    + Excellent location with the best views on the mountains and river. 5 minutes walk to the bus station. It is also very quiet as it is the last hotel in the row of hotels + very friendly and helpful staff. We were late arriving at the Akandana...

    The view from the room was fantastic, and the staff speak very good English and very professional. Right next to the Kappa Bridge, one of the best location. Delicious dinner and relaxing atmosphere.
