Should
anyone
consider
this
hotel
for
a
stay,
then
it
must
be
for
the
location.
Not
for
the
food,
service
or
comfort
of
the
rooms
(even
though
these
were
above
average
for
a
three
start
hotel!)
Went
there
for
one
night
stay,
BB
in
a
weekend
as
a
couple.
Stayed
at
a
Queen
bed,
double
room,
directly
overlooking
the
temple
of
tooth
relic.
(Price
~15K)

Parking:
They
don’t
have
a
separate
parking
space
(obviously,
given
the
prime
location
it’s
situated).
So
they
use
the
City
Parking
Space
nearby.
Leave
the
parking
to
the
valet
so
all
your
troubles
are
taken
care
of.
Parking
fees
are
borne
by
the
hotel
so
nothing
to
worry
on
that
end.
And
the
City
parking
is
open
24/7
and
with
security.
You
can
go
and
check
the
vehicle
if
want.
PS:
There
is
a
small
ally
next
to
hotel,
but
it’s
used
for
taking
in
vehicles
carrying
hotel
supplies
IMO.
*
Rooms:
Old,
hence
very
spacious
compared
to
any
city
hotel
nearby.
Comfortable
and
everything
is
wooden
made!
Every
room
has
private
bathroom
and
AC
that
I’ve
been
told.
You
don’t
need
to
pay
in
advance
if
you
book
the
rooms
directly
from
the
hotel
reception.
Charges
made
at
checking
in.
*
Food:
Average
selection
but
delicious
what
they
serve.
Had
a
cup
of
tea
in
the
evening
at
the
restaurant
and
was
one
of
the
best
tea
had
in
a
while!
*
Service:
Good.
Hotel
is
run
by
state
backed
Ceylon
Hotel
Corporation
so
there
is
much
can
be
done
for
improvement
starting
from
utensils
they
use
to
much
needed
renovations
and
staff
recruitments.
But,
given
the
price
you
pay
and
the
comfort
you
get
due
to
close
proximity
to
everything
you
need
to
get
done
visiting
Kandy,
can’t
complain.
All
in
all,
had
a
wonderful
stay
in
a
colonial
hotel
built
in
1844,
to
a
very
reasonable
price
to
what
it
stand
for!
