The location outside bustling, hectic Kandy and its traffic was ideal for peace and sense of natural beauty. The welcome was warm, the room a bit tired and needing some update, but quite acceptable. We commented on a badly leaking tap, in light of water shortages in the area, but it was not fixed over our 2-day stay. Food was good and reasonably priced, the pool was nice but could do with some loungers for relaxing after a swim. As with almost all our Sri Lanka trip, staff were friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our short stay. Our driver was essential for getting to and from Kandy's attractions.
