Wonderful hotel and we had an amazing stay. Very clean and well maintained with absolutely stunning interior and great rooms. The restaurant was excellent with good variety of cuisine from all over the world. Recommend to stay here when in Kandy.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a hugely disappointing experience. I would not recommend this hotel but if you really have to stay here, demand a room in the Executive wing. The rooms in the original wing are extremely run down, tired, smell of damp/mould and absolutely not worth $600 AUD for the night. The front desk, particularly the duty manager (Naveen?) was very defensive and quite annoyed when we asked to see another room. At check out they tried to blame Expedia for overcharging us, rather than taking responsibility for the sub standard property. The hallways are damaged, worn, and desperately need repair. The rooms have cracked and chipped furniture, and stained bench tops. I would highly recommend staying somewhere else!

While the hotel overall is excellent, the hotel does need to address the old wing. We have previously stayed in the new wing & have had no complaints & returned due to our great experience. This time however we were placed in the old wing which needs to be refurbished. Additionally we got very little sleep due to the paper thin walls through which I could hear the neighbours mobile phone pinging & their child crying. If staying at this hotel, request the new wing or the hotel needs to refurbish the old wing

Feel cheated by both the Expedia as have done booking for 4 and taken half course which is break fast and one meal where as the voucher shows only for 2 adults. The worst part is property manager knew that the voucher had written 2 but they didn’t inform us that the meals are there for 2 only and when we checked out raised a bill for meals of $140 whereas I paid $80 already for the same . Wasted almost an hour and later have to pay $100 extra . Really sad part, it’s not about money but the conduct.

Nice place, good service. Not many sun loungers at the pool. Sad to hear that the leftovers from the buffet are thrown out and not given to the ones in need. Try to reduce food waste, and at the same time do something good for the ones without much.

Overall the hotel itself is excellent, the staff, the facilities and the food.....an excellent hotel. The only negative does not relate to the hotel itself maybe more about the city of Kandy, its very nosey and busy, we were hounded by local traders and drivers all day which compared to other parts of the country we would not have the same experienceits

The hotel is an easy ride into town. Staff were very pleasant. We were upgraded to a family suite, which made our stay very enjoyable - great room. It has an amazing infinity pool overlooking the mountains. The pictures of the hotel make it look like there are no other developments around it, which is not the case. Unfortunately the food and drinks service was very chaotic. It often came late and cold. The wine and beer were served at room temperature. But they were happy to put on ice if you waited a while.

Great staff, tired and dated room.

Needs some TLC. Room was dated and bathroom needed attention due to mould. Pigeon nest in void over balcony annoying. One small net would deal with it.
