“Colonial era Elegance in Kandy”

We loved the old colonial charm of the hotel and were thrilled with our room upgrade to a suite overlooking the lake. The pool was lovely and the restaurant buffet was fantastic.

“Great location, would start again.”

The food and service was fabulous, we highly recommend this hotel. Rooms are spacious, clean and lovely. The pool is sensational, though the outdoor seating is old and breaking down.

“Historical hotel in prime Kandy location”

Wonderful historical hotel in an excellent location, right on the lake and opposite the entry to the temple of the tooth. So many years of history in the hotel, very well preserved, but not modernised to the point that it became a very expensive place to stay. It reminded me of Raffles in Singapore, without the expensive tariff. I had a huge room with a cast iron balcony overlooking the lake. These outer rooms can be noisy, but I was prepared for that and chose it for the view. Hotel staff were very helpful and kind. The hotel restaurant was impressive and served a good range of food, but is not airconditioned, making it difficult in the heat. It is quite formal, but there are also other food and drink choices around the hotel, and a lovely museum/cafe/bar facing onto the swimming pool and hidden garden at the rear.

Great location.
