    The double room with a view and facilities worked well for us. the hotel has an excellent very central location, adjacent to taxi services and tours. - It is situated in a beautiful location where the elephants bathe twice a day. - Easy access to a Sri Lankan zoo adds to the convenience of staying here.

    had a really enjoyable stay for one night, would have stayed for longer. the property seemed fairly clean and the room was a nice size. booked a room with very unique views at all the palm trees. the most important was the staff - very friendly and patient people. the location was best possible and comfy, just off tourist attraction as well as stream, in a good area. plus it was max 5 mins walk to the lake.

    The hotel was relaxing, very good services provided, perfect location in the area for orphanage fees. Recently renovated double room, comfortable beds. Full size breakfast with a wide array of hot/cold dishes. Early check-in, late check-out. Had free Wi-Fi in public areas. What an enjoyable stay, no complaints.
