We had a great time at Blue Pillars. A little out of town but transportation is cheap so that's largely irrelevant, otherwise its only a 15 minute walk to town. Staff are great, very helpful and very friendly. The breakfast they cook is some of the best Sri Lankan food we have had. Rooms were clean, spacious and had a balcony to sit and relax

Great space with unreal hospitality

Excellent place to stay! Stuart is amazingly helpful, and was so accommodating. We loved the breakfast (five different options including Sri Lankan) and honestly could not have had a better overall experience. About a 25 minute walk from Temple of the Tooth, so easy to get around. Loved! Recommend without any hesitation.

Lite hotell, nær sentrum. Fremstår noe sjuskete, manglet bl.a.håndklær på rommet og ingen badeartikler fulgte med. Lå nær en kennel noe som medførte endel bråk. Bra service og god frokost.

Lovely hideaway with great staff

This hotel was so much more than we expected based on the photos. It’s up a little hill just outside of Kandy, but still only a short 10 minute walk into town. It’s very clean, very quiet, and very peaceful. The food was fantastic, particularly the delicious and large portioned breakfast. The main member of staff was absolutely wonderful, really helpful and friendly. The air-conditioning works really well and we had a fantastic night sleep. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Nice hotel, a bit difficult to reach

It is on a hill with a very steep driveway, difficult for some cars to reach. Nice view from room and breakfast terrace. Freshly cooked meals.No credit card payment, obly cash!!! If you have luggage and order a taxi, be precise that you need a car for two persons and not a Tuk-Tuk.

Excellent

Amazing staff. You feel at home right from the check-in. Staff really helpful and super friendly. We got a welcome drink on the top of the hotel from where you can enjoy the view. Beds were comfy. Shower maybe a little too small especially with too small curtain the floor gets wet. To the center it takes 25 minutes to walk. A tuk tuk costs 200-250. We loved this place!

Perfect place to stay in Kandy

This hotel is very nice. I felt very welcomed by the hostess who had plenty of tips and was very helpful and friendly. The restaurant has got a beautiful view and great food. Finally, the rooms are lovely, with your own little terrace overlooking the busy city. Perfect

很棒的飯店值得推薦Great hotel is recommended

飯店位在往大佛的山路上，頂樓可以看到大佛，視野很好。飯店設施很棒且乾淨，有充足的熱水洗澡，員工的服務親切，老闆很熱情，還有迎賓果汁和毛巾，我覺得是值得推薦的飯店。 The hotel is located on the mountain road to the Big Buddha. The top floor can see the big Buddha and the view is very good. The hotel facilities are excellent and clean, there is plenty of hot water bathing, the staff is friendly, the boss is very welcoming, and there are juices and towels when we arrive. I think it is a recommended restaurant.
