What's nearby

  • The giant didn't seemed to be too pleased by the noise of the few safari jeeps around him near the Minneriya lake. He fled into the dense forest nearby. It seems like the increasing number of the vehicles entering the national park disturbs their usual life.

Great view of the lake but a bit away from anywhere if you like to dine out. It was out of season so the in house menu options were limited and tourist focussed. Lovely breakfast and the room was great.

Smuk udsigt, dårlig mad

Dejligt værelse med en dejlig udsigt. Tjenerne var serviceminded og rykkede rundt på møblerne for at give os den bedste udsigt. Maden var dog skuffende og vi følte os til tider lidt nedprioriteret, da der skulle afholdes et bryllup på hotellet mens vi var der.

Ruhiges Hotel für Etappenhalt

Das Giritale Hotel, dass schon etwas bejahrt ist, wird von Peronen besucht, die auf der Durchreise in den Osten der Insel sind und die für die Übernachtung nicht allzu viel ausgeben wollen. Hier erhalen sie für wenig Geld, was sie erwarten: angemessener Komfort und Ruhe. Etwas bemühend sind die späten Abendessenszeiten. Es ist dort schon sehr früh dunkel und ich fand es müssig, bis 19.30 zu warten. Andererseits gibt es Frühstück nur bis 09.00.

Et hotel for udsigtensskyld

Hotellet Er fra 1972 og meget meget slidt. Poolen var grøn af alger og kunne ikke anvendes. Pool stængerne var knækket så kunne ikke bruges heller. Værelserne var slidte og der var 1000 små biller på det ene bade værelse. Men udsigten fra terrassen var helt helt unik og hjalp på helheds oplevelsen.

湖を望む静かなホテルです

少し古いですが、きちんと手入れされており快適でした。徒歩で外出は散歩程度です。夕食のレストラン（有料ですよ）は、席に着くと国旗をテーブルの上に置いてくれました。よく見ると周りのテーブルにも置かれてました。景色が良く、朝は鳥の鳴き声がよく聞こえ、癒されました。

Tr�s bon h�tel 5 �toiles

Un h�tel accueillant, �l�gant et o� le personnel est aux petits soin. Commencer la journ�e par un petit d�jeuner en chambre ou dans le restaurant avec une multitude de plats d�licieux et du champagne, c'est un des petits plaisirs d'un 5 �toiles.
