The Golden Crown Hotel is a 5-star hotel located in Ampitya, Kandy, Srilanka. Set amidst lush paddy fields surrounded by lush greens, the property is just 10-minute drive away from the famous Temple of the Tooth Relic. Cleaning staff was great. I don’t remember the names. Restaurant menu was amazing I tried break fast which were part of our package. However, dinner with buffet was amazing.

Set in Kandy, 3.4 km from Bogambara Stadium, The Summit offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a bar. With free WiFi, this 5-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation features a concierge service, free shuttle service and currency exchange for guests. Beautiful hotel situated overlooking all of Kandy. You get to watch the sun rise from bed and can enjoy the sunset on the rooftop terrace. The staff were so accommodating and helpful especially when we were having issues communicating with our Tuk tuk driver. There’s a restaurant on site which is perfect after a long day of touring. The hotel is far enough from the city where it’s calm and quiet but still accessible by tuk tuk just factor in some time if you are trying to get to the train station. The room was so well kept and clean. Breakfast was also amazing, super tasty and you have a choice of options you’d like. Cannot say enough great things about this hotel. I absolutely recommend staying in when you are in Kandy.

Located in Mahiyangana, The Heaven Sorabora offers 5-star accommodation with a garden and a restaurant. The accommodation provides room service and a 24-hour front desk for guests.

At the hotel, each room is equipped with a desk, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. Very friendly and helpful hosts, kudos to everyone. My room was big, quiet and comfortable. There was no mosquito net but A/C worked perfectly. Sri Lankan breakfast is not included in the rate but is served for a small additional fee. It is highly recommended. Dinners can also be arranged, are reasonably-priced, and, in my humble opinion, not to be missed.

Situated in Rangala, 18 km from Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Ferndale Retreat Knuckles features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. The property is around 28 km from Kandy Museum, 28 km from Sri Dalada Maligawa and 31 km from Bogambara Stadium. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. We stayed for two nights – and it was simply amazing! High up in the Knuckles, right in the middle of nature, lies this beautiful chalet. It is very clean, perfectly sized, and offers breathtaking views. The whole property is tastefully designed and even has its own garden with vegetables and spices, from which fresh meals are prepared. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel welcome from the very beginning. We received valuable tips and had the chance to exchange thoughts about the surroundings and Sri Lanka in general. One absolute highlight of our stay was the High Knuckles Trek: we hiked for 5–6 hours through the mountains, saw stunning waterfalls, and even spotted a rare Leaf-nosed Lizard – an endemic reptile with a leaf-shaped nose, perfectly camouflaged in the forest. Another fascinating part of the trek was the constantly changing weather: sometimes sunny and clear, then suddenly misty and humid, which gave the landscape an almost mystical atmosphere. Our guide always took great care of us, ensured our safety, and impressed us with his deep knowledge about the flora, fauna, and the region. We are absolutely thrilled with this accommodation and can only highly recommend it – for everyone who wants to experience nature, adventure, and true Sri Lankan hospitality!
