Good hotel in a good location

This is a nice little hotel in a great location. Our room was large and comfortable. Things were clean and the staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was good. And you have your choice of a western breakfast or a Sri Lankan breakfast.

ペラヘラ祭りの巡行のルートに立地していたため祭り見学には最高のポジションでした。ただ部屋の近くに2階桟敷席があったので夜中まで騒がしい感じでした。(疲れていたので気にせず寝ましたが、、、)ホテルのサジキ席は15000yenと高いので近くの席を10000yenで確保しました。祭り見学には良いホテルでした、スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーでいい感じです。部屋のクオリティーは値段なりのものといったところです。

Unpleasant and disapointing.

Checkin was very disappointing. They made me wait 1 hour: Offered me a coffee which I then was told I had to pay for, to finaly say that my room was not ready. That night the front desk called me in the middle of the night, waking me up, to tell me I had to come pay my coffee (when I tried to pay, they didnt have change and told me to pay later) . There was abaolutely no window to the outside. No hot water in shower. Only a left over toilet paper roll, and very noisy as I could hear conversations in the resraurant bellow. On the positive side, the staff at checkin was nice.

Well located

The hotel is perfectly placed to walk to the temple, lake and market. A 20 min walk of brief tuk tuk ride from the station. Reasonably comfortable bed with a private en-suite. The only issue was that one wall of the room is a floor to ceiling window that looks onto the hallway and lets in light from the hall until it is switched off around 11pm. So maybe ask which rooms might be best if you prefer the dark! Air con very good and warm shower. The food is delicious, both breakfast and dinner. Highly recommend the Sri Lankan breakfast tho you have to book it the day before. Very VERY lovely and helpful staff!

Les chambres 203 et 204 font face à la rue donc un peu bruyante de jour. La bonne nouvelle c'est que le trafic arrête après 19h donc les nuits sont calmes. Le personel est très à l'écoute et serviable.

あまりお勧めしない

全体的にメンテナンスは行き届いていたが、同じホテルの同僚の部屋では雨漏りが発生し、部屋を変える事態となった。また、ドライヤーが常設されておらず困ったのと、朝食が出てくるのが遅かったのは問題。 部屋に窓がないため、湿気がたまっていること、WIFIが弱いことも不快な要因。

Dejligt ophold

Super dejligt ophold. Sødt personale, som hjalp med at booke chauffør til en super pris. God beliggenhed helt i centrum med masser af butikker og kort til templer, søen osv. Der var ret meget larm udenfor vores værelse om morgenen ellers var vores ophold så fint.

Hotel direkt am Zahntempel

Hotel liegt direkt am Zahntempel und am See. Sehr freundliches Personal. Allerdings hatten wir ein Zimmer direkt am Flur und konnten jeden einzelnen Schritt aller Leute, insbesondere Putzleuten ab 6.00h hören. Für Sri Lanka Verhältnisse im Nachhinein etwas zu teuer, aber um erstmal anzukommen war es okay.
