The room was pretty dated. the air conditioning didn't really worked, and it was loud all night. also, the bathroom wasn't great. The shower head sprayed everywhere, and the towels smelled kinda funny.

charming colonial stay

colonial styleexcellent locationhelpful staffloud air conditioning
I admired the premises for keeping the original colonial style. The location is excellent, near the lake. A walk to a Buddhist temple takes only about 20 minutes. When you enter the building, you feel removed from the bustle of the town. The hotel staff were helpful, offering quick assistance with any request.
The air conditioning unit was loud. It made it difficult to sleep comfortably.

The pool has scenic lake views and provides a relaxing atmosphere, though i noticed some wear. It could use minor updates. I saw a billiard table. It is available for guest use.

The hotel is beside the lake, offering nice views. The railway station is near. A short drive gets you there. The hotel is somewhat removed from the city's immediate activity, so it provides a quieter setting.

Breakfast had varied choices, including Sri Lankan dishes. I found vegetarian options available. The dining area offered ample space. It was convenient for large groups. The food was delicious and well-prepared.

The room was spacious. i found the swimming pool large. It allowed for doing laps. breakfast included tea.
Check-in felt shambolic. later, they wanted to take payment twice because the card machine was out of paper. rooms appear worn, suggesting the need for a refurbishment.
