My wife and I stayed for 2 nights at the Hilltop Kandy. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. 1) Food - Huge spread for breakfast and the buffets for lunch and dinner. But we did not find too many authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, and much of the varieties on offer was Western-influenced 2) Rooms - The Rooms are decent, though... More

First thing you will notice when you reach the place is the winding road along the hill experience. You tend to get the feeling that your vehicle will fall off the cliff any moment! I think for me that experience was terrifying nevertheless exciting!! Stay at the hotel was ordinary at best. Rooms were not that clean. Bathrooms were decent... More

We had 4 nights at the Hill Top. While adequate, I expect you could find much better places to stay. Being high on a hill, it had views but was still noisy (overlooking railway station) and not really feasible to walk to nearby locations. Rooms adequate but very tired. Food in dining room mediocre. Staff were friendly but did not... More

We loved this hotel. It was very comfortable. The room was clean, there was plenty of hot water in the shower. The staff was friendly. The pool was clean. The restaurant food was ok, not exceptional. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The location is not in a place where you can walk... More

The hotel in general is slightly run down, but nothing to really detract from the experience. The room was clean and well equipped, even having a couple of UK style plug sockets which was a bonus. The route from Kandy to the hotel is quite a steep road and we didn't attempt to walk up it (it was raining quite... More

Usually manage to make the most of the places we visit and stay but this wasnt the best of experiences. We stayed here as part of Thomson 'Discover Sri Lanka' and cant understand they use a hotel which is in need of a major refurbishmnent, the rooms (especially bathroom/shower) were not clean. The food left a lot to be desired... More

Not the best rooms (a bit worn down),especially bathroom, quite old conditioner. Had additional blankets in the wardrobe. The view from restaurant is to the trains (we had to the swimming pool, inner part of hotel), but to spend a night it's OK. Really good food and professional staff. It has a balcony, but the problem is with mosquitos -... More
