I stayed at the hotel and found it to be a wonderful place with a few drawbacks. The rooms were tastefully designed and comfortable, but some had no windows and had a slight smell. The service was excellent overall, although there were language barriers at Tamarind Restaurant. The location offered a stunning view of Kandy and its surroundings, making it easy to explore the area, but the overall upkeep was lacking. The dining experience was enjoyable with good food, especially in Tamarind Restaurant. The facilities were decent but could use some improvements in certain areas.
