We stayed ata number of guesthouses in Kandy during our vacation and this was the last stay and can happily say we kept the best until last. It is a little out of the way up Riverdale Road but most Tuc Tuc drivers knew the directions and the view and accommodation are worth it. The owner Dudley was there to... More

Really loved staying here, Dudley, the owner is a distinguished gentleman and he and his wife cook up some really delicious gourmet Sri Lankan food if you like as well! While breakfast is included (a breakfast fit for royalty) dinner is not, so just keep in mind that that will run you about $16 US if I remember correctly. But... More

Planned on staying only 2 nights, but after feeling right at home and enjoying the wonderful food, we decided to stay a third night. Amazing hospitality and we couldn't have asked for a more welcoming home to spend our first time in Kandy at. Can not wait to return.

We visited the hotel in November 2012. Its situated on a hill and about 10 minutes drive from city center. The location is superb. Hotels is well maintained and has a unique architecture which makes for a very pleasant stay. Even if the weather is hot, once you enter the rooms its really cool without air-conditioning.

We visited regent lodge for a short period but wish we could have spent longer with them! Dudley and his wife were so friendly and nothing was too much hard work for them. You really felt as though you were part of the family! The hotel itself is bright and airy, very peaceful and quiet and a delicious breakfast. We... More

During my 2 months stay in Sri Lanka this was my favourite hotel in a beautiful position overlooking Kandy. The owners have created a beautiful, welcoming, boutique hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was delightful. Dudley even took us to the station to take the very early train to Colombo!! I will be back and will always look forward... More

A bit out in the sticks - if you're staying here for any lenght of time this might be a bit inconvenient. V friendly staff and welcoming - both owner and manager will talk cricket for hours. Nicely (and tastefully) furnished sitting room - and good balcony where you can sit with a pot of afternoon tea and a book... More
