We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. Originally a booking for 2 nights, they made sure we could stay in the same room. Clean and convenient. Good breakfast or breakfast packs on the go. Extremely helpful and friendly staff, always looking after us.

Wonderful, kind and helpful host, who arranged trips for us at very resonable prices. Accomodation is basic but very clean and comfortable. We had a little sun room on the side of our room which was lovely to sit in and drink tea.

Wonderful Service
Amazing place, fantastic service, kind people. Our stay was our favorite in Sri Lanka because the staff was so kind to us. My husband I were not well when we arrived and they took such good care us, sent us to the doctor, asked about our health everyday and very sweetly packed us a breakfast to go on our very early morning train. We will stay here any time we come back! Also loved the abundance of hot water and lovely shower pressure. Sometimes those little things make such a difference!

Cozy and spacious rooms that give off a cottage vibe. Located in the city, within walking distance from Victoria Park and different dining options. Breakfast was provided, and the staff were very friendly and eager to help.

We stayed one night, and would recommend it! The hotel staff is extremely nice and helpful. It’s close to the main roads where you can find good restaurants and shopping within a walk. We didn’t get to do a whole lot but there was a lot of sites to visit.

Home away from home
Location was about 1km away from the city centre where food and shops can be found. You can easily take a tuktuk there! The hosts were really friendly and the room was great! Floor was carpeted and their fleece blankets were thick so it kept us really warm during this cold period (about 12-13 degrees). The TV had many channels like sports channels, animal planet, discovery channel and etc. We could even watch World Cup in the comfort of our rooms! The host even woke up earlier and made us breakfast to take away on our 5am journey to Horton Plains. We are thankful for his sandwiches, bananas, fruit juice drink and water that kept us feeling full and ready for the trek. Thank you for being such great hosts!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very different to the description in their listing
The room was largish and somewhat comfortable but the listing said “balcony or patio with hill views” but the closest it got was a foot-wide ledge outside the window (i.e., I would have to climb out the window) with views only of surrounding hotels. The listing said “day bed and desk” - there was no desk and only an armchair with an uncomfortably thin seat. It also said “flat-screen TV” but it was an old small TV and even the part of the listing that says “free toiletries” is a lie. Staff didn’t know what I was talking about when I complained and I can’t find any photos online that suggest that any of their rooms match their description. The bathroom was alright except for a very narrow shower stream and a broken toilet seat. The wifi was fast and reliable, so there's that. Breakfast was eggs and fruit - does the job but it’s the most basic hotel breakfast I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Staff were often hard to find. It probably wasn’t the worst hotel I stayed at in Sri Lanka but Carnation Rest is the most out of step with the price and with their advertising.
