I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is located right in the center of Matale, surrounded by beautiful scenery. My room had a stunning view and was equipped with modern amenities, making it quite comfortable. However, the dining options could use some improvement, and while the service was decent, it wasn't consistently outstanding. Overall, it feels like good value for the price, but there's some room for improvement in a few areas.
