Pros:

The room and facilities were really good, and overall, we had a pleasant stay. everything was good.:::

Cons:

The only issue was with the food. We ordered chicken fried rice, but it was too oily for our liking. Other than that.

A beautifull decorated hotel outside the center, where the staff makes sure you have the best experience
Pros:

One of the most beautifully decorated hotels I have ever seen; it feels like you are living in a museum. The restaurant upstairs has a beautifull view and the you can taste the care that the cheff puts into the food. One of the best breakfasts I had. Their is a new owner now for a few months, he makes sure you have everything you need. He and his staff were all the time making tea for me, so sweet!
The rooms are beautifull and their is very comfortable bed. The location is very peacefull, in 10 minutes with tuktuk you’re in the middle of the center. There it is very busy, so I was happy to go back to the peacefull accomodation.

Cons:

The room has a thin wall, so there can be a lot of noise

Fantastic stay in a fantastic property with excellent caring staff and fantastic food.
Pros:

Beautiful property. Extremely nice and helpful Manager and staff. The highlight of our stay was the amazing food. The quality of food surpassed what most five star properties would have on offer.....and with absolute value for money.

Cons:

A few issues with the wash room fittings, but they were attended to promptly. Simple maintenance issues which I am sure will get fixed.

Pros:

I had a pleasant stay at Gangula Villa. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the whole villa has such a peaceful, relaxed vibe. I especially loved the beautiful interior, calm background music, and thoughtful little spaces throughout the property.
What i enjoyed the most is there were plenty of places to sit with a coffee, read, relax, or get some work done. It feels quiet and private while still being very welcoming. A lovely place to slow down, unwind, and enjoy some peaceful time. I would happily stay here again.

Regards to the host, Dinesh who is a nice gentleman and helpful.

An Absolute Gem in Kandy!
Pros:

An Absolute Gem in Kandy!
"We had an exceptional 1-night stay at Gangula Villa. The villa itself is stunning, beautifully decorated with local art and a gorgeous wooden staircase structure. The room was spacious, perfectly clean, and incredibly comfortable. What truly sets this place apart is the hospitality—the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and helped us coordinate our travel seamlessly. Also, do not skip the food! The home-cooked meals served here were easily some of the best we had during our entire trip to Sri Lanka. It’s located in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood slightly outside the city center, which was the perfect escape from the busy city streets. Highly recommend!"

Pros:

Tout ! Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Dinesh. Il a été à nos petits soins et nous avons pu profiter des excellents repas de son cuisinier. L' hébergement est on ne peut plus magnifique! Dinesh l'a aménagé avec goût et il y a plein de jolis endroits où lire et se reposer. La chambre était très confortable et il y avait une jolie SDB. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable ! De plus, nous avons apprécié d' être un peu à l' écart du centre de Kandy. Il était facile de se déplacer en tuk tuk. Enfin, Dinesh nous a gentiment organisé notre prochain déplacement. Je recommande chaleureusement!
