The hotel is located in a great location, close to Yalla Park. Our room had a beautiful view of the lake. Many thanks to the manager who helped us organize our safari. I want to point out the strange behavior of the ladies at the reception. Not customer-oriented.

Perfect location, not so far to Yala National Park and with a nice lake view.
Amazing swimming pool and English breakfast too.
The rooms are a bit old and not renoviated but the staff there was very amazing and always helpful.
Thank you

Staff was rude. Food was very poor quality and service was slow. It’s location and pool area is decent.
We checked out a day in advance as air conditioner was not proper in the room. Overall a bad experience for us.

The hotel is great, the rooms are big, the hotel is close to the lake, and there is a popular swimming pool. Although the hotel facilities are a bit old, it is very good overall. Knowing that we are going to Yala Park in the morning, they also packed breakfast for us

A relatively good hotel near Yala Park. 30 minutes drive from the park. The room is facing Tissa Lake. The scenery is very beautiful. But the room facilities are really average.

The room is average, but the environment is OK, but the price-performance ratio is average, and the service is also very average. It's okay to sit on the sofa facing the sea, but there are no things to play around

The hotel service is good, and there is a resident singer at the bar in the evening! There was a barbecue in the evening and I grilled a lobster. It didn’t feel fresh. But don’t worry too much about it in Sri Lanka. It can’t be compared with that in China.

The room is very small, there is no hand-held shower head, no hot water, and there are cockroaches in the room🪳 I didn't take any pictures. Anyway, it is the worst hotel of the same type and level in Sri Lanka.

The stay was OK. Considering the 5 stars, it could well be better. Would rather think 4 stars was appropriate.
We had a really bad experience with the staff in the restaurant the first night we had to eat there.
Otherwise the staff was good and friendly.

The hotel is a bit old, but the services, facilities, and scenery are still charming. The lakeside swimming pool is the highlight of this hotel. Looking at the Bird Island opposite is an unforgettable scene.

It's better than the swimming pool facing the lake... The girl at the front desk didn't smile the whole time... I owed her eight tunes of money... I didn't forget to ask for a tip... After entering the room, I didn't leave to wait for the tip. Bad review

The environment is quite good, facing Lake Tissa, you can watch the sunrise and sunset, it's so beautiful. The dinner options are okay, and the breakfast is because we are going to Safari, the hotel thoughtfully packed it for us to take away, the service is very good!

I booked this hotel for the convenience of going on a safari the next day. The decoration style of the hotel is good, and it looks quite gorgeous, but the inside of the room is relatively ordinary. The facilities are very old, and the moisture can't get out after taking a shower. The whole room It is very, very humid (the kind of water flowing down from the reflection on the wall). When eating in the restaurant, there are stray cats begging for food. People immediately lower their heads. The next day, because the safari departed at 5 o'clock, the breakfast packaged by the hotel was relatively simple (not worth the price, it is recommended not to order breakfast). Generally speaking, the price/performance ratio is very low, which is the level of the relatively poor express hotels in China. I booked one month in advance, it seems to cost more than 600, but after check-in, I checked the price on the day and it was only 300
