The hotel has a charming atmosphere that combines historical elements with a cozy feel. The spacious compound offers a pleasant environment to unwind, but the aging plumbing and outdated bathroom conditions left a lot to be desired. The on-site dining options were decent, but not remarkable for the price. Overall, while the ambiance and friendly staff were highlights, the maintenance issues and pricing felt disproportionate to the value provided.

I had a pleasant stay at Old Park Villa, where the food was fantastic and really felt like home-cooked Sri Lankan meals. The staff, especially Rexala and Anigda, were welcoming and made us feel comfortable. However, the rooms had some issues with unpleasant smells and the plumbing could definitely use some upgrades. Overall, it was a good value for the price, but some aspects need improvement.

However, the accommodations are severely overpriced for the conditions of the rooms, which have a strong odor and outdated furnishings. The location is quite central, making it easy to explore the area, but the overall value for money is disappointing given the state of the facilities.
