Keep your sense of humour and you'll get through the half to one hour check in process and you'll start to enjoy this quirky, totally inefficient hotel in the perfect location opposite the Temple of the Tooth. It's unapologetically rundown - but if you love heritage hotels you'll love this place. It has a nice restaurant with really lovely staff. It's the reception staff that desperately need training in how to deal with customers. We had zero explanation of why we were kept waiting for over half an hour. Very poor communication and generally inept. But again, get through the check in process and you'll be in heritage bliss - well, maybe not 'bliss' but you'll probably love the place anyway.

The hotel is desperately in need of a complete overhaul - my room was riddled with damp and mould with ineffective air conditioning. The staff are lovely and are the hotel's only saving grace.

Historic Hotel in Kandy
If you like historic hotels this is for you. In a perfect location by the lake and opposite the Temple of the Tooth. The interior takes you right back to the 19th Century with its wooden floors and antique bar. The dinning room is old fashioned with a good mix of western and Sri Lankan food. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Everything about this hotel is the opposite of a modern bland corporate hotel. Staying here is an experience.
