The room was rustic, simple but comfortable enough. The staff was friendly and helpful. Location was okay—central area is walkable. For the price, it’s a viable option if you want some comfort and privacy but are tight on budget

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.

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.

The Staff were extremely helpful. We got a pot of coffee and tea upon our arrival. The staff also gave us two umbrellas in case we go out in the city and it starts raining. On the day of the checkout, we requested some to-go breakfast and they happily complied. They packed us extra pair of sandwich and a cup full of fruits and some whole fruits as well. Could not have asked for more. Thank You Carnation Rest

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 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!

10 mins walk to town. Very close to Pizza Hut & Dominos. Dark and gloomy property which appeared not to have received any investment for many years. There were a lot of flies in our room and in the dining room. Laundry was being dried in the dining room.

Minder om en alpehytte. Vi havde en sød karnap hvor vi elskede at sidde. Den bedste bruser i Sri Lanka; masser af varmt vand. Rent.Varme-ovn. Kæmpe stor morgenmad . I gå-afstand til centrum. Utrolig søde mennesker i huset! De er meget gæstfri og hjælpsomme/ servicemindede.

Super petit hôtel

Charmant petit hôtel dans une petite rue. Chambre très confortable, literie impeccable et, cerise sur le gâteau, une couverture moelleuse et chaude. La salle de bain est nickel. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et complet.Le personnel est adorable, aux petits soins. Nous avons été accueillis avec du thé et des petits gâteaux. Grand merci !

Wir haben 2 Nächte in diesem kleinen Hotel übernachtet und waren sehr positiv überrascht. In unseren bislang 4 Unterkünften auf Sri Lanka war dies mit Abstand die Beste. Das Haus wird mit Liebe geführt, es ist sehr schön dekoriert und es gibt überall tolle Pflanzen. Die Lage ist ruhig, aber alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Unser Zimmer war groß und schön, hatte einen kleinen Schrank und einen großen Spiegel sowie genug Ablageflächen, die in anderen Unterkünften häufig nicht vorhanden sind. Das Bad ist sauber, und gibt warmes Wasser. Die Betten waren super bequem, wir hatten in unserem Family Room zwei Doppelbetten und ein Einzelbett. Es gab extra warme Decken und wir haben - trotz kühler Außentemperatur - nicht gefroren. Das WLAN ist super schnell. Zudem war das Frühstück wirklich toll, es gab sowohl Dhal als auch Omelette, frisches Obst, Jogurt und Toast. Am zweiten Morgen gab es statt Dhal Coconut Pancakes ;-). Die Besitzer sind super nett, der Sohn spricht sehr gutes Englisch und hat uns netterweise noch mit seinem Auto zum Busbahnhof gefahren. Wir können die Unterkunft wirklich besten Gewissen weiterempfehlen!
