Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Close to the ancient Nallur temple (5-min walk), this hotel has a standard essential tropical architecture and amenities. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet, completely vegetarian, was very well prepared, super fresh, and appreciated by my whole family. This isn’t a hotel that’s like a western 5-star and is much simpler as well as quieter, which we appreciated.

The hotel was a little oasis of peace and quiet and the staff were so friendly and helpful, in particular the manager Rajan. The vegetarian Sri Lankan food served in the restaurant was delicious. The pool was a perfect way to cool off. We spent 4 days there and would have happily spent longer.

Pleasant stay in peaceful location

Convenient and clean hotel with comfortable beds and staff who went out of their way to help. Just one downside was that we had to ask to have the room cleaned but don't let that put you off what is a good mid-range option.
