How can a hotel serve up average food on a buffet basis and rate itself 5 star.Otherwise clean and quiet bedrooms, pleasant communal areas, nice swimming pool, friendly staff but a bit dated. more

This is one of the two official 5-star hotels in Kandy, but in my opinion, it is at best 3-4 star according to international standard. Situated within 2 miles from Kandy centre, it faced Mahaweli river and the traffic beyond -- still a good base for visiting Kandy. Our 3rd floor bedroom was quite spacious with a balcony overlooking the... more

On the outskirts of Kandy (about 15 minutes to centre), this is a large hotel, clealry used for conferences as well as leisure travellers. Rooms were spacious, but the restaurant was poor. The chef seems to have little idea on originality, or presentation. Disappointing. more

Our two night stay at Mahweli Reach was a most enjoyable experience. We found the staff friendly, helpful & attentive and our room spacious and bright. (Certainly not shabby as mentioned in some reviews) The restaurant was attractive, particularly the side that overlooked the pool & the meals were all perfectly acceptable. We found the hotel a good base for... more

After spending a lovely 4 nights at this warm,friendly hotel and experiencing superb cuisine it ended with us having 6000rupees stolen from my hand bag whilst having a spa treatment,which wasn't noticed until the following day getting ready for transit to our next hotel.The management were informed of this and questioned the masseur,which she of coarse denied.We haven't had any... more

My wife and I were booked in for 4 nights. The hotel is a good base for exploring central Sri Lanka if you don't want to be in and out of a suitcase at a different location every night. Cannot get into Kandy City without transport, the roads are dark and poorly maintained. However, the hotel provided a car and... more

Booked as a package through Jetwing in Colombo. Not sure if this is a "jetwing" hotel, but they booked it for us. The hotel itself is an older, British colonial building that no doubt was stunning in it's hey day. Problem is, that hey day would of been about 1920. It's been refurbished since then but even that was sometime... more

We stayed here because it was close to relatives we were visiting and it was very convenient. However, it was probably the least attractive and interesting of all the hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. There is nothing really wrong with it, it has large rooms, a big swmming pool, a wide range of food choices and helpful staff.... more
