Hotell med pool i Hokandara

"Positivt: Fint, rent rum med direkt utsikt över stranden och havet. Fantastisk frukostbuffet. Pampig kolonialbyggnad med fantastiskt läge. Utsikt hela vägen till Colombo skyline. Härligt pooldäck. Negativt: Kunde inte bada i havet pga för stora vågor. Restaurangen vid stranden var stängd. På pooldäcket fanns endast ett fåtal parasoller, så det gällde att få tag i ett snabbt då det är för hett att ligga i solen. Otroligt långsam service när man beställde mat eller dryck vid poolen eller i baren. Ignorant personal, plockade inte undan matrester så det var många kråkor som samlades på pooldäcket. Väldigt fuktigt och nedgånget i de långa korridorerna i vår flygel. Dåligt skyltat, vi gick som i en labyrint innan vi väl hittade från vårt rum till receptionen. "

"Mandarina is a great 5 star hotel with a great location. Very nice pool and staff. Recommended."

"We enjoyed very much to stay at this historical, colonial hotel. You could really feel how it must have been and still is, this very fashionable luxury hotel. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We liked to stay by the pool and swim in the 30 meters long salt water pool. Breakfast was excellent. It seemed to be many English guests. It must be special with the colonial heritage. All staff were polite and very helpful. The location was excellent next to the sea. It is a special hotel you shouldn’t miss."

"Great hotel. "

"Fick uppgradering med hav utsikt så det va trevligt, men väldigt enkelt rum, lite slitet .. duschkabin typ med plastgolv, ens handduken va smutsig, jättekonstigt att ha garderoben och safetybox inne i toaletten .. kläder alltid utsatta för fukt "

"Excellent vacation at Shangri-La! Everyone was fantastic and mr Dinesh at the hopper station at the breakfast buffe was worth the stay in it self! Best breakfast ever! "

"Got a voucher for 12 usd when I made me reservation. No one noticed that and I had to argue with restaurants that n the area and still they could not solved it. For the future it is much better if you give the guests a paper voucher as they do at the sister hotel cinnamon red when you Check in. Also a difference when the staff of cleaning make the room, sometimes toothbrush and refill of water and other days not. The “night club” Colobar is a bit is a problem since they plays loud music outside and the music can be heard in the rooms, that is not what you wish for a hotel like this. Improvement please on this! Still this is one of my favorite hotels in Sri Lanka but I also think it needs a renovation. "

"The room was very nice and clean but the bars and pool bar etc were non existent, tried to order room service and they said they only offered snacks, no actual food. They ring your bell/bang on your door at 9am every morning and when you open no one is there, even though I put up the do not disturb. Very annoying if you’re jet lagged. Overall good and worth the money but not quite what they are advertising themselves to be "
