Elegant Hotel

We stayed two nights at Elegant Hotel, very welcome after a long drive, check in was seamless and pleasant, Amali on reception personally showed us our room and explained the surrounding area. The gardens are superb and beautifully maintained on a daily basis. The pool is sparkling clean with a beautiful mountain view. We stayed in a Deluxe room which had a beautiful and comfortable king bed, 3 seater sofa, bar fridge, tea/coffee, bathroom is clean and functional. Air con works well and there is a ceiling fan which we appreciated. There is a large sliding door out onto a lovely terrace with mountain views, the room is lovely and bright with elegant drapes. All staff are so pleasant and professional, always greeting you and getting on with their work. A very special thanks to Roshan who provided exceptional service at breakfast and dinner and is such an asset to the hotel, we can’t praise him high enough. Thank you Roshan. We also met the owner of the hotel who is a wonderful human being, he looks after his staff and genuinely cares about them and about the customer experience. He is genuine and you can feel it across all aspects of the hotel. They also organised a surprise birthday cake for my 60th which was very touching. Wi fi in the room is a bit patchy and didn’t work at all in the dining room. The location of the Hotel is half hour out of Kandy and a bit tricky but well worth it for the serenity and the experience and escape from chaotic Kandy and surrounds, we highly recommend to stay a few nights at Elegant Hotel.

Can't say enough about this very elegant hotel with an exceptional staff and outstanding sunrise and sunset views. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by helpful staff and a beverage reception to make you feel welcome. Super clean rooms have large sliding doors and large balconies. The linens and decorations are modern and sharp! The interior of the rest of the hotel is as the hotel is called, "Elegant"! A spacious formal dining room with a large veranda to allow indoor and outdoor dining and all with views. Not to be missed!

My wife and I recently enjoyed an exceptional 8 night stay at the Elegant Hotel, all in terms of the accommodation, staff and stunning views. We stayed in the top floor presidential suite which offers very clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation and which further afforded us all round 360 degree views from our outside private terraces, offering both spectacular sunsets and sunrises. From our private terraces we also enjoyed close observation of eagles, kingfishers, fruit bats and countless other colourful birds and mammals such as the palm squirrel. The location of the hotel enjoys a very peaceful and serene setting surrounded by a combination of stunning jungle and mountain views which we very much enjoyed as we relaxed within the immaculately maintained private garden grounds and very spacious swimming pool. Another major contributor to our exceptional stay were the staff. Headed up by hotel manager Lucky, who looked after our every need within the hotel and in addition, professionaly and personaly arranged all our sightseeing trips providing very comfortable transport and a friendly knowledgeable driver. We dined most nights at the hotel enjoying a variety of freshly prepared excellent local Sri Lankan meals served up with a smile by Roshan and Herath, whom we got to know well and prepared to an exceptional standard by a trio of friendly Sri Lankan chefs, the head chef having gained extensive experience and knowledge while working for many years in Dubai. We attended the live cooking demonstration with the chefs which was both educational and very entertaining. My wife enjoyed an exhilarating massage in the hotel spa which she would very highly recommend. All the staff in this unique, comfortable and cosy boutique hotel are exceptional and all of whom we cannot praise highly enough, from the all smilng reception girls to housekeeping, gardener laundry staff and security guard ( and the hotel peacocks ). Thank you all and See you again
