We had an amazing stay at the Benison last weekend, they had an offer of LKR 20,000 with breakfast at the Deluxe room. The service and food is fantastic. The food options given during breakfast was really worth for the money spent and even the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Only suggestion is the room main door and the washroom door is not completely done properly. It’s visible from out, if that can be fixed that would be amazingPosted on Google Camyla JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
