“Exceptional Service and a Truly Enjoyable Stay”
We were really impressed by how attentive and helpful the staff were – they went out of their way to make our stay super comfortable. The rooms and common areas were spotless, which made everything feel so nice and fresh. The food was amazing too – delicious, nicely presented, and with plenty of variety for everyone. Special thanks to the manager, Miss Chathuri, and all the supporting staff for providing us with such an amazing service. Overall, it was a great mix of friendly service, cleanliness, and tasty meals.

“I strongly recommend.”
They care about guests from arrive to check-out in every single thing. Beatiful place with very kind people. And the price was not high.

“Top notch accommodation!”
Fantastic place. Huge room, very clean. TV with cable channels and very helpful staff. Swimming pool just outside the room was an absolute bonus. Had a meal delivered to room and it was beautiful- they even gave me a free bowl of soup. Thoroughly recommend!

Very nice hotel. Beautiful room on a big swimming pool where it was so nice to relax in the evening after a very hot day (and in the early morning). Very friendly and professional staff. Very good food and beautiful breakfast very well presented. The service of a "grand hôtel".
