Very friendly staff who helped us with all our transport needs. The room was spacious and kept clean. Breaakfast was either buffet or served at table depending on how many people were staying at the hotel. There was a nice pool. The hotèl is up a steep hill but we knew about this, so didn't find it a problem, but you can always get a tuk tuk. Ideal for access to the lake and centre of town.

This hotel offers the best value for money. The location is located directly off the busy street of handy, in fact, you are in the center of the city, but you can still enjoy nature from here. It is simple to see wild animals on the balcony of each of the rooms! The room was very clean and comfy with everything you need, besides that the owner is the sweetest person you can ever meet. Definitely one of the best locations to be in handy due to its overall quality at a very affordable price.

Accueil très sympa petit déjeuner très très très copieux. Le réceptionniste prashanthan était très sympa et a fait beaucoup d'efforts pour nous parler. Les chambres sont confortables. L'hôtel reçoit malheureusement comme tous les hôtels au Sri Lanka très très peu de monde à cause du COvid

A 200m walk to Kandy's central lake this was an ideal base to explore the city and the region.

Good location beside the lake, 5 minutes walk and 20 minutes walk from the handy town. The staff is very helpful, everything is perfect and we love the hotel. The main highlight is the view of the hotel.

When coming to this location, I strongly advise all visitors to stay at this hotel. Because the view is amazing and the surrounding area is extremely peaceful. I visited with my boyfriend, and we were planning to do something interesting, so the hotel took us on sightseeing tours to salad maligawa, a handy royal botanic garden, etc. We asked the receptionist about the honeymoon package, and they said they also offer it for all ages and guests.

This hotel is strategically located in the city of ella. The price was fair and the staff were friendly. We only stayed for one night and stayed for a short time.

It took an hour for the manager to change the bed covers, pillow covers, and blankets. The room was not cleaned after the previous guest had left. There are small insects in the bathroom and wash basin. The bathroom has a bad smell. The next morning, the hot water stopped coming. They cited a technical issue. We requested separate hot water in a bucket, it took 20 minutes to provide the water, but it was in small buckets and nothing to pour the water, it was strange how the manager could not figure or anticipate our requirement. Everything we requested took 2030 minutes with only 3 guests in the hotel. Overall, it wasnt a good experience. Not worth the money and hygiene that are essential. The location is good, but if you havent booked breakfast or dinner with them, there are no restaurants nearby.

Hotel was comfortable, safe, and they had onsite driver accommodations (apparently a thing in Sri Lanka). We didn't get to stay here long enough, and there was a festival that made the streets incredibly crowded. I wish we had the chance to explore the area more, however we made our way down (per the hotel's recommendation) to dinner at Hideout Lounge, and then back to the hotel. The pool is small and we weren't enticed to use it. Breakfast in the morning is offered as a buffet with plenty of options. I would recommend staying here if you need amenities (such as a shampoo, showergel, and a concierge). Unfortunately, due to the festival and the crowded streets, we couldn't even tell how close we really were to the sacred tooth, or other dining/shopping options. I'm sure under normal circumstances it would have been easier to get a tuktuk or even a car to drive you down into the town.

The room is really clean and comfortable, with good AC and a great shower. But it's a little far outside of the center, which makes going out late at night a bigger hassle.

I only stayed here for one night, but I enjoyed my stay. I was given a room on the top floor (I don't know if I was given a free upgrade or not, but it was a nice room) and so it had decent views of the valley area there from the balcony. The room had A/C, tv with cable, a ceiling fan and a hair dryer, shampoo & conditioner...so it had all the room amenities you'd need. The room didn't include breakfast as many places here usually do, but that's ok. The shower was leaky in that it let water out all over the floor despite the shower door being closed, so there was a big puddle I walked out to. I ended up throwing all the towels on the floor to soak it up. The hotel is on a steep winding incline atop its own mini hill. It's not especially close to town center, though it is walkable in 20-30 minutes. It's a bit closer to the Sacred Tooth Temple. The front desk and management were very friendly and helpful. The one weird thing about being on the top floor (and it's a walk up...no elevator) is that the floor was basically two guest rooms and these offices built out into its sort of lobby (photos attached). It's just odd to know you're walking out of your room into an office environment. But it was a good place to stay.

キャンディ湖の近くで、少し上り坂を登り行くと、かわいい数部屋のサイズのホテルがあります。部屋は清潔感があり、部屋からはキャンディの周りの山々や、テニスコート、湖も少し見えます。朝食の種類は少しビュッフェというには少なかったですが、全般的に親切なスタッフのみなさんによくしていただきました。朝は通勤時間や投稿時間もあり、少し道路が賑やかですが、仏歯寺の裏側などをお散歩するとよいかもしれません。また近くには女子学校があり、白い制服をきたかわいい子どもたちを見ることができますよ。 It was good view hotel and all staffs were very kind for us. The room was clean. We enjoyed comfortable 2days at this Hotel. Near the hotel, girls' school is there, and can see cute Sri Lankan white uniform students!

The hotel is located in the center of town. We enjoy this comfortable stay and recommend this to anyone. Definitely worth the price.

The manager was very friendly and enjoyed a long conversation with him. Only down side was that when i booked the hotel on expedia.com it said complimentary breakfast was included but disappointingly was told by hotel it isn't and that they got it wrong?! Also because i didn't have a printout of my booking and and had an email to show they couldn't do anything :(

This is my second visit to the facility. Food choices were basic, would not plan on eating there due to limited menu. Food itself tasted basic, nothing to write home about. Room and bathroom was clean, the A/C unit leaked water to the floor on my 2nd day. Location is good. This should be a 3 star facility, not 4.

overall, it was a decent stay. I was disappointed with how crammed the room was. just not enough space to feel comfortable. you would easily run into a piece of furniture if you weren't very careful. the view is nice but unremarkable. the best thing about the room was the bathroom. new fittings, clean, well appointed. oh, there is no elevator, by the way. the service was decent and the people were nice.
