A homely property with an old world charm
9.0The location was a big plus. A hotel with an old world charm, Gimanhala felt like a home away from home, however cliche it may sound.
− Such a lovely property needs a tad better maintenance.
Don’t stay like this hotel
1.0Nothing to like
− We are very disappointed with this hotel and would not recommend anyone to stay here. The room and bathroom were extremely dirty — completely unsuitable for guests. The photos shown online are misleading; they look good, but the reality is very bad The room was too small and in poor condition. The floor was full of hair, the pillows and bed sheets were used and not clean, and the curtains and windows had never been cleaned. The bathroom was shocking — the commode was so dirty it made us feel sick. 🤮 This is the first time we have ever seen such a bad hotel. Totally unacceptable.

A Heritage Hidden Gem with the Best Food
10.0Don’t let the central city location fool you! You would never imagine such a peaceful, lush environment existed right in the heart of the city. As soon as you walk in, the ambience shifts into a serene, heritage-style escape. The food was, hands down, the best we have had so far in Sri Lanka—absolutely delicious and authentic. The staff were wonderful and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. To top it off, the rooms were incredibly comfy and provided the perfect rest after a day of exploring. A true oasis!
− Nothing at all—it exceeded our expectations!
