Schönes Kolonialhaus mit perfektem Service

Als Ausgangspunkt für das Elefant Freedom Projekt perfekt. Hervorragender zuvorkommender Service, gutes Restaurant. Das Zimmer sehr schön.

Leider fanden gerade Bauarbeiten statt, was die Ruhe in unserem Zimmer störte. Unserer Bitte nach einem ruhigeren Zimmer, in Entfernung von der Baustelle wurde sofort entsprochen. Insofern eine insgesamt sehr runde Erfahrung

Schöner Stop auf der Durchreise

sehr schönes Kolonialstil Anwesen auf einem Hügel oberhalb der quirligen Stadt - daher ruhig, impossante Auffahrt, geschmackvoll restauriert und erweitert, schönes Ambiente, gutes Essen exquisiter Service

derzeit sind noch Bauarbeiten an einer Partylocation --daher etwas Baulärm; ausserdem sollte man wissen, dass es kein richtiges Urlaubshotel ist ( in der näheren Umgebung gibt es ohnehin nichts interessantes für Touristen) Es ist mehr eine Location für Events oder Hochzeitsfeiern. Das kann störend sein, wenn 100 Partygäste am Pool oder im Garten Fotos machen und daher das Hotel nur eingeschränkt nutzbar ist. Wir persönlich fanden es interessant eine singalesische Hochzeit mitzuerleben -- im Zimmer war es trotzdem ruhig, da wir geschickterweise im Nebenhaus untergebracht waren

Staff were amazing and incredibly helpful, especially Rasool. The food was very good, in particular the dinners. We ate

The hotel is immaculately restored from a former residence, and extended in a sympathetic way to match the original. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The pool is small but perfect for the size of the hotel.

There is a new extension along the side being built which is too close to the original building, however this is for wedding events and we were told that when these events are taking place the whole hotel is likely to be booked out by the wedding guests.

Once you enter the property is like stepping back in time, where modernity mixes with history in a very relaxing atmosphere, the staff is young and willing to go above and beyond of your expectation, nothing is impossible, a smile is guaranteed, bed are comfortable and rooms are super well equipped and really chic, food is very good and we cannot wait to come back good job guys!!! Wish all the best

We liked everything

Amazing place with a nice restaurant

The hotel is a great escape from a busy city. We love the colonial architecture and its comfort. The staff was nice, particularly the restaurant staff who took extra care of our meals. Mr. Brian was an amazing person who listened to our meal requests.

It's just a minor thing. The frant staff seems to not be aware of Booking.com booking and had a slight delay during the checkout.

Cooking up a Grand Time!

The hotel is very grand and comfortable. The staff were excellent. They arranged a Sri Lankan food cooking class for us, even though they had a very large organised party going on at the same time.

Beautiful historical property to relax and rest.

Stunning and quiet property in the heart of a busy city! We were welcomed by the stuff with some drinks and everyone took a lot of care of us and our luggage. The beds were the best we had during our 2 months Sri Lanka stay 😊

It was all great!

It lives up to its name, Grand indeed. It was a beautiful and charming hotel with kind and courteous staff.

The restoration of the century old property was done exceptionally well, from the intricate tile floors, to the custom wood work, and the perfectly mannered gardens, it’s an oasis of beauty.

Beautiful Walawwa!

The property is absolutely mesmerizing and beautiful! It is a colonial design home turned into a boutique hotel. It’s gorgeous and the services is absolutely amazing. The best service came from Rasool in particular who gave us a full tour of the property while telling us the history and the evolution of the building. I highly recommend this stay and can’t wait to be back soon!

You don't want to leave once you've experienced it's magic.

This boutique hotel has an amazing history, it used to be a private residence 100 years ago. Most of the flooring tiles are original, the place has been beautifully restored, the rooms are incredible and very cozy, their beds are comfortable. I don't want to give away the story behind the beauty of this building but do stay there and ask them for a little tour around. It's absolutely fantastic.

The fact that we couldn't stay more than one night...

The grand Grand Walawwa for special occasions

This is easily one of the most beautiful boutique hotels I've stayed at. Recently renovated, no expense has been spared to bring the Colonial mansion back to life. The attention to detail is remarkable. All the services are extraordinary and if I ever have a special occasion in Sri Lanka it will be at the Grand Walawwa.

A little tricky to find, but then, most things are in Sri Lanka if you are both driving and navigating on your own. 🥰

Stay in this beautiful hotel with the friendliest and most helpful staff team!

Beautiful property, stylishly decorated. The WOW factor is off the charts with this hotel. The hotel is breathtaking from every angle and point of view. In addition to being stunning visually, the rooms were very spacious and the shower was awesome (water pressure was fantastic) While I was blown away by the hotels architecture and design, the service surpassed that further. Mr. Pragash and his team took great care of us, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was immaculate. An example of this, we had reserved an elephant experience in pinnawala for the morning, and I forgot to pack towels as requested by the experience. Mr. Pragash and his team were kind enough to offer us to borrow a few of their towels for the experience. I would be remissed if I didn't mention the food, BREAKFAST EXPERIENCE is a must. I enjoyed my string hopper and kiri hothi.

Not much to dislike. This hotel is a place that you stay-in and enjoy. It is very private and feels like an oasis in a bustling city. With that, outside of the hotel, we aren't sure if there is much to do in the immediate kegalle city.
