Great amenities, great ambiance, love the feel. Great breakfast too. Loved the variety and choice. The Sri Lankan selection was great. Staff are very friendly and courteous. But the front desk employees seem not empowered at all. Had to check every minor thing, including the Expedia voucher with back office. The electronic key card had to be changed 3 times and it still failed to work regularly. Room cleaning staff always forgot to leave something including water. But they fix all the mistakes very promptly and my experience was positive. Will definitely stay again.

Really nice hotel. Outside looks a bit old but very nice on the inside. Wasn't a fan of the green carpets. Most staff are very nice. Only issue is that the colombar is really loud late at night when trying to sleep. Overall i'd come back

I am trying hard not to be negative because I want them to do well. However there were a number of mishaps and experiences that made my experience not so great. After dinner at the Chinese restaurant at the hotel, I wanted to go in to the outside patio bar to get a cocktail and listen the live music - they didn’t let me in because I was wearing my Birkenstocks. They told me that all men had to wear shoes because a lot of gangsters come in flip flops and make trouble. I was disappointed that after being a paying guest at the hotel, they didn’t have a system in place to accommodate already screened guests. I had no problem eating at he most expensive restaurants at the property wearing my sandals. Ironically, Sri Lankan national costume for men is a long sleeve shirt, sarong and flip flops or sandals. Matter of fact most prominent politicians in Sri Lanka wear flip flops! My night continued to go down as I moved to the lobby bar with my family to have night cap before calling it a night. All I wanted was a sugar shot of whiskey and not a double which I reiterated to the waiter at least twice - he kept asking me if I wanted a double. Anyway, the two of us received our single shot of Glenlivet 12 yo and enjoyed it. I asked to settle the bill and they said they didn’t have anything on record of me ordering anything but overcharged me by double the price and never apologized. Although I settled the bill in full, I felt taken advantage of.

Average Rating.

This is a decent hotel but not excellent I would say. Looks old and needs lot of attention to finer aspects of the rooms and building. Location is certainly very good if you have a lake view room. Pool is also good and large. Food is average with very less sitting space as compared to the room accommodation ( I had my B/F standing all the time ). I had to call for proper toilet kits all the time... Over all not very bad but not very good as well... to stay if you get a good price deal.

The hotel in general is excellent however they run very loud club style events in the outside restaurant until 1am to 2am and any room facing the lake is almost shaking with the noise, so if you stay and don’t want to party then ask for a room not facing the lake. Zero sleep had after a long haul flight from uk and with early train next day so felt like a very expensive sleepless night.
