Das Personal war sehr nett, die Lage und die Aussicht ist schön Schönes Restaurant

- Zimmer bei Direktbuchung 70 Dollar via Booking 50, auch das ist völlig überteuert - Laufende Renovierungsarbeiten, daher überall Lärm und Dreck - Zimmer katastrophal, ohne Komfort mit überall verschmutzten Wänden und Ameisenplage Die Türen und Fenster sollten dringend erneuert werden, kein Schallschutz sehr viel Lärm, jeder Schritt im Gang kann gehört werden - Im Zimmer kein WLAN auch ansonsten überall kaum Connection - dringende Renovierung des gesamten Hauses erforderlich

Activity break for a couple

8.0

Easy access to all the activities🥰 We found rafting, bike tours and bird watching in the area very easily. The staff were exceptional. They even tried to book train tickets and taxies for us. We requested a different room and they sorted it out. They made a great effort to make us comfortable and did a special surprise cake for our anniversary. The food was tasty and had a variety.

The hotel was a bit dated and doing renovations at the moment. It says online that hotel can arrange activities but we were asked to check online and arrange our own activities.

Old hotel but amazing view right on the river.

8.0

It’s an old property not to latest standards but I think this is the best place to stay for an amazing experience and having the best view on the river. The staff was very welcoming and sooo helpful. They even served the welcome drinks served us the dinner even we were very late. Munasinghe & Stefani we very helpful. They kept the rooms super clean and maintained before we arrived. Honeslty we thought it was a bad choice but very nice experience and amazing helpful staff. It has the best view in such cheap price. It’s totally worth it.

It’s old but sometimes it good to enjoy the old feeling.
