The hotel and pool have great views of Candy. It does seem to attract a lot of tour groups and beware of getting to breakfast after a big group of European tourists have descended. The staff were very slow at replenishing the food. Rooms were spacious with nice balconies and good bathrooms. Lots of monkeys about, they come into the... More

From our first step into this hotel we were make to feel like honoured guests. A welcome drink and hot flanels to clean ourselves we were then escorted to our rooms. Huge rooms stylishly decorated and a strong warning about keeping your balcony doors shut to keep the monkeys out. Good advise as the monkeys were quickly down to investigate... More

Am pretty surprised by some of the negative reviews about this hotel, we loved it! Spent 2 nights here, it cost around USD$135 p night in at Xmas peak season, and would have to say they were the most comfortable nights of the trip. The good: Large, spacious, modern, clean and comfortable rooms and bed (all of which was rare... More

This hotel has very good location opposite lake. View from the room is very pleasant. Unfortunately management has failed to capitalize on this. Rooms decor is average, ac dosent works well. Things r very old fashioned in it. Room service is terrible - dont expect anything will be delivered to your room. Food quality is poor and there is almost... More

This hotel deserves more than its rated, we saw several hotels in Kandy and this was the best one. Very charming authentic and and modern. Great reflection of srilanka! Staff were great! We were shocked that the reviews were not so great on this hotel but then found out that they recently renovated. Situated oin a hill, you have a... More

Ground level swimming pool with a view of Kandy, open 9am to 9pm. Grey stone stairs with tan tile floors. Restaurant dining open to the... More

This is my first review about a hotel but really need to thank the nice staff. Everyone in the staff was friendly and helpful. Dinner buffet did not have much choice and was more focused on foreign-gusts, which is acceptable as there were very few locals at the hotel. They had a better choice for breakfast. We had to leave... More

We stayed in the Thilanka hotel for 2 nights, in the deluxe room. The hotel exceeded our expectations by far! First, the room was very nice, spacious and clean. Same for the bathroom. We had our own private balcony/garden with a stunning view of Kandy (make sure to keep windows locked for monkeys in the morning). The location of the... More
