Ceyloni Lake Residency

Beautiful room with two beds and a stunning view of city. Prebhet was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. He arranged a tuk tuk to take us down to the town for dinner and bring us home. The breakfast he made the next morning was delicious and plentiful - fresh fruit juice and fruit, tea and coffee, French toast, eggs and toast and jam. A wonderful stay, we will definitely stay here again!

Granted, Sri Lanka's tourism industry has been hit badly by COVID. Granted that people are finding it hard to run their businesses. But reviews need to present people with a factual and real assessment. So here it is. We reached the vicinity of the hotel (thanks to Google maps), but struggled to find the place as the signage we very poor. People in the vicinity did not know where this hotel was! When we did eventually find the place- it was sad and uninviting. The "reception" was an old desk in a corner of the hall. We were then shown to our room - which was equally sad and depressing. Everything about the room was screaming that it had not been cleaned or maintained for several months. The bathroom was so bad that the entire family decided to skip a shower next morning. The old man who was apparently the manager of the place, made a valiant attempt to rustle up a breakfast next morning. It was decent. Overall, it is not the kind of place you want to stay in when on a vacation...
