The wash rooms could be upgraded a bit. The old tub with curtain is not my liking.

The colonial architectures and the lush gardens were really nice and calming. The rooms were very clean and also had the classic colonial touch

An old heritage hotel is going to be dated but bathrooms could be upgraded without affecting the overall ambience.

Quaint heritage hotel. Staff friendly. Good location.

Food was Good, Breakfast was really nice

The garden chairs need cushions! Dinner was very slow in arriving but waiting in the Lounge Bar wasn't tiring.

This is a true heritage hotel. Some reviews mention the fact that it is in a time warp. This is true but it's lovely to find a place where you can be transported back half a century. It is comfortable and cosy, germutlich.

We had a small problem with overbooking but the staff found a way to solve it, help us and compensate us for the trouble. Initial bad experience became a good one and with a positive outcome.

It is a very unique place where you feel like you travel in time. The post colonial style of the building makes it very interesting and special. Everything is original, stylish and fits together. The staff is very friendly and helpful and always welcome you with a smile. Location is very central, you will find many shops and restaurants nearby. Food is excellent and very versatile.

No pool, no recreational facilities at all, basically. The marketing mentions tennis but there is no tennis; they send you to a nearby tennis club that is sad and moribund and not included in the price. They have a billiard room but for some reason we’re not letting guests you use it. Not good.

Breakfast not included and for $10 US was infinitely bland and poorer in quality and quantity than what you would get at any family run guest house in Sri Lanka.

The bed and the room were still setup in the old fashioned way, but it is their style, so I can understand.

The staff were exceptionally helpful, kind and courteous. They went out of their way to assist us and make our stay comfortable. The food (both breakfast and dinner) were excellent.

The property is literally in a time capsule - the history is so interesting to learn and several photographs and it has a whole tale of its own. My mother grew up in the local area and remembered it well. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, more than willing to assist and the breakfast was tailor made according to our desires.

All good and impressive

Limited in facilities. Noise can be an issue. Request 1st floor rooms.

Elegant, old worldy. Universal powerpoints

Nothing actually. everything I wanted was available.

The building looks, well-waxed floors, are clean, the architecture, the history of the building, the large serviced garden space, the staff friendliness (there were one or two members of staff who forgot to greet with a smile or a simple hello). The location is right in the middle of the town, which makes it easy to explore the town.

Breakfast on the first day was good.

It would have been great if the hot water facility was good enough!! It took long time to get hot water !

The architectural design & the landscaping was good.

Better if introduce beds with low height!

The location is well-maintained, and we loved the garden area back and front, it's relaxing. The staff was very kind and friendly. Especially the food was too good. I recommend this place for a family stay,

the hotel might be preserving its legacy by maintaining the structure of the hotel, but I think having in-room wifi, tiled bathrooms and good TV would do really good for the next gen travelers

The staff was really good and professional. The food was excellent. Location is good

Power cuts during the day Lack of preparation for obtaining necessary fuel to run the generator Perhaps the towels can be a bit cleaner

Although the Hotel was not at fault, the power cuts during my stay made my stay somewhat uncomfortable. The generator was short of fuel. The restaurant and its staff were excellent Although the hotel is old, I find the stay very pleasant Hotel was also very accommodating for letting me leave a day early

Another great "Old times hotel". Great feeling of past British times. Lovely interior makes you feel you are staing in a muzeum. Surprisingly you have old CRT TV w DVD player. Lovely

Stayed in January 2022

Beds quality should be upgraded ,like duevet etc ... Bathrooms ok nice imperialistic British old age style ...nice to look but not functional or acceptable these days ..... Shower ok but you had to make big step up ,plus lift your leg up into a bath tub . Imagine a older person. ..not as sporty ..how he/she can take an easy shower . Of course it's an old Hotel with history ..and antic charms ..but still in modern days the bathroom is a aspect which I look very much into if it's good,and easy usaged..... Definately a nice historic bathroom ...and if walls could talk ..I would probably get red headed of what they have seen in past ...🤣 Today one can still do bathrooms in antic way but in a better accessible way .... Maybe here the only upgrade is needed .

Breakfast was real good ..tasty lot of choice and staff soo friendly . All in all a good stay ,foodwise,staff wise,friendliness superb ..👍👍👍
