Even if you choose not to stay here, you must eat here! The food was incredible and freshly prepared every day. Dinner was served buffet style ( but not 'cooked last week and kept luke warm' type of buffet) with a choice of about 15 typical Sri Lankan dishes all explained by the owner. Lovely girl who serves all the... More

Sharon Inn is a beautifully clean, well located and reasonably priced guest house. Unlike some of the other places we have stayed in Sri Lanka, it really felt like a home and so well cared for. It was fantastic! The owners are kind, courteous and so welcoming. In contrast to some of the comments here, we felt very welcome and... More

I spent three days in Kandy and felt at home at Sharon Inn. Very friendly personal, A+ cuisine (best rice & curry I had in Sri Lanka) and Mr Faiesz who helped me a lot and managed even to find a room in Ella in the impossible period of New Year. Thank you all! Seda Toksoy from Istanbul

This was the 2nd of 4 places we stayed in Sri Lanka, and one of the cleanest. We chose an airconditioned room - it was large and airy , has a balcony where you can sit, and a large bathroom. The Sri Lankan buffet dinner consists of a good variety of food and very delicious, We ate one other buffet... More

We stayed at the Sharon Inn from April 1-4, 2013. The best things I can say about this hotel have already been said millions of times in other peoples' reviews: the food is delicious, the beds are comfortable and the place is very clean. These were huge pluses - but there were a number of drawbacks that kept me from... More

The rooms on the top floor are amazing with an stunning view to the city. Besides there's an entrance to the top terrace that gives you a 360 view. A bit pricey but totally worth it for a relaxed, safe good night sleep. Besides they arrange dinners for 1100 R which are delish with a great service!!

This hotel was extremely well maintained and very clean. The (included) breakfasts were lovely. We didnt eat in the restaurant as the price of the buffet was a little pricey compared to other places in Sri Lanka which put us off going in. However the food always looked lovely and the restaurant was full (which is a good sign). The... More

This was an interesting place. The room we stayed in had a great view of the lake, was impeccably clean, comfortable mattresses and a good mosquito net. However, this being said I think that Sharon Inn, like a few other places to stay in Sri Lanka, have used their good review in Lonely Planet to hike the prices up A... More

We stayed at Sharon Inn in February for 4 nights and found our hosts Sue and Faiez helpful, warm and honest. Happily prepared to sit and chat and share their knowledge and experiences, which extended one of our breakfasts till lunchtime! Our room (No 5) was basic and very clean with all the requirements you look for in a guest... More

Easy to communicate with local owner and his European wife when making reservation. The hotel is perched on a hill among many other hotels on the other side of the lake as compared to downtown and Buddha Tooth Temple. Allow 20-30 min walk or use tuktuk. Rooms are spacious and clean and security seems good. My room was a bit... More
