I stayed at the hotel 2 nights. I arrived late the first one, but I was still served some delicious food, really yummy and as usual in Sri Lanka, extremely veggie friendly. I had only one day to stay in the city before going back south so I decided to take the guide for the day in order to make the most of it. I think that was the best decision I made. the guide Rameez speaks good english and he really knows his stuff. We visited everything on bikes, which was an absolute pleasure, he showed me everything that I wanted to see and more, he understood that I didn't want to be rushed and so we took our time. One of the best day of my stay in Sri Lanka. For the hotel, I don't remember it being over priced and I definitly know that the food is really cheap compared to the quantity and quality. Overall, I would recommand the hotel.

Ok from the outside it's obvious it's had better days, our room was the tiny one at the back.. It was clean and sufficient.. No one was hard selling to us.. The waiter was a star.. Such a friendly man.. Great curry.. When it was all gone more was offered .. Nice gesture...

We stayed here for two nights. The room was clean but small. The food was delicious and the friendly waiter taught us how to eat with our fingers, Sri Lankan style. We had a good stay, but it was overpriced, compared to the places we stayed at in the rest of the country.
They organised bikes for us to hire - great value and an amazing way to explore all the ruins.

We have spent 2 nights here. The house has a lot of charm from outside, but the rooms are very old with run-down furniture. The glass door of our room let all the noise in, plus the light from the common areas. Some other reviews mentioned this place is dirty. I found it clean but it might look dirty because the furniture/bathroom is old. Meals (especially breakfast Rs 500 pp) were expensive, and nothing included in price. Although I must admit the meals are delicious.
This was the most expensive accommodation we stayed at, but the least pleasant experience we had. If they just halved their prices, I would not complain but you get no value for your money here.
WiFi internet for extra cost.
We were disappointed by the staff who was too keen on finding transportation for us for an incredibly high price that obviously we did not accept but made much cheaper deals directly with the tuk-tuk owners.
