The staff were very attentive but I had a few issues. I had a phone call at 9:30am asking if I was coming down to breakfast (served until 10am), if I was having a lie in this would have woken me up. I also had issues with staying in my room, I booked the hotel for another two nights in my arrival as I liked it so much and arranged to stay in my room with the staff. However, on the change over day I had 4 different telephone conversations asking me to vacate my room, I even went down to reception and sorted it and then got another phone call 30 minutes later. This communication between staff needs to be sorted as it caused unnecessary stress to my trip.

I loved this hotel, the facilities and the location were perfect. I loved my room, it felt very old fashioned England!

Restaurant food not great and management staff spending more time chatting up girls than serving customers. Didn’t go to breakfast even though paid for as it was a bad experience the night previously

In a great spot but very noisy.

The TV had to be reset a couple of times and the key cards for the rooms stopped working and we had to get them reset a couple of times also.

Location was very good. You could walk into town quite easily. The Grand hotel was next door offering more choices of great restaurants. We enjoyed the Indian restaurant there. Araliya Green Hills staff offered us a private dining experience in The wine bar room on top level one night. The food was very good and we enjoyed the experience. It was a quiet time so we had set menus in the restaurant week days, but we preferred the buffet breakfast at the weekend which was amazing. We particularly enjoyed the masala dosas and hoppers with curry. There was a huge choice of eastern and western food. The serving staff were excellent and in particular Kalhari was very attentive and efficient serving our table. She was very friendly and spoke English very well. She also advised us of what to see in the area. Very helpful. All staff and management were extremely helpful and could not do enough for us. We did have a couple of minor issues with our room but these were sorted out speedily and efficiently to our satisfaction. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Housekeeping was great. The bed was very comfortable. We had fresh flowers and chocolates in our room which we enjoyed. We used the bar which was very quiet but had a bit of background music. The bartender was great and made good cocktails.

There was a minor issue with the room heater not functioning properly. Thankfully, the weather was mild during our stay, and the staff promptly provided extra blankets upon request. It’s possible the heater was overlooked due to the comfortable temperatures at the time. Since the overall service was excellent, we didn’t feel the need to complain—but a quick check before guest arrival would make things even better.

I stayed here with my family and we were really impressed by the staff. Everyone was polite, helpful, and always had a warm smile—something that makes a big difference when you’re traveling with loved ones. They were attentive without being intrusive, and their calm, respectful attitude made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Truly great hospitality!

It could’ve been a 4 or a 5-star hotel in the past, however, it’s not as of now. The hotel is quite old and it shows in everything. I couldn’t get anything to eat after 11PM which is weird for such a place. The stay was comfortable and the staff were great. Value wise it’s not worth the price paid.

On first night of dinner, being ignored and made to wait for a chef to even acknowledge me, then they have a habit of starting to put things in the wok before asking what I wanted, which resulted in some items then being fished out! Swimming pool is a bit sad.

A very nice hotel close to the town. Breakfast and dinner was good with lots of choices.

The pool area was quite deserted and no life guards were present at the moment. The lighting could have been better as it was quite dark at the kids pool area. But the pool was warm and well maintained.

The room was very cozy and comfortable. Was quite relaxing as it was cold and raining outside. The breakfast spread was delicious but could have added a bit more variety of desserts. The dinner was on a set menu so we ordered separately from the menu which was delicious as well. Overall the stay was perfect we enjoyed our time there. Special mention about the staff they were very friendly and caring towards our 3 year old son. He was quite happy with them.

The hotel is quite old so it can have a renovation to have higher standard for the price. The pool is pretty lame, so we didn't even try.
