Capsule Hotels in Central Province

"Lovely beautifully preserved period colonial property. Staff very good. Restaurants excellent - large breakfast buffet, afternoon tea fantastic and had two very good meals at the Indian and Thai restaurants. There is one thing that really lets it down though and that is the loud music played during afternoon tea by a flautist to a backing soundtrack and the live band in the bar at night. In my opinion both overly loud and really impact the ambience. "

"Clean, tastefully decorated room with huge comfortable bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Quiet location for a restful nights sleep. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. "

"The room "

"We booked 3 nights in a deluxe double room - if that was the case I dread to think what their standard rooms were like. Our room was damp and mouldy. Our clothes in the suitcases smelt damp. The room had big cobwebs everywhere. The ceiling fan was filthy. The bathroom had mould and the toilet brush was disgusting. The listing said it had mosquito nets but this was not the case. The menu for dinner was limited with a lot of items unavailable. Breakfast was not good either again limited options and the cooked items were cold. Of course I discussed the room situation with the staff but there wasn’t the option to move. The staff did their best with organising tuk tuks and transfer to Negombo which we were thankful for. We decided to move on a day/night early to get away from the mould and damp. The above makes us sound like divas but that is not the case. We are seasoned travellers and accept that accommodation in the forest/jungle of Sigiriya would not be 5 star especially when they have a lot of rain, but we would like to think the listing on this site would be representative of what we would get. By all accounts there are better places to stay close by, perhaps I didn’t look closely enough. Don’t make the same mistake we did!"

"Room and staff excellent except noise of water pipes surging in Room 202. Could not sleep until it stopped at 11 p.m. but then it started again - a loud surging noise every minute - at 6 a.m. so woke us up. Would not go back again. Manager said it affected 'all rooms' and it required a long-term fix. Said he 'was working on it' (a small compensation gesture?) but nothing happened. Lovely pool but only get 8 people around it."
