Low grade hotel, I feel really ripped off by Booking.com
Pros:

Nothing really

Cons:

Location.
Hotel old and tired, felt like it was on its last legs. Needs major renovation or closure.
Noise from room above which was in fact partly inside our room
Poor breakfast offering, you take what they give you.
Gates were locked at 21.00, had to call each time to have them opened. Waited in heavy rain one night.

Professionelt og trygt ophold med enestående panoramaudsigt over Kandy
Pros:

Opholdet på Amaara Sky Hotel i Kandy var præget af høj servicekvalitet og stor opmærksomhed på gæsternes behov. Ved ankomst blev vi imødekommende modtaget med en velkomstdrink, og personalet var fra første øjeblik hjælpsomt og serviceminded. De bar kufferterne til værelset, besvarede spørgsmål grundigt og orienterede os om brugen af PickMe-appen, hvilket bidrog til, at man som gæst følte sig tryg og undgik at blive snydt.

Hotellets personale udviser et tydeligt værtskab og tager aktivt hånd om gæsterne. De hjælper gerne med at arrangere videre transport, planlægge næste etape af rejsen og giver kvalificerede forslag til sightseeing og oplevelser i området. Sikkerheden på hotellet opleves som meget høj, hvilket yderligere understøtter følelsen af tryghed under opholdet.

Værelset var stort, pænt og meget rent, og alle faciliteter fungerede upåklageligt. Et særligt højdepunkt er hotellets fantastiske panoramaudsigt med solopgang over Kandy, som giver en enestående og mindeværdig start på dagen.

Samlet set fremstår Amaara Sky Hotel som et professionelt drevet hotel med fokus på service, sikkerhed og gæsteoplevelse, og det kan varmt anbefales til både korte og længere ophold i Kandy.

Cons:

Alt var godt.

Pros:

Das Frühstück ist Weltklasse. Insbesondere das große Zimmer, das wir hatten.... wie Könige haben wir uns gefühlt. Und das Personal ist unfassbar aufmerksam und professionell. Wer denkt, das Hotel sei außerhalb: Nein, 5 Minuten mit dem TukTuk und ihr seid im Herzen von Kandy. Aber im Hotel halt: Oberhalb

Pros:

A reasonably priced hotel. Staff were helpful and kind. From the main road to the hotel roads are narrow and winding, understandably since Kandy is a hill country city.

Passable
Pros:

View was superb staff were so kind helpful expect for the kitchen one they we just ok

Cons:

There were cockroach at the penthouse bed which is creepy, bath water pressure was bad, they charge USD10 per pax for breakfast not worth at all too expensive. My local friend booked a room they got it with free breakfast. Unfair not worth.

Somewhat disappointing
Pros:

We got an upgrade to a bigger room.
The staff was extremely polite and very helpful. One of the members even spoke German.
There is a lift to the rooms, good for our (sorry, but yes) rather huge luggage.
There is a DVD player, and they offer a reasonable choice of DVDs to lend free of charge.
There was a table and two chairs in the room.

Cons:

The place is too far out of town.
It is somewhat rundown, at least speaking of the room we stayed in.
We don't know where they got the 4 stars from: no hairdryer, the "minibar" consisted of some instant coffee and tea tray with cookies, two small water bottles and an empty refrigerator.
Water pressure in the shower was very low.
Furniture was worn, window seals falling out, and the outside windows could do with some cleaning, basically all over the hotel.
There are no handrails in the staircase.
The WLAN was so slow that we were unable to load emails, let alone do anything else in WWW.
The restaurant/breakfast room had no atmosphere plus a noisy radio running all the time, with a lot of reverberation.
There were very few guests, probably the reason for us to be forced to pre-order our one and only dinner two hours in advance.
It was the only hotel of our total Sri Lanka holiday which pulled the accomodation cost weeks before our arrival.
For Sri Lanka, we think it is highly overpriced. For the money spent, we had FAR better accomodation in other areas, including Colombo.

The view, staff

Cons:

far off location, construction site right next to hotel, hallways had a bad smell, carpets, balcony questionably safe, food at restaurant just not okay for the price plus veggies having certain precut shapes,
very very very overpriced
