A charming and intimate stay in Kandy with excellent food and very good service.
Pros:

A truly charming hotel with only seven rooms, giving it a very intimate and pleasant atmosphere. The food is genuinely excellent and the service is very good, with an attentive and welcoming team.

As everything is freshly prepared to order, we recommend letting the team know in advance what you would like to eat to avoid a long wait or finding that your preferred dish is not available.

Cons:

The air conditioning in our suite was quite noisy. The room is also above the restaurant and right next to the billiard area, so it can sometimes be a little noisy depending on the other guests.

Sehr gute Wahl, wenn man sich ein bisschen Luxus gönnen möchte
Pros:

Wunderschönes, bequemes Zimmer. Tolles Badezimmer, sehr sauber. Whirlpool toll. Ruhige und schöne Umgebung, aber dafür etwas weiter ins Zentrum, was uns aber nicht gestört hat, weil Kandys Zentrum nicht sehr schön ist. Personal war höflich aber zurückhaltend. Essen können wir nicht beurteilen, weil wir nur Übernachtung gebucht hatten, es war uns aber etwas zu teuer. Da ist man billiger unterwegs, wenn man ein Tuktuk in die Stadt nimmt.

Cons:

Kleine Anmerkung: es wäre angenehmer, wenn man den Gästen einfach erklärt, wie der Whirlpool zu nutzen ist, anstatt selbst eine halbe Stunde vor dem Whirlpool zu warten. Ist glaube ich für alle unangenehm.

A little place of paradise in Kandy
Pros:

Beautiful pool and rooms. There’s a pool table too! If you go to Kandy you must stay here. The staff are AMAZING! And the food cooked by Umesh is some of the best I’ve had so far. We were upgraded to a suite and totally looked after!

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

A cosy little hotel, outside the centre of Kandy. The rooms are rather nice, although not particularly spacious. Excellent service, very good breakfast.

Cons:

You will need your own transport, or rely on taxis, to get to the main attractions.

Stilvolles Vintage-Hotel in ruhigem Viertel von Kandy
Pros:

Clove Villa ist ein stilvolles Hotel mit gemütlicher Gemeinschaftslounge, Frühstücksecke, Billiardbereich und mit verschiedenen Zimmern in mehreren Halb-Stockwerken um ein Atrium herum. Im Garten befindet sich ein Pool. Das Auto kann im Parkareal geparkt werden.
Die große Suite verfügt über eine Sitzecke mit charmanten Dekorartikeln, ein Doppelbett und ein sauberes Badezimmer mit Dusche sowie einen Whirlpool im Balkonbereich mit Sichtschutz.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und steht 24 Stunden zur Verfügung.
Das Hotel befindet sich in der Nähe vieler historisch bedeutenden Sehenswürdigkeiten, welche wir mit dem eigenen Auto wunderbar erreichen konnten.

Cons:

Leider gab es zu vorgerückter Stunde nur mehr lauwarmes Wasser für den privaten Whirlpool und die Dusche. Das Frühstück wurde extra verrechnet und bietet nicht das wofür der Preis steht.
