We extend our heartfelt gratitude for the commendable and truly exceptional service provided during our stay. It was our wedding anniversary time. Every interaction was warm, friendly, and delivered beyond expectations. The food was outstanding, with rich and flavourful bakery items and beautifully prepared curries that made each meal memorable. Our room allocation and room service were handled with elegance and care. The spacious bathroom, generous amenities, and the breathtaking view added a special touch that we will never forget. Loss property service is admirable. I got my valuable shirt back—honest and True Values at Service by the staff. The evening dinner with our family and friends was wonderfully arranged and thoughtfully catered—an experience we deeply cherished. To Sanath, Janitha, and the entire team: thank you for making our anniversary stay both memorable and heartfelt. A special appreciation also goes out to all service staff, security personnel, and support teams for their exceptional dedication. We are truly grateful and look forward to returning.

Hotel check-in was very nice; we were upgraded to a lake-view room, which was spacious with two double beds. The sunrise in the morning was beautiful, and we could also see the White Pagoda in the distance. Dinner and breakfast were plentiful.

The hotel is situated bordering the Thissa lake with beautiful views of ancient stupas in the horizon. Rooms were large and comfortable but some amenities inside the room could use a few repairs. Overall positive experience and would recommend.
