cleaning staff variability

The terrace suite offered a spacious and clean retreat, while the staff were exceptionally considerate, ensuring our late arrival didn’t go unnoticed by keeping the kitchen open for us. Enjoying breakfast with an expansive menu overlooking the beautiful pool was a highlight, especially with the chef checking in on us. The hotel’s atmosphere, combining history with charm, made it an unforgettable experience. however, some amenities could benefit from modernization to enhance comfort.

Where it excels and where it fails

The service gleamed with kindness. Dilan truly makes you feel at home! The ambiance and history envelop the entire stay, creating an unforgettable experience.

The stairs creak ominously, an unwelcome reminder of the hotel's age! A bit more attention to modern comforts would elevate the experience.

The Loft Suite was truly impressive with its high ceilings and bespoke furniture, giving it an authentic antique charm. The evenings spent at the Ropewalk bar were delightful, sipping cocktails while watching the vibrant street life unfold. The dining experience was exceptional, especially with the fresh local ingredients enhancing every dish we tried.

No significant issues were encountered during the stay.

The pool area and the beautifully restored Dutch architecture were highlights for me! Breakfast was a feast, with tropical fruits and savory Sri Lankan curry. Only downside was the lobby could be a bit stuffy. 🌴
