The hotel is run by a really nice family. It’s a perfect location to ride the elephants right down the street. You can stay here to save money, and get a balcony room for a great price. Bring your own sheets and towels because you’ll be happier if you do (I did and had a great time). The owners son is so nice and came along my tour and showed me the Kandy Tooth Temple in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Highly recommend seeing that and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Elephant Bay Hotel is next door and you can pay like $15 to use the pool for the day, I recommend doing that to get some pics with elephants in the background!
