Lovely peaceful hotel managed by an excellent host.
Pros:

Upul was an excellent host. Friendly and efficient. Beautiful quiet property next to the jungle. Great value for money. Good breakfast

Cons:

Quite a distance from Kandy up a steep hill. Not a problem as we had a tuk tuk and this also ensured a peaceful stay away from the city. A small fridge would have been good.

Pros:

Close to a forested area in the hills above Kandy. Quiet and peaceful. The hotel was well appointed with attractive marble and wood floors.and spotlessly clean. Our room was spacious and the bed comfortable.
Upal the manager was very considerate and could not have been more helpful.

Cons:

The distance from the centre of Kandy could have been problematic, but did not prove to be. It was easy to arrange for a Tuk Tuk.
Very limited options for dinner at the hotel.

Superb hotel, fabulous town. The hotel staff found us a great tuk tuk driver and guide.
Pros:

Superb family room with balcony and views.

Cons:

It was further out and up the hill than I thought (perhaps my mistake). Fine by tuk tuk once you had sorted it. But there is little around the actual hotel.

Beautiful, spacious, modern Kandy guesthouse
Pros:

This was a beautifully well-appointed hotel nestled on the hills of Kandy. The manager personally escorted us by motorbike when we could not locate it in our van. Suite 301 was incredibly large and spacious, with vaulted ceilings and an exceptional bathroom up to North American standards. Breakfast was served fresh - an array of local fruits, omelets, bread, butter and jams, hot tea and coffee. We were running late to our various excursions, so the manager kindly allowed us to check out slightly late for a nominal fee.

Cons:

It was just a little difficult to find as our map lost its signal on the hill. I would suggest increasing the size of the signs leading to the resort.
