Myself and my partner stayed in Amaya Hills right at the end of May. The hotel is not actually in the city of Kandy as such, its in the wider area. The drive up to the hotel is pretty hairy (even by Sri Lankan standards!) on a single track road and buses frequently come flying up blind bends. If you... More

Location wise Amaya hills is excellent, staff is very polite but service wise slow. Rooms are average and small too. A complementary bottle of water was provided to us after repeated reminders. Staff does not bother to check which guests stay for more than a night leading to rooms not being attended too. Too expensive .

We were group of friends holidaying in srilanka. The ambience and location of the hotel is very good. Average breakfast, nice pool. Good service by staff, all were very pleasant. The approach road to the hotel is terrible and once you are in the hotel you can forget about exploring the town by foot. Good walks around the hotel though.
