Amazing hotel

Amazing experience and exceptional staff who tended to my every need. Particularly Sivaraj who worked at the front/lobby who helped me organise my forwarding journey. Also experience the bliss package message in which Nina gave an amazing service to relax and recharge my body. Will definitely recommend and will visit again Thank you once again

The Best !

Amazing experience - all round wonderful hotel with exceptional service. Dananjaya and the pastry chef organized wonderful birthday cakes for my wife. We’ve stayed in a good few hotels around the world but never seen such dedication and kindness. We had an enormous room which was so comfortable. Credit to Sumit and probart for excellence in room service.

Very nice property and would certainly stay there again. A couple of notes. The carpeting in our room was getting old - number of small stains - nothing critical but for the standard the hotel portrays, it should be better. The morning rooster - every morning! Both the breakfast and dinner buffet were extensive, however the food quality was a bit below what one would expect from a higher end hotel. Food was good, but needed that extra oomph to bring it to a higher level.

Overall the stuff we’re friendly except at the date of checkout one lady called me from the reception around 11:30 am and she asked me what time are you checking out sir? I told her 1230 and she told me rudely that after 1230 the system will start charging you per hour it was sound like a threat which I didn’t like

Overall the hotel itself is excellent, the staff, the facilities and the food.....an excellent hotel. The only negative does not relate to the hotel itself maybe more about the city of Kandy, its very nosey and busy, we were hounded by local traders and drivers all day which compared to other parts of the country we would not have the same experienceits

Nice place, good service. Not many sun loungers at the pool. Sad to hear that the leftovers from the buffet are thrown out and not given to the ones in need. Try to reduce food waste, and at the same time do something good for the ones without much.
