This Hotel was horrible. We only stayed in the hotel for one night as we done a stopover trip. There were mice running around the dinning room and all the staff knew. When we told the staff they just laughted at us. Even the manager didn't care. The rooms were ok and but the food was horrible.I would never recommend... more

Only stayed for one night as part of a tour. I got the impression that a lot of clients were passing through and only staying for one or two nights. The hotel isn't 5 Star, but as we had only paid £80 (Sterling) for a two day trip, including a one night Half-Board stay, I can't say I was expecting... more

You pay three star prices and you get a good three star hotel - it is NOT a five star hotel by any international standard as it seems to advertise on websites such as expedia. If you hold that thought in your head you will probably not be disappointed. If you are expecting to get a five star hotel on... more

We stayed here as part of a tour of Sri Lanka. The hotel is very pleasant, and nicely positioned on the river. I feel that the hotel trades on its former splendeur, and has not quite kept up. There was a very large wedding taking place when we were there, very noisy, very colourful, and I am sure very expenisve!... more

Stayed at Mahaweli Reach as one of five hotels on a tour/beach holiday. Rooms were hugh, a/c plus ceiling fan were effective but the electrics in the room needed to be treated with care regarding badly wired and loose plugs/sockets. Our bathroom can only be described as poor, no pressure in the shower, the bath had a number of large... more

I had agonised over a choice of hotel after reading all the TripAdvisor reports on hotels in Kandy. The Mahaweli Reach seemed to be by a narrow margin the better choice. I understand why - the hotel is of a reasonable standard, although the rooms are just about ready for a remodel. The rooms were large, the bathrooms showed their... more
