Deteriorating hotel. Used to be a nice place
I occupied room No. 214. This is my 4th stay during the past 04 years. Beds were terrible. Bed springs were all very loose and saggy and it is more like a hammock. Once you get close to the edge you tend to topple over. Had a narrow shave twice. It leaves you with a terrible back ache in the morning. Toilet was leaking and water from the cistern wets the floor every time the toilet is flushed. They said the ice machine is broken and could not get any ice cubes delivered to the room. I just begin to wonder whether they gave me the worst possible room being a Sri Lankan leaving the better rooms for foreign guests. On previous occasions I can't remember encountering a problem of this nature. Even the quality of food has deteriorated and it is not any better than an average Rest House run by local authorities.

Glimpse of the past
Great value for money. Food and service were very good. Gave us an alternative experience of Sri Lanka. You can't fault it but it is what it is and where it is - so don't expect 5 star luxury and services. Be aware that travelling takes a lot longer than you might think in this whole area.

The only plus point is the heritage tag of the property. This was a good experience from that point. Hotel is well decorated with old memorabilia which gives a look into the past.

Great old style hotel
I loved the place, from the rooms to the restaurant. My only gripe is that you could hear people talking outside your door, so avoid the room at the end of the walkway where people turn left or right. They congregate there to say what they're doing the next day. The bar/pub is so sweet, and the restaurant does great set meals
