Our guide had booked us the cheaper room (located on the first floor). It was awful! The room smelt, the curtains stained and the bathroom, mouldy. The room was really old and runned down. Seeing my displeasure, our guide moved us to another room on the ground floor near the pool. This room is much newer. It has a small... more

We stayed for just one night at the ThiLanka, and to be honest it was ok, although I don't think I'd like to stay for more than that. En-route to our room on the top floor, we passed some fantastic looking suites, sadly we weren't staying in one as the hotel had been booked by our tour guide! Our room... more

We planned to stay 2 days here but left after 1 night. We had asked for the cheaper non-aircon rooms as it's not cold up the hill and we prefer a fan anyway. We still paid $60 for what was the worst night in our Sri Lanka trip. The room was old and tired with ill fitting door and curtains.... more

Rooms were so dark that we had to use a torch to read in bed! We were in a room on the same level as the pool, I believe the newer rooms are better. Food was terrible - buffet for breakfast and dinner, neither of which was appetising, although breakfast did have omellettes cooked to order, which at least were... more

The service at the Thilanka was very good and the staff were very attentive; whether it was something for the room,... more

We booked this hotel for a 1 night stop over as part of a 2 day tour we chose the hotel because it was reasonably priced and in the heart of Kandy we didnt see the point in paying out for 5 star luxury if we were not going to be there long enough to use the facilities your paying... more

Hotel Thilanka has an amazing position high up overlooking the lake of Kandy. We took one of the suite rooms which was very reasonabely priced. The room has an amazing view over the lake which is great even at night when all the lights go on. The suite rooms are HUGE! so much space for a change rather than being... more
