Very nice colonial style hotel. Stunning view behind on the top of the hill. Very calm which is nice since Kandy is noisy. Room are decorated with style. Bed is confortable. Very warm welcome and service with a lots of support to organize my day. Breakfast a bit light and not diversified and the hotel is obviously far from city center.

Wonderful rooms and hospitality overlooking the city. Would highly recommend. The hotel manager was fantastic and very accommodating. Meals were good. We were a large party and had much of the hotel to ourselves in the main building (there is another across the street).

All rooms had balconies with a pleasant view. We saw lots of monkeys frolicking on the roofs of adjacent buildings. Not much in the way of grounds or other facilities but the lobby was comfortable.

The Richmond House was one of the best venues we stayed at during our visit to Sri Lanka. The staff was wonderful and made sure we saw what we wanted to see during our stay. We were able to book the car and driver while we stayed and he went above and beyond in getting us to our next destination. Very beautiful and worth every penny we spent- and very reasonable in prices. Fabulous experience and recommend the establishment to anyone wishing to stay in Kandy.

Lovely room with great views of Kandy. Excellent food with friendly staff. Only problem is steep narrow road to hotel and bit out of the way. We had a driver with car so was OK

Great view of Kandy and the surrounding mountains from the balcony. A little tired looking overall but still a nice and interesting building. Very comfy beds. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and also had a nice dinner there one evening. A bit of a mission getting up and down the hill but we were in a car so it wasn’t a problem for us. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Large spacious rooms and very friendly staff. We got a free upgrade to a suite which was huge and had spectacular views over the valley in Kandy. The room had everything needed and was very comfortable. Good selection at breakfast with staff always on hand to assist. Very close to Kandy so handy for trips around the area.

It was a great location and staff are friendly and helpful. There are things to be refined in the rooms, needs a little bit of maintenance. Overall good

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel which has a lovely view over Kandy. It’s a bit hard to get to, but OK by tuk tuk or car. It would be a long walk into town and an extreme climb back. The staff were very friendly and always trying to please.

A boutique hotel with a colonial touch. The hotel is located in a residential area on a hill, a short tuk tuk ride away from the city. Nuwan from the hotel emailed me confirming the booking and the directions to the hotel. The staff is very courteous and helpful and communicated with just manageable English. The room was spacious, clean and had a lovely view of the hills, especially the morning fog/ mist and the evening setting sun. The room has a refrigerator and tea/coffee kettle, the TV had more than 100 channels and wifi was good. The bed was comfortable. Considering the secluded location, we had opted for half board. The food was average but the service exceptional. Will recommend it for people who want a bit of solitude yet stay near the city.

The hotel itself is hard to get to since its on a really narrow winding hill road. However , the views from the balcony are completely spectacular ( we had 2 suites) . It came with breakfast and dinner included and both were fairly standard. Wifi was weak to the point of not working , in the suites. The rooms and bathrooms were completely massive and filled with gorgeous furniture. Highly recommend this hotel for the grand experience. Price was fairly reasonable too for the suites. We did have to kill one spider in the bathroom but as seasoned travelers it didnt affect us too much :)

We stayed 4 days. Hotel is on top of a hill and a bit difficult to find or get to the centre of the city but the location is in a beautiful surrounding and the view over Kandy from here are excellent. The room we booked was stunning end we even had a small garden. Food and staff at this hotel are excellent. You can arrange trips from the hotel although this will be a more expensive option than trying to arrange tours from other places in the city.

Hotel staff were lovely and dropped us in town everyday as it's difficult to get a tuk tuk up in the hills. The whole place does feel a bit colonial and dated but if you're looking for something different then it's great. We got upgraded to the queens suite which had a beautiful terrace and was huge. Breakfast was ok and you have a choice of what you want.

Vere nice hotel staff, big rooms. The building has lots of nice details. Unfortunately a bit outside of kandy -> suitable for People with driver or car. The bathroom was not 100% clean but ok. The dinner and breakfast was just great and srilankian!!

This hotel is up on one of the hills surrounding kandy, so it's a bit quieter and cooler than being more central. Our room and balcony had gorgeous views over the town. The staff are lovely too

Lovely hotel, quite far from Kandy but amazing views. The food wasn't great, we'd recommend you eat elsewhere. The staff were wonderful, the only downside was the driver we had to Dalhousie (hotel driver) who was the worst we had during our time in Sri Lanka.
