The hotel offers a beautiful view of the valley and provides enough space for my family of five. The rooms are quite roomy, ensuring everyone is comfortable. However, I faced an awkward situation with a staff member at checkout regarding an extra charge. The location is serene, but accessing some local spots requires a bit of effort. Overall, it's an excellent place for families seeking value for money, despite minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was quite nice overall. The rooms were spacious and offered a lovely view of the valley, which was a plus. However, I did run into a small issue with the service regarding an unexpected charge for a green tea even though breakfast was included. The location was good, close to attractions. While the dining experience was satisfactory, it could use a bit more variety.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which boasts a lovely view of the valley and is spacious enough for my family of five. The staff was friendly, but there was a strange incident at check-out when a receptionist charged us for something included in our stay. The location was particularly convenient, being close to Kandy Lake, but the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, while there were some nice aspects, a few blunders left me wanting more.

This hotel has a lovely view and offers a comfortable stay, especially for families, with spacious rooms. The location is fantastic as it’s close to Kandy Lake and some great local restaurants. However, the service left something to be desired, especially with a charge at checkout that seemed inappropriate considering breakfast was included.

However, the service had a bit of a hiccup when the receptionist unexpectedly asked for money for breakfast items that were supposed to be included, which was quite off-putting.
