Great location, fantastic views, good food, excellent service, but needs TLC. Close to the centre of Kandy this is a great location to explore Kandy from. The pool sitting area is extremely small, luckily for us there were not many people there so this did not impact us at all, however there was no shade in the area and the... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights at the end of our trip around Sri Lanka and were very happy with our choice. The hotel is a small boutique set in the mountains, so great views across the whole of Kandy from the rooms and restaurant. Our room was nice with a good sized en-suite bathroom, which due to...

We stayed here for two nights in a superior room as we liked the idea of having a Jacuzzi on the balcony. We were greeted by Russell who was very friendly and looked after us though our short stay. The room was a tad tired and could do with a good clean in our opinion. The bathroom was big with... More

This hotel has been described as a cafe with rooms which is a little unfair although it it has only a small balcony outside the restaurant and a small pool with limited places (we were away all day so it didn't matter to us). If you think of it as a big house rather than a hotel then you won't... More
