An Unforgettable Stay with Truly Exceptional Service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My recent stay at The Golden Crown was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in an environment of luxury and warmth. The hotel itself is incredibly beautiful, with attention to detail in every corner. However, what truly made our stay exceptional was the world-class service from the staff. Every team member we encountered was super polite and helpful, but two individuals truly went above and beyond: Mr. Roshan and Ms. Kaveesha. Their professionalism, kindness, and willingness to help were evident in every interaction. They provided top-class customer service, anticipating our needs and ensuring every aspect of our visit was perfect. Ms. Kaveesha Gayathree's cheerful and kindful nature was a delight, and Mr. Roshan Hettiarachchi's courteous and efficient service was remarkable. Super Kindful they were! We enjoyed our time at the hotel so much, and a large part of that is thanks to them. The bottom line is that The Golden Crown is a gem—a super beautiful place powered by a team that treats guests like family. I will recommend this hotel 200% to anyone, whether traveling for business or with family. Do not miss the chance to experience this wonderful place and its fantastic staff!

Everything was outstanding. We stayed 3 nights but could have stayed much longer. Food, service, views, the accommodation itself and the extra activities booked through the hotel were excellent. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Incredible hotel! The overall vibe of this hotel was unmatched, it was a little sanctuary in the middle of the mountains with the most amazing views, vibe and atmosphere. The staff were so incredible and helpful, working to go above and beyond to make our experience special. The food was excellent too! Amazing walks you can do, tea plantation on site, even we got a free upgrade and had the hotel infinity pool pretty much to ourselves! Would 100% recommend! Lacanta was great and super helpful too!

Best location i have stayed yet in Sri Lanka. This pearl has everything you need. The bed is great, the shower is gorgeous and the personel is the best i’ve seen yet. They will help you with literally anything you need and wil accomodate it for you. If something on the menu is not like your taste, they can change it to your own liking. They have a beautiful big tent on the outside of the hotel, which has a bathtub, AC and literally everything you need. There are no downsides i could mention. Like i have said…. The best location in Kandy

The rooms were 5 star worthy with a beautiful view, size was really nice and the staff had been super friendly and nice. The breakfast buffet was good with a big selection. For dinner there was live music. The dinner buffet on a Saturday was offering a wider selection of food.

My partner and I spent two delightful nights at The Kandy House in Kandy, Sri Lanka, where the blend of beautifully maintained colonial architecture and luxurious grounds immediately caught our attention. Pradeep's attentive service stood out, ensuring our stay was comfortable and memorable. The exceptional Sri Lankan cuisine offered an authentic taste of the local culture, while our room provided a serene, elegantly appointed. I highly recommend The Kandy House to anyone seeking a blend of luxury, culture, and personalized service.

Beautifully located on the lake, elegant hotel with spacious, luxurious rooms. Small swimming pool on the roof is well maintained. One of the staff came to bring us towels when they saw us go out. Very nice dining room. Efficient A/C. 15 minute walk around the lake too the Temple of the Sacred Tooth and to the city centre. Superb little hotel.

Fantastic hotel, the location, beautifully kept, great atmosphere, lovely feeling about the place and the views are superb. The minute you walk in you are greeted by smiling helpful staff. The general manager Upul leads in this respect and is attentive to everything. The restaurant staff are wonderful and the chefs superb. Best meal we have had in India or Sri Lanka. I would give this hotel 6 stars if I could

This was our first hotel on our road trip to Sri Lanka and it was one of our favourites. I highly recommend the penthouse, which is huge and has an incredible view. The service is top quality and personalized, with the manager and staff taking care of everything for our family, even with a baby. The breakfast is one of the best we've had in Sri Lanka.

if you want to pretend you’ve won the lottery and been whisked into your luxury new house fully staffed then this is the place for you! it was a house that’s been converted into a hotel so has a very polished feel. you can’t help but imagine how you’d lit the place out of it was your home. the view is gorgeous from the room and the lobby. and the staff were very attentive and friendly. it’s a perfect romantic getaway if you want a chilled and luxurious experience. the bed was AMAZING!

The staff are very friendly, especially young Himaya who is a fantastic asset to the hotel. I have stayed in many 5 star chain hotels and they can learn a lot from a place like the Queens Hotel.
