We liked the old world look, the location, the comfortable room, the common areas, especially the beautiful library. we especially liked the level of service provided by the very attentive staff.

nothing really

Superb experience in a historical hotel. Wonderful staff.

Basic expecting anEnglish breakfast.

Very quaint building but needs a lot of maintenance!

The place was amazing. Really nice staff

Amazing staff and beautiful grounds. The hotel was very historic and interesting

lovely staff very comfortable bed great breakfast

Very enjoyable stay at this Colonial hotel steeped in history. Staff were very attentive with excellent service throughout. Right opposite the golf club so great for golf enthusiasts. We had a fab massage at the Grand hotel next door. Although my husband had slight reservations at first about the formal dinner (Jacket and tie were obligatory but the hotel provided these free of charge) we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the food was excellent.

Very colonial feel. Gives an air of being very smart and exclusive. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful and cared for us extremely well. Beautiful gardens.

Generally rather tired and a bit stuffy.

we loved the fact that the rules hadn’t changed in years. Dressing up for dinner is a lovely tradition to maintain

Nothing

So much character and charm. The service was impeccable. great food. Ideal location. Beautiful grounds.

noting

This hotel is really TOP TOP. The feeling of O' Scottish mansion in the heart of Sri Lanka is unbelievable. Personally I enjoyed also hotel club library w hundred years old books, breakfast, garden, .. I wish to stay there longer and I hope to come back someday.

The history of the place makes it special. Nice rooms, friendly stuff, good food.

Courteous old world staff. Excellent Covid precautions. Staying in a piece of real world history. The club was built in 1876 and you could sense history all around you. The gardens were truly magnificent. Gorgeous location.

Unfortunately, given the age of the property, there were parts of the building and walls that needed some TLC....mould on the walls in corners etc. But minor issue given all the positives.

history service food location

did not care much about reciprocal arrangements with gymkhana club in Delhi

Quirky property with interesting history. Staff are very friendly and passionate. Like stepping back in time!

Basic facilities but very comfortable!

Beautiful large room. Very atmospheric and historic. Grand common rooms such as a reading room, billiards, bar, restaurants. To use the formal restaurant you had to wear smart dress ie jacket and tie for a man. Hot water bottles placed in beds at night. Roaring fire in lounge. Excellent service. Very good breakfast and dinner in restaurant.

A small refrigerator needed in the room. It is very expensive and you are paying quite a lot for an experience of the past.

History and tradition are alive and well in this lovely old colonial retreat. The formal dining was fun and the staff were mot attentive and helpful.

I liked my double bed and hot water bottle but the space between the end of the bed and the fireplace was quite small. There were bigger rooms I noted but were probably allocated to couples. Such is life for the single traveller.

Proper old school and quirky: rather a luxury boarding school. Great location and very comfortable rooms. Recommend making friends with Croos who is an excellent barman who now know how to make Springboks.
