Pros (+) We arrived late but were able to order dinner at the hotel. The room was very spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Cons (-) The hotel was the most expensive that we stayed in during our stay in Sri Lanka but the least impressive in terms of design and feel. I think it is a bit over priced but then we struggled to find better in Kandy.

Pros (+) Staff were nice!
Cons (-) Not sure how this is a 5 star hotel. It’s old and drab. The room had stains over the chairs and bedsheets. The carpets in the hallways look like they are from the 80s.

Cons (-) On arrival, my friend filled out a form at the request of the staff. There was an allergy section where my friend wrote that he was allergic to onions. We informed the staff when we ordered, but he still received two courses with onions in them. However, he did get refunded for the dishes that contained onions. The following night, the exact same thing happened; it was the same staff serving us, a...
