Just read the other reviews and had to double check that we were all speaking about the same place. We stayed here for one night as part of a tour. It was arranged by our driver who was aware that it was my husbands birthday. We were shown to our room where they had decorated the room with a sign... more

Stayed here for the second time and having previously given a good review I feel a need to balance that out having had a terrible room, poor service and witnessed the poor food. more

I am so surprised to see such great reviews about this place, honestly... stunned! We arranged 2 nights hereduring the Perhera festival and were shown a brochure by a tour operator which made it look like a 5 star hotel. After roughing it in some cheap guesthouses we were really looking forward to some luxury and at $70 a night,... more

We stopped at the Thilanka for one night as part of a tour. We had two rooms and these were great. Both rooms were on the top floor and we (the parents) had a corner room (Room 690 I think), so we not only had great views from the balcony but also to the left over the swimming pool. We... more

Date of visit: 21st July 2008 We only stayed at the Thilanka for one night, based on a personal recommendation by our driver/guide Sunil. It was perfect for our needs, being on the hill above Kandy, but close to the city, the Temple of the Tooth and the venue for one of the best Kandyan dance groups. Our room was... more

Stayed at the hotel with my brother and sister in law whilst on a tour around Sri Lanka. The hotel was booked for us by our tour guide Upul from Sri Lanka Tailored Tours and we were very happy with his choice. The rooms were clean and comfortable and of a good standard which was the same as the rest... more

We stayed in this hotel one night on a trip to Kandy (802). Must say I liked this hotel a lot, despite a few glitches (top&tailed bedsheets, no kettle, and expensive drinks). The interior decor was really good. Our room had a great view across the city, and this hotel has one of the most dramatically positioned swimming pools anywhere.... more

Our room in the Thilanka hotel was nearly fantastic. The room was spacious and nicely furnished but best of all was the amazing view over Kandy. I could sit in bed and stare through the huge double doors that led onto the balcony and gaze at the spectacle outside - Wow!!! The only downside was the bath. The bathroom itself... more

We stayed in the honeymoon suite and it definitely wasn't worth the money. OK hotel, clean and a good base but a bit basic and the food was hit and miss. more

The Thilanka has a great position and the view of Kandy is magnificiaent. The dining room is clean and modern with art on the walls. The food is good and varied. The bar is comfortable, good service, you can get a decent plate of chips (if yoyu don't fancy a proper meal) and the beers are good too. The only... more
