The hosts Prince and Akram were very hospitable and helped us a lot in planning our short two night stay. We went for a beautiful trail from the hotel to two nearby points shantipura view point and one tree hill and walked till the Gregory Lake. The trail was very nice and we couldn't have known about this without the hosts' help. The place was very cosy and we also met and interacted with quite a few guests. Had a very nice vibe!

Asjath Sri Lanka

Absolutely cozy and clean room with wooden interiors. Located in a lovely quiet place a little away from downtown. The owner is very generous and welcoming, giving the vibes of typical Sri Lankan hospitality. In addition to the comfy rooms, the common area is also equipped with fireplace, sofa, etc., making it more comfortable for the guests. Enjoyed my stay there in a rainy day, away from all the hassle, listening to pigeon calls. I would recommend going for a room upstairs for the best views.
