The hotel has rooms spread across multiple levels, with some accessible by lift and others requiring several flights of stairs. Despite checking in as a family with a young child and a pram, we were allocated a room on the top floor with no lift access, requiring us to climb three flights of stairs every time we entered or left the room. There appeared to be no consideration given to our circumstances when allocating the room. It was such an inconvenience that even the porter chose to leave the pram downstairs rather than carry it up the stairs. This meant carrying both our toddler and everything we needed up and down three flights of stairs throughout our stay—something that seemed entirely avoidable with more thoughtful room allocation. The room itself was also well below expectations. It felt tired, dated and overdue for refurbishment. The bathroom tap continuously overflowed, a fault that the Housekeeping Manager acknowledged and apologised for, confirming that it was a genuine maintenance issue rather than simply our impression. The one standout feature is the location. The views over the surrounding countryside are absolutely stunning and create a peaceful atmosphere. Breakfast was decent—nothing memorable, but perfectly acceptable for the price. Unfortunately, beautiful surroundings can only compensate so much. Poor room allocation, lack of consideration for families with young children, and dated, poorly maintained rooms meant this hotel fell well short of what we expected.

We were here with my sister's family, who came down from USA, and we absolutely loved this place. The place is simply breathtaking. Cool breeze with wide open view of the beautiful mountains. I need to give special thanks to the manager (Mr. Darshana) at the dinner buffet. We were there on 26th/27th July this year. We ordered A la carte, not the buffet and when the food was a bit delayed to arrive and my little nephew was getting sleepy, Mr. Darshana offered him ice cream from the buffet, which I think was such a wonderful and thoughtful gesture. He is such a friendly, accommodating person. We want to visit Amaya hills again and probably every year too. The staff is truly the best thing about this place. It doesn't matter how wonderful the location is, for me personally, the deal breaker is hospitality.
