As a tourleader I consider this hotel excellent value for my guests. The oldest hotel in Kandy is located in the centre of the city within walking distance from the must see 'Temple of the Tooth' and from several banks, restaurants, cafe's and pubs. Tuktuk are the most conveniant way to go to places within Kandy and you find them... More

The Queen's Hotel was inaugurated in 1844, many important guests have passed through their rooms. The location is perfect in next to the Temple of the Tooth, in front of the lake.  The Bar, lobby, ball room, restaurant, lift are all as were  80 or 90 years ago!  And the room also!  (The hotel require urgently to be restored).  The...

Asked for a quiet room- got one over the busy intersection. Expect loud, loud traffic at night and them starts again at 6:00am. Really disappointed that despite great location and exterior, there was just no care in the room that hasn't been upgraded since 1901- except for a aircon stuck above the bed ( which dripped water coincidently on your...

The following points should give readers a fair assessment of this establishment. Overall: The Queens is a beautiful Victorian building opposite the Temple of the tooth in central Kandy town. It offers the best seats in the house for The Kandy Perahera (August) pageant and prices increase significantly during the period. Accommodation: It is shabby, rundown and dirty. I spent... More

This was my second visit in three years and what a disappointment, I had asked for a better room than last time and was assured the room was beautiful, it was nothing of the kind. Old tired furniture, cracked walls, generally shabby. The hotel is approx 140 yrs old so management have tried a little to keep the tradition going,... More

The fact that it is a historic building made this hotel has it own charm. The room rate is not cheap per Sri Lanka standard and also not compatible with the room condition/services that you would expect with that rate, but still, worth to try this hotel. Though, the hotel staffs speak good english. Pro: Free wifi but only at... More

In March myself and my Father were fortunate to stay at the Queen's Hotel in Kandy. From the moment staff took my car away to park it, until the moment it was brought back to the front door, we were treated with such incredible professionalism, friendliness and personal service that we both vowed to retrun and to spread the good...

Stayed 3 nights and loved the atmosphere. Were woken up at 5.30 each morning by drumming and chanting from the temple but got used to it. Beautiful room with lots of flowers and towels folded into swans. Lovely staff. Good old colonial bar with good service. Lovely swimming pool in the small garden at the back. Breakfast was dire and... More
