The food is really good and the environment is very calming. the location is very easy to access every main location in Kandy.

This is a lovely, clean, pretty hotel set up high on a hill, a little out of the way from downtown Kandy, but oh those views. Room 13 was L shaped with a bed on each side, sofa in between, balcony and plenty of room to lounge about. Vaulted, beamed ceilngs made the room feel both spacious and cozy. If only we weren't so eager to explore the city, I would have happily spent the day lolling about in this charming room, if only to gaze out on Kandy below. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

My family and friends (party of 16) stayed at the Richmond for three nights in December of 2019. The hotel is located in the hills with fabulous views and is 10-15 minutes from the city center. The hotel is beautifully decorated in a British colonial motif with an inviting lobby. The staff was friendly and attentive. A few of our rooms were on the bottom floor which felt like a private area. A delicious breakfast is included with the stay. The price is fantastic for all that is included. For many of us the Richmond was our favorite hotel or at least tied for first (we stayed at 7 different places).

Very stylish colonial hotel, large and well decorated rooms. Personnel very kind and helpful. Breakfast normally served as buffet, but due to a lack of tourists (after Colombo attack) now served at table. Still plenty to eat!

We stayed there for 3 nights. This property is a 20 min ride by tuk tuk from Kandy city centre. The hotel is small and has just 8 rooms. Rooms are very clean and are of decent size. Overall its value for money. But dinner is bloddy expensive and not worth having there. Staff are nice and very helpful. Overall it was a nice stay.

Well upwards located city hotel in colonial style with nice view over Kandy. Good food from a buffet. We definitely enjoyed our stay. The Richmond House has two Buildings separated by a narrow street. You need to walk stair in every direction, so it's not the best choice if you're feet/legs are not well.
