We spent three nights here and thought the hotel was great value for money. The views from our balcony windows were wonderful. We saw monkeys playing in the trees, tons of birds, and large fruit bats at night. The staff were friendly, helpful, couldn't have been better. Amila helped with language lessons, and was kind enough to share her birthday cake. The breakfast was good, we chose the Sri Lankan rather than omelets, etc. On the negative side, the room was worn, but it was very clean. And probably the biggest downside was the long walk up a very steep hill, so you might want to consider a tuk-tuk (Rs 200-250 if you bargain). However, once at the bottom, the walk along the lake into Kandy town was nice.
