Arriving at sunset, my first impressions of Castle Hill were positive. The sweeping driveway and luscious garden complemented the gorgeous views of Kandy from the elevated position of the Main House. Rather than rushing to check out the room, I sat and watched the sunset and took in the scenery of the Kandy Lake, Sri Dalada Maligawa and town situated... More

The Castle Hill appealed because of its colonial period architecture and decor. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience on a number of fronts. As per other reviews we and our driver were offended by the ' no Sri Lankans allowed' sign at the front entrance. When we arrived there were two ugly 'container rooms' waiting to be positioned beside... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in November. The place is ideally located in Kandy with great views of the lake, temple and giant Buddha. However, the bathroom was dirty even though there were 4 cleaners in it as we arrived...... At night the mosquitos will keep you awake. Even though the doors were closed, but we discovered the next morning... More

The mosquito net hanging... More

I stayed at castle hill for just one night - which was enough. The setting is beautiful overlooking the Temple of the tooth and Kandy rooftops, the garden is very well kept and a pleasure to walk in. However the house is another matter, it's straight out of the 1920's and looks as though it's not been decorated since, furniture... More

The Castle Hill guest house is for those who want to experience life as it was in Kandy in the 1950s.The rooms are huge and the lounge area looks out onto the garden with great views. Dont come if you expect pristine conditions throughout....yes there are a few damp spots in the bathroom. Come if you want olde world charm... More

Following a famous guide book we arrived to the Castle Hill guest house in Kandy.  Some minutes after we discovered that the establishment practises racism discrimination! Our Sri Lanka friend was not allowed to enter in! After our request about the respect of human rights denied, we immediately leaved the hotel. On 2012 in the Sri Lanka capital of buddhism... More
