Cute hotel

Hotel was comfortable, safe, and they had onsite driver accommodations (apparently a thing in Sri Lanka). We didn't get to stay here long enough, and there was a festival that made the streets incredibly crowded. I wish we had the chance to explore the area more, however we made our way down (per the hotel's recommendation) to dinner at Hideout Lounge, and then back to the hotel. The pool is small and we weren't enticed to use it. Breakfast in the morning is offered as a buffet with plenty of options. I would recommend staying here if you need amenities (such as a shampoo, showergel, and a concierge). Unfortunately, due to the festival and the crowded streets, we couldn't even tell how close we really were to the sacred tooth, or other dining/shopping options. I'm sure under normal circumstances it would have been easier to get a tuktuk or even a car to drive you down into the town.

Great value

The room is really clean and comfortable, with good AC and a great shower. But it's a little far outside of the center, which makes going out late at night a bigger hassle.

A pleasant stay

I only stayed here for one night, but I enjoyed my stay. I was given a room on the top floor (I don't know if I was given a free upgrade or not, but it was a nice room) and so it had decent views of the valley area there from the balcony. The room had A/C, tv with cable, a ceiling fan and a hair dryer, shampoo & conditioner...so it had all the room amenities you'd need. The room didn't include breakfast as many places here usually do, but that's ok. The shower was leaky in that it let water out all over the floor despite the shower door being closed, so there was a big puddle I walked out to. I ended up throwing all the towels on the floor to soak it up. The hotel is on a steep winding incline atop its own mini hill. It's not especially close to town center, though it is walkable in 20-30 minutes. It's a bit closer to the Sacred Tooth Temple. The front desk and management were very friendly and helpful. The one weird thing about being on the top floor (and it's a walk up...no elevator) is that the floor was basically two guest rooms and these offices built out into its sort of lobby (photos attached). It's just odd to know you're walking out of your room into an office environment. But it was a good place to stay.

This is my second visit to the facility. Food choices were basic, would not plan on eating there due to limited menu. Food itself tasted basic, nothing to write home about. Room and bathroom was clean, the A/C unit leaked water to the floor on my 2nd day. Location is good. This should be a 3 star facility, not 4.

just about adequate

overall, it was a decent stay. I was disappointed with how crammed the room was. just not enough space to feel comfortable. you would easily run into a piece of furniture if you weren't very careful. the view is nice but unremarkable. the best thing about the room was the bathroom. new fittings, clean, well appointed. oh, there is no elevator, by the way. the service was decent and the people were nice.

Hotel yo

The manager was very friendly and enjoyed a long conversation with him. Only down side was that when i booked the hotel on expedia.com it said complimentary breakfast was included but disappointingly was told by hotel it isn't and that they got it wrong?! Also because i didn't have a printout of my booking and and had an email to show they couldn't do anything :(

キャンディレイクに近い眺めのよいホテル　Good view near the Kandy lake

キャンディ湖の近くで、少し上り坂を登り行くと、かわいい数部屋のサイズのホテルがあります。部屋は清潔感があり、部屋からはキャンディの周りの山々や、テニスコート、湖も少し見えます。 朝食の種類は少しビュッフェというには少なかったですが、全般的に親切なスタッフのみなさんによくしていただきました。朝は通勤時間や投稿時間もあり、少し道路が賑やかですが、仏歯寺の裏側などをお散歩するとよいかもしれません。また近くには女子学校があり、白い制服をきたかわいい子どもたちを見ることができますよ。 It was good view hotel and all staffs were very kind for us. The room was clean. We enjoyed comfortable 2days at this Hotel. Near the hotel, girls' school is there, and can see cute Sri Lankan white uniform students!

Nuovo ma rumoroso

Nuovo, stanze carine, ma con grossi problemi di rumorosità impiantistiche, di notte non si dorme. Gran parte delle stanze sono esposte verso la strada, anch'essa fonte di disturbo notturno. Il ristorante è totalmente disorganizzato e lento.
