Location is great in the city , for sight seeing. The pool is quite small but good for a refreshing dip. The rooms are a bit dated , could do with more attention to cleaning. No windows in the room ( unless you want to open blinds into communal hall. Food in the restaurant was great !

Fantastisk ophold

Fantastik flot og nyt hotel. Store lækre værelser med egen stor altan med udsigt over naturparken. Poolområdet var super lækkert i frodige grønne omgivelser. Personalet helt utrolig imødekommende og serviceminded. Morgenmad og aftensmad var lækker og alt var rent og pænt.

Toppenhotell

Mycket bra hotell, mycket fräscht, både möbler, fastigheten, trädgård och utsmyckningar. Riktigt trevligt. Här känner man sig riktigt avkopplad! Mycket nära till Nationalparken och hemmet för föräldralösa elefanter. Märktes dock att det är lite nytt, så logistiken fungerade inte alltid klockrent, men god mat och mycket trevlig atmosfär och personal. Toppen helt enkelt!

A nice stay

The hotel was clean and the room a good size for three adults. The food was good and we ate the buffet on both nights. We were told it would be a forty-five minute wait for a-la carte. The gym facilities need improving! There is not much around the hotel so if you are wanting to do a safari, then a one night stay would be enough. The pool area was nice - a beautiful view!

Could be so much better

This property has potential to be so much more interesting and enjoyable but lacks managerial insight and imagination . There is a fantastic rooftop to watch the sunset from and there are no tables or service anywhere in sight . Front desk lacked answers to questions and didn't seem motivated to provide any . General atmosphere needs improvement .

Nice hotel near safari park

This is one of the closest hotels (1-2 miinutes drive) to Udawalawa nationaj park, which is well worth the visit. Hotel itself is a big lace for tour groups, so rather hectic,but rooms are reasonably nice.
