We arrived in Colombo at 2pm. 30 min. since our tour began with excursions, we and two other couples of tourists were provided with a minibus, which took us to Kandy. 3.5 hours on a winding, traffic-laden road dragged on for a very long time. At dawn we reached the hotel. the voucher indicated a 4 * hotel, and the Casamara 2 * hotel looked at us (or we looked at it).

We arrived in Colombo at 2pm. 30 min. since our tour began with excursions, we and two other couples of tourists were provided with a minibus, which took us to Kandy. 3.5 hours on a winding, traffic-laden road dragged on for a very long time. At dawn we reached the hotel. the voucher indicated a 4 * hotel, and the Casamara 2 * hotel looked at us (or we looked at it). to all our indignations, the meeting party "cancord exotic" answered: "if you don't like it, call Kyiv. " there was nothing to do, went to look at the numbers. the rooms are not bad (especially for 2 *): a large bed, bedside tables, a TV, a table with chairs, the bathroom is clean, a toilet, a shower, in some places there is mold on the ceiling and walls. There was soap, but shampoo had to be bought. The windows of all rooms overlook the road, so it was difficult to fall asleep. having a little rest, we went to look for a store (breakfast was not included that day) and see the city. just behind the hotel is the temple of the tooth of the buddha, the lake, many shops.
in the hotel itself, the staff is friendly, in the restaurant for dinner they fed minu, served leisurely, breakfast is also served by the waiters. the hotel has an internet cafe, there is even a pool, but it looks somehow "not very". for the first day we got used to the hotel, and no one was going to move us anywhere. The second night at the hotel was sleepless. It turned out that the president's birthday is celebrated for more than one day. this event was also devoted to the night (prayers, some speeches and sermons rushed from the loudspeaker until the morning). thank God that we were to spend the next night in a booked hotel on the ocean.

Leaving for a restaurant for dinner, they left a wallet with money in the room. It was already after 21:00, no one is cleaning at this time and they thought no one would enter the room. But it turns out they were wrong. 2000 rupees and 55 dollars disappeared from the wallet. They took little so that the owners would not notice (there was a decent amount in the wallet) and if it had not been the first day of our stay in the country, we might not have noticed the loss.

And so, since they had not bought almost anything yet, the theft was discovered.
So, be careful, and even better - bypass this hotel.
