The hotel is beautifully decorated. the staff were very friendly and helpful. I appreciated their effort to reduce plastic use, like water bottles and toiletries. sri lankan breakfast was filling and tasty, a great start to the day.
The ac in my room was not working well. this made for an uncomfortable night. I expect reliable climate control at this price point. i hope the maintenance team can resolve this .
