Upon entering the hotel, it immediately felt like a travel agency hotel, as we saw several groups of tour group guests checking in. The hotel's location was fairly good, just a few minutes' walk from the Pink Post Office, and there was a park opposite the hotel, though it seemed closed. About a 20-minute walk from the hotel was a beautiful lake, worth visiting, with a touch of Switzerland. There was a Pizza Hut on the way to the lake where we could eat, and a large horse riding stable nearby. The hotel rooms, while small, were clean and tidy. Our room was on the second floor with the window facing the hotel entrance, where tour buses were constantly picking up and dropping off passengers, resulting in significant noise and exhaust fumes. We couldn't open the window; it only quieted down very late. Because we had to get up early the next day, we didn't have breakfast at the restaurant; the hotel packed it for us, and it was quite tasty. Besides the lake, Pink Post Office, and horse riding stable, there wasn't much else to see around the hotel. The streets felt rather noisy and dirty, not like a typical tourist city.

The scenery nearby is indeed beautiful, with a bit of a British flair. The facilities are a bit old, but they're reasonably well-maintained, within acceptable limits. The breakfast buffet is half Indian-themed. There's also another hotel and an Indian restaurant next door; personally, I can't get used to the taste, but the atmosphere and environment are nice.

The room is large and the furniture is simple. The bed is not very soft, I like this slightly harder mattress. The chef's breakfast and dinner are good and more suitable for Chinese appetite. There are also resident singers for dinner. The hotel is also convenient to Horton Plains, which is about 45 minutes by car.

We arrived at a fully booked hotel. It was terrible. It was mostly Russian package holidaymakers (families or seniors), with very few young people. It's a good thing we only spent two nights there; we wanted to leave the next day.
Breakfast was so crowded that you'd spend five minutes walking around with your plate looking for a free table. The Russians seemed starved, scooping up food and pushing each other.
On the beach, the sun loungers were so close together, it was as if they were lying on top of each other, there was no privacy.
The beach was small, cluttered with boats, the sand was unpleasant, and the bottom was rocky.
The rooftop pool requires a fee if you live below the 9th floor; it's unclear how to get this information when booking.

This was a great location in Polonnaruwa. We loved all the services provided. The hotel had a great garden and I would say this is one of the best hotel gardens ever experienced in Sri Lanka. I specially thank front office  “Hansika” which she was very proactive in helping out, also her wonderful customer service to all of us stayed at the hotel. We also would like to thank “Dilshan” for his services throughout dining. We wish both of these staff very well and hope to come back soon. Also would definitely recommend the place for wonderful stay with fantastic views over Parakrama Samdudraya.
