    Breakfast was a bit disappointing- food cold heaters seemed to have been switched off and food dried up - hot water for tea not hot either, cornflakes very stale, standard of the food could have been a lot better it was also cleared away before the end of service without informing the guests. Table cloths stained and needed washing. Bed sheets old, holes etc needs new bed linen

    Friendly staff , location and stunning lake views

    The dining area and on the overall a face lift would help! Another drawback was the absence of WiFi in the room: if you want WiFi you have to be near the reception .

    The setting and the swimming pool. The room was large enough but with little storage space; no shelves in the closet! The bathroom was roomy but the shower really small.

    The between the rooms were very thin and could hear people speaking in the next room. The shower was very difficult to open. Had to keep the shower going for over seven minutes before the water got warm. Then when showering the water went cold after five minutes. No A/C in dining room. Went for dinner at 8 pm and dining area was in the dark. We had to ask for the fans to be switched on. Table service was very poor.

    The entrance and reception was beautiful and welcoming. The food buffet was good.

    Food selection during the breakfast buffet (on the second morning when the hotel wasn’t very busy). Having said this, we requested some items from the kitchen and they were provided.

    Staff were extremely nice, the room was really spacious for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids). Great location for a day visit to polonnaruwa.

    Barmen extremely slow and unprofessional. Food at the buffet always cold and too spicy for European taste, sometimes we also suspected no fresh food. Room clean but oldish that need renovation and matelas to change. shower tub too small and not enough pressure at the shower jet. Rooms are not soundproof and you eat neighbourhood or people passing front of your door as they were in your room.

    This is a nice hotel with beautiful garden and swimming pool but needs some rooms renovations.

    The level of the hotel is not so good. It looks like a 3 stars hotel, with cleanliness to be improved. Still ok but a bit expensive for what it is.

    The view is nice, just on the lake.
