The hotel is in a well maintained Dutch bungalow with excellent breakfast, hospitality and warmth. This hotel has amazing vibes, the swimming pool is amidst green garden. This is best propoerty to enjoy heritage with modern amenities. Highly recommended for couples looking for solace, peace and tranqulity. The english breakfast is amazing with good fruits, juices, bakery basket, hash brownies, and pan cakes.

The property was beautiful. Check-in was effortless and seamless. The staff was amiable throughout. The room was spacious. The AC worked fine, the bed was big enough for two people. The bathroom was one of the biggest I've seen. They had rainfall shower-type thing. Heck, the bathroom even had a fan in it. There's a small open area behind the room so you can smoke out there if that's your thing. WIFI and cable TV were free.
It was a bit out of the way. They offered to call you a taxi to the fort which was convenient but very expensive.

Food could be better and the floor wasn’t as clean as we expected.

We got the Admiral Suite, which was a great experience in itself. Every meal we ate was delicious (mostly Sri Lankan delicacies).

The atmosphere of the hotel was very good and so traditional. It was very quite and calm hotel and we relaxed and rested. Big variety for breakfast as there was the option of western and traditional Sri Lankan one.
The rooms was spacious and big.
The staff did not inform us that the our breakfast drinks (coffee and ice tea) were not included in the breakfast and we were charged. We found out the day we checked out.
Also, in the bathroom of the room, the small wooden kind of window close to the shower has holes by design and loads of insects, lizards etc came into the bathroom.

A beautiful property with an excellent pool. We really enjoyed watching the monkeys and other wildlife while completely chilling in the afternoons. The staff were so wonderful and friendly.
Would have been great if you could get beer at the hotel….

Gorgeous setting & room, excellent service
A bit far from the Fort
3.0
1. The furniture and architecture
2. The spacious rooms with large bathroom
1. The lack of professionalism by the staff - Which includes the manner in which they converse with customers and the intrusive/ constant knocking on the room door for silly questions, which could be sorted over a telephone call to the room extension. It was very hard for us to rest after a very long journey due to the constant intrusions. Staff came knocking much earlier than the time of checkout (11:30) on the last day asking us if we were leaving in a very unprofessional manner.
2. Horrible food with appalling flavour and a very small selection of food with a very strict selection policy, for the price one pays to stay here; unlike other establishments
3. The lack of respect to the concerns of the customer with regards to permission prior to entering for housekeeping. Apparently they had entered on their own accord whilst we were away, without asking first or atleast having a door card which indicates the need for privacy.
4. Dusty room with some lights not functioning and sand tracked on the floor of the room. This was the case even after the unintended housekeeping visit.
The main disadvantage despite all of the above is that the food and drinks are too overpriced for the quality and the portion size in comparison to a similar competitor. Evidently it was redundant to rectify this with the staff, since clearly, it was not their fault (upon assessing how well trained/ informed they were), therefore, we moved on to continue our stay at another more appealing hotel as we could not bear to be ripped off any further. I honestly do not understand what people see in the service this place has to offer, apart from the beautiful house and the antique furniture. Tried it, was disappointed, not visiting again; but, that should not sway you..... perhaps this was a one time issue here. I do think it is worth a visit though. I do hope you have a better experience than us.
Cheers.

The hotel grounds were beautiful. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The pool was beautifully set into the landscape. we really enjoyed the warm welcome from the lady at reception upon our arrival.
If we had to find fault, I would say we would have liked bathtubs in the rooms. tubs were only available in the suites.
