Gracious hosts, excellent Sri Lankan food, central location near historic landmarks, intimate home-like setting, designed by famous architect and pupil of Geoffrey Bawa.

Stayed here for my business trip and it was an excellent experience. The breakfast was truly amazing, offering both local and Western options. The location of the hotel was perfect, walking distance to the beach and train station. Additionally, taking advantage of a nearby hotel's pool was definitely a plus.

Although the hotel had a lovely design, the lack of a key or the ability to enter the hotel without assistance was inconvenient. The fact that there was no information provided on nearby attractions or things to do was also a bit disappointing.

The hotel offers great value for money, with affordable prices for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in this hotel is commendable. From the well-maintained rooms to the lovely plumpy sofas, every aspect has been carefully thought of. The location of this hotel is perfect. It is fairly close to the seafront, allowing easy access to the beach, and also close to the capital city and train station. The breakfast at this hotel is delicious. Whether you opt for the famous egg-hoppers or the mouthwatering omelettes stuffed with cheese and vegetables, you're in for a treat.

This hotel exceeded my expectations.
