Lovely. 
My partner picked it as part of a 5 hotel tour of the country. She played a blinder. Very steep slope down to the house which our mini taxi negotiated well but the tuctucs wouldn’t try; 1:4 if not 1:3 slope. I speak rudimentary Sinhala so the staff were utterly and visibly delighted with my introductions ( tip: learn just a little Sinhala and it reaps rewards). No passport or checkin needed, bags delivered to the room without us meeting the  man responsible. The room (river view) was excellent, a wrap around balcony with two chairs but no light bulb (sorted on request). Only a thin sheet as normal and effective A/C. Hot tap on shower needs running for a while, it’s the one on the right! The power points are very scarce, with some round pinned ones. The tiny TV had no remote, not a problem as it needed two sockets for telly and free view box and only one socket! No minibar or kettle as per the spec.

The pool area is utterly wonderful overlooking the river. Yes, it has mozzies; it’s Sri Lanka by a river, and the few heavy showers brought them out. The pool is lovely, the decor elegant and the staff really attentive. My partner loved the food but I’m a fussybum and didn’t; the last nights compulsory buffet was poor. Yes, it needs TLC but after the 2019 bombings followed by Covid, the tourist industry is just recovering. Light bulbs missing and some imaginative electrical work visible, but otherwise a delightful hotel and a joy to stay in.

Kandy isn’t the nicest place. The Tooth Temple is not to be missed, no shoes or hats allowed. We went to 2 pubs; The Pub (excellent) and the Jail bar ( cheap and sold us beer on a Poya day 😬) Tuctucs at the tourist spots do NOT negotiate so don’t try (although I got a 1200/- trip negotiated down to 600/- by speaking Sinhala), always use the PickMe app as the best and cheapest. The Royal Botanical Gardens are utterly wonderful so do not miss them.

A gem of a find

Stayed there on two occasions.  The rooms were clean and we had a comfortable stay.  Good views and the property is well maintained.  they also serve a good breakfast.  Overall an enjoyable experience.

Neat and clean room with a good view

The hotel rooms have nice river view but the rest is to be fixed. The rooms and the bathroom are of tipical local standard with minor damages. You will need to bring your own shampoo and shower gel. The lack of kettle in the room is always  bad news. The food was quite modest - the scrambled eggs without the yolks.

Great view and that’s it.

We only stayed for one night but it was exactly what we wanted during our tour. We were on our feet all day looking around Kandy, and so although it was only a short distance in the car,  we felt like we had escaped to a relaxing countryside hotel on the river. Lovely food and friendly staff.

A quiet escape from busy Kandy

Lovely family run villa, very large rooms overlooking the river.  Great pool, although we were only staying 1 night, so weren't able to take advantage of it.  Good dinner and breakfast, very friendly family.

Tranquil with lovely view

Kandy, itself, is very busy with a lot of traffic. It was good to stay in a quieter place nearby right next to the river. We stayed two nights and ate at the hotel both nights. Good large rooms, comfy bed, good food and a nice pool.

Lovely quiet spot next to the River

My family and I had a wonderful stay in this villa...The rooms were spacious with good facilities...It had a good view facing the lake...Breakfast was very good...They had varieties of breakfast such as chapati,dhal,coconut sambal,pancake,toast,fruits,coffee and juice...I would recommend villa for those who would like to stay in Kandy...

Good view Villa

We stayed two nights at the Riverside Villas. Very accommodating staff who paid every attention to our needs. Location next to the river is fabulous, both for the morning at breakfast and the evening with a quiet drink. Food was great, nice breakfasts with a good choice for dinner. We'd come again!

Peaceful location, good food, good rooms

Very peaceful place, with a beautiful view on a river, a bit out of the center of Kandy. 
The food was excellent, from sri lankan food to european food. 
Everything is very clean and nice, we highly recommend this place.

Very good place

We stayed here just one night and really enjoyed it, would stay here again. It's a bit out of kandy centre but excellent elevated views over the river from all rooms and the nice and comfortable pool and restaurant area. Excellent rice and curry dinner and we even shared a few Arracks and got some handy advice from the owner.
