The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Stunning Lake View

I stayed in a Triple Room with Lake View and the experience was very nice! The room was large and comfortable, and the amazing view over the lake made my mornings lovely. I loved sipping my tea on the balcony while watching the sunrise. It was just a perfect way to start the day!

Delicious Sri Lankan Breakfast

The Sri Lankan breakfast I had during my two-night stay was truly good. Each dish was freshly made and full of flavor. I especially appreciated that the staff catered to my kids' preferences, providing corn flakes and fruits to ensure they enjoyed their meals too. It was a fantastic way to fuel up for the day!

Clean and Comfortable

I found the bathroom in my room to be very clean and well-maintained. The shower had great water pressure and provided hot water consistently, which I appreciated during my stay. It felt like a personal retreat after a long day of exploring!

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful lake views from my clean and comfortable room with a balcony. While the location was stunning, the noise from the road and a draft from the balcony door were drawbacks. The service was courteous and helpful, but I did notice a lack of uniform for a more professional touch. Overall, it felt like a good value for the experience, considering some minor issues with noise and the dining options.
