Mountbatten Bungalow- Thema Collection

Nous avons été déçus par la carte du restaurant et la taille des portions. Le petit dej est limite et comme partout le café très léger. Sinon les chambres, le jardin et le cadre sont merveilleux

Neben dem exzellenten Gesamteindruck (Service, Bungalows, Essen, Anlage) ist insbesondere der Koch Kelum Udana mit seiner Kochshow hervorzuheben: Er hat super in das Kochen der lokalen Küche eingeführt und beim Kochen auf offenem Feuer begleitet. Was wir gekocht hatten, durften wir hinterher auch Essen. Es war übrigens auch total lecker. Genau so gut kannte er sich in internationaler Küche aus. Wir geben ihm 5 Sterne!! Er wird ganz sicher erfolgreich weiter kochen. C&B

A unique place to stay steeped in history and we actually even had Mountbatten's room himself - Blue Lily. The room was very large and a very good temperature. Comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The staff are a delight - very helpful and kind and calm and dressed in authentic uniform. The setting is beautiful and calm and an oasis near Kandy. We had lovely pre-dinner cocktails and the gardens are manicured and beautiful The swimming pool is lovely we had it to ourselves and the staff again were amazing helping us to get photos and couldn't do more for you. At dinner the service was wonderful and the chef came to say hello which was lovely. The wine was really nice also. Sadly I cannot say in good conscience that the food was good in all respects. this is the one area that needs improvement and would make a vast difference. At breakfast the bread was hard and served with garlic butter which made no sense and was I think from the night before. The set menu seemed a strange selection of choices to put together - the sorbet was an ice cube with mint, the soup chicken was lovely but preceded by vegetable cous cous. Staff were helpful and I was allowed to have an a la carte item for my main - chicken skewers - which were delicious but sadly the dessert was a chocolate volcano pudding which was hard as a volcanic rock and the centre not runny. I still rate as 5* because the hotel and everything about it deserves this. The food could just do with improvement.
