Unfortunately stayed in this hotel just one night after visiting Kandy. Very spacious rooms with balcony and giant bed. Since the hotel is big it can be sometimes like a maze to get from your room to the pool or restaurant. It is very romantic to sit near the pool at night since the pool is very nicely illuminated.

I remember the Mahaweli as being the place where I first ate properly after a bout of the "nasties". Never realised that a sandwich by the pool could be so good. Thoroughly enjoyed the hotel - though it was a bit of a route march from our (v. good) room to everywhere else - and some additional signposting would have... More

Unfortunately we only stayed for one night in this hotel. We had two adjoining rooms which were very spacious and when interconnecting door was open it was like having a suite. The flowers were lovely, the staff friendly and very smart. All very authentic!

As a vegetarian i always have difficulty finding stuff to eat on buffet style dining even in the best of hotels but it was not the case at Mahaweli reach where there... More

We stayed 1 night after long day from Sigiriya, hotel is good, clear and comfy but it was too crowded. food was good and staff are friendly but as i said, they were very busy to handle many guests. Wifi is available only at the lobby and against charges.

We stayed there for 3 night during our 8 days trip in Sri Lanka. The hotel is very pleasant & service was very good. We also appreciated the "old England touch" of this hotel. On the plus side the room was big and clean, but we encountered building work down the corridor. We enjoyed the nice swimming pool surrounded by... More

After travelling through the Dambulla Rock temple in the heat and humidity, it's a relief to find ourselves settled into a nicely appointed establishment. The staff, immaculately attired, handled our check-in courteously and professionally. There was nothing that I could find fault with, except for one - while I was told it was a non-smoking room, and later found it... More
