Our stay was wonderful, we were lucky enough to have one of the newly renovated rooms at the hotel. The hotel staff were very polite and accommodating and the hotel is very centrally located - easy walk to the Temple of the Tooth Relic, eateries and shops.

You must read-up on what to expect at the queen’s hotel. It may or may not be for you. It feels like stepping back in time. The place is a little shabby in places but if you want to have that feeling of living a bit of history it delivers. It’s an excellent location and the staff are all friendly and helpful. The pool offers a break from the noise of town and just generally- bring your ear plugs! We really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely historic hotel, yet sadly long overdue for a major renovation. Upgraded to a suite (thank-you), yet broken air conditioner that staff tried to fix with a broomstick/leaking ceilings in various rooms (dangerous on floorboards)/light bulbs broken & not replaced/dangerous electrical PowerPoints/shower mechanism broken & fell Off & hot water tap itself overheats & liable to burn. In a positive, bed & pillows comfortable, pool fantastic & staff very helpful. Particularly the Manager/CEO Mr Kumar.

never had such a bad experience checking in, the girl (with glasses) at the reception was so rude it was laughable, I really got no idea how she got the job. the hotel is really nice and close to everything, but the rooms facing the main street get really noisy at night, the it gets quiet from 11 pm until 4am when the traffic (trucks, buses ect..) start again. ok for the location , the beauty of the hotel, the swimming pool, the bar , but avoid if you want some sleep . remember, be aware of the ignorant unprofessional lady at the reception! be ready to wait for a long time ! a long queue of people complaining when I left!

Keep your sense of humour and you'll get through the half to one hour check in process and you'll start to enjoy this quirky, totally inefficient hotel in the perfect location opposite the Temple of the Tooth. It's unapologetically rundown - but if you love heritage hotels you'll love this place. It has a nice restaurant with really lovely staff. It's the reception staff that desperately need training in how to deal with customers. We had zero explanation of why we were kept waiting for over half an hour. Very poor communication and generally inept. But again, get through the check in process and you'll be in heritage bliss - well, maybe not 'bliss' but you'll probably love the place anyway.

Historic Hotel in Kandy

If you like historic hotels this is for you. In a perfect location by the lake and opposite the Temple of the Tooth. The interior takes you right back to the 19th Century with its wooden floors and antique bar. The dinning room is old fashioned with a good mix of western and Sri Lankan food. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Everything about this hotel is the opposite of a modern bland corporate hotel. Staying here is an experience.
