    View, Location, Room, Architecture were all exceptional. Highly recommended. Short steep hill to climb to get to hotel, but that is what provides the wonderful lake view. Short walk to town and markets, and tooth temple a reasonable walk, also. Nice a la carte breakfast either Sri Lankan or western. Staff were all very nice and professional.

    When checking out they automatically add in a 10% service charge for your stay which is too much considering the cost already. Shouldn’t be allowed or at the very least you should be made aware at the time of booking.

    Great view with a lovely room plus nice staff and good location.

    Not a complaint from us but it is a steep climb to hotel.

    Very well situated to city centre but not to close, clean and spacious rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent with an amazing view.

    - The steepness level to get to the property was much worse than I expected from reading previous reviews. For me with intermediate knee issues, this put a lot of strain on them and I was in bad pain for several days after. Not the hotels fault just wish I knew about it before booking. Majority of Tuk tuks can go up and down, only had issues with one Tuk Tuk that couldn’t make it with that steepness. -inside of the rooms did not look as nice as the pictures, pretty outdated with major cracks on the walls. Because of this I would say value for money is on the lower end and would likely choose a cheaper alternative next time.

    -Cleanliness of the room -The view of the city and the lake from the room was beautiful -Staff really kind -Breakfast was good -Free ride to Kandy train station was a nice surprise

    We had a great stay - it felt like great value for money and I don't have any complaints!

    We had a really nice stay in Kandy. The room was lovely with an amazing view of the lake. It's a short walk into town so it's in a great location. The staff were incredibly helpful - they organised a lovely vegan breakfast for us and organised for us to be taken to Kandy train station for free. We only stayed for one night but could have stayed longer.

    Food was average, not wow. The Tv was old and useless you cannot do anything with it. There is a scare sleep hill to enter the property that the car will not do, but we discover tuk tuk can do easily. The room was too humid in the room, we had to turn on the dehumidifier from the ac to not smell mould.

    The stuff was good. Room decor and furniture were good and comfortable. The bathroom was nice. Nice location nice view quiet.

    Sadly we did not sleep very well due to noise. Some of the insulation on the door to the balcony was missing/peeling away so that noise travelled very easily through the gaps in the door and into the room.

    Excellent location, friendly staff, wonderful views over the lake and lush gardens, a great breakfast on the terrace, clean bathroom and good shower

    Digging work just outside of the rooms but I presume that will be finished soon. The incredibly steep drive up to the property.

    The location overlooking The Temple of the Tooth was excellent and a short walk into the city. The rooms were quite even though so close to the road .

    The location is great, worth the 1 minute steep walk up for the amazing views. The room was spacious with a view of the lake and temple - the photos don’t do it justice. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

    The hill up to the property is steep but you can get a tuk tuk up for a small fee or walk like we did but have to fit to make it.

    The road leading to the hotel is quite steep and was difficult for our hired driver to take us to the hotel from the main road.

    The room is quite luxurious and has a lovely view of the lake. The large windows and high ceilings really added to the experience. The breakfast was also really delicious and the chefs made us seconds seeing that we really enjoyed.

    No handrails on internal stairs. Very steep driveway cannot be used by cars but tuk tuk’s ok. Some guests might find it difficult to negotiate driveway.

    Beautifully architecturally designed property in superb location. Wonderful open air balcony/ dining area with views across Kandy Lake to the Temple of the Tooth. Excellent staff.
