We stayed here for 2 nights 26-27 Dec). Nicely tucked away near the entrance of the fort and behind the main streets so away from most of the hustle and noise, though still central to the main Fort attractions. It was nice to come back here after walking around the busy streets and exploring, and a luxury having so much space, two bedrooms especially, and the washing machine/dryer. Service from Gihan was also wonderful and a good introduction to the wonderful people in Sri Lanka. Clean and comfortable, spacious and very convenient. ##### Samantha Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cottages Chilton Polden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilton-Polden-Cottages.d3000011962-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Lincolnshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Lincolnshire.d6046222.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Spa Hotels in Batticaloa District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Batticaloa-District-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6353273-tSpaHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Chalets Frinton-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Frinton-On-Sea-Chalets.d182522-aaChalets.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [HOOM Home & Hotel Sollentuna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockholm-Hotels-Hamilton-Apartments-Hotel-Danderyd.h36380296.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Saint-Paul-de-Vence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Paul-De-Vence-Hotels.d5786.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Early Check-in in Northern Ireland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Northern-Ireland-Hotel-With-Early-Check-In.0-0-d11221-thotelwithearlycheckin.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Riverside Hotels in Dorset](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Dorset-Riverside-Hotel.0-0-d6046198-triversidehotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Leamington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leamington-Hotels.d10224.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in New Caledonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-New-Caledonia.d131.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Gidea Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Gidea-Park-Hotel.h4185865.Hotel-Information) > > [Skye House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koggala-Hotels-Skye-House.h14825897.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Volendam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Volendam-Hotels.d5355.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Caselle Torinese (TRN) to Saint-Christophe (AOT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/trn/aot/turin-to-aosta) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Bromley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Bromley.d4355.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Hermosa Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Hermosa-Beach.d8337.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### General > [Visit Kirkcaldy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy.dx55345) > > [Visit Heidelberg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heidelberg.dx6034797) > > [Visit Pearl Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pearl-Islands.dx553248623282268316) ---
