Fort WindShire

It states 4 star but it is not even 3 star. The only good thing is room size. Bathroom is tiny. No lobby which includes a couple of sofa, no open space. No where to stroll you are just confined to your room. I didn't check ( thought breakfast is included, I am sure that I selected with breakfast option ; my mistake ) while booking but after paying 120 USD what you get is just a place to sleep. Please never book

Getting to this hotel is a slight task - since it sits atop a mountain, the ride up is almost like a roller coaster going up, but once you reach it, it makes all worth it. The property is quaint, but beautiful. If you love Harry Potter/Narnia/Norse mythology, you will love this place. The rooms are large and well-appointed and very clean, but it is the staff who will win you over! I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Beautiful place with spacious and comfortable rooms. All amenities were provided. Location is great as it is away from the city, the approach road is better navigated with a 4 wheel, but doable with a car - we did it. Nice location , can travel to nearby attractions easily. It gets quite misty all of a sudden and nothing can be seen then! We had good views of the village but the mountain view was spoilt by the other buildings on the side. Great view of Pidurutalagala though. Food was the best, every dish we sampled was excellent. Staff was courteous, kind and helpful and would go that extra mile to make sure the stay was great. Would definitely visit again.

I recently visited Sri Lanka with my family for a short holiday from Australia, and our experience at Fort Windshire made the trip unforgettable. The location offers stunning views, and the hospitality from the staff was exceptional. The rooms were spacious, super clean, and incredibly comfortable with all the amenities needed for a family stay. The food was fantastic—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented with a variety of menu options to suit any dietary needs. The in-room spa was a lovely added touch. Located in a convenient area, allowing us to easily visit key attractions in a short amount of time. Highly recommend Fort Windshire for a memorable stay!

Vielen Dank für die herzliche Begrüßung. Wir haben uns in Ihrem außergewöhnlichen Haus (Burgcharakter) sehr wohl gefühlt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist Ihr aufmerksamer Service und vorzügliche Küche (Frühstück und Abendessen). Mit dem TukTuk waren wir schnell im Ortskern.

Visiting this hotel for the second time was an absolute delight. As someone in the hospitality industry, I often notice the finer details, and this property exceeded all my expectations once again. The location is simply stunning, offering breathtaking views of the hills from the comfort of the hotel. Witnessing the magical sunrises and sunsets here is an experience in itself—a perfect way to unwind and connect with nature’s beauty. The rooms were impeccably clean, thoughtfully arranged, and equipped with every amenity you might need, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free stay. From plush bedding to well-stocked toiletries, the attention to detail was remarkable. Dining was another highlight, with food that was both exquisite and creatively presented. Every meal felt like a celebration of flavors, further enhanced by the friendly and attentive service. Special thanks to the chef and his outstanding team for making dining such a memorable experience. I must also commend Richard, who is a true asset to the property. His dedication to ensuring everything runs smoothly and his exceptional organizational skills stood out. While I don’t remember everyone’s names, I can confidently say that all the staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and humble, making my stay truly special. It’s rare for someone in the same industry to be this impressed, but this hotel has redefined hospitality for me. They don’t just provide a service they create an unforgettable experience that blends impeccable care with breathtaking natural beauty. I can’t wait for my next visit!
