Beautiful hotel located in a green garden with palms and leafy trees. Very quiet place, rooms are far from the road. The main noisemakers are chipmunks jumping on the roofs and munching on your fruits if you accidentally left it outside.
Once I had a dinner there and I enjoyed the food. The hotel staff is extremely polite and helpful. I didn’t expect my calls will be answered at 4am when I arrived. However the hotel manager Jude was waiting for me and escorted me to my room. He also helped me with my PCR to travel back to Dubai. Water Anuradhapura greeted us every morning for breakfast, and Sanjula was helpful not only with the meal choice, but also he helped me to decide which beach do I go first and how do I get there. Overall, very much recommended!

This is an amazingly atmospheric place, which feels like an oasis compared to the beachfront places with their noisy crowded streets. And the food is really excellent. A great value.

Excellent peaceful hotel in great location. Friendly helpful staff, surrounded in wonderful grounds. The old Dutch feel is throughout the whole complex and adds to the ‘vintage’ atmosphere of the place . I would say this is the best hotel in the area , and very reasonably priced . In the older rooms , the bathrooms could do with upgrading though

Lovely staff, beautiful historic building, garden and wildlife were fascinating, pool was a great facility, and easy walk and connections to town, beach and Galle.
A La Carte menu was rather limited, but I guess a lot of people go out to eat. Special set menu on our first night (of 3) was excellent, though.

We stayed here for a couple of nights near the end of August and initially our room had quite a bad damp smell. They offered us as change of room which was much fresher and couldn't do enough to assist us throughout our stay. It is in the most beautiful idyllic setting and the pool is awesome. Thoroughly recommend this stay and a massive thanks to all the friendly helpful staff. Luke and Hannah

Beautiful property set in ground with wild life around, monitor lizard, monkeys, mongoose and different species of birds. 5 minute walk away from beach and restaurants.

The hotel staff were very friendly and the outside area (pools, sitting areas and tables) were also nice! We were initially in an older room and it was horrible due to the bugs. The bathroom had lots of openings which allowed 5 large cockroaches into our room, it was disgusting. The room had many holes so bugs easily got into our room, which made the stay uncomfortable. They moved us to another room the second night which was still one of the older rooms but was a bit better. Still many holes in the foundation which allowed for bugs. I would ONLY recommend staying in one of the newer rooms. Would NOT recommend staying in the older rooms, they look nothing like the pictures.

It was a surprise to find that most of the other guests were Danish - there is a special arrangement with a Danish travel company. The location was good, very quiet at night but just a short walk from the beach. The swimming pool was great. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I ate dinner almost every evening because the food was excellent and there was a good variety.

Beautiful greenery, very peaceful away from city noise. Service is old fashioned and won't take much for staff to receive more training and to exude warmth and friendliness.

This hotel as a decent location.. you will need a tuk tuk to get to the main city (around 10 mins). Hotel is old but clean... friendly staff and okay breakfast. Nice pool!
The only problem was ants... a lot of ants IN the room. They should really try and fix that.

We stayed here as a little treat during our travels. The room was lovely and clean, and the pool was great. Most of the staff were really friendly apart from the 2 ladies at reception who just seemed a bit miserable and busy playing on their phones. The breakfast was also really good.. lots of choice and with new things everyday.

Although this hotel milks its "heritage" label to the hilt, the product does not convey such an impression. Lots of ants and other insects have easy access to the room and we had to throw out some food that was infested. The friendly staff do not have good English language skills and many of our food requests were incorrectly interpreted. Small touches, such as hand towels or face cloths need to be added.

Et fantastisk beliggende lille hotel, men en have fuld af dyr, lige udenfor i haven, der var det, der var behov for ellers købte vi det i de små lokale butikker, ikke et luksus hotel, men lige et i vores smag, vi spise morgenmad på hotellet, og aftensmaden, blev indtaget i nogle af de mange restauranter der var i området.

Helt ok hotell. Vi bodde i den äldre delen av hotellet. En del myror och insekter kom in i rummet,ok för oss. Men är man rädd för små kryp så boka de lite dyrare rummen på den nybyggda delen. Bra frukost. Vi är veganer och det fanns alltid något till oss. Tre sorters frukt varje dag.
Trädgården är fin men kunde vara mycket finare om den var lite bättre omhändertagen. Personalen hann inte städa undan alla löv som föll ned. Vi såg apor,ödlor och en fina fåglar i trädgården.
Nära till stranden. Ca 10 min promenad. Restaurangen hade fin mat,dock lite dyrare än andra restauranger i området.

Vi hade 4 fantastiska dagar på detta hotell. Vi var så glada i hotellet så vi inte ens hängde på stranden en enda gång under dessa dagar. Poolen och trädgården var heeeelt fantastiska. Bland de finaste trädgårdarna jag sett! Poolen var lång och lugnt med människor.
Personalen var exceptionell, man kände sig verkligen som en del av en familj. De hade grym massage och ayurveda konsultation.
Vi bodde i det billigaste rummet som var något litet och sängen var lite hård men helhetsupplevelsen av hotellet vägde upp mot det.
Kan verkligen rekommendera detta hotell :)
