This hotel is not in Kandy. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from downtown Kandy, and it is all rugged and narrow mountain roads. It seems that our drivers are accustomed to driving this kind of road, but we think that the next mountain is very troublesome, so no It is recommended that you need to go out frequently to choose this one. In addition to the location is a bit far away, the other aspects are really good to say nothing, watching the sunrise in bed early in the morning, watching the rolling mountains while swimming, and the sky and stars at night, children like it! The restaurant here is not bad, there is even a small bar to order wine, but the price is very similar to the domestic, not as cheap as the food and beverage prices in Sri Lanka. In addition, mosquitoes in the tent are unavoidable. Be sure to put down the gauze when you sleep, and spray some mosquito repellent liquid.

The Elephant Stables was the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka! The hotel is nestled in the hills above Kandy city, making it very peaceful and relaxing, but within a short distance to all the cities attractions. The view from the garden and infinity pool is spectacular, and we wish we had had more time to enjoy the property. The staff is what makes this place so amazing - they are so friendly and attentive, with the food being the best we’ve had in all Sri Lanka. Don’t skip out on the dinner menu and ensure you have time to enjoy their delicious breakfast. We can’t wait to recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Kandy.

Colonial style hotel that offers very traditional rooms in a lovely setting. Pool, rooms, common areas, grounds etc all excellent. Exactly what we feel most comfortable with. We were lucky to get an upgrade to a slightly larger room with separate seating area on the upper floor which was a lovely gesture. Service excellent. The allocated butler was very friendly, professional and was very accommodating. I saw other reviews commenting on the food menu and cost. Lovely lunch menu. Very tasty with good portion size. Dinner menu had two starter options and three main to choose from. We had no issue in selecting and found the quality to be truly excellent. Very high standard. I saw other reviewers commenting on the price of food and drink. I agree it is high but should not come as a surprise given the cost of the rooms. If you are prepared to pay the room rate for this unique offering then you need to come ready to spend on the food and drink. Take on the whole experience, that is what holidays are for. One area for improvement which is very minor. The pool is amazing but needs a little love. Walls need a clean. The algae does come off, I tried. Also get the infinity working!! The pool is an asset so milk it.

The stay was wonderful. Very nice service on an outstanding location. The rooms were impecable and the shower was very nice. A possible improvement may be for the service to go over their english just a touch, but their effort to make your stay the best is not worsened by this.

We stayed one night at Heaven Seven Kandy. It was truly comfortable, had a lovely sight from the hotel lobby and from the terrace. The staff is super-friendly and we had a very nice (simple, but tasty) breakfast. The hot water comes after a short time, but we spent a lovely evening there. The hotel is very close to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.
