A lot of people on this site have been negative about Queen's - we loved it. It's beautiful and historic, and the service is great. Sure, it could do with a spot of paint in a few places, and if you look for it, there's a bit that could do with repair, but the feeling of history and the beauty... More

We stayed in the Queen's hotel for two night, loved the hotel, very little has changed since it was built. period furniture ornate rooms large bathrooms, staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurants are good although there are plenty of good ones outside the hotel. We had a room fronting the lake and street very noisy from 5am onwards, if we... More

Buffet was good but not much else. If you want to relax and have a drink by the pool forget it. Very few loungers and chairs and those that were there were so dirty there were ant nests in them. No staff around for towels and after walking to the bar to get our own drinks there was noone there... More

I don't know what all the fuss is about. I almost didn't stay here because of reviews on trip advisor. The staff were friendly smiling and helpful. It cost $80 walk in rate which for the glamorous old world room I got was a bargain. Electricity worked, there was wifi in the room and had no problems with hot water... More

This is a high class hotel, an amazing colonial time-piece. We had a clean, spacious and airy room overlooking the swimming pool at the back, which cut out the street noise and the 5 a.m. wake-up call from the temple. Tea-making facilities, TV and fan and air-con were all very welcome. The restaurant was magnificent, and the food lovely -... More

We stayed here for 3days at the end of March. Unfortunately we were put in a room at the front of the hotel which was very noisy - it starts at around 4am with the birds and carries on from chanting at the Mosque next door and then the traffic. The room and bathroom was very dated. However we had... More

We stayed here for 1 night. Our driver managed to get us booked in here at very short notice after we could not find the B&B we had booked into. The reception staff were not particularly friendly. The room was quite large, but not completely clean. I managed to have a shower when we arrived, but when my husband got... More

This hotel is situated next to the lake in Kandy opposite Temple of the Tooth. The hotel its self was beautiful. Unfortunately the rooms were tired, the bathrooms especially. The pool was lovely as was the garden, however in trying to keep it tidy the pool guy kept sweeping the petals all day, even in between our chairs and table... More

PROS - Beautiful, old colonial building, attentive & helpful staff, location is directly beside the Temple of the Tooth and across from the lake. Pool was a fantastic bonus at the end of a hot day - opens to a small lounge/bar. Awesome buffet breakfast! CONS - Needs updating, a bit dingy for $90 +/night, bring earplugs if you're a... More
