Ratnaloka

I have been going to this hotel for years, and it gets worse and worse. The setting is magnificent, and the rooms are different, some perfect and others with mold on the walls etc... The staff is particularly pleasant and very helpful, as well as the receptionist. As for the manager, that's another story. In short, if you want to have poor wifi, no hot water and no pressure for €50, you will be delighted. Otherwise move on. I forgot, the swimming pool is either empty or green due to lack of maintenance. 10 stays made in this hotel for my work. But never again.

I went here with few of my friends for our office trip. The place was poorly managed and the most of locks in the doors are not working and when we asked about it from reception they said that's how they are. Also the lunch was good but the breakfast and the dinner was not good, the tea they gave was mostly water. The pool haven't being cleaned for days. Wash room was not clean as well. Definitely not a place to visit.

We stayed here on our first night in Sri Lanka. Slightly strange as we seemed to be the only guests (they had an event on that day it seems so weren’t accepting bookings - perhaps they forgot this when we booked?). The rooms were adequate - quite large and comfy beds. The whole place is slightly run down but that adds to the charm. The pool was good. Again, 15-20 years ago would have been fantastic but was showing its age now. The food was fantastic though. Evening curry was delicious and breakfast was great. As a place to stay for a stopover, this is an ideal hotel.
