Me and my best friend attended this bungalow / hotel for the first 3 nights of our stay. The staff were amazing. So so friendly and just wanted what was best for you. Had your best interests at heart. We had a 4am taxi ready for our day trip and one of the members of staff woke up and came and made us a takeaway breakfast and bottled water so we were set up for our day. Made us a cup of tea at 3:45am. Nothing is too much for them. Our 3 main members of staff that served us and looked after us were Hastha, Manjula and Navod. There were other staff but I didn’t get their names. This hotel is beautiful right at the top of the mountain. They only want what is best for you and look after you like you are royalty. Thankyou and god bless you you are all amazing. I’d recommend this to anybody. Beautiful scenes , a beautiful scene and swimming pool. Beautiful clean room.

Good afternoon ! I chose a hotel next to the royal garden. Everything was wonderful, a nice room with a beautiful view of Kandy, a balcony, an excellent breakfast and its presentation, everything was wonderful. Some minor disadvantages include the location: the car could not reach the hotel 200 meters away, the mountain is very steep. There are two rooms on the floor, and one shower and washbasin. It didn’t bother me because... No one lived in the second room. Thanks to the owner, he is very friendly!!!

We stayed in the spacious and pristine King Suite. We loved the delicious food, especially the rice & curry and tropical fruit. The hotel is set in a peaceful and beautiful oasis with a lovely view. All of the staff members, including the housekeeping staff, were very kind and attentive. Our housekeeper even made elaborate towel sculptures of Sri Lankan animals. Bravo!

The hotel is built on the hillside, and Kandy Lake is across the hill. The Temple of the Tooth Relic is within walking distance. The location is good, the buffet breakfast and dinner are rich in variety, but the disadvantage is that the WiFi signal is too poor

From the moment we arrived at this hotel, the service was truly excellent. We arrived early, but were still able to check in. We were greeted with cold refreshing coconut drinks and snacks, and the most helpful, lovely staff. Our room was beautiful, very stylish, with a small balcony, lovely bathroom (great toiletries!) and extremely comfortable bed. Perfect! The breakfasts were delicious, such a varied choice of food, with good coffee! We are vegan but there was plenty for us to eat. Day 2 we had freshly prepared hoppers filled with lentil dahl - so yummy! Location is ideal, very close to the lake and not far from the train station. We bumped into a gentleman who works at the hotel when we were out exploring (he was off-duty at the time but recognized us from when we checked in) and he was SUPER helpful, walking with us for a while, pointing out some interesting places to go, and he even helped us buy tickets for a traditional dance show. We were only in Kandy for 2 nights, but really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Highly recommend.

The room was clean and comfortable. Sitting in the lobby and around the swimming pool is very comfortable, you can be in a daze all day long! The surrounding environment is very good. There is a lake next to the hotel and a small hill opposite. Wake up in the morning and listen to the birds singing, by the way, there are many crows here😄

The reserved room bedroom has a loft that can sleep 3-4 people. The public areas and rooms are well decorated and maintained. The location is not far from the city center, but close to the road and railway. It is noisy at other times except at night. The hot water switch was hidden in the closet and was not turned on when checking in. There were no additional instructions. The front desk got off work at 10pm and could not be contacted, so I had to take a cold shower. There was a small gecko in the bathtub. Except for the soup, dinner was pretty unpalatable. The two types of fish I ordered were overcooked, dry, bitter, and maybe burnt. When I first checked in at 2 pm, I wanted to have laundry delivered to me. I was told that if I picked it up before departure the next morning, there would be an additional fee. However, I checked into another hotel of the same brand the day before and had laundry delivered at 10 pm the next morning before checking out. Washing, drying and ironing are done for free. What’s also strange is that the front desk helps you fill out the satisfaction survey feedback when leaving the store and asks you to sign it, while the previous one asked you to fill it out realistically. When you see the high score, you are also asked to provide suggestions for improvement. The difference in service awareness is evident.

The hotel itself and its facilities are fantastic. The rooms are nice and the food is absolutely superb. Unfortunately the service in the restaurant was really poor, which made this stay absolutely unpleasant. We were given dirty table cloths (and they didn’t want to replace it after asking for it), our table was given to someone else while we were at the buffet, we had to order drinks several times until finally served, we were given the bill to sign while still eating the main dish (not even dessert) and actually wanted to order more drinks, after being seated, we had to wait min 10 min to place orders for drinks or get silverware etc. From a 5* hotel we definitely expected something better. This is the only hotel during our trip, where we experienced bad service. which is a pity, as otherwise the hotel is really nice. We would not book it again.
