The hotel is centrally located in the heart of the city, making it convenient to explore all the attractions. The rooms have a slightly dated look, but if you request a room away from the entrance, you can enjoy a quieter stay. The service is top-notch, with the staff being incredibly polite and accommodating. The dining options are good, though a bit limited. Overall, a decent stay with some minor improvements needed.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were quite noisy per night and needed a refresh, although they were nice and large with pleasant views overlooking the ocean. The service was professional and friendly, but there were some issues with noise during morning cleaning. The location was very pleasant, yet under-staffed and in need of renovation. The dining experience offered a mix of Sri Lankan and western dishes, but the variety and quality fell below expectations. Overall, it was an average experience with both positives and negatives.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was the size of a big apartment and beautifully equipped, but there was an initial issue with a bad smell that got resolved after a complaint. The staff seemed more interested in chatting among themselves than providing attentive service, with some instances of rudeness. On the upside, the location was perfect right in the heart of the city, near key attractions like the Temple of the Tooth and a bustling market. Dining options were varied, although one dinner fell short of expectations. The hotel's facilities were satisfactory.

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The extremely clean rooms with modern comforts were a definite highlight, but the loud traffic noise from the main road outside was a downside. The service was not as helpful as we had hoped, with some issues regarding the booking terms. The location was fantastic, right in the center with easy access to key attractions, but the dining experience was a bit below expectations. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel's cleanliness and convenient location were positive aspects.

The hotel has a mix of old-world charm and scenic beauty, with rooms featuring stunning lake views and historic touches. The service was welcoming, although there were instances where preferences seemed apparent. The location is excellent, near key attractions but in need of some refurbishment.
