Guests consistently praise the stunning views of Little Adam's Peak and Ella Rock from the spacious rooms, some of which feature unique elements like a bed that rolls onto the balcony. The food is generally well-received, especially the breakfast spread, though some found the restaurant options just ok. The location is ideal for hiking, particularly to Little Adam's Peak, though the path can get busy.

The restaurant offered delicious food and the service was perfect. the accommodation was very clean and modern. the staff was kind and helpful throughout my stay. i especially enjoyed the sri lankan food experience. The server explained each dish's story.
The hotel lacked air conditioning. Only a fan was available. it got hot, so i felt grossly uncomfortable. there were bugs everywhere since it is in the hills.

great trek local fauna hot drinks false advertising mosquito presence poor blinds
I participated in the trek on section 15 of the Pekoe trail, up and around a local peak, with Gayasha. She knew a lot about the area, including the fauna, butterflies, and birds. I also enjoyed the hot drinks provided.
I felt there was no value for money here. The hotel seemed overpriced for what it offered. I also think the photos online did not match the actual room. The room I got looked different from the pictures shown.
