The location of the hotel was good, the reception was very helpful and Harshana was very polite with our luggage and arranged us a late check out without any hassles. The room had a balcony and kitchen amenities so you could fix your own food there as well. Good showers and big spacious room too.

Great and central location to where we were attending. Good value for money. It is a little tired and needs a little work ie water damage to bathroom door which makes it very difficult to open, dishwasher a little bit falling apart. Staff were very obliging, friendly and helpful. Would stay again

Good location and spacious rooms, with a wide range of facilities including a dishwasher and washing machine. The beds were clean, but the room itself was not very clean, so if you’re looking for a spotless place, this may not be the best choice. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The first room we were in had a moldy smell, a lopsided fridge, a dirty terrace and several pieces of broken or missing furniture. We were asked to be moved to a different room and we're. While the room didn't smell and the fridge want lopsided, there was still broken or missing furniture
