The hotel itself is simple and is cared for by only a few people (owner is a large company).
Unfortunately it is not as clean as it could be. A black tuft of hair in the drain is not so nice. Also, the joints in the bathroom floor could withstand a thorough cleaning.
The rooms themselves are quite large and functional, but also very clairaudient because partly with a connecting door.
Since it is a former private house, the circumstances are appropriate.
For breakfast you can choose between local and international, the lunch consists of rice with different curries. Both are really good.
The dinner is a set menu, which you can safely do without and that did not consist of the announced dishes. Here you should ask for the curry from lunch. This is possible, but not offered by itself.
Anyway after everything should be asked, what you want (tea, coffee etc.).
Much is possible and will be brought immediately.
The fact that it is not openly offered is due to the inexperienced employees, but they are happy to fulfill all wishes, if one expresses them.
Finally and very reluctantly I have to mention the surroundings and the magnificent view.
Ungern because otherwise too many tourists book there and I would like this little paradise for me alone.
The endless view over the mountains, the unique light and the thus peaceful atmosphere makes up for all the small flaws in the hotel.
The sunrise could come from a Hollywood movie, but it is already at 5 o'clock!
If you are looking for peace and quiet, would like to experience Sri Lanka differently or want to find the most romantic place in the world, this is the place for you!
So please, please do not drive there! Leave this charming place to me! Or give me a coffee when they see me sitting on the terrace !
