Hotels in der Nähe von Sendeniya Royal Temple - සේන්දෙනිය රජමහා විහාරය, Kandy

A very mixed bag. First the positives. The location is stunning about 35 minutes above Kandy with lovely views to the Knuckles and a quiet location. The bungalow is a lovely building with 9 rooms and very nicely laid out common areas. Dining is on a very nice veranda with an excellent view across the valley. The bedroom was very large and very well appointed. A very large and comfortable bed, plenty of storage and very good aircon. The bathroom was nicely appointed with an excellent shower, good pressure hot water and plenty of towels. Housekeeping was excellent and the place was spotless. But there are problems. First we had a problem with a major flood of our bathroom on our first morning when a valve apparently failed. It was sorted out promptly while we were out but it wasn't great paddling around in litres of hot water. And no one in authority ever said sorry. Second the food. We found it indifferent. The western breakfasts reminded us (for British readers) of Little Chef bordering on the unpleasant. Dinners were simply dull ranging across a range of cuisines. The service was chaotic. Orders for drinks were forgotten, food took an age to arrive despite being asked to specify dinner times in advance. There seemed to be no one in charge to make sure that serving staff, some of whom were very pleasant, were coordinated and looking after guests in a timely manner. Worryingly the one competent member of the service team was leaving. A range of guest activities are offered. We enjoyed one excellent long hike but a booking for an afternoon/evening nature walk was simply forgotten and the alternative offered was a poor experience. We were annoyed to be woken up one morning by another guest's child playing the grand piano in the main lounge loudly and badly at 6.30am. No action was be taken to stop this. We stayed 4 nights. I found it very odd that I kept being asked by various members of staff on days 2 and 3 if I was leaving the next day. Surely they should have some system so that everyone knows how long guests are staying. On the receiving end it just felt a bit rude. None of this should be difficult to fix needing some decent and visible on site management. What is deeply annoying is that this is probably the most expensive hotel in the area. They need to do much better at this price.

The hotel is beautifully situated on the hillside of Kandy with a marvellous view. Our room was very large, very clean and with the perfect view of Kandy, The staff are very friendly. Kogul in particular helped us with all our questions and organised the transport and an unforgettable Kandy day tour for us. He is a born host. The breakfast is highly recommended and we also had an excellent dinner. The best Hotel we had on our Sri Lanka round trip, Many Thanks to the staff of ”The Summit” to make our stay in Kandy so special.

Nice place, clean, very helpful and service minded staff and a nice rooftop pool. Breakfast was tasty and quite large, perfect before a train trip to Ella. Only minus was that the AC was acting a but strange, and the room had no windows facing outside. So the night time was hot, and it was a bit difficult to sleep well. Might have been bad luck.

Das Zimmer ist sauber und komfortabel. Der Hall und der Pool sind sehr komfortabel und können den ganzen Tag bleiben! Die Umgebung ist sehr gut, es gibt einen See neben dem Hotel und eine kleine Bergsteige. Am Morgen erhoben sich und hörte die Vogel singen, richtig, es gibt viele Schnecken 😄

Die Atmosphäre im ersten Stock ist sehr gut, das Frühstücksbuffet ist auch gut, aber die Bierbärchen sind ein bisschen alt, ☕️ Es gibt viele Variablen, aber das Zimmer ist noch ein bisschen klein! Ich dachte nicht, dass das Zimmer eine chinesische Strombäume hat, das Zimmer sollte ein spezielles Design für Menschen in verschiedenen Ländern sein.

Das Hotel ist nicht so klein, der Pool ist sehr klein, mini-Typisch, das Zimmer im Inneren ist nicht schlecht

Wir waren im Rahmen einer Rundreise zwei Nächte in diesem Hotel. Der Service war top, angefangen vom Check in bis hin zum Service im Restaurant. Die Zimmer waren sauber, der Zustand der Zimmer sehr gut. Das Buffet war wirklich sehr gut und abwechslungsreich an beiden Tagen. Insgesamt können wir dieses Hotel nur empfehlen.

This is our 4th visit. It has now become a regular feature in our tour itinerary. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of central kandy and yet be within a convenient motorable distance, this is the place for you. The service is personal with a butler. The place is exquisitely clean. The background music in the restaurant is hauntingly beautiful. And it IS in the background. Our room had the most comfortable bed i have slept in anywhere. The bathroom is the best designed i have come across. Front office manager mr udaya and the butler miss niluka, deserve special mention. We shall surely return. Dr asoka weerakkody
