubereitet ( erhitzt ) wurden.

快適とは言いがたい…
部屋の掃除は甘く、薄暗い部屋の中に蚊がたくさん（虫除け電気から置いてあり、それをつけたら落ち着きましたが）。とてもこの値段のレベルのホテルではありませんでした。

Hugely disappointing
Very over priced, for what we paid would expect a room safe, a frige, a basin plug, a hand towel, a bedside table, tea/coffee and shampoo/shower gel replaced. Waste bin had no liner so contents fell onto the floor. No bolt or chain on the inside of the door. Surprised to find this hotel only two years old, bathroom wall crumbling from water leakage. No window so very dark, smells of camphor. Lots of mosquitoes. No grass left in the grounds. Breakfast basic, only a set meal in the evening so didn't eat there.
