"The hotel is well overdue for some investment. A substantial renovation is needed to overcome tired decor, poor en suite and shower, neglected reception area. Really can't recommend. However the saving feature was Sanjeewa, the manager, who impressed us with his professional and courteous approach. He did everything to help in difficult circumstances."
