Stayed one night during visit to Kandy for the Perahera.
The rooms just below the open air restaurant are said to be the best in the hotel, but the noise from the restaurant is a great disadvantage, especially the lift from the kitchen in the basement to the restaurant. People were coming back from the Perahera to have their dinner until after 1 am, and they started the breakfast already at 530 am.
I had room 205 which had a great view (I guess that room 204 has an even better view). It was a nice big room with satellite TV and minibar. However too much space was taken up by a third bed. The bed was nice but the pillows were horrible.
Nice big bathroom, but the shower cubicle in the corner was tiny.
Food was at the best average. Midnight dinner was a 5 course set menu. As in many other hotels the chicken was steaming hot, while the mashed potatoes and vegetables were cold. Breakfast was buffet. Only service from the waiter was when he asked how I wanted my eggs prepared.
I was happy that my guide avoided to pay the Perahera supplement, so I only paid LKR 5,000 for the room.
