The hot water in the shower only lasted for one shower. The food catered by the hotel, whilst it was really nice, was expensive (£100+ for two).

The setting was beautiful, pool was lovely. Staff were friendly and the room was a nice size. It was nice to be outside of Kandy in the hills rather than in the town.

While the Sri Lankan food was great, the Club Sandwich we had for a change of pace was the worst we’ve ever had by far - literally embarrassingly bad - too much bone dry powdery bread (not proper toast) and hardly any filling. Overseas prices in USD for food leaves one feeling taken advantage of.

Most everything was terrific, especially the design, grounds and staff.

Dinner was good but everything was marked up in USD - that’s an overreach.

The room was spectacular and the main building was classic SL/Kandian with a Bawa feel and the back yard, garden and pool were beautiful. Breakfast was tremendous.

We really liked the privacy offered by the hotel. It is ideal for someone who wants to spend time in a quiet place with natural beauty all around you. The staff was super friendly and showed high service levels. The food was delicious and tea served justice to the legacy of Ceylon tea. Though it is priced high compared to other properties, it is justified with the exclusivity it offers

Nothing!

Exceptional hotel. The hospitality and attention to detail at this hotel is phenomenal. From the moment you drive through the gate you are greeted with friendly faces and outstanding service. The presentation of the rooms and turn down service is beautiful. The food in the restaurant was also delicious. We felt truly spoilt and were sad to leave.

Sri Lanka marks my 37th country, and because of this world-class boutique hotel, Kandy has risen to my top favorite places on earth. For a small few accommodations, Sri Lanka offers’ ‘Level 1 Hotels’ for travelers that must quarantine upon arrival. This cutting-edge ‘bio-bubble’ methodology is to help safeguard the health and safety of not only the hotel guests but locals. Truly innovative and should be mirrored by other countries as they begin to open for tourism. My guide and Marketing and Sales Director Angelo was incredible. Everything from the food, massage therapy, and day excursions with an awesome ‘Pilot’ driver was well planned and thoughtful. Angelo and his team were very attentive, even helping navigate the complex process of entering the country from California, Doha, and Colombo. Kings Pavilion has a peaceful atmosphere. The hotel has a nostalgic blend of historic colonial architecture and humble design, with a relaxing spa and swimming pool (perfect for a chic photo). The property gardens are lush and well maintained. Angelo upgraded me before arrival and my jaw dropped upon entering the 1000 square foot of space overlooking the remarkably green backdrop of Kandy. My room was gorgeous with a large bathroom space with even a European jacuzzi tub. Breakfast and dinners were delicious each day between western and Asian choices, Sri Lankan being my favorite. Everything the Kings Pavilion staff does is well executed and done with love. It was a perfect getaway and a powerful introduction to the ‘teardrop jewel nation’ of the Indian Ocean. I look forward to staying here on my next trip in Kandy and highly recommend reaching out to Angelo Gibson. A proud Sri Lankan, he knows the country well. Having a dedicated guide and national ambassador like him is everything. They can make or break an experience!

Exceptional Location, World-Class Staff!
