Beautiful scenery from the terrace and restaurant.
Gym was very small and dirty
5.0 / 5.0
Sehr schöne und saubere Unterkunft mit sehr leckerem Frühstück. Das Personal war super freundlich und sehr bemüht. Die Unterkunft hat eine familiäre Atmosphäre.
Es gibt keinen kostenlosen Shuttle zum Bus-/Bahnhof
Die Unterkunft ist etwas abgelegen und man kann nicht mal einfach in die Stadt laufen. Man kann zwar das Tuktuk der Unterkunft nutzen (600rp), aber es dauert schon mal bis der Fahrer da ist und man los kommt.

What to say, this accomodation is really exceptional. Not only are the rooms 100% clean and spacious, but the staff is just so welcoming, warm and friendly. The pool is very refreshing with the hot weather. The breakfast was very diverse every day and there was something for every taste. We also had our dinners here which was very tasty, I highly recommend to try it! The dinner with the view on the sunset over the mountains is just stunning. The location is also amazing, a few minutes from the city center but also quiet with beautiful views on the mountains. We got so much help by the owners with my injured leg and they treated me like family. It was a pleasure staying in the castle and I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you for everything.
Absolutely nothing, everything was perfect!

The staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, including preparing a special breakfast and cake for our son’s birthday. The rooms were very clean. The view of Kandy/the mountains was spectacular. Our kids also liked the little play area.
There were a few parts of the hotel that could have been tidier, including the baby pool part of the pool which needed to be cleaned more thoroughly.

Tolle Lage außerhalb des Trubels von Kandy, mit dem Tuktuk sind es ca. 10min in die Stadt.
Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und erfüllt jeden Wunsch. Zimmer sind stilvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber, tolle Pflegeprodukte im Bad.
Tolles Bett und wunderschöner Ausblick aus dem Zimmer.
Das Frühstück war toll und beinhaltete auch ein sri-lankisches Dhal mit String Hoppers.
Fahrer für eine Tuktuk Rundfahrt wurde günstig für uns organisiert.

Such a great experience. A warm welcome, an example of top hospitality. At only 10min tuktuk drive from the city center, in the peace and quiet of the mountains around Kandy, it proved to be the perfect Place. Great food, great rooms and a fantastic crew. All the information and support you need for your travels is available.
Being a family business, the succeed to give you the family feeling.

From the moment we arrived the staff couldn't do enough, the room was spotless with fantastic views, food was superb,

3.5 / 5.0
The room was clean and comfortable. Nice bathroom as well.
The breakfast was good and filling.
Nice view from the balconies. Some good facilities such as a swimming-pool and a pool table.
Some nice staff.
The pictures look better on booking.com than in real.
Parking is an issue as the car park is just an alley way where you can fit about 4 cars. If you have a car, prepare yourself to be disturbed to move your car so that someone else can leave or to wait for someone else to move their car so you can leave. I found this pretty annoying to say the least.
At the end of the day, the water of the swimming-pool was not very clear and looked not clean. The next morning it was the same and it was not cleaned overnight. As a result we didn't use the swimming-pool.
Location: it's not walking distance to the town centre

Tomuto ubytování není opravdu co vytknout, vše bylo čisté, voňavé a velmi pohodlné a velmi vkusně vybavené. A za opravdu skvělou cenu. Hodně lidí psalo, že se sem nedá moc dobře dostat, s tím úplně nesouhlasím, dostali jsme sem úplně normálně až ke vchodu hotelu. Je to na sice vysoko, ale tuk tuk vás úplně v klidu dopraví nahoru i dolů. Který vám hotel je schopný zajistit. Je to chvilka než se dostanete do centra. A díky tomu, že je to dál od centra je tam naprostý klid pro relax po dlouhém dni. Jsme na Srí lance po druhé a toto je opravdu jeden z nejlepších hotelů. Hotel vlastní mladý pár, který jen vám vždy při ruce, opravdu vám nebude nic chybět. Děkujeme

The first thing that sets this place apart is the team that made this stay special. We felt very welcome and taken care of from the first minute. All meals were coordinated with our schedule, pick-ups arranged, and the general atmosphere created by the family who runs the place was most friendly and helpful. The location is not central, and getting there requires going up a pretty steep road, but it's only 15 minutes by tuk-tuk to the centre of Kandy. It's quiet, and the views of the hills in the mist from the balcony, where the dining area is, are amazing. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, including deliciously smelling toiletries.
One thing we found slightly inconvenient was the large windows in the room that directly overlook the passageway. Although they are covered with one-way film, they remain semi-transparent when the lights are on inside. As a result, one has to keep the windows closed at all times, which is regrettable given the scenic views.

We thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of our stay here. The staff were more than helpful. They even invited us to join their private NYE party! The room was luxurious and spacious and comfortable.

3.5 / 5.0
We liked the beautiful view from the terrace. The room was comfortble and furniture was the fanciest we had seen during our Sri Lanka trip.
The room we booked was supposed to have a balcony, but it only had a large window that connects to a shared terrace used by other guests and hotel staff, so there is not much privacy. Hotel manager explained to us that there is a balcony, just not private.
There also were 4 A/C units just outside our window making quite lot of noise day and night.
Finally, for some reason we often felt observed by the hotel staff. This has never happened to us at any other accomodation and felt quite unnverving at times.
5.0 / 5.0
The hosts were incredibly friendly and forthcoming. The Hotel is huge, well equipped, comfortable and clean. The rooms also were very clean and had everything one could need. The breakfast had a great variety and was very tasty. It is located in the hills so you have a great view over the mountains. The price was very good for a hotel like this. Would recommend it to everyone.

Absolument parfait !
Accueil chaleureux et personnel au petit soin tout le long du séjour, petit déjeuner exceptionnel et à la convenance du client, de même pour les repas.
La chambre était parfaite avec un lit très confortable et une très jolie vue, le tout dans un calme absolu.
L'hôtel dispose de tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin pour se divertir, piscine, billard, jeux d'échecs, etc...
Nous recommandons cet établissement à toute personne se rendant à Kandy !

Отличные завтраки, великолепный вид из окна люкса
Достаточно тяжело добрать без транспорта, иногда в номере люкс пахнет кухней
