Amidst the hustle and bustle of Kandy we stayed at this amazing Boutique hotel in the hills overlooking Kandy called Theva. Nothing was too much trouble. Arriving mid afternoon they rustled up an amazing late lunch. The evening meal was superb and the breakfasts 'wonderful'. The home-made jams and marmalade . . .a real treat. In fact I raved so...

My husband and I were in Sri Lanka for a week over Easter staying in Wadduwa and had the opportunity to visit Kandy and stay at Theva for a night. The hotel was recommended by the hotel manager of our hotel in Wadduwa (Serene Pavillions) and from the minute I saw the website I knew it was "my" kind of... More

I am never quite sure whether to trust TripAdvisor reviews or not - who's the reviewer, do I trust them etc etc. In case you trust me, I'd say this place is average but fine for a night. Room was basic, and could do with a refurb. Apart from the cockroach, it was clean, and quiet for a night. Dinner... More

This nice small place offers a fanatastic view of Kandy as it is located a couply of kms outside high on a hill overlooking the city. They offer excellent food and the staff are extremely accommodating, friendly and always there for you. A notable exception is the manager who never smiles and may be efficient, but definitely not friendly. On... More

We got the suite with a jacuzzi and gorgeous panoramic views of Kandy town. Unfortunately, the jacuzzi was "broken"; seemed like the water wouldn't come out of the showerhead. Russell, the manager, sent a couple of the guys to try to fix it, but to no avail. In the end, we resorted to a little MacGyver-ing and rerouted the water... More

Great place. Room was fantastic, really well laid out. Views over other side of kandy outstanding and you get to see a brilliant sunset. They have an infinity pool which was good to just sit in and admire the views Food and service were excellent. So much attention to detail. If you are thinking of staying here, bear in mind... More

We stayed here for one night, and enjoyed a fabulous dinner and breakfast. The range of food was great including the best local produce, and well executed international cuisine - a comparative rarity in Sri Lanka. We loved our suite as well - lots of space and facitlities should you wish to have a prvate meal for a small group,... More
