We stayed at the Topaz for one night on a 4 day tour. The setting is very nice, though up a very steep hill from the town, and the are very gardens well kept. The hotel generally is OK outside and in the public areas, including the restaurant, with a pretty good evening buffet and excellent breakfast, service was rather... More

We were given friendly service at every turn and the view from the fourth floor was absolutely stunning! The food wasn't too bad, considering what we were paying but I felt that our suite was a tad dusty. More

Rooms were very good and had a lovely view of the hills around Kandy. Hotel is located on top of a hill and is not walking distance to the centre of town (tuk tuk costs about 300-350r). Nice bar with free wi-fi. Service was very good. Our dinner in the restaurant was disappointing. More

I am glad we did not have to walk to the hotel since it is located on a hilltop, and the road is rollercoaster-like with ups and downs and twists and turns. The reception area is grand with a bar and a jewellers shop (I wonder how many customers they have in an average day). The room we had was... More

The rooms are big enough. The beds are good. It was clean. It is no luxury hotel of course, but perfect for a stay of few days if you don't wan't to spend the whole day at the hotel. I didn't try the pool or the spa...no time. The staff is very nice and kind. The hotel is highly located,... More

There was dirt/dust flying everywhere!!!!! I don't think the blades of th fan have ever been cleaned.The buffet... More

The first thing which you would notice at this hotel is the breathtaking view. The hotel in itself is certainly in need of refurbishing. However, the overall experience in this place was quite comfortable. The rooms were average (clean, but need better upkeep of woodwork and decor). The swimming pool was excellent and they even had a mini bar for... More

The views from the hotel are great. That's about all that's great. The rooms are in desperate need of refurbishment and are very out dated. The air conditioning was very, very noisy. The bar area needs a good clean as do the glasses! I would not recommend this hotel. More

My wife and I stayed at the Topaz for one night earlier this month (Nov 2011). On the plus side, as has already been stated, the location is superb. The views over Kandy and beyond to the mountains are stunning. The food and service are first class. To my mind these are the main considerations, as, after all, you are... More
