We were a group of 6 adults & 2 children. Our first halt. The welcome was good & the rooms were immediate given to us. We had the city facing rooms with good view of the city, railway station & the hills. The rooms were big but the baths a little small. The food was extremely good. The market is... More

Situated on hillside a tuk tuk ride from Kandy centre this big but "tired" hotel is still great value for money. Pool area was a hit with the kids and the staff very helpful. Room size very generous and comfortable with great views but bathrooms VERY tiny to the point of awkward!! Watch out for the monkeys! Not your small... More

This has got to be one of the prime views in Kandy and definitely worth the long walk up the hill. Staff are helpful and the hotel is very spacious with the panoramic view across the hills dominating the lounge restaurant and bar areas and this area is big. There is a good pool and also table tennis and snooker... More

The Hilltop offers rooms with amazing views; however, there is noise from the train station below in the valley. The location is poor for touring the key sights and/or trying local restaurants and bars. Nevertheless, our room was large, clean and updated. Food and entertainment was above average; lovely pool.

Hilltop is literally positioned high on the hillside in the town of Kandy. The restaurant and bar area are both situated with large panoramic views across the hills and valleys and an excellent way to enjoy the cool evening air. The hotel is a little tired in places but that being said its location make that not an issue. The... More

Hotel has a nice swimming pool, also table tennis, billiard and maybe some other facilities that i haven't seen. Food in restaurant is also very good.... More

Stayed for 1 night after we could not find the B&B we had booked into. The reception staff were quite rude when we arrived, as if they were put out that we wanted a room to stay in. The restaurant staff were quite friendly, but all staff seemed to be hanging around blatantly awaiting tips. The room itself was fine,... More

We stayed here 2 nights and enjoyed it. The pool was a bonus after a hot day. The monkeys were very cheeky however and the sign on the windows warning you not to leave them open is for real! We had a monkey try to jump into the room and it bared its' teeth at us when we were shooing... More
