Central Province Boutique Hotels

"This is a lovely clean hotel, with fantastic staff who were friendly and welcoming. A perfect place to stay when your in Kandy. "

"The building looks lovely and the grounds are beautiful BUT the room wasn’t great , the bathroom had an old shower curtain and the shower was above the bath. The bed was uncomfortable and the room was small and dark. it was my birthday and there was no mention of this even though my husband had given advanced information. The buffet and dining room looked spectacular but the food quality wasn’t what we were expecting given the visual wow factor. My least favourite hotel whilst staying in Sri Lanka. "

"Clean room , good location, great views over Kandy from our room and the rooftop bar and swimming pool. Great breakfast."

"Nice and clean hotell. Friendly staff and outdoor area was good but a bit small. Did not try the pool but looked good enough. Also liked the location. "

"This is a beautiful hotel and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Rooms were lovely and the rooftop pool and bar were great additions. The buffet breakfast was excellent too. Would definitely recommend. "

"Amazing location up in the hills, excellent staff and incredible hospitality. Best hotel in Kandy area. "

"Lovely welcoming staff at reception! Super quiet room except for wonderful birdsong in the morning. Beautiful old furniture, artefacts , brass lift, wooden flooring …. Nice swimming pool too! "

"The room "

"We booked 3 nights in a deluxe double room - if that was the case I dread to think what their standard rooms were like. Our room was damp and mouldy. Our clothes in the suitcases smelt damp. The room had big cobwebs everywhere. The ceiling fan was filthy. The bathroom had mould and the toilet brush was disgusting. The listing said it had mosquito nets but this was not the case. The menu for dinner was limited with a lot of items unavailable. Breakfast was not good either again limited options and the cooked items were cold. Of course I discussed the room situation with the staff but there wasn’t the option to move. The staff did their best with organising tuk tuks and transfer to Negombo which we were thankful for. We decided to move on a day/night early to get away from the mould and damp. The above makes us sound like divas but that is not the case. We are seasoned travellers and accept that accommodation in the forest/jungle of Sigiriya would not be 5 star especially when they have a lot of rain, but we would like to think the listing on this site would be representative of what we would get. By all accounts there are better places to stay close by, perhaps I didn’t look closely enough. Don’t make the same mistake we did!"
