Simply amazing the staff , from welcome to check out

Ashwin, India

Everything about the is good. Amazing views, staff, food and ambience. Would recommend to anyone.

Stefan, Malta

The hotel staff were very obliging with late check-in and early check-out. The room was large and clean and had beautiful views of Kandy, being high up on the hills. We loved that the room had a fan, rather than just an air-conditioning system; the nights being so cool, it was lovely just to have windows open. Wifi connection was good and the breakfast spread was varied. My husband and I particularly liked the juices being fresh & different during the days of our stay.

Rajashree, Singapore

Amazing hotel at the top of a peak overlooking Kandy, didn't expect such a wonderful building, service and view - pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend. Very clean, comfortable beds and the restaurant good selection at reasonable pricess (albeit not authentic local but a good option). Amazing service.

Daniel, Australia

It was really nice place. very calm and there is an off road to the hotel. Facilities and Swimming pool is great and there are lot of activities we played badminton, tennis there z an Gym and pool table. Its really worth for money.

눉The blinds in the bathroom don't close completely and might be awkward if someone isn't staying with their partner. Travellers with mobility issues would also find the hotel restrictive as there isn't an elevator in the hotel.
눇The hotel staff were very obliging with late check-in and early check-out. The room was large and clean and had beautiful views of Kandy, being high up on the hills. We loved that the room had a fan, rather than just an air-conditioning system; the nights being so cool, it was lovely just to have windows open.

눉Pool area a little dated and a little out of the way - but very minor issue. Finding the hotel is a little challenging if you don't have a driver. We had our own driver so didn't have an issue but you could not walk here. A tuk-tuk or car/driver is inexpensive but should be factored into your plans
