    Wash rooms could do with some renovations to repair leaking shower stalls. Need to be more generous with good qulaity towels. Need at least 2 bath towels and small towels per occupant (Current allocation is just 1 low quality towel). Needs more regular and frequent room cleaning for long term occupants.

    Excellent location right in front of the Royal Botanical Gardens, obsequious and skilled staff. On site restaurants provide good food at reasonable prices. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. Overall, it's certainly, good value for money.

    Loud music till 11:00 pm or 23:00. Wifi has limited coverage - only ground floor, maybe 1st as well - no coverage on 2nd.

    Restaurant has huge portions, if ordering separately from buffet. Location is very close to multiple sightseeing places. Nice big pool.

    Water heater in the shower was not working. The staff replaced it quickly, but the replacement heater provided only lukewarm water. No hot water provided to the bathroom sink. The beds are very firm, with little padding in the mattress. Room was serviced only once over the course of five days.

    Great location near the University of Peradeniya and the Botanical Garden. Good breakfast, although there was a somewhat limited selection of items in the buffet.

    The whole scenario even management and staff not cooperative and told us to speak to booking.com

    I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding my recent experience at your hotel. Unfortunately, due to several serious issues, we decided not to stay and had to leave immediately after checking the room. Although the hotel exterior looked beautiful and the photos on your website appeared promising, the condition of the room was far from what was advertised. The issues we encountered included: Dirty and stained towels, no hot water in the bathroom, A leaking shower, a Mini fridge with no power Overall room cleanliness was very poor An unpleasant and unhygienic atmosphere, the main power keeps cutting off, even though I left my scarf behind didn't bother to go and collect. This experience was extremely disappointing, and it did not meet even the basic standards of comfort and hygiene. We had to make last-minute arrangements elsewhere, which caused a great deal of inconvenience. I request that you investigate this matter seriously, as the room was not in a suitable condition for guests. I also hope that immediate steps will be taken to improve the cleanliness and maintenance of your property to prevent similar experiences for future guests.

    Apart from the location, everything else was terrible.

    We arrived around 12 noon. At that time, they said the previous guests had just left, and they couldn't arrange an early check-in. We totally accepted this and left to come back at 2 p.m., their correct check-in time. However, they then said the room was still not available as they still had to clean the bathroom. The receptionists were unfriendly and disrespectful. We waited around 45 minutes to check in. The bathroom floor was still wet when we entered. There was no WiFi inside the room. It was only available in public areas. The room was next to the restaurant, making it very noisy. I do not recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful stay.

    Location is very convenient.

    There was no free WiFi in the rooms. Cleanliness of the dining area and the corridors/public space could improve. There was a lot of chatter of the staff heard at late night

    The location is central to the university, hospital and places of interest such as the botanical gardens in Peradeniya. The breakfast was worthy for the price (but is a Sri Lankan one)
