I can’t say enough about the hospitality that my wife and I received from this hotel. Mahinda went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. He set up our safari and ensured we had a ride made breakfast and ensured we got home safe.

Sehr empfehlenswert!

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Zimmer war sauber und gepflegt, ebenso das Bad – alles wirkte ordentlich und gut gereinigt. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das freundliche Personal, das jederzeit hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend war. Insgesamt ein tolles Hotel, das wir gerne weiterempfehlen!

アヌラーダプラとウィルパッドゥ国立公園目的で予約。シャワーの水圧は低いですが、お湯も出ます。親切なAshanさんはメールの返信も迅速でとても優しくしてくれました。夕方の到着便でしたが、送迎も行ってくれました。徒歩圏内にスーパーもあります。

Our room was spacious and clean. The hotel has got also a nice small restaurant, facing a beatiful garden, with excellent Sri Lankan food (but not only). Recommended

Très jolie petit hôtel, tout récent et très bien tenu. Très bon confort. Repas excellents , 3 soirs de suite, sous une tonnelle dans le jardin. Seul petit bémol: étant situé au bord d'un grand boulevard, le bruit du traffic peut gêner.
