Before I arrived I had read some reviews about how the place was nice but the owner was rude. I have to say, I found the complete opposite. From the moment we arrived, Faisal was friendly and helpful. When I explained how our trip was limited through time worries, he helped to organise us and recommended a change in itinerary... More

Having read all the positive reviews on trip advisor and in the lonely planet we decided to give Sharon inn a go. Unfortunatey it did not live up to expectations. Upon arrival the owner was no way near as welcoming as others we have met along our way in Sri Lanka. I was shown a very basic room and the... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in May, during Vesak Poya. I was very please with the cleanliness if the hotel. The halls are covered in drawings done by the owners children at all very young ages, it is adorable and gives the hotel a real family/home feel. The rooms were lovely and the beds are really comfortable. The rooms... More

A great place to stay in Kandy with helpful owners, a German lady and her Sri Lankan husband. As other reviewers have said the prices are towards the top end end for guesthouses - but then the quality is too. The rooms are very clean and the food is excellent with people flocking in from outside for the evening buffet.... More

Even if you choose not to stay here, you must eat here! The food was incredible and freshly prepared every day. Dinner was served buffet style ( but not 'cooked last week and kept luke warm' type of buffet) with a choice of about 15 typical Sri Lankan dishes all explained by the owner. Lovely girl who serves all the... More

Sharon Inn is a beautifully clean, well located and reasonably priced guest house. Unlike some of the other places we have stayed in Sri Lanka, it really felt like a home and so well cared for. It was fantastic! The owners are kind, courteous and so welcoming. In contrast to some of the comments here, we felt very welcome and... More

I spent three days in Kandy and felt at home at Sharon Inn. Very friendly personal, A+ cuisine (best rice & curry I had in Sri Lanka) and Mr Faiesz who helped me a lot and managed even to find a room in Ella in the impossible period of New Year. Thank you all! Seda Toksoy from Istanbul

This was the 2nd of 4 places we stayed in Sri Lanka, and one of the cleanest. We chose an airconditioned room - it was large and airy , has a balcony where you can sit, and a large bathroom. The Sri Lankan buffet dinner consists of a good variety of food and very delicious, We ate one other buffet... More

We stayed at the Sharon Inn from April 1-4, 2013. The best things I can say about this hotel have already been said millions of times in other peoples' reviews: the food is delicious, the beds are comfortable and the place is very clean. These were huge pluses - but there were a number of drawbacks that kept me from... More

The rooms on the top floor are amazing with an stunning view to the city. Besides there's an entrance to the top terrace that gives you a 360 view. A bit pricey but totally worth it for a relaxed, safe good night sleep. Besides they arrange dinners for 1100 R which are delish with a great service!!
