The hotel is ok, but the position is so wrong! When your driver leaves you at the hotel, you can only go to bed, there is no entertainment, you can't go anywhere because the street is bampy, no tuk-tuks, there is no walking path... My suggestion is to find some hotel closer to Kandy. more

Location is not great, nothing nearby of any interest or use.. except the river that brings more mosquitos. The bathroom particularly badly maintained though clean. Breakfast is good though with very limited variety. Difficult to get taxi at a reasonable cost, as hotel being at an isolated place. Service is very good and staff is always happy and quick to... more

Good ones- Spacious rooms Good service at the restaurant Negative points- Room (My Room 309) The telephone was not working.(There was a polite letter saying it was due to lightening) The master control in the room was broken. Bad quality music. The TV was a very old one with very poor picture quality. Only 11 channels were there but non... more

We stayed at the hotel as part of an organized tour of Sri Lanka. This was the most luxurious of all the hotels we stayed in. The location is next to the Mahaweli River. The public areas are very smart and comfortable. Our room was quite large, well equipped and very comfortable. The restaurant has a good choice of food... more

This hotel is very comfortable and the service from the moment we got there to the moment we left was excellent. Sri Lanka is weird in the fact that they do things 5* hotels should do in terms of service but they dont have 5* accomodation. All hotels in Sri Lanka are at best a good 4* but this place... more

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in Sept 2009. Overall, this is a lovely property with tremendous charm and character. The rooms are spacious and well appointed, and pool area is really beautiful overlooking Mahawali River. Having said that, the hotel desperately needs some new management. Cleanliness standards are quite low, our bathroom floors had dirt on them when... more

Just a brief review. We have stayed her before and just love this hotel. It has a great atmosphere, ideal for relaxing, whilst close to a large city. Used mainly for short stays whilst touring Sri Lanka. The food is the best we have had in Sri Lanka. Rooms are huge and of a great quality. Take time to use... more

Mahaweli Reach Hotel, Kandy. I booked at the last minute and was very lucky to find this hotel. My first choice was the Earls Regency Hotel in kandy but that was fully booked. I had stayed there in 2006 and it was fabulous. The Mahaweli Reach is in a great location just on the Mahaweli river. You can go right... more

Our second stay here so we liked it. nothing amazing but clean and well run. Negotiated our room price on arrival. Good large room, triple, so plenty big enough for extra bed and cot. more
