Review summary
Powered by AI
Location: The location is highly praised, with multiple mentions of being about a ten-minute walk to the Sacred Tooth Temple and Kandy Lake, very near to the city centre of Kandy, and within walking distance to the CBD. Also, some were situated on inner roads but had good proximity to attractions.(based on 2 reviews)

The owners and employees at this hotel are so, so lovely. Unfortunately their hotel is not. I almost feel catfished as many of the photos highlighted the bar and pool party atmosphere. This was not the case - the pool was a decent size but in the shade and I actually didn’t see anyone in it. The pool party drinking shots I highly suspect were perhaps not a genuine source. The same goes for the bar which is massive and attended to by several lovely young, bored gentlemen as both times I popped up (once for dinner) I was the only patron. Again no party atmosphere or even people - which is a shame as it is a big venue. Fortunately next door was another venue for some decent cocktails and music which saved the boredom somewhat. The bedroom was a decent size with a small fridge (but didn’t work), the bathroom was small, felt dirty, no hand soap or soap for the shower (apart from leftover previous occupants - and that was gross). The pressure was poor making showering difficult and there was plaster on the floor from some damage - not cleaned up. The bed was massive and comfortable with air conditioning and a fan so sleep was good. Finally, and to repeat, the staff were lovely. Very hospitable and the location is about a ten minute walk to the Sacred Tooth Temple and Kandy Lake. So great location. Would I stay there again - no. Would I pop in to say hello to the owners and next door for a cocktails - possibly!

Situated on an inner road and with glass doors this hotel was a little scary to stay at. Breakfast was a set menu for each person and was layed out very beautifully.

Staff were wonderful, so helpful and took time to help me plan a full day as I only had one day in Kandy. They also gave me suggestions for my trip after Kandy also. The gym was fantastic to have and the pool. Kettle and fridge in the rooms. Located very near to the city Centre of Kandy. Really worth the reasonable price! Really personal touch…much appreciated! Would totally recommend!

It was a weekend, and the bars next to the hotel and inside were having a big party, with heavy metal rock until after 2am, and I couldn't fall asleep at all! It was a terrible experience

This is not even a two star hotel. There was one person at the reception who could not communicate in English. The rooms were just OK, however the showers were terrible. There was very low pressure. The breakfast was a disaster. They were totally understaffed and the kitchen was not suitable and capable for serving breakfast. It took over 20 minutes just to get coffee. After an hour of waiting for breakfast we left and went for breakfast to a restaurant in the town. Would definitely not recommend this Hotel.

I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others after our experience at this hotel. What’s advertised online and what you actually get are two very different things. Let’s start with the pictures: completely misleading. The images online show clean, modern rooms — in reality, the hotel is run-down, moldy, and far from the fresh, welcoming place we expected. It’s hard to believe some of the glowing reviews are for the same place — while a few do reflect reality, many feel suspiciously out of sync. We booked a family room for 4 and were placed next to another family of 5 — despite the hotel being nearly empty. The walls are paper thin, and we could hear everything. It felt like we were all crammed into one big room with no privacy at all.The room itself? Awful: Moldy smell, masked poorly by overpowering mothballs Cockroaches in the room (!) Stained sheets that didn’t look or feel clean No hot water in the shower A “buffet breakfast” that turned out to be just breOK, and definitely not a buffet.After complaining, we were moved to a slightly bigger room — unfortunately, right below the hotel bar. The friendly staff kindly warned us about the music playing until 11pm... but neglected to mention the nightclub next door, which blasted bass-heavy music until 3:30am. It was impossible to sleep. Although we had booked for 4 nights, we left after just 1. When we asked for a refund, we were flatly denied — even though the hotel was far from full. To make matters worse, we were charged full rack rate during low season. A complete rip-off. Please don’t be fooled by the website or some of the overly positive reviews. This place is not what it claims to be, and there are far better options nearby that actually respect their guests. Save yourself the frustration and money — avoid this hotel at all costs.

The staff were very nice, the room was very comfortable. The bar was fine, however I ordered hot butter mushrooms and got what i think was aubergine covered in something very heavy

The worst hotel ever! Don't even think to go here. Extremely dirty! The shower with spiders and dirty glasses, on the bed we found ants, the walls with mould , the little fridge ....I can't even describe it! The swimming pool with dirty and smelly water. We left the hotel after 2 hours we were there!
