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 States of AmericaLoved the whole estate ... rooms a bit old in style but it is really clean and homey
United Arab EmiratesLovely large room with huge luxurious bathroom. Very comfortable bed and excellent air con. Was sent some fruit and sweets to the room, which was nice. Fast room service. Enjoyed the violinist and pianist in the lobby. There is a wide choice at breakfast with several cooked to order options. Staff moved our room upon request when there was a festival on nearby which made our room too noisy to sleep.
