The same Sri Lankan hospitality and attention to detail we received all over Sri Lanka was not present. Rooms haven’t been updated and bugs and insects everywhere. Meal standard was pretty low

Disappointing stay!
This is not a 5 star hotel. Porter were not available on arrival to assist with lugguage. Overall, hotel need a refurbishment as it is tired. We were given a accessible room, and when we have a shower the whole toilet was flooded - a plastic curtains was the shower door. Towels were old and smell. Room also smell damp and moulded. We could hear the people in thr next room and anyone walking in the corridor. We checked in at around 4pm amd checked out at 8am - not an inviting hotel that you want to hang around.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
到着した際にホテルエントランスに誰もおらず、間違えたエントランスに来たか?と思ったら、実はそこがメインエントランスでした。 その後、お昼ご飯を食べようとしたのですが、テーブルの上に蟻がたくさん歩いており、食事をする気がかなり萎えました。 施設は5つ星ホテルとは思えないほど不潔で、部屋に入った際には髪の毛が落ちていたり、浴槽が汚れていたり、エレベーターが狭く汚い、プールには枯れ葉がたくさん落ちていたり、ベランダが泥だらけだったり、本当に気分が沈みました。 さらに、スタッフの対応も非常に悪く、渡したはずの鍵を忘れる、テーブルに蟻がいると言ってもテーブルは新しく準備したので問題ないと確かめもしないで対応しないなどなど、本当に気分が悪くなりました。

Avoid at all costs
Avoid at all costs. Pros: Service at the spa and restaurant was good. Cons: Old hotel, old furniture, mattress was hard and has that little ledge on the edges, like your parents mattress from 40yrs ago. Sheets were tired, I felt disgusting lying there and thankful that it was only 1 night. Air con was not effective. Poor service and communication. When I checked in, I asked for a late checkout, they agreed 12pm and wrote it down. At 11.30 the next day they called, asking why I hadn’t checked out. I told them I had a late check-out which should be in their system, and can they send someone up in 5mins to take my bags. No one came. When I checked in, I asked would there be a spa menu. They said yes it is in the room. It wasn’t in the room, I called reception, they told me to call the spa, the spa told me to ask reception. Seriously, get your act together guys, I want to spend money at the spa and you don’t even want it. The guy at reception told me contradictory hours for the spa service times. Service wise- whenever I had to sign something, they put it in front of me and didn’t say a word- never experienced such rudeness at a hotel. It was a horrible stay and when I checked out, the lady asked how my stay was. I told her that I was disappointed, and the reasons why. Then to sort my payment, she directed me to another lady (whom I thought was more senior), who didn’t say a thing or ask how my stay was, simply printed the invoice for signing.

The Mahawell Reach Hotel was a welcome respite after many hours of driving. Large comfortable rooms with all the usual 4 star hotel inclusions. Great bed. The shower was over the bath and quite deep so if you have mobility issues I would recommend asking for a room with separate shower. The breakfast was the usual but nice buffet style (excellent omelette). We stayed two nights and this hotel was good.
