    The savory breakfast on the terrace was delightful. The hotel's fantastic location near the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage Zoo was a major plus. Being by the river and elephants, as well as having a convenience store and an "ayurvedic garden" nearby, made this hotel's location perfect.

    The breakfast was savoury and local with rice, paying attention to little details.

    I had an amazing experience at a lovely place to stay. My room had a little balcony overlooking the river where the elephants come to bathe. The breakfast was delicious and the amount of food they offered was impressive. The staff were friendly and the service was first-class. I would highly recommend this hotel.

    This hotel offers excellent value for money. The prices are affordable and reasonable, especially considering the amazing location right in front of the river where the elephants come to bathe. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms and a terrace that provides a good view of the river. The staff is friendly, attentive, and provides basic amenities to ensure a pleasant stay. The highlight of the hotel is the breakfast, which can be enjoyed with a fantastic view of the bathing elephants in the river.

    No improvements needed, everything was perfect.

    The hotel is situated right by the riverside, offering a stunning view of the elephants bathing in the river. The rooms are comfortable and have the necessary amenities, including AC. The breakfast is served with a view over the river, allowing you to enjoy the elephant show while starting your day.

    All was fine, nothing to complain about.

    Enjoyed the complementary breakfast buffet with a wide variety of options to choose from. Great location to observe local wildlife. Also appreciated the complimentary extended checkout time, which made it easier to enjoy the area without worrying about storing luggage.

    The language barrier with the staff made some communications difficult, but they were still helpful. be aware that the local elephant "orphanage" may not meet everyone's ethical standards and that lunch options were limited and overpriced.

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel by the riverside. The location was perfect as it offered a nice view of the elephants bathing in the river. The room had a good view too, allowing me to enjoy the elephant show right from my balcony. The staff were attentive and the breakfast served had a delightful view of the swimming elephants.

    Everything was great, no improvements needed.

    Spent xmas in a beautiful hotel and it was a great experience. The breakfast served in front of our room with the view over the river was amazing. We were picked up by the taxi arranged by the hotel and the driver was really nice. , the location of the hotel was perfect with the elephants just a short walk away.

    We had an amazing time at the hotel right next to the river where the elephants come for a bath. The location was perfect as we could easily watch the elephants in the morning while enjoying a delicious breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable with good facilities.

    Not obvious to find without prior research.

    We enjoyed watching the elephants bathe in the river, as the hotel is located right by the waterfront. Our room had a spacious balcony with a good view of the bathing area. The staff was friendly and arranged transportation for us.

    The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired and the furniture in the room was quite old and worn out.
