Rupert, Feb 2025
Pros (+) The house is stunning, beautifully appointed, in the middle of the luscious green vegetation. Simply amazing to see! We ate at the restaurant on our first night, it was delicious (the most expensive meal we'd had so far in SL). Sitting on the lawn having drinks before dinner, with lights in the trees, was truly memorable.
Cons (-) "Our aim is to give our visitors the experience of staying as valued guests in a private manor house rather than a conventional hotel". We spent $440 per night and weren't even in the manor house, we were given the Pioneer room, in an outhouse. It was adjoining the restaurant's loo. It was 5 meters from the restaurant's outdoor dining area, so at 7am we were woken by breakfast being laid out, and ...

Pros (+) Great quiet location. The hotel is charming and well maintained. Swimming pool overlook in jungle and rice fields is stunning.
Cons (-) Limited choice of food, average dinner. Yoga class did not happen. Room on the small side with no balcony and no views, noise from kitchen ie: really bad room in a good hotel. Expensive and boring in comparison to other good Sri Lankan hotels

Pros (+) Staff were excellent - Prasan our butler was exceptional and really helped make the stay memorable. The swimming pool was amazing - set nicely in a landscape of lush vegetation.
Cons (-) The evening meal was quite disappointing. It was unreasonably expensive and the quality of the food in no way justified the cost. The starter and the dessert were bought in and fairly bland on both occasions we ate there.

Pros (+) The property is charming but not our style of decor. Food and services were very nice.
Cons (-) Toilet and bathroom had no door and were open to the bedroom. Shutters in the suite were very dusty. Workmen were loudly sweeping outside our window at 8am. Then loud cultural dance and music started at 9 am organised by another guest.

Pros (+) Kandy House with its uniquely landscaped gardens has an exquisite and grandiose colonial feel from the minute you set foot on the property; it provides all essentials in a small and familiar footprint. With its 9 rooms, it's a boutique hotel in the truest sense providing authenticity through and through. The service is unparalleled, down to the personal butler detail. The estate is impeccably well...
Cons (-) Google Maps has inaccurate coordinates for the property that overshoot the main entrance to the property by a few hundred feet; this really should be corrected by management at their earliest convenience given it's an unnecessary inconvenience for arriving guests. The rooms aren't sizeable, which makes space tighter but given the setting, flair and age of the property is perfectly acceptable. Whil...

Pros (+) This is truly a beautiful property, the house itself, is like walking into a bygone era . It is sumptuously decorated. We had the Royal Peacock suite, which was stunning. The house is set in beautiful lush gardens with an attractive infinity pool, overlooking paddy fields. We were assigned two butlers who were very attentive and as I have food allergies the chef made me some truly delicious meals.
Cons (-) Nothing, it was amazing
