Hotel was under construction so the reception was still looking old and shabby, the way to go to our room was confusing as it involves two different elevators and not so well laid out corridors. Room was new but strip of marching ants were all around - floor and refreshment tray, layout of the room was a bit weird bathroom... More

Walking distance to the sacred Temple of Tooth. they have spacious rooms that are very clean. Too bad that we couldn't use the balcony because of the monkeys that kept on... More

We visited this hotel for a 1 night stay during a 2 week holiday in Sri Lanka. As we'd booked to stay in a beach resort we did a 2 day, 1 night trip to visit the various attractions of central Sri Lanka and visit Kandy. The hotel was booked by our local guide Indika and we were very pleased... More

The reception does not function after 12am calls are forwarded to the guard room. There is no hot water or room service after 12 am. Would be nice to have fresh... More

We entered this hotel and initial impression was quite favourable. Two bell boys grabbed our bags following receipt of our room key- room 907 from memory. We entered an old lift, reminiscent of those seen in old British films that had folding steel doors that could easily take a finger off . Both these folding doors had to be secured... More

Stayed here for 6 nights in March. We are frequent visitors to Kandy and this was our first stay in Thilanka. I would say that it is an excellent stopover hotel with spacious, clean rooms and our room had the most fabulous views. The restaurant is good, I found the food to be of an excellent standard with plenty of... More
