Horowpothana Hotels

"Clean, very nice staff, perfect view "

"Good standard hotel in central location for visiting sights in cultural triangle."

"Very nice little boutique hotel. Our room was 30 seconds from the beach which was long and deserted. The room was spacious and comfortable, the hotel clean and well set out with good amenities and super friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they reacted to requests immediately. Highly recommended for people looking to relax and just chill out. "

"Nice enough but very much a tourist hotel, pool size was too small to actually swim in. Poor access to internet when I mentioned it response was “oh the hotel is full” internet capacity should be made for a full hotel! Buffet was on. Wine was very expective "

"Wonderful staff . nothing was too much trouble. Lovely accommodation. Bit difficult for driver to find but very secluded. Only negative was the stray dogs roaming around and 1 in particular sleeping outside our front door."

"A beautiful spot, lovely rooms and very attentive staff "

"We are architects and the property is one of the most architecturally significant modern properties in Sri Lanka blending vernacular architecture with modern design. It’s fabulous considering a slightly odd site accessed only via a new bridge. The architecture and furniture and some of the best I’ve seen. The staff are great and friendly. slightly too over attentive at meal times but that’s probably just me! The only shortfall is the integration of the amenities into the overall operation - it needs a designated bar (apparently in the works) as after dinner the only option is to go to your villa room. Not a problem per se but would be nice to socialise a bit after. During the day if you hang out at the property we missed some attentive drinks and snacks being considered for the pool area (lovely pool overlooking the pady fields!) when you felt slightly left to your own devises. If this was a soho house there would be someone around acknowledging your presence and servicing from time to time - you have to go and find the staff who then they snap into action. A bit snoozy if you are trying to have a fun time! - major issue is the lack of variety of drinks - beers and wines only - I could have done with a gin and tonic or two beside the pool - slightly not understanding why management haven’t worked this out (I know licensing is tricky in Sri Lanka) as I would have probably spent 50% more on my extra/ ove bill (over and above the half board) if this had been worked through 4/5!"

"Everything was perfect; staff, room, food, location. One of the best hotels we have stayed anywhere in the world."

"Clean rooms and public areas, very welcoming staff and wonderful breakfasts. "
