"More breakfast options for tourists. Better coffee in machine."
"Good staff and clean room"
"It was a decent city hotel, it didn’t feel 5* at international standards but it was a good for one night and close to all the city activities."
"The place was clean, staff were very helpful, great location"
"We drove past The Trees on our first trip to Kandy and were particularly impressed by the beautiful architecture and the walls covered with solid wood panels. We haven't been disappointed by the room, the nice view from the balcony, nor the à la carte options during our short stay. We didn't get to enjoy the stunning rooftop pool overlooking the lake on that rainy day unfortunately but look forward to another stay to do so."
"The room was clean and comfortable but the only let down was the AC unit didn't work but there had been a power outage during our stay so not sure if related or not. Staff very friendly and welcoming and attentive, would stay here again."
