Overall the stay was pretty good and the staff were good and helpful. The only concern is it would be great to have a separate glass cover in the shower area. Otherwise when taking a shower water splash all over the washroom.

A hidden gem !

The hotel exceeded our expectations particularly in terms of cuisine. The breakfast, the al a carte menu and the dinner buffets were excellent. The staff were friendly and very attentive and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The views from the rooms & the restaurant were majestic. The roof top bar was a plus but the rainy weather interrupted our use of the facility. All in all a perfect two day stay and I highly recommend this boutique hotel for visitors to Kandy.

Amazing stay, amazing staff!

Myself & my boyfriend stayed here for 1 night last week & we had an amazing stay! The hotel really is luxury at such a great price! It’s only been open for 1 year which means it’s extra clean. The room was spotless & very spacious. The bed was very comfy, with a large flat screen TV that has many channels including sports, facing it. The staff were fantastic, they went above and beyond, they were so helpful & polite. The bathroom was clean & the balcony was great with aesthetic furniture. We wanted to extend our stay but they were fully booked which is totally our own fault for not booking to stay longer in the first place & this just shows how great the hotel is. The hotel is clearly very popular, as it should be. I would highly recommend this hotel!
