Detailed Reviews
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sky Pavilion! The staff (especially Priyantha) were incredibly kind and went out of their way to make our experience in Kandy special - they had amazing recommendations for the local area - and also made our time at Sky Pavilion so memorable. All meals we had at Sky Pavilion were delicious, in particular, I highly recommend doing a candle lit dinner on the top floor balcony, we enjoyed dinner while watching the sun go down with stunning views as far as the eye can see. The rooms and common areas are lovely, our room even had little star lights built into the ceiling, which at night made it look like you’re staring into the starry night sky. Highly recommend!

We went to Kandy in June / July 22. Tourism was down quite a bit. In fact, everyone else who had booked with this hotel, cancelled. However, the owner kept the hotel open for just my wife and me and honored our reservation. Gas was hard to come by, but they still were able to organize tuk tuks for us to see the area. Despite times being very tough for everyone in the country, the staff here was great and made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely stay.
The views in this hotel are phenomenal. Being tucked away in the mountains overlooking Kandy, the first morning, I woke up early and walked out to the sun rising, fog draped over the jungle landscape, and Buddhist monks praying. The attendant made me tea at 6am even though breakfast usually starts at 8am.
There were power outages throughout the country, but they supplied us with battery powered lamps so we could see at night. The AC worked great, the rooms were clean, and the showers nice and hot. Breakfast was extensive, nutritious, and delicious.
If you want to be away from the main city of Kandy for some peace and quiet, this is definitely a place to consider.

Sky Pavillion has one of the most beautiful views, compared to many other hotels in Kandy. We enjoyed the views so much, and we wanted to extend our stay for 2 nights.
However I had the most awful and frustrating phone conversation ever, with your 'Sales Manager' with regards to extending our stay. I was in shock, as I have never expected such a rude and ego centered response from a staff in hospitality industry.
I highly suggest that your staff should be given a training to change their attitudes and in handling customers delicately.
Once again it is an amazing property but your guests will not enjoy their stay, if you do not take immediate action to improve your customer service (specially staff's attitude).
PS - ground level staff were helpful, which made our stay somewhat comfortable.

My family and I stayed here for 2 nights. We took the Andromeda and Cygnus rooms. Cygnus has a great view along with an outdoor tub. But Andromeda was a bigger room. Was not a big fan of the glass bathroom walls in Cygnus and the tub was very average, but the view overtakes them all.Food was good as well. Varieties of food were comparatively less since COVID resulted in some cut downs. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to any one who loves to stare at the sky and mountains.

We were on our way from Matara to the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy and decided to spend the night in Kandy. I found this online and when we checked in I was not disappointed with what I found! Friendly staff, clean rooms with a beautiful view beyond the explanations given by the site! We got rooms upstairs called "AQUILA". The place was great and we got a good night's sleep in a very comfortable room and bed. We felt like we were flying in the sky when we were in these rooms. The view of the morning sun rising through the mountains is also hard to describe. It's such a beautiful sight. Will definitely be staying here again!

We went to Sky Pavilion for the weekend away with our friends and we had the most amazing time there. The staff was wonderful and friendly. They gave us an early checking and make sure we will have everything we wanted even before we arrived there. Rooms were super nice. We had privacy and whole place to ourselves. On the second night they arranged an amazing bbq. The view to the hotel was so cool it helps us to get away from our busy life. Worth the every penny we spend on there. Highly recommend.

Hi there was a good internet connection whilst my stay although I didn't really use Skype. WhatsApp calling and viber worked completely fine. If that's any help.
There is no alcohol at the hotel.
But you can buy from the city, its easy to find, cheap, and you can get it to your room in the hotel.
Sorry I dont know french. But as I understood you are free to consume your own liqour. But we dont sell liquor as we don't have licence.but you can use the terrace and enjoy the views while enjoying your friends.
