IndiaLovely location, rooms and hospitality. Would visit again
IndiaThe staff was warm and hospitable; they extended us the latest possible check-out. The food on the premises ranged from great to AMAZING (the Indian restaurant is absolutely top-notch, as was breakfast). We loved our room; it was comfortable and clean and had all the amenities we could ever dream of Sri Lanka. Highly Recommend.

United Arab EmiratesI want to do a special shout out to Chrish and Haneef, the 2 concierges I interacted with during my stay. They were extremely helpful with tours, coordinating some of our activities around the city and to Kandy; they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Thank you so much guys! I much appreciated all your support, and friendliness. Keep up the great work!
