The infinity pool views over the Hantana mountains are genuinely world-class
It’s dead quiet compared to the noisy, traffic-choked Kandy city center
Theva Cuisine serves high-end fusion food that actually lives up to the price tag
クイックテイク: A stunning hillside sanctuary with million-dollar views that distract you from the slightly tired bathrooms and the steep, potholed road to get there.
@liyah_fa_ によるレビュー: I stayed here for a weekend recharge and the silence was exactly what I needed. Waking up to that mountain mist and having egg hoppers by the pool was a highlight. If you want privacy near Kandy, this is it.

The hype
Travelers are universally obsessed with the infinity pool and the staff's friendliness, often calling it the 'best view in Kandy.'
Reality check
Guests consistently mention that the bathrooms and some room fixtures feel 'tired' or 'outdated' for the price point, with specific complaints about wear and tear in the penthouse.
You prioritize silence and mountain views over being walking distance to shops
You are on a honeymoon or romantic getaway
You want a boutique hotel (only 15 rooms) where staff know your name
清潔さと保守管理
8.2
Housekeeping: Daily and generally attentive, but some guests report missed dust in corners.
Bathroom hygiene: Clean but aging. Grout lines show wear, and some tubs have peeling sealant.
Maintenance: The biggest weak point. Reports of peeling paint, finicky AC units, and 'tired' steam room facilities.
Linens & towels: Fresh and clean, though towels can feel a bit thin/worn compared to brand new 5-star chains.
Odors & scents: Generally fresh, with occasional wafts of damp earth/jungle smell due to the humidity.

知っておくと良いこと
The hotel is 15-20 minutes from Kandy train station by tuk-tuk (approx. 400-600 LKR).
Sri Lankan breakfast (string hoppers, curry) must be ordered the night before—do it, it's better than the western option.
Uber/PickMe drivers often cancel rides to/from here due to the steep hill; rely on the hotel to call a trusted driver.
持ち物
Mosquito repellent (you are in the jungle hills)
A light sweater or wrap (evenings in the hills get breezy)
Universal power adapter (Type D/G plugs used)
ルームジニー
おすすめ
Penthouse Suite: Floor-to-ceiling glass walls on three sides for the ultimate panorama.
Superior Mountain View: Best value balance of view and price, often includes a jacuzzi.
避けるべきお部屋
Standard Deluxe rooms on lower floors if you want the unobstructed 'wow' view—trees can block sightlines.
ルームリクエストジニー – コピー&ペースト
“I am booking specifically for the Hantana mountain views. Please assign a room on the highest possible floor with an unobstructed sightline, away from the kitchen exhaust if possible.”
FAQ と隠された便利な使い方
ご予約前に本当に知りたいことすべて
Is there a pool?
Yes, a stunning infinity pool overlooking the valley. It is unheated, so it can feel brisk in the mornings.
Is it walkable to the Temple of the Tooth?
No. It is a steep 4-5km journey. You cannot walk it comfortably; you need a vehicle.
Do they serve alcohol?
Yes, there is a fully licensed bar with a good cocktail list and wine selection.
Is there a spa?
Technically yes (sauna/steam room), but reviews suggest they are outdated and not a highlight. Don't expect a full luxury spa menu.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but check your specific rate. The Sri Lankan breakfast is highly recommended over the continental.
Are there hidden fees?
Standard Sri Lankan service charge (10%) and taxes usually apply. No specific 'resort fee' found.
インサイダー情報
✨
Ask for a table on the lower terrace deck for dinner—it's more private than the main dining room.
✨
The 'Chilli Crab' at the restaurant is a hidden gem dish, often better than the main menu staples.
✨
If you arrive by train, call the hotel in advance to arrange a pick-up; station touts will overcharge you massively for the hill climb.
行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The 'sauna' is basically a small wooden room that guests rarely use; it's not a selling point.
💡You might spot wild boars or porcupines on the road up at night.
💡The Wi-Fi can be spotty in the corner rooms due to the concrete construction.
💡The 'Jacuzzi' in some suites is more of a jetted tub than a hot tub—don't expect boiling hot water.
💡Monkeys will absolutely steal food left on your balcony. Lock it up.
