Relativtly expensive, hence expected a decent standard, but the hotel didnt even have a minimum proper facilities to justify the cost. Bad/old towels No soap No water bottles A/C didn't work well in some rooms Remote controls were missing Rust doors in the bathroom (was not possible to get out if/when closed from in side) Clogged drainage Strong smell from the washrooms Broken closet seats Broken tap Breakfast is minimum Bugs in the pool Overall the the hotel is result of a poor maintainance and lack of knowledge of hotel management. However the service people tried to do their best. Due to late arrivel after a long drive we had no option than staying there. ##### BalaChandra Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian Bruno 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Christian Bruno Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosita 11 Jul 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E1A184C1DACCE03514040FACD675F588970FB10C1720663203591.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rosita Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cardamon Hotel Nilaveli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nilaveli-Hotels-Cardamon-Hotel-Nilaveli.h35151335.Hotel-Information) > > [Anukama Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nilaveli-Hotels-Anukama-Resort.h103492324.Hotel-Information) > > [Jie Jie Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panadura-Hotels-Jie-Jie-Beach-By-Jetwing.h15440520.Hotel-Information) > > [Sooriya Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rekawa-Hotels-Sooriya-Resort-Spa.h19652001.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Pasikuda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Sunrise-By-Jetwing.h14814270.Hotel-Information) > > [Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Maalu-Maalu-Resort-Spa.h6504916.Hotel-Information) > > [Kethaka Aga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Kethaka-Aga.h22876073.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Heaven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-Mountain-Heaven.h11741687.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandara Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Mandara-Resort.h7685897.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-OZO-Kandy-Sri-Lanka.h10442617.Hotel-Information) > > [Gabaa Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Habarana-Hotels-Gabaa-Resort-Spa.h95293327.Hotel-Information) > > [Talalla Bay Beach House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Talalla-Hotels-Talalla-Bay-Beach-House.h12686846.Hotel-Information) > > [Amanda Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valachchenai-Hotels-Amanda-Beach-Resort.h38257273.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villas Wadduwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-The-Villas-Wadduwa.h21399796.Hotel-Information) > > [Leopard Safaris Yala ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kataragama-Hotels-Leopard-Safaris-By-KK-Collection.h50636592.Hotel-Information) > > [Turtle Paradise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rekawa-Hotels-Turtle-Paradise.h22574689.Hotel-Information) > > [Camellia Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatton-Hotels-Camellia-Hills.h48393070.Hotel-Information) > > [North Gate Jaffna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaffna-Hotels-North-Gate-By-Jetwing.h22276412.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunshine Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Sunshine-Resort-And-Spa.h95043877.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > > [Xavier's Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwara-Eliya-Hotels-The-Cottage-By-Jetwing.h12483826.Hotel-Information) > > [Roo Mansala Boutique Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Roo-Mansala-Boutique-Villas.h23204786.Hotel-Information) > > [Uppuveli Beach by DSK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trincomalee-Hotels-Uppuveli-Beach-By-DSK.h107128771.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Waters Arugambay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Blue-Waters-Arugambay.h35192856.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Nilaveli by ICC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nilaveli-Hotels-Ocean-Front-Condos.h35766159.Hotel-Information) > > [Oreeka - Katunayake Airport Transit Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Oreeka-Hotel-Complimentary-Airport-Transfer.h14687310.Hotel-Information) > > [Talalla Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Talalla-Hotels-Talalla-Retreat.h7088443.Hotel-Information) > > [Uga Bay - Pasikuda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Uga-Bay-By-Uga-Escapes.h7760824.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) ---
