Another wonderful old Hotel set above the Lake in Kandy. Excellent service, rooms, meals, DJ and staff. Highly recommended because of its location and proximity to be able to access the city, Temple of the Tooth. Being able to witness a wedding was something of a bonus and have it explained to us as to what was happening and why.

Well positioned within easy reach of the city center but far enough out for a bit of peace. We had a large well equipped, air conditioned room on the 3rd floor with a lovely balcony overlooking the lake; it is well worth asking for a room with a lake view when you book. The hotel used to be Mountbatten's HQ... More

We really enjoyed it here. Amazing atmospheric old place run by great staff who really know what they're doing. Huge high ceilings and old carved doors. Make sure you check out the billiard room, it's like a museum. Lord Mountbatten headquartered here in WW2, you can almost imagine him still there! Air con in rooms was very effective, unusual for...

A great location for a "special place to stay" as Sawday would say. On the lakeside, close enough to walk into town (or short TukTuk ride -hilarious fun) We were welcomed very warmly; you do feel like royals being greeted on arrival, as is becoming of such an historical building. Our room was simply delightful with balcony views over the... More

Beautiful building and wonderful staff. We loved the pool! The staff were accommodating and the food was good. The offered many north american dishes and Sri Lankan curries that were quite delicious. The room was spacious and clean, the building was very charming. Many locals were staying here so it was an eclectic crowd. It was well situated in proximately... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in a standard room and were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room and general decor. It was a little dark without a good view (facing the next door property) and the bathroom could have done with a stronger light in it - however this was clean and well maintained. We had a comfortable... More

We stayed here for two nights while touring Sri Lanka. The hotel was a lovely old building, we were on the 3rd floor which was easy to reach via the lift. Nice large clean room and air conditioning. Pool lovely and clean and refreshing since its out of the sun in the late afternoon, though pool waiters were thin on... More

Nicely situated near the lake and pleasant walk into town. Double room was large but comfortable with air con & Fan. Prompt room service & very wide choice of food at breakfast. No issues, and we were very efficiently welcomed at reception and the price was reasonable. Would certainly visit again when in Kandy

We stayed there for one night in Kandy. It is about 15 minutes walk to the town. It is relatively dark at night and there is not much street light, so it's better to bring a torch with you. The room was a suite which featured all the colonial style wooden furniture. It was huge and there was a separate... More
