We stayed for 3 nights. Our first room (on the lakeside) was pretty and a very good size but a little tired looking. Of more concern several lights didn't work, the sink was blocked, a curtain didn't close, the shower door didn't close, you'd need Arnold Schwarzneger to close the bathroom door, the floors were dirty (try wiping a damp... more

I was spending the night here with my husband who had a business meeting in Kandy. It's a good location to stay to visit The Temple of the Tooth - which is a must see. Go when there is an evening service, a wonderful experience. The room was an adequate size and clean enough. The bathroom was okay - could... more

We just stayed at "Queen's hotel" for two nights in April 2010. I believe this hotel is the most classic hotel in Kandy, dating back to the early 1900's with huge hallways, dining rooms and classy furniture. We booked a double room which was featuring a new aircon and a view to the nice blue pool in the back. Parking... more

Stayed for 3 nights in an air conditioned double room. This place is similar to other English style hotels, like Raffles and The Oriental in Penang, but it is somewhat run down. It was once a quality hotel and some day it will be done up( but you won't then be paying $50/night.) It's lobby is class, this place overall... more

I went to Kandy on business and brought my family along for the trip. We bunked at Queens and found the service to be very cordial throughout our stay. The hotel was centrally located, directly across the street from the Tooth Temple and close to Tuk Tuk and taxi stands. Connected to the Hotel, is nice shop that sells a... more

The ceiling and one entire wall of our room was covered with black mold. The room smelled, the furniture was broken (wardrobe held closed with a wad of toilet paper). The furniture in the lobby is discolored with age and dirt. The place was so bad that we moved to another hotel and sacrificed our money (which they would not... more

This is the second time I have stayed here. It was built in 1844 and it hasnt changed a bit. Dont stay here if you want a modern hotel, but I love the ambiance. It is good value for the price. The food in the kitchen is ok. The bar staff is friendly. I love sitting in the dining room... more

I went there because of the lonely planet recommendation which was too good for what I experienced. I chose one of the cheaper rooms which had no TV or minibar. The room was ok sized facing the garden with the swimming pool, there was an open window above the room door so one could hear all the noise from the... more

Stayed here 1 night . Smell of mothballs in corridors. It was a little shabby , & bedrooms old fashioned.& basic. Ok for 1 night ,you wouldnt want to stay any longer, it badly needs decorating. Location is excellent . A bit noisy at night. more

Built during British colonial times to archetypal design standards... and seems to have barely changed since. The rooms are GOOD VALUE for money and you get a nice feeling of being in the colonies! If you don't know means then you might not appreciate the "hanging in there" nature of the hotel and might notice some of the dilapidation! Central... more
