I had an enjoyable stay at this hotel, which was clean and comfortable with friendly staff. The location was convenient, being pretty close to the town center. However, the dining options could be improved as breakfast was basic. Also, the value for money was decent, but I expected a bit more for what I paid.

This hotel has a lot going for it, especially with its clean and comfortable rooms. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my stay even better. However, I do think the service could use some improvement in terms of professionalism. Additionally, while the location is quite convenient for getting to the center of Kandy, it is situated in a poorly lit alley, which felt a bit sketchy at night.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel boasts a really beautiful view of the surroundings and the rooms were spacious. The location was convenient to the temple of the tooth, but the service left a lot to be desired, which was disappointing.
