The view from our room was spectacular of the waterfall. Sat out on balcony each morning and evening enjoying the view. The Hillcrest is walking distance to town but is on a very steep hill They have Tuk Tuk available for rides into town. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was provided.

The view from the room balcony was beautiful. The breakfast was very mediocre, not warm and very appetising. No variety at all. The road really worried us. Staff were ok, but really not a quality hotel.

Nice hotel with great view to the waterfall and little Adam’s peak. The rooms are spacious, clean and nice. The balcony was big. If they did a little more effort with decorating the balcony and had some nicer furniture out there, it would be even greater. But great value for the money.
