ORIENT HOTEL

This big, creamy building is sorely lacking in charm and could do with a facelift. It is nevertheless one of the few places to stay in Bandarawela. The 48 rooms have the comfort of a 3 star hotel, with a large double bed and a small desk. Paradoxically, the 2 suites only win because of the extra space they offer, as the quality of the furnishings leaves something to be desired. The range of services allows for a pleasant evening in the restaurant, bar, billiards and/or gym.
