    A bit far of town but a Tuk Tuk will run you in for 600LKR. The shower was cold

    The pool, lovely food, great bird spotting location over the river and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

    Vegetarian options in the dinner left a lot to be desired.

    Absolutely loved the rooms, the private balcony and the pool. We wished we had stayed for a longer duration but we covered Kandy in just one day. This location is a bit far from city centre so you will be completely dependent on the hotel for food. As vegetarians, the options were very limited for dinner but breakfast was good.

    The breakfast and dinner were not great and the staff was sometimes hard to find. The location turned out to be a disappointment, because many tuktuk and taxi drivers don't want to drive this far out of Kandy. There also weren't many restaurants close by.

    The hotel itself is very nice. We enjoyed the room and the pool very much. From the room, we had a private balcony with a view of the river.

    The bottom-most rooms in the hotel, situated in front of and closest to the river, had an amazing view. However, there was a garbage smell coming to the corner room.

    We booked two rooms with a stunning view of the river. Rooms were spacious & comfortable . Room charges were also reasonable. 😍😍😍

    Location is bit tough to get and move from if you are not having your own transport. Amenities for the prize charged are very less. Breakfast can be way better.

    The property is beautiful located by the river. Away from the city.

    Unfortunately the food was quite expensive but not really tasty and we had a stomachache afterwards. The bathroomfloor wasn't clean. Unfortunately no mosquito nets, and its quite difficult to attach your own but it's possible so definitely bring your own!

    The view on the river was beautiful, and the pool was super refreshing!

    We locked the room before heading to the city. Upon our return, we noticed the door was partially open, with no signs of intrusion. Even after locking it from the inside, the door would open on its own. When we informed the hotel manager, she mentioned that we needed to lift the door slightly to fully close it, which we hadn't been informed about during check-in. The hotel has multiple levels with numerous stairs for access. This was especially challenging for us as my wife had undergone knee surgery, making it difficult to navigate the stairs, even to reach the Car Park area and return.

    the room and stay was good

    A good 20mins tuc tuc ride from Kandy, down a long secluded road. No restaurants or bars within walking distance.

    Generous room size with nice balcony and small swimming pool. A fridge would have been nice. There was plenty of room for one
