Wonderful, kind and helpful host, who arranged trips for us at very resonable prices. Accomodation is basic but very clean and comfortable. We had a little sun room on the side of our room which was lovely to sit in and drink tea.

The Staff were extremely helpful. We got a pot of coffee and tea upon our arrival. The staff also gave us two umbrellas in case we go out in the city and it starts raining. On the day of the checkout, we requested some to-go breakfast and they happily complied. They packed us extra pair of sandwich and a cup full of fruits and some whole fruits as well. Could not have asked for more. Thank You Carnation Rest

Wonderful Service

Amazing place, fantastic service, kind people. Our stay was our favorite in Sri Lanka because the staff was so kind to us. My husband I were not well when we arrived and they took such good care us, sent us to the doctor, asked about our health everyday and very sweetly packed us a breakfast to go on our very early morning train. We will stay here any time we come back! Also loved the abundance of hot water and lovely shower pressure. Sometimes those little things make such a difference!

10 mins walk to town. Very close to Pizza Hut & Dominos. Dark and gloomy property which appeared not to have received any investment for many years. There were a lot of flies in our room and in the dining room. Laundry was being dried in the dining room.

Minder om en alpehytte. Vi havde en sød karnap hvor vi elskede at sidde. Den bedste bruser i Sri Lanka; masser af varmt vand. Rent.Varme-ovn. Kæmpe stor morgenmad . I gå-afstand til centrum. Utrolig søde mennesker i huset! De er meget gæstfri og hjælpsomme/ servicemindede.

Super petit hôtel

Charmant petit hôtel dans une petite rue. Chambre très confortable, literie impeccable et, cerise sur le gâteau, une couverture moelleuse et chaude. La salle de bain est nickel. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et complet.Le personnel est adorable, aux petits soins. Nous avons été accueillis avec du thé et des petits gâteaux. Grand merci !
