Una de las peores experiencias de mi vida

Nada

Considero que este alojamiento es pésimo. Nada más llegar el señor de recepción nos pidió más dinero del que correspondía y al negarnos nos trató con malas formas, sumado a gestos y comentarios muy desafortunados que nos hicieron sentir inseguras (viajábamos dos chicas solas). Además, la habitación no se correspondía en absoluto con las fotos. Por todo ello decidimos abandonar el alojamiento y no dormir allí, ya que no correspondía con lo que habíamos reservado. Teníamos razón, y ni si quiera quiso anularnos la reserva. Una auténtica vergüenza. No recomiendo a nadie este establecimiento, y por desgracia menos si viajan chicas solas.

Zeer goed en net hotel, aanrader.

Alles ziet er prachtig uit en is zeer schoon. Het is een oud pand wat een half jaar geleden gerenoveerd is. Heerlijk bed en fijn dekbed. Wij vonden het prima te lopen naar de stad, via het voetpad.

Lovely hotel and staff

Good sized room with big bed. The shower was both hot and powerful. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Good breakfast. Overall the property was very good value compared to other hotels we have stayed in, in the same price bracket.

Uitstekende ervaring

Excellent personneel! Uitstekende service . Hotel heel rustig gelegen. We wrden echt ontvangen qlsof we thuis kwamen. Iemand van het personeel vroeg zelfs of we een curry take out wilden als avondmaal om in het hotel op te eten. We werden uitermate goed ontvangen

Overall a very comfortable stay

Fantastic modern bathroom , really comfy bed and good quality bedding , towels. Clean and well kept throughout the hotel

The bedroom itself was a little underwhelming for the price( bathroom was a whole level above ) and the location has a lot to be desired , up a back street with very little around for food etc

very nice experience and plan to come back sometime in the future.

I have stayed in the Barnsbury House for two nights and I really enjoyed my stay here - like my warm home. The staff here are very friendly and helpful, giving me a lot of traveling tips. I enjoyed the talk with them. The breakfast is also very delicious. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Nuwara Eriya :)

Good stay

The staff was really nice and helpful, they picked us from the train station and were really considerate.

The location is ok but really not in the center and the house is ok but a bit old, it's not amazing comfort. I guess you could say it's ok for the price.

Clean rooms and a nice view

The hosts were helpful and assisted us with ordering some pizza. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The common area had a beautiful view of the lake and it was only a short walk away.

The rooms were not soundproof and we had some pigeons outside that woke us up at 6 am. The wifi was slow and the water pressure and temperature was inconsistent.

The staff was great, very attentive. Rinosh showed me beautiful places on his tuk tuk and was super patient and friendly. Highly recommended!

Just notice you need to inform them about your arrival time especially if you come in the morning

Good stay. But some thing Booking.com should be concerned of.

The bed was comfortable . Rooms are very clean. The location is easy to access and very close to the Gregary Lake.Cable TV works with many channels. The cleanliness of the property is exceptional ! The view of the common balcony is awesome.

The hot water shower and Tap in the sink need some improvement. Takes so much time for hot water to come. Breakfast was not as much as we expected before reservation . We read in reviews the breakfast contains with a good variety .But ours didn't contain so. I got a discount from booking.com as I am in "Genius level two". But I doubt that when we get Genius level discounts , we get diminished service from hotels 🤔🤔🤔. Which is completely opposite of what we expect by reaching those Genius levels. We get Genius levels because we travel alot. So it's booking.com's responsibility to make sure the loyal customers are always satisfied with the services with discounts. We actually got a 20% discount and the amount was just 30 USD.which is very cheap. It is acceptable the hotel cannot afford to give much with 30 USD. So I am not overly concerned with this. BUT the point is this. We get to Genius levels because we travel and book through Bookin.com always. A discount is appreciated but same time it's booking.com 's responsibility the facilities are not reduced on the basis of "Loyal customer's" discounts. Next time I won't be tempted by the discounts .
