The Elephant Stables

Superb view across the valley: fantastic food - we particularly enjoyed the hoppers but the curries were also lovely. Very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed in the tent which was a superb experience.

Lovely personal service. Nice style and decoration.

The King’s Tent was so much fun! And the food was spectacular! Trust Niall to organize tours for you, he sent us everywhere we hoped to go and even arranged a replacement van last minute when our vehicle we had pre booked without him arrived and was sub par. DEFINITELY order breakfast and dinner here. Lovely sitting room for games. And a neat mini library upstairs.

We stayed for two nights at this little gem of a hotel. It’s in a lovely position on top of a hill overlooking Kandy. It only has seven rooms, including one in a large marquee in the small but immaculately kept grounds. During our stay there were only 2 other couples and the staff outnumbered the guests !. They were always on hand to cater for our needs but discreetly in the background. It is difficult to single any of them out but Nihil deserves a specific mention for his humour and attentiveness.
The hotel policy is for tips ( should you decide to leave one) to be put in a receptacle in reception which are shared out equally. We feel this is an excellent policy as there must have been plenty of staff who we didn’t see - kitchen staff, gardeners, cleaners etc who play a significant role in role in making the hotel as brilliant as it is.
The hotel likes to take meal choices the day before which helps to cut down on waste food - another good idea. The choices are varied and delicious.
Our room was the Lemongrass luxury room which situated on the first floor in the newer wing. It was well appointed with a large, comfortable bed and a very nice bathroom with a good shower. Thanks to the double glazed windows we enjoyed undisturbed slumber on both nights.

Super freundliches Personal. Alle waren sehr bemüht. Wir haben am Abend dort gegessen. War sehr gut.

the staff and service were amazing! the room was beautiful, i loved the decorations throughout the hotel. everything was really clean. the view was beautiful.

Stayed for two nights at this wonderful boutique hotel. The room was very spacious with a large en-suite and walk in shower. The staff are very attentive and Nihal made it feel very much like home. I would say that the pool could do with a little maintenance and possibly expand the dinner menu. It really is a beautiful location and the views are spectacular and only a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy

It’s a fantastic boutique hotel with just 7 rooms. It’s outside of kandy and high up, not the easiest to find but worth it when you get there. Views over the hills are stunning.
The room was large and spacious with enormous walk - in shower in the ensuite.
Staff are super friendly our Butler, Manila, (he referred to himself as our butler), could not do enough to make our stay more memorable, aided by his very able assistant Mahesh and two fantastic chefs Indika and Tyron. You must have the Sri Lankan menu for evening meals, but make sure you are hungry as it’s very generous! There is western menu to choose from also. Both are extremely reasonably priced.

こじんまりとしたビラを改装したようなホテル。全ての手入れが行き届いており清潔感漂い、その装飾もコロニアル洋式でエスニックな設え。シャワールームも広くモダンで全旅程の１日だけの滞在であったが、1番の気持ちよさであった。
また、スリランカカレーのディナーセット（7種類のカレー）が本当に美味しく、スタッフの皆さんが陽気で楽しいディナータイムでした。

This is a boutique hotel in the hills above Kandy. The location is great because it is an escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Kandy. You’re a 10+ minute tuktuk ride from downtown Kandy, but that’s no inconvenience. The hotel itself is quaint and pretty. Rooms are nicely appointed and clean. Everything in the room was operating well. We stayed in the family room (two adults, one teenage son) and it was perfectly comfortable. breakfast was served inside our outside, with views over the Kandy hills. The food for breakfast and dinner were both outstanding and plentiful.

When we needed a tuktuk, the hotel provided one at a really cheap price. The driver was also the chef. We used WhatsApp to let him know when we needed to be picked up and taken to any destination. it was way better than negotiating with all the random tuktuk drivers around town.

Zu dem Hotel selber können wir gar nichts sagen, da wir in dem Riverside Bungalow 2 Nächte verbracht haben. Dies war wirklich sehr schön, sowohl die Schlafzimmer, als auch das Bad sowie der Außenbereich. Man hat einen tollen Blick von der Terrasse und aus dem Pool. Das Personal, das einem den ganzen Tag exklusiv zur Verfügung steht, ist super nett und bemüht und immer ansprechbar.

Excellent Boutique Hotel with Great Service and exquistite Dinner! Thank you very much for Great stay

Very authentic, nice mix between colonial vibe and modern twist. Lovely views and pool

Elephant Stables is a lovely piece of heaven just outside the hectic town of Kandy. The pool and garden offer great views and create a very relaxing atmosphere. We really appreciated the beautiful balance between colonial architecture and more modern design touches.

The staff were warm and attentive, and the food was excellent throughout our stay. Highly recommended for a peaceful and stylish stay in Kandy.

Wow. This place was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, our every need was catered for expertly, swiftly and with flourish of personalised service that has is well above the standard of many other accommodations. Bandula was the man in charge while the owner was on leave - and he was fabulous. It was very quiet here and we were the only guests for some of the stay, so we enjoyed the luxury of full attention of all the staff. This place is a gorgeous small boutique hotel set in an old tea plantation house, away from Kandy centre, set high up on a ridge, from where you gaze down across the whole valley and surrounding hills that cradle this British colonial capital. Beautiful and spacious, the property comprises just two floors - an elegant and relaxing ground floor space split between a large lounge, spacious dining room and bar, and an outdoor garden and pool area. We stayed in the Lemongrass Deluxe Garden Room. Wonderful huge room - four poster bed draped with mosquito nets, terrific balcony with awesome views. Fab large TV perfect for binging Netflix at night after days of exploring, enjoying attentive room service. Breakfasts were nourishing - it was great to sit out in the garden - and other dishes from the menu were available most of the day

Peaceful oasis on top of a hill in Kandy. From the moment we arrived we were looked after by the team - nothing was to much effort. Food was excellent with a set menu of local cuisine as well as an a la carte menu with more western options.

Delightful oasis of calm on top of a hill in Kandy. Excellent service from the team and good food. Thoroughly recommended
