We received a good welcome, and were pleased with our room. It was spacious, with a large, comfortable bed, but rather limited hanging space. It was nice and clean, but noise intruded at times from the corridor if the air-con unit was turned off.
The restaurant was a buffet, offering a good range of well-cooked food. Tables for 2 that were not on the main 'walkways' were difficult to find. Service was good.
The hotel is nicely located for visiting Kandy, being situated on the riverside, away from the traffic. Pleasant boat trips on the river are available.
Beware, however! One night there was a big local wedding in the hotel, with loud speeches, music, fireworks, and shouting around the corridors until 3 a.m. We had to rise at 6 a.m. and found this spoilt our stay. Hotels that are meant to be providing a good night's sleep really should not be taking bookings for this sort of function.
