Great Stay at Golden Crown Hotel!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Golden Crown Hotel in Kandy. The location is perfect – just minutes from the Temple of the Tooth and Kandy Lake.
Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable with great views. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety, and the restaurant food was excellent overall.
The rooftop,/ infinity pool area is a highlight with beautiful evening views. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend this hotel!

Wonderful wedding experience at Golden Crown Hotel
Pros:

A truly unforgettable wedding experience with excellent hospitality, elegant arrangements, and wonderful service throughout the celebration.

A very special mention goes to Miss Anushima Kodikara, our event coordinator. From the very beginning, she was exceptionally friendly, supportive, and flexible. Her cooperation and tireless hard work stood out at every stage - whether it was managing last-minute changes, easing our worries, or ensuring every little detail matched our expectations. Her full dedication and warm personality made the planning process so much smoother and the wedding day far less stressful. She was really incredible at her age.

The food was absolutely outstanding-fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Everything was handled with such care and professionalism, making our special day truly perfect and memorable. Thank you once again to the entire team for exceeding our expectations and giving us memories we will cherish forever.

Exceptional Event Experience
Pros:

We had our homecoming function on 9th May 2026 as a night event at the Crown Court of The Golden Crown Hotel, and it was truly a wonderful experience. Everything was beautifully arranged, and the atmosphere was elegant and memorable.

A special thank you to Anushima Kodikara for being extremely helpful, professional, and supportive from the reservation stage until the end of the function. She ensured that every detail was handled perfectly and coordinated everything smoothly throughout the entire process. She never hesitated to accommodate any request we made, even with our last minute changes, and always handled everything with great care and professionalism.

The buffet was absolutely delicious as well. Huge thanks to Executive Chef Suresh Kahadawala and his team for serving such a tasty and well prepared spread that all our guests enjoyed.

Highly recommended for family functions and special occasions !

Pros:

We had an amazing stay at The Golden Crown Hotel in Sri Lanka. Warm hospitality from all the staff, spotless clean rooms, and outstanding food with so many delicious choices to choose from.

The poolside area was absolutely heaven! Our kids had a fabulous time and enjoyed every moment of the stay.

Special thanks to Chathurika, Hasanthi, and Minon Rodrigo for their excellent service and kindness throughout our visit.

We can’t wait to come back again — next time we will definitely stay longer for sure!

Legendary Short Stay
Pros:

Grand appearance cool rooms, fast elevators friendly helpful staff especially Chathu. Who seemed to build a lovely bond with my Kenyan partner very quickly and was there to greet us at every meal and even at checkout. The room was beautiful.

The dinner food had so much choice and puts you in a food coma

The views were pleasant too!

Cons:

The laundry service wasn't able to complete our laundry in a rush .

There was no standing fan.

The breakfast didn't have any mangos or chocolate crossiants which we were disappointed about.

Need improvement in amenities and food
Pros:

Room was good. Food was average, limited veg and jain options and available jain and veg buffet food was cold and not tasty at all. , we emailed meal preference earlier but still nothing done specifically for veg and jain food.

On arrival day dinner was not good at all, next day breakfast was little better.

One mirchi fritters with veg symbol has fish masala in it, if we had not asked specifically for each dish, we would have consumed by mistake considering it veg. We asked to prepare dal Khichdi but it was not cooked properly, no masala no lemon just bland Dal and rice.

One suggestion to keep all pure veg without egg stuff on separate counters , else One can interchange spoon and mix veg non veg egg stuff.

Kids area , indoor games area and swimming pool we just checked from outside, no staff were there , we wanted tonplay Foosball but no staff was there and ball wasn't present there.
