The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

I truly enjoyed the variety offered at the hotel's kitchen. The food was not only delicious but also had a comforting home-like quality. I remember having breakfast with their freshly made gluten-free bread each morning, which really catered to my dietary needs. The ambiance also complemented the dining experience perfectly, making every meal a highlight of my stay.

Luxurious Room Features

The Double Room with Terrace I stayed in was stunning! The design was very modern yet cozy, making it feel like a home away from home. It was spacious and had a lovely view that made each morning special. I was fortunate to receive an upgrade, which made my experience even better. The added bidet in the bathroom was a good touch!

Relaxing Spa & Leisure

Although I missed out on using the in-house wellness room, I wish I had booked a massage there instead of going outside. During my stay, I got to relax and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the hotel which made me feel rejuvenated after long explorations. Truly a serene escape for leisure!

Wonderful Media Experience

I loved the vibe in the hotel's rooftop restaurant where I could enjoy amazing views while relaxing with a cocktail. The atmosphere was lively, and I found the selection of music and entertainment provided catered well to a perfect evening. It was unlike any other dining experience I had in Galle.
