We really enjoyed our stay here. From arriving, the staff on the front desk and in restaurants were on hand to help every step of the way. Room was really spacious and we loved the balcony overlooking Kandy lake. Pool was small, but good to dip into! Although it was quite chilly. Really great location too. Only thing I would say is housekeeping was quite late in the day!

Lovely hotel set in the hills above the lake, with great views of the surrounding peaks, very comfortable room with a great balcony. There's a rooftop bar and restaurant which was lovely, plus a ground floor bar, restaurant and infinity pool. Breakfast was delicious with great choices and good coffee!

The hotel is quite nice, some of the staff were nice and friendly. But today I had a strange thing happened; ny check-out was midday, I decided to go for a final sightseeing tour. I had my luggage partly packed and I left my items in a certain way and left a do not disturb sign on the door. When I came back i found evidence that someone had been in the room and opened my bags,. I called the reception and they said noone had been in my room. I do not believe this as my things were disturbed. I checked out and left, but will never return to this place. I have traveled to 40 countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels...something was off here. Am not sure whether my race had anything to do with it.
