Lovely heritage historical small hotel. We were upgraded to a heritage room. Room was large with separate shower and toilet, and all very comfortable but the lighting was a bit too low.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff are great! However, the hotel is lacking in some basics, especially considering the high price they charge. For example: no coffee in the room (although advertised), stains on sofa, no kleenex, no holder for toilet paper. Lighting in my room was wholly inadequate, I had to use my cell phone's flashlight to read something on the desk - this was during the day!

It is a wonderful hotel, with fantastic staff, clean and in a perfect location. Gayan helped us on our arrival and breakfast time, he was so kind and made us feel really welcome. Also, breakfast is absolutely super delicious with lots of Sri Lankan fruits and options and lovely coffee.
