I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is breathtaking with a stunning view of the lake, and it's quite near Kandy Lake. The rooms were cozy and clean, the service was top-notch, and the dining experience was a delight with fresh fruits. However, the uphill location might pose a challenge for older guests. The facilities were exceptional, but the price may be on the higher side for some travelers.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a comfortable stay, but the Wi-Fi was unreliable at times. The staff was friendly and accommodating, yet the dining experience fell short in terms of options. The location was convenient for reaching the train station and enjoying the early morning at the lake, despite being away from the city center. The facilities were adequate, but some areas showed signs of wear and tear.

The hotel is perched high on a hill, offering stunning views of the lake from the roof. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience pleasant. However, the location may pose challenges for elderly guests due to the hilltop setting. The dining experience on the roof with the picturesque view is delightful, although the traditional meals could offer more variety. The facilities are luxurious, including an impressive pool and amenities.
