Room is spacious, have all amenities and toiletries (just missing the slippers). It have heater instead of air conditioner as there is mostly cold here. Centralized control system is a plus. Washroom is comparatively much smaller and just the basic size.
Cons: The main thing was the management which was poor and mostly looked after only locals as we came to know by our driver. At check in the room key didn't worked 3 time and they have to call some technical guy to resolve the issue which was actually the issue in room door, still they gave us the same room. When we go to food court for breakfast in morning, it was only 4 set items only which also they decide they want to give or not. For every request it was a no even when we are willing to pay extra for the same. For the meal we had we asked extra sambhar they deny they can't give. We asked for sandwich or any breads which was also unavailable. But after sometime, they give sandwich to some other persons. When we confronted them, they told it is in different meal, we asked to give only sandwich they outright denied, when we said give meal they say come after 11. After complaining and telling at the reception his response was mostly defending and at last only told you can discuss with senior manager. It was our time to leave the city as per our itinerary so we left the place as it is.
The owner’s own house was changed, Sri Lanka’s local tyrant, two Land Rover. At the top of the mountain, the top floor bar is really view360. The only problem is that the curtains of the roller blinds are almost shaded. Chef is super good! ! ! Chef is super good! ! ! To be honest, the room is just like that. There is not much room for it. Kandy has a good choice for one to two nights. The chef is super, Md can't help but mention it! The pool is good, but it is too cold to get into the water.
This hotel is one of the best in the area, and they even offer breakfast and dinner, which we unfortunately didn't know about beforehand. The breakfast was plentiful, the mountain views were stunning, and it's not far from Kandy. Overall, a very comfortable stay.
The room looked clean and big, but it smelled very bad, and the air conditioner was very powerful! The buffet at our own expense was really great, and the price was not expensive. The food was better than in China!
The hotel is exceptionally clean, and the room size is suitable for three guests. The overall atmosphere is very pleasant, with a welcoming ambiance throughout the property. The staff are friendly, professional, and highly attentive. The rooftop pool offers a wonderful setting with a great view, and the food is excellent—particularly the dinner served at the rooftop restaurant. Overall, the hotel offers very good value for money considering the quality of service and facilities.
A stunning villa and very hospitality host. Very clean, comfortable and beautiful, the host helped order food during the rain and was interested in how our business was after departure. Come in the morning and cooked a chic breakfast while we were sleeping. There was a feeling that we were in the Sri Lpn friends :) In the house there are all necessary, we would like to stay here for a longer time!
The room is large and the furniture is simple. The bed is not very soft, I like this slightly harder mattress. The chef's breakfast and dinner are good and more suitable for Chinese appetite. There are also resident singers for dinner. The hotel is also convenient to Horton Plains, which is about 45 minutes by car.
Stayed at Araliya Green Hills with family and had a very pleasant experience. The service and amenities were excellent, and the staff made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The property is well-maintained and offers a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a family trip. Cleanliness and location were good, and overall the stay felt peaceful and enjoyable. A great option for families looking for comfort and warm hospitality.
The old five-star hotel is located on the Mahaweli River, the mother river of Sri Lanka. It is a must-have hotel for Kandy people to get married. The British service standard is very good. Compared with other Sri Lankan hotels, the check-in and check-out are very fast. The software service makes up for the old facilities deficiencies, it is recommended
This mountain hotel was the priciest of our entire trip, with a single room costing almost 5,000. It's nestled in the mountains, so getting there was a bit of a trek. I was hoping to spot some monkeys, but we didn't see any this time.
The hotel's service and dining, however, were absolutely impeccable, truly top-notch. The ingredients and presentation were meticulously handled. The overall design also showcases a strong concept, built into the mountainside, creating a unique mountain resort atmosphere. That said, the room facilities were noticeably dated, with a distinct 80s or 90s feel. While some might appreciate this retro vibe, I personally prefer a more updated and modern hotel experience.
Overall, it definitely has a strong design aesthetic and a unique ambiance. However, in terms of overall comfort and experience, it falls a bit short compared to the Lighthouse Hotel by the same designer. Especially considering the challenging journey up the mountain and the price, the final experience didn't quite meet my initial expectations.

Very Good
DDhanushka WanasingheI recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful location and I must say, it was a nice place with outstanding scenery. If you enjoy a mountainous vibe, this is definitely one of the best spots to visit. The food was quite good, and the garden was absolutely beautiful. I especially appreciated Mr. Yoga, who guided us through the gardens and provided excellent support. One thing to keep in mind is that there are no elevators (only stairs). We stayed on the third floor and while the view was lovely, we did encounter some mosquitoes inside the room.
GGuest UserThe owners and employees at this hotel are so, so lovely.
Unfortunately their hotel is not. I almost feel catfished as many of the photos highlighted the bar and pool party atmosphere. This was not the case - the pool was a decent size but in the shade and I actually didn’t see anyone in it. The pool party drinking shots I highly suspect were perhaps not a genuine source.
The same goes for the bar which is massive and attended to by several lovely young, bored gentlemen as both times I popped up (once for dinner) I was the only patron. Again no party atmosphere or even people - which is a shame as it is a big venue.
Fortunately next door was another venue for some decent cocktails and music which saved the boredom somewhat.
The bedroom was a decent size with a small fridge (but didn’t work), the bathroom was small, felt dirty, no hand soap or soap for the shower (apart from leftover previous occupants - and that was gross).
The pressure was poor making showering difficult and there was plaster on the floor from some damage - not cleaned up.
The bed was massive and comfortable with air conditioning and a fan so sleep was good.
Finally, and to repeat, the staff were lovely. Very hospitable and the location is about a ten minute walk to the Sacred Tooth Temple and Kandy Lake. So great location.
Would I stay there again - no. Would I pop in to say hello to the owners and next door for a cocktails - possibly!

SSophieB123Hotel was prepared and ready for my arrival. Had issues with connection to wifi so had to contact the reception.
No hairdryer in room and had to request this even though it should’ve been there already.
Ordered room service, it came cold and items forgotten from order even though order was repeated back to me on the phone.
Breakfast was average for a Radisson. Seating options strange with big long tables reserved for groups rather than small families, couples and singles.
Tuktuk touts waiting outside hotel to pester you for your destination.
It was clean for the most part and well needed after a long day of travel but I wouldn’t return. Not sure how this hotel is #1 in Kandy but I was left feeling disappointed.

GGuest UserOur experience at the hotel was truly exceptional, especially thanks to the outstanding service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of throughout our stay.
The food was very good, with very generous portions — you definitely won’t go hungry here! We also really enjoyed the various tea-related activities offered by the hotel, which added a unique and authentic touch to the experience. TCL train experience (price at 100usd person) was good.p
That said, the rooms feel quite dated and could benefit from a renovation. While they were clean and comfortable, a refresh would bring the overall experience to the next level. Also, keep in mind that there is no swimming pool on-site.
We’d recommend staying one or two nights — it’s enough time to enjoy everything the hotel has to offer without feeling like you’re missing out.
