Good location, rooms very clean, with modern decor and food very good and freshly cooked Sri Lankan but limited menu. Doesn't serve food or snacks during the day. Not all balconies have a good view, but rooms are a moderate size with sky news TV. Internet was free but limited to one laptop for the whole hotel. Wireless did not... more

Average breakfast. Very good dinner, though. A good variety of dishes buffet style. However, some dishes are too salty (seems to be Kandy style), and some are western style. Not spicy enough. Accomodations are very comfortable with hot water and large rooms. The biggest gripe is that everyone who works here seems depressed, and that affects the experience. more

Stayed for 4 nights with a 2year-old child in December. Absolutely loved the place. The owners, Sue and Fayaz, are very helpful and accommodating. Got special child menu (vegetable soup and pasta). The best food we tried in Sri Lanka. Spotless clean. The best views are from rooms #7 and 9 and from the rooftop garden. Very cozy! Feels like... more

Sincerely recommended place: Sharon inn has simple and clean rooms: Excellent views over the lake, the city and the temple. Owners and staff are friendly and the service is great: if you need help with your onward trip (accomodation, transport) Faiesz will surely help you out. The dinner is very nice, certainly in my Sri Lankan Dinner top 3. more

Don't hesitate. You've never experienced SriLankan food of this calibre. Obliging and personable hosts. All in the cleanest rooms overlooking Kandy lake more

My room was excellent, the water was piping-hot, and the free internet worked well. A very calm, peaceful and tranquil spot right at the end of Saranankara road up from the hotel. Mr. Faiesz Samad the proprietor was very warm and had nice long conversations with him. Mr. Ramesh cooked an excellent buffet dinner on the two nights that I... more

We had had great stay at the Sharon Inn. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was clean with a superb view over Kandy Lake with a spacious balcony and hot power shower. The free internet connection was a bonus in a country which seems to have very limited access to internet. I would also recommend the Sri... more

the owners are extremely helpful and wonderfully nice. the rooms are spotless and the nightly sri lankan buffet is a great way to meet other travellers. it feels more like you're visiting friends than staying at a hotel...they remember your name and ensure you're having a good time. the free internet was an excellent perk! i would definitely recommend Sharon... more

The owners and staff provide hands-on service and care and do all that they can to make you relax and enjoy your stay. We echo the many comments about the cleanliness of this hotel, the sensational views, the spacious communal areas, the cable TV (where we could watch movies and the cricket) and the tasty and ample food. While an... more
