Several safety issues

Local tuk-tuk drivers had difficulty finding this hotel which is off the beaten track. Although the address is Riverside Gardens there is scant evidence of a river, hidden as it is by very heavy, lush foliage, so the “river view” is a bit of a stretch. We could see no evidence of a garden. We stayed two nights, during which time we saw only one person in charge of running the hotel; this was Tharaka,who told me the hotel had undergone a renovation 2 years previously; we were surprised by this as it was still unfinished and had several safety issues, not least of which were all the exposed electricity cables in bedrooms, bathrooms and upstairs landing. Plugging the hairdryer in caused all the fuses to blow! Tharak told me he stays overnight maybe twice a week – on other nights the front door is locked – so no escape for guests if an emergency arises. This is not good. Breakfast was very good, but there is no chance of an evening meal and no restaurants within walking distance. On our last morning an incident occurred when some of our money went missing – it was recovered, and I'm not going to say anything else other than we know the culprit, and when the theft (and recovery) occurred, so all I will say is keep your money with you!

Great Property

Great stay in new property. Quiet location. Room was spotlessly clean, was great to have a fridge , wifi and a/c. Hosts were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. Short walk to main road where we caught a local bus into Kandy (less than 20 Rupees) and only 300 Rupees for tuk tuk back later that night. Only negative was water pressure in the shower and also extremely hard to regulate temperature. Overall great value for money and would highly recommend staying at this property.
