We stayed for two nights and it was an excellent experience. We had a river facing room and the facilities are just as described. The breakfast spread was very impressive with lots of options. The hotel location is very impressive and it’s a great view from the lobby and pool bar. The staff were very helpful and always smiling.

We stayed at Cinnamon Citadel for our Anniversary celebration and we were impressed with their excellent hospitality since we checked in. Very beautiful hotel for relaxing. During the pandemic situation they have higher safety precautions followed ensuring the guests are safe. I ordered a Black Forest Gateaux and the Executive pastry chef Dushmantha made it very fresh and deliciously which we loved very much. He is an outstanding person who does beyond to make sure that we are satisfied with their service. We are delighted and grateful to the whole staff who made a memorable stay for us. We will definitely book again and will recommend to our friends and relatives too.
