The Sri Lankan hospitality continues in full swing. There never is a place in Serendib where you will not enjoy their hospitality. The Gimanhala transit Hotel is only safe looking place in the town with well-trained, friendly staff, clean rooms and a good restaurant. Their papaya juice is a must. The bar is open in the evenings and the swimming pool looks inviting with the clean water amidst the trees and the farm beyond, with ducks enjoying their walk around. Reasonably priced, this hotel has a convenient location, especially if you intend exploring the ancient cities.
