    Great family room. Perhaps a bit on the small size if you stay longer as no space to put your clothes but we love the setting of the beds and the view from the mountains. Very nice bathroom and good hot water which has been a luxury in Sri Lanka! Quiet room too. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice of Sri lankan or continental food. Staff was very attentive and ready to help. Great location. Free transfers to the train station.
