Spend one night in Kandy and wanted to be in a good place. The room was great and staff very friendly. On the minus, the food. Nothing special and nothing to remember of. Not bad but just no taste, a bit too neutral like if they were afraid to promote the local taste and food.

We stayed in this hotel for two nights during our tour. The room was large and well furnished with a spectacular view over the river where we spent the evenings watching the bats feeding in the trees opposite. The service from the staff was good and the food in the buffet for breakfast and dinner was very good although the... More

Smashing room - large, spotless with a balcony and a nice bathroom complete with bath. Never had my laundtry done so nicely ! Nice pool, food OK but nothing to really write home about. Only thing is that it feels a bit like you could be anywhere - you miss out on feeling like you are in Kandy which is... More

Relaxing and quiet haven out of the city centre. Large rooms with twin queen beds, charming architecture and style and good modern bathrooms - everything worked as it should. Good and friendly service. I enjoyed my stay here. However note that it is outside centre of Kandy and you will need a car and driver or taxi to town centre.... More

We stayed here for two nights in April. It is a large hotel and whilst service is what you'd expect from a five star hotel in some ways it all feels a little impersonal. There were many families there with small children and some older children who ran around the pool unsupervised. The room itself was spacious though sleep was... More

We spent two nights here on our Sri Lanka tour. The service was excellent and the food very good, especially the selection of desserts (the Western-style food was good throughout Sri Lanka, although we also enjoyed eating the hottest local curries at lunchtimes). We had a great room overlooking the river, so we could see the bats flying one way... More

We spent one night at this hotel as part of our trip to Sri Lanka. Initially, we had a good feeling, as the lobby area looked nice enough and the check in process was handled well. We were then taken to our room, a presidential suite, and again we thought nice. But then we entered the room...and as we looked... More

Beautiful hotel and very well maintained. It stands on the edge of the river and the grounds and pool are lovely. Rooms very impressive and spacious but did have to request a move as we were in a room next to some sort of generator. However they did move us without any problems but a bit annoying as they knew...

We finished out trip at the Mahaweli Reach Hotel and what a treat. While we weren't in one of the top hotels, we had a lovely big room with a grat bathroom and even though a view over the car park, lots of trees and flowers so you would not notice.
