Guest Reviews

• Michaël (8/5): - After you leave the main road to, literally, dive onto this hotel on a 45 or so degrees slope, you'll find yourself in a tiny combe crossed by the river flowing from the top of the main mountain: Sri Pada a.k.a. Adam's Peak. Legend has it that some vehicles are no longer able to climb it back and are consequently stuck there for ever. Why did you come here? Well, to climb that peak, of course! What else? The slope leading to the hotel and that you'll have to take in the reverse direction will just make the initial training of your escalation. The hotel itself consists of basic rooms, some completely made out of wood giving the typical aspect of moutain chalets. Or, at least, cabins. This is around 1000 metres high, and you'll have to take around the same height with your effort to reach the top. Meanwhile, mosquitoes still live at that altitude and nets are provided around the beds for that reason. Also, the river, the official 'pool' of the hotel, is nearby which translates into small beings occasionally paying you a visit. Especially in the bathroom, situated outside the room but that is reached via a small terrace. No, you're not here for comfort, you're here to take the rest necessary before and after the climb. As the thousands, mostly locals, others pilgrims that came that way. So if you feel ready for that gift of self, just go for it.
• Emma (4/5): - Our room had a great view of the mountain, however, was in very poor condition. The sheets and mosquito net had stains and mould, the room smelt of mould and mildew and the bathroom had multiple soaps left from previous travellers. The food was overpriced, particularly breakfast. It was a good 10 minute walk from the start of the trek, keeping in mind White House is at the bottom of a steep hill. Each night a good explanation of what to expect from the Adams Peak climb is given.
• Catherine (4/5): Horrible - Je trouvais ridicule de payer une somme importante dans la mesure où a 2h du matin, nous serions levés. Meme 25€ la nuit, j’ai trouvé cela cher en proportion de la prestation. Notre lit n’avait pas de drap. Une seule serviette de bains à l’hygiène douteuse. Bref, si vous n’êtes pas regardants, ok sinon passez votre chemin.
• Peter (6/5): Overnatningsmulighed for Adams Peak - Hotellet er en fin overnatningsmulighed hvis man ønsker at besøge Adams Peak. Hotellet er ikke færdigbygget eller særlig godt vedligeholdt. Vores værelse var ikke særlig rent, men aftensmaden og servicen var god.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The rooms were really large with great views. Staff were attentive and friendly and happy to organise your trip for you.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Chambres très très humides Nourriture basic Personnel de restauration sympathique Breefing concernant l’adams peaks Photos mensongères nous étions étonné de la chambre ( hôtel.com ne vérifie pas les hôtels qu’ils proposent ni les photos que les clients postent) Beaucoup de beaux paysages ( champs de thé, cascades..)
• Tilda (8/5): Stitet men okej - Personalen var trevlig och hjälpsam och informerade bra om Adams peak. Hotellet låg bra i förhållande till Adams peak. Standarden på rummet var som förväntat, inte hört fläckfritt men bo-bart. Mycket god middag och ok frukost.
• Kelly (6/5): - The rooms were comfortable, although there was no hot water, and the breakfast was only an egg and A LOT of bread, which after climbing Adam’s Peak was disappointing. The proprietors charge for every little thing, including borrowing a flashlight, but they do know about the climb at any time of day. Our biggest complaint was that there was poor treatment of our driver. We didn’t mind paying for his room (although most others let the drivers stay for free), but we did mind that he was put in a dirty, shabby room and provided substandard meals. Overall, I would not recommend.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location for Adam's peak. Staff are friendly. They also provide a head light and walking stick for the hike which is great. We used their head light for the hike. The dinner and breakfast was also good.
• Paul (8/5): Happily functional - Not a lot to say about this. Clean, comfortable, functional. Use as a base for Adam's Peak. The only "con" is it is down a steep hill from the main road. But then again food is a lot cheaper than the place at the top of the hill.
• Charlotte (8/5): DEJLIGT- forkerte adresse på hotels.com - Selve opholdet var super lækkert, super venlig vært, og dejligt sted. Lækker morgenmad, store værelser. Værten var så sød at give mig og min veninde et lift ned i byen, da han alligvel skulle den vej. Hotellet ligger lidt væk fra byen, men rigtig tæt på den flotte sø. OPS vær opmærksom på at det er den forkerte adresse som står her på hjemmesiden. Vi stod i den helt anden ende af byen og var meget forvirret og kunne ikke finde vores hotel... værten har informeret hotels.com for noget tid siden men der er ikke blevet gjort noget, fra deres side af...
• Stefanie (6/5): - Schöne Lage mit Garten. Leider jedoch nur offener Essbereich, sehr kalt bei Schlechtwetter.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Okay hotel but I'd look elsewhere next time - Good: - okay value for money - Great view to the Adam's Peak (you can see the path lit up at night, from the restaurant and your room) Bad: - Staff expecting tips all the time. After every single thing they do for you (carrying a bag, bringing something which they forgot to provide to your room, etc etc.) they expect tips (which in usual cases I'd be happy to give as gratitude to their service, but it's a different story when it's 'expected' - some staff even show their begging hands). I'm suspecting that the staff are not on salary but have to live off on tips and that's what makes them behave in such way, which is quite sad though. - Smelly room - Dirty tab water (suspected that they just use river water without perhaps filtering/chemically-cleaning): water smells and yellow-brown in colour. You don't feel clean after having a shower of course, and you have to use bottled water for brushing teeth
• Irene (8/5): A place to sleep before Adam's Peak hike - OK place to stay for 1 night before climbing Adam's Peak. Basic no frills and clean place, about 115-20 minutes walk to start of the hike. I appreciated the late check in after a delayed train! And hearty breakfast after the hike, albeit at an extra charge (confirm first if you have it included in your room cost). It's located down a steep driveway (next to a creek/stream) so be prepared!
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Friendly staff but run down hotel, food in the evening was very good. Room was damp and smelt, okay for a few hours if climbing Adam’s Peak
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very basic room and helpful staff - Basic and no frills room. Suits our purpose of sleeping for a couple of hours before climbing adams peak and quick shower after climb. Friendly and helpful staff. No wifi.
• Jeris (8/5): - Stayed a night for Adam's Peak. Good location and simple briefing. Toilet is separated from the main house. Good that there's mosquito net. Staff are nice too!
• Peter (6/5): Average stay - For the price and area it was a decent hotel. Bathroom was moldy but bed was comfortable. Food was basic. Had to request a mountain view room (even if that was what we seemed to have booked on hotel.com) for an extra change as they placed us in a chalet room that was not very clean.
• Lindsay (10/5): Wonderful spot - Great, friendly staff that was very accommodating! The bed was very comfortable too! I would recommend everyone to stay here.
• Benjamin (8/5): Als Ausgangspunkt für den Adams Peak optimal - Wir waren 2 Tage dort. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht und freundlich. Man ist in 10 Minuten zu Fuß am Ausgangspunkt zur Besteigung des Adam Peaks. Wir haben uns dort Wohlgefühlt.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Bra stop under Adams Peak hike - Vi checkade in här en eftermiddag inför vår vandring upp för Adams Peak. Rummen är i helt okej men äldre skick. Personalen är hjälpsamma. Gångavstånd till Adams Peak. Enda minuset är att allting blev ganska fuktigt och vi var därför väldigt kalla när vi startade vandringen.
• mari (8/5): - Very nice people, good service and good local food.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - big room, good food, 10min walk to the adams's peak trail. Recommandable for the purpose of the hike.
• Yu-Wen (8/5): - Great hospitality and good guidance to Adam's peak.... You will enjoy the nice view and it is within 8min walking distance to hike Adam's peak.
• Sebastian (8/5): Great place to start for a Adam's Peak walk - The Hotel itself is of quite low standstandard but it makes up for it by having a great location close to the start of the Adam's Peak walk and the bus station as well for the excellent service of the hotel's enthusiastic owner and host. The hotel offer a great buffet dinner with information about climbing Adam's Peak afterwards, and a late breakfast after having done the walk, which was much appreciated. A perfect stay for the night for getting in, climbing Adam's Peak, and getting out.
• Francisca de Assis (2/5): Be outside! - When I arrived in this hotel they didn't know about my booking. Then I've presented then my reservation, afterwards they told me it was ok, then asked for payment. I told them I was charged by hotels.com. They check again my reservation and agreed I've paid all. The room was not that one I've booked, view to the river, but I didn't refuse it, because I was tired and want sleep a little bit before hiking. In fact, you can't sleep people talk so lauder and the room are not sound proof. The room smelling really bad, bed linen not clean, you can see black spot in the roof and wall that means humidity. Next day when I went to check out, the lady in the reception ask me again if I've paid my room. After I tell her to check my reservation, she still ask me again if I have paid my room. Or maybe if I have eat breakfast I not paid. By the way, if I don't like the cleaning of the room, I don't trust the food.
• JAMES (10/5): nice place - Room was nice. Could have used a fan in it. Area is beautiful. Had very hit water.
• Thijs (6/5): Goedkope plek voor het beklimmen van Adam's Peak - Het verblijf was matig. De kamers en hoofdgebouw zien er armetierig uit, maar de mensen zijn redelijk vriendelijk. Gezien het feit dat je slechts een paar uur gebruik maakt van de kamer is het prima waarde voor het geld dat je ervoor betaalt. Wel liep er op een zeker moment een rat door de kamer en zat de klamboe vol met gaten.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Situé proche d'Adam's peak - Chambre humide et sale, cafards dans la chambre, draps et serviettes sales même si le staff était accueillant
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Stayed one (short) night at the White House to climb the Adam's Peak. Place was clean, staff friendly and great value for money, recommended.
• Christine (8/5): Very convenient for Adam's Peak. - Chose this hotel to climb Adam's Peak. The manager gives a very informative and helpful talk before the climb.
• Kaiping (2/5): 極差!沒信用! - 我於住宿兩周前完成付款，雙人房一晚，住宿當晚抵達後，他只告知我已客滿!!在抵達前事先也電話告知並確認我會到，很讓人不滿。後來竟然安排給我睡在隔壁住戶的餐廳地板，廁所極髒，水壓很小~只提供給我一條浴巾，其餘完全沒有任何協助。而且還不願意部分退費，我花了超過3300盧比訂雙人房~結果得到此下場! 這絕對是間沒有信用的旅館，非常糟糕! 你絕對有可能是下一位受害者! 有太多其他可以選擇了! Awful choice~
• Martina (8/5): Sehr Basic, aber großartig!! - Also zunächst... Das Hotel sieht ganz anders aus! Der Komfort ist... Naja... ABER: Der Eigentümer und seine Mitarbeiter sind dermaßen freundlich, witzig, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit dass ich das Hotel jedem der den Adam's Peak besteigen möchte, wärmstens empfehlen kann!!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Idéalement situé et bon marché. - Idéal pour un départ nocturne vers le sommet et extra pour une remise en condition après LES marches. L'établissement s'agrandi. Le buffet dînatoire est à éviter, mieux vaut faire quelques pas vers un "vrai" restaurant (qualité et quantité). Adresse que je conseille.
• Ellis (8/5): - Excellent accommodation to spend the nite to hike to Adam's Peak.
• Esa (8/5): Hintansa arvoinen - Levähdyspaikka matkalla Adam's Peakille. Hyvä ruoka. Hyvä palvelu.
• Steve (8/5): Good. Work in progress...but good. - The staff were friendly and informative, and the room a good size and comfortable. The bathing pond was lovely...more people should use it! It is close to the start to Adams Peak (10min walk). The food at the restaurant is OK and convenient and the breakfast was ideal post-trek. There was building work going on, so I imagine the place will only get better. Overall a positive experience...definitely soak your legs in the river after the trek!
• Wendy (4/5): Located at bottom of very steep drive. - Building work being done. Very dirty bathroom. Shower water either stone cold or scalding hot, so we couldn't shower. Very basic breakfast, and we were choked by acrid smoke from the water heater in the eating area.
• Stephen (8/5): Nice place, friendly staff - but no air con - An ideal hotel for those wishing to climb Adam's Peak. The start of the Adam's Peak trail is <10mins walk away. The staff at the White House were very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is currently being refurbished. We were given a lovely ensuite room next to the river. Please note, that despite being advertised in the room description on Hotels.com, at the time of our stay (10-12 Oct 2016), none of the rooms had Air Conditioning. However, this is not a problem since the area is at high enough altitude that Air Con is not really needed. The free breakfast was very good, fruit/egg/bread/jam etc.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Simpel aber in Ordnung - Unser Zimmer war simpel aber gut ausgestattet mit Bad und Mosquitonetz, wobei das Bad modrig roch. Das Frühstück und Abendessen war gut und das Personal freundlich. Beim check out gabs ein Missverständnis, da sich das Hotel wohl nicht mit Buchungen via ebookers.com auskennt. Für Ausflüge zum Adam's Peak sehr gut geeignet. Direkter Bus nach Hatton nur bis 09:30 Uhr.
• Sophie (10/5): - Really enjoyable stay, good food, comfortable room with a great view. Very easy to get to Adam's Peak. Bathroom was a bit smelly but enjoyed everything else.
• Emmanuel (8/5): Satisfaisant - Le nécessaire est présent pour se reposer avant de grimper le pic d'adam
• Yves (6/5): Hôtel accueillant, proche du site de l'Adams - Le prélèvement effectué longtemps à l'avance par Expédia la chambre n'avait été transmis au gérant de l'établissement. Nous avons hérité de la pire chambre de l'hôtel malgré de notre réservation pour 3 nuits. Petit déjeuner copieux, repas pas trop épicé sous forme de buffet. Environnement calme et arborisé.
