This is a premier hotel. The room was generous and comfortable. The issues that distracted from our stay was the overpriced breakfast and dinner buffet. Overpriced in the sense that for the price charged the offering lacked a wow factor. There were some minor plumbing issues that weren't serious but indicative of a lack of attention to detail. The currency exchange rate offered was the worst that we encountered anywhere in Sri Lanka. Not something of which to be proud. ##### Trevor Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 9 Feb 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities First of all, sharp practice. The photo of the swimming pool and some others that you have no your website for the Thilanka is NOT the Thilanka Hotel in Kandy. It is of some other hotel which is clearly on the coast. This hotel is described as a 4 star. This is clearly false from the moment you walk into ther cramped shabby building and are met by clearly untrained staff. It is at best a very weak 3 star hotel. The general condition of the place is shabby - dirty, badly painted, not maintained, liberally filled with insects and a swarm of mosquitoes at night. The food was appalling - cheap bread left out overnight, sweetened and watered down juices and coffee the like of which i haven't tasted in over 30 years. Staff were clueless, poorly trained and lacked the kind of essential English skills needed in this industry (and which we found in every other of the 7 hotels we stayed in in Sri Lankla during our stay). our room - the 'suite'!! A large leftover space at the end of the corridor with not a right-angle in the place. Curtains which didn't open; windows to a microscopic balcony whch had not been cleaned in a very long time; mosquitoes everywhere (and our driver's room had bed bugs meaning he had to sleep in the car! Three nights at this hotel cost more than a genuine 5 star hotel in Colombo - the Cinnamon Grand. All in all a rip-off. Despite complaining to the reception staff, nothing was done either because they could be bothered, didn't know what to do, or just forgot. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities C’est un bon rapport qualité-prix.

I was told the hotel was full but they agreed to change rooms after asking to speak with the manager. I booked half board but the waiter was adamant I was on BB and waved his sheet at me stating this. Very rude and unprofessional but he later admitted he was wrong after I suggested he check with the manager. Veg and non veg options were in the same heated trays and food items were not all labelled to indicate what was veg. Horrendous experience with onward transport arranged through hotel. It was expensive but I was promised a new comfortable car with large boot. I complained to the transport owner after getting an old rusty dented vehicle which didn’t fit our bags. He was very rude and said look elsewhere! Ended up with a 13 year old van which was stopped by other drivers on route as the buffer was falling off and then stopped working near the destination as ‘ it struggles with hill climbs’ so we had to stop and let the car rest and drive slowly . The driver was however excellent and professional in dealing with the poorly maintained vehicle. I would recommend booking a vehicle privately and checking the condition the day before. I asked to speak with the general manager a few times during the stay but was told he was not available. Poor customer service and apathetic management ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Great breakfast, good location.

Friendly staff. Could do with a gym though ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Ben 19 Oct 2019 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Water dripping from ceiling, water heater intermittent, drainage problems in the bathroom, lots of mosquitoes in the bedroom. Staff are nice but seemed sleepy and inattentive. When checking out, guy at reception really couldn’t care less if I dropped dead in front of him. Unpleasant. Wouldn’t stay here or at any Thilanka hotels again. ##### Ben Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good value for money.

Le personnel est serviable. le restaurant est très bien. Le seul Bémol : J'ai réservé pour 3 (2 adultes et 1 enfant de 14 ans) et une fois sur place j'ai du payer un supplément pour un lit pour mon fils. Malgré la confirmation pour 3 seulement 1 lit pour 2\. ##### magali Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Heidi 15 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A good stay :) SO welcoming and a VERY early check -in with huge smiles.
