They have let the place go a bit, looking a bit run down. They have also closed the rooftop bar which is really disappointing, location and view up there is a highlight

Homely feel, short walk to the centre of town, food was excellent. Owner a nice old fella

The furniture was a little tired. The hotel is on 5 levels so you need to be fairly fit tostay there

Food was excellent

Owner tells many stories to avoid card payments. The building is very rundown especially the toilet needs cleaning

The location is convenient, but it’s located in the hill and it’s a hard climb

The owner was very friendly and I enjoyed chatting with him. Buffet dinner is superb with all types of traditional Sri Lankan food.

The owner seems to have given up, and the staff were poor but did try. Billed as a hotel more a hostel now, rooms shabby at best. Seems to have gone downhill, lonely planet reviews were good. Lady hotel at the top of a steep hill.

Available at a busy time...wonder why!

We had to wait for a while both to check in and check out. The rooms, especially the bathrooms were in dire need of redecorating and updating. Air con units had no controls, although there were ceiling fans so we were fine. Staff were friendly when we arrived and offered us tea but said very little when showing us the room and didn’t let us know anything about dinner so were disappointed that we didn’t eat there in the evening. It’s a shame as I understand the food is great.

The location was close to the lake

Overall a bit overpriced. The dinner is all worth it. Breakfast is not special.

Just a bit out of town so sometimes monkeys say hello. Warm welcome with a cup of tea.

Old and dusty furniture and facilities,the shower water leakage has a problem, door of shower room squeezes back automatically when open,making lots of noises. Although I ordered this room at usd28.35+usd 3 tax from the Booking,finally I was charged by the host over 11,000lkr.

Mosquito net ,soft bed ,welcoming tea,very basic breakfast

A lot of ants in our room (even if it was very clean)

Very beautiful view over the city of Kandy and nice (but a bit expensive) buffet dinner proposed to guest.

I wouldn’t say I didn’t like anything but it is basic in nature. It is quirky and possibly in need a lick of paint however none of that distracted from our stay

The views are amazing, the staff are lovely and the host is very warm and entertaining. The food was amazing, lots of new ingredients. Evening meals are a must try when you stay. I Would definitely drop back in if visiting Kandy again, xxxx

I have been travelling with my girlfriend across Asia for 9 months now. This was BY FAR the WORST hotel we've stayed in so far. To start off, the man they have working as a 'tour guide' tries to scare you by telling you that every other tour guide in the town except him is a heroin addict and they'll rob you, so you must only use him. To top it off, he stinks of alcohol. The owner of this hotel is the worst person we've met in 15 countries so far. He's extremely quick to tell you about his wonderful sons achievements when you're checking in, but the second you actually need something from him, it's like it's the end of the world. We checked in to our room and had no WiFi, a balcony door that did not lock, and a room filled with mosquitos. When we asked for WiFi, we were told someone would come to our room with the WiFi details in 10 minutes. We waited, and after 30 minutes, asked again. We were told the same, and eventually just gave up. The next morning, around 10am, we walked downstairs to head out for the day. We were already outside the hotel when the owner ushered us back in and asked us to 'do him a favour' and swap rooms because he had messed the room allocations up. He said it was in our interests as it's a bigger, better room. I said no, that we were already on our way out and would have to go back upstairs, re-pack, and move. He made it clear that it wasn't a question, but a demand. We spent the next hour moving rooms, only to find that it was not a bigger, better room, but the exact same room, only with no towels, again no WiFi, that was extremely dirty. We went back to the hotel that night and could not sleep, because the owner chooses to serenade the guests with 80's love music during dinner, which absolutely nobody wants. I woke up on the morning we were due to check out covered in bites of some kind which could literally only have been from the bed from the room they had moved us in to.

The property was in a semi-decent location, although at the top of an extremely steep hill.

The owner+🤢😡 there speaks very badly to the guests. Even though we booked there, they didn't prepare our room even after we arrived. In the end, we didn't stay there because we realized that staying there was not for us.The place is wonderful but they are not that good.
