Unprofessional place

Review of Hotel Topaz
1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 24, 2019
Booked our trip through Booking.com. we were looking forward to spending three nights here. However when we arrived we were told unapologetically that they were fully booked and couldn't accommodate one day only available right now no explanation was given, as we were given no choice, we agreed to move with their unprofessional behavior. Still worst experience but we r happy not to stay this place because recently one of our friends visited here for two nights & that said it Wan a terrible experience with them food & very loudly sounds hearing even inside to rooms, here food quality & cleanness lesser than the town restaurant, they were really not happy their recent stay with this place

Dear Valued Guest,

We wish to thank you for taking time to share your experience through TripAdvisor. Due to invalid credit card details we were unable to provide your room for three nights, and this would have been an oversight from your side, but could have been loss of business to the organization on a full house day. We do not honor reservations if invalid Credit card details are provided. However we apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, and suggest that you provide correct details to secure your room reservations. Rest of the comment are taken positively, for improvement.

Hoping to serve you better next time,

My wife and myself are nearing the end of a most enjoyable 2 night stay at the Hotel Topaz which - together with its sister property The Tourmaline - is located at the top of a steep hill and enjoys some of the best views in town.

It is a 40 year old property and beginning to show its age (notably the sun beds in the Swimming Pool area which nestles between the two properties) but still has much to recommend. In this regard, the staff - particularly, the front desk and F & B team(s) - are most helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble!

Our stay was on a half-board basis and both the Breakfast & Dinners (which are either on the first or second floors) are served Buffet style. Whilst the Breakfasts are perfectly adequate, I would rate both our Dinners as excellent with a good choice of quality starters, main courses and desserts..

The rooms are bright (very good lighting) and spacious with all the required amenities. The Bed was very comfortable and I was pleased to find a stand alone shower - with plenty of hot water - in the Bathroom. Good WiFi service throughout our stay and the only negative was the old safety deposit box which presented us with some problems and - to my mind - should be replaced sooner rather than later.

All in all, we enjoyed our time at the Topaz Hotel and would have no problem about returning nor recommending this to others.

We made a sudden reservation and visited this place. staff was very helpful to us and specially the front desk staff. They provided us a mountain view room and room was comfortable with many facilities. We had buffet for 3 meals and foods were delicious. Looking forward to stay again in this place. Recommended to couples who want a calm and quite place closer to kandy ona top of a mountain..
