    Earl's Regent Hotel in Kandy, Sri Lanka, is a great place to stay for anyone visiting the city. The hotel is situated in a beautiful location, surrounded by lush greenery and stunning views of the mountains. The rooms at Earl's Regent Hotel are spacious, clean, and well-furnished, with all the amenities one would need for a comfortable stay. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. The staff members at Earl's Regent Hotel are friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any questions or concerns. They are knowledgeable about the local area and can provide great recommendations for places to visit and things to do.

The food is fresh, tasty, and well-prepared, making it a great dining experience. In addition to the great rooms and dining options, Earl's Regent Hotel also has great facilities, including a swimming pool, a fitness center, and a spa. These facilities are well-maintained and clean, making them a great place to relax and unwind. Overall, Earl's Regent Hotel is a great place to stay in Kandy, Sri Lanka, with spacious rooms, friendly staff members, great dining options, and excellent facilities.

    Located at picturesque Kandy, this hotel offers nice rooms with a good view. The approach road is a bit tardy to say the least. The interiors of the hotel are old and need immediate upgrade. The rooms are decent but the bathroom is too small and staid. The towels and toiletries are old fashioned too. The food is decent with good mix of veg and non veg. The breakfast spread is better than the dinner buffet. The desserts are repetitive. The SriLankan menu can be improved. Overall decent place to stay for a short time.

    I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Sri Lanka. This was on the top of the list of the best stays. Staff was very hospitable and there for every need of mine. The pool and the nature surrounding this hotel will take your breath away. Wake up with the birds singing outside our windows. We had a beautiful room with a big balcony overlooking the forest. Thank you to all staff and management for making this experience special!

    Lovely place and lovely location. As part of our recent Srilanka ride we stayed here for a night and the hotel was very charming. The rooms were very well maintained and had a old charm. We had dinner at their restaurant and it was very tasty. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.

    I was approached by management when attempting to eat breakfast and told I wouldn’t be allowed to enter wearing a tank top. Since I was here on vacation all I brought were tank tops. They advised me that I wouldn’t be allowed to enter for breakfast (that was supposed to be included in my rate) or for dinner. The view from our room was nice and other staff that I have interacted with were helpful. I think that it should be made known to me before booking that I wouldn’t be able to eat here if I wore a tank top, because I wouldn’t have booked at a different location.

    Stayed four nights here and had the best time. Food was delicious, staff were so knowledgeable and attentive and organised everything for me. I came on a solo trip and was welcomed by all and wouldn't hesitate coming back here again. Special thanks to Ruwan who went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable and comfortable. :)

    Located in Kandy near Peradeniya. There are two hotels by the names of Earl’s Regency & Earl’s Regent which are sister hotels 🏨 and both located in Kandy. Make sure you double check the last part of the hotel name before you commence your journey. I have had the same experience. I booked the hotel through a A***a and when reach the check in counter the counter staff said they don’t have a booking by my name. He had to make several call to to find out my booking details which took around 20 minutes. Finally they found it assign me the room booked by my self. Amenities and facilities are up-to date. Rooms were clean and neat. Has a good size balcony. Buffet was pretty decent and the restaurant staff were very friendly. Has a good size swimming 🏊‍♀️ pool. Disinfectants are placed almost everywhere of the hotel. Don’t forget to climb to roof top and get a panoramic view. Overall very good hotel and worth for the money. Recommend.

    They offer a reasonable prices for stays. The staff was friendly, and their service was okay. Inside the hotel, the ambiance was okay, but more towards a city type hotel. Room was fine, but needs to be more clean and tidy. There's nothing special with the outside view. The most disgusting thing was the food quality. The dinner, appeared to be okay, but completely ruined the next day. The hotel should take necessary actions to improve their quality of food. I never expected such an issue from a reputed hotel chain like this!

    The service, room & food were exceptional here, and worth to note, the welcoming attitude of the staff (from the front-desk to the security); they have done everything to uphold the joy/ expectations we had during the stay. Good Food, good vibes; and a good verity of options in buffer…. Enjoyed the Mountbatten suite and time in the hotel, and nothing to complain about at all

    I recently stayed at the Earls Regent in Kandy, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly the restaurant staff; they were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and made dining a delightful experience. The food served at the hotel was also quite good, offering a variety of options to cater to different tastes. Whether you're a fan of local Sri Lankan cuisine or prefer international dishes, you're likely to find something to your liking. The presence of a swimming pool was a nice touch, although it should be noted that it's in a very public area, which may not suit those seeking a more private and secluded atmosphere. The rooms at the Earls Regent were clean and comfortable, providing a cozy environment for a good night's rest. The availability of parking is a convenience for travelers with their own vehicles. In summary, if you're looking for a hotel for a one-night stay in Kandy, Earls Regent could be a suitable choice. The friendly restaurant staff, good food, clean rooms, and parking availability make it a decent option for a short visit.

    The hotel was good but not great. The welcoming was not good because there was a wedding. But the food was good had a good buffet, and the room was perfectly cleaned. Overall service was moderately good. The other thing I observed was that the pool wasn't that big like it showed in the photos.

    Not bad. Not the best. For a night its fine. But just for sleep 😊. Not for relax. Checkin was smooth. Restaurant staff was nice. But tiny issues were there. Overall fine.

    I spent a night at the hotel with my family. Rooms is spacious and had a king size bed. TV is 32 inch but had HD channels. There is a balcony with a great view but unfortunately the door is locked so we could not enter. Buffet wasn't available so we had to go with set menus. Food was not tasty at all. Pool is small. The hotel staff is working hard to maintain the health safety during this pandemic and I'm thankful for that.

    Great place for the price they are offering. Really worth. Do not expect buffet but expect really tasty selection of set menus. Quite yummy filling as well. Staff is welcoming and the rooms are good for a 4 star yet the room is a bit small when compared to the photos.

    We had a short stay here as part of a tour of Sri Lanka, so arrived quite late and left fairly early - probably didn’t manage to make the most of the hotel! It was a great value stay. The rooms were spacious and clean, and breakfast buffet was nice and very varied. Check in and check out were slightly slow. Rooms for your driver and their dinner/breakfast buffet is included and no extra charge.

  • 3/5 Fardina F. 3 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    The rooms were spacious, clean and big. The balcony was a highlight. We got a partial view of the mountain and another house - so that was not ideal but otherwise the room was fantastic. Shower was high pressure and good. In house dining service was good. Breakfast buffet had great diversity and quality was overall okay. Sri Lankan options were limited though :( Overall, the hotel looks better in the day. It looks a little run down and outdated but otherwise a good one night stay as a pit stop.

  • 5/5 Madara G. 9 months ago on Google
    We had bad experience. Our vehicle was knocked by another vehicle at hotel car park. It is their Responsibility to provide safe parking. Their friendliness was very poor after the incident. They politly escape from the problem and we had to find our own solution and had to spend our own pocket because of their poor quality service.

  • 5/5 Nandakumar K. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent customer service! Staffs are friendly and welcoming, also well trained! worth the price you spend, comparing to other hotels in Kandy, I would highly recommend this hotel! Calm, peaceful, delicious food (buffets), smiley faces, clean, safe..what else to expect 😀

  • 5/5 Rekha M. 1 year ago on Google
    The best hotel I have been to. The room was exactly as shown in the images. The dinner buffet spread was huge. It had almost everything that you can eat ranging from noodles to Ceylon Paratha to desserts. The breakfast Buffet was also superb. I'd say it is the most value for money. When we reached the hotel it had just rained and stopped. So the location looked surreal.

  • 4/5 Hesh S. 1 year ago on Google
    A gem in the city, we had a relaxing time with great food. The staff was very accommodating and the pool was well maintained and offered a beautiful mountain view from our room. The hotel was kind to offer us a complimentary cake to enjoy my parent’s anniversary day. The food was in a set menu rather than buffet option but wasn’t disappointing as they offered plenty of selections to choose from. Breakfast lunch and dinner were all topped with epic dishes that tasted so amazing, we would definitely be returning for more. Unfortunately the spa area was closed but overall our stay was pleasant with great food, mountain view, nice pool area and wonderful customer service.

    Today we visit to the hotel. Very clean, tasty food. I have visited lot of famous and leading hotels in the country and overseas also, but I never met such a staff. They are very friendly and caring. really appreciate there service in all the time. They serve their guests as family members. Very good hotel. I'm highly recommended...

  • 5/5 Eranga S. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent service. Super Friendly staff. Food is delicious and well decorated. It seems management is highly concern about the hospitality and follow up the staff. Clean rooms and reasonable for price. We had good holiday stay. Mountain View is nice.

  • 5/5 Travelling Kook- YouTube and T. 9 months ago on Google
    Such an amazing hotel and experience, the staff were 10/10- super friendly and treat you like royalty! The price is really great, I paid about $50 per night, brilliant for a short break away. The food buffet was amazing!The facilities- gym, massage treatment and swimming pool were all fantastic. All exactly what I needed. Super clean too. plenty of spots to chill and hang out if you need to do work or read etc. Overall a really superb experience. Would be nice to have more vegan and gluten free options but the buffet did have a small selection for both, I cheated and had cake (lots of it) 😁

  • 4/5 Vayodya R. 10 months ago on Google
    Really enjoyed our FB stay here. Worthy for the price and to value it up they can focus on their menu. The rooms are pretty spacious compared to many hotels. The best thing about the hotel was the connecting rooms. Nice location and can have improvements as well. Serves the amount they charge.

  • 5/5 Pulasthi N. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall nice experience. We came to the hotel around 10pm even without a prior booking as it was a spontaneous trip and staff helped us to arrange everything in best possible way. And gave a discount on room prices as well. Clean nice rooms.

  • 3/5 Angie 4 months ago on Google
    Overall it's a nice hotel with good views. We booked three meals a day option. Though there were many food options, the taste wasn't good enough, quite salty and some tasted like old ( previous day) food. Though there was a mention about dietary options available when we made the booking, couldn't get diary free milk.

  • 5/5 Martin K. 7 months ago on Google
    This hotel was lovely. We stayed as a family of four for 2 nights. The hotel was clean and the rooms well appointed. We had two interconnecting rooms with very large comfortable beds. The pool was very nice and clean with a small number of comfortable loungers. The staff were great and the evening buffet was a real occasion with outdoor cooking and live music both nights. They clearly went to a real effort to impress. Breakfast was very good with great selections. The views of the hills and nearby scenery were beautiful.

  • 5/5 Niwantha R. 6 months ago on Google
    I was went to that hotel for function. Hall condition is good and foods also delicious. Location view is beautiful and garden also well maintained. But the have only small parking vacancy's available. Sometimes its not enough to park all vehicle. Overoll Recommended to visit and enjoy.

  • 3/5 Visagan S. 7 months ago on Google
    This review is just for the food, with the food that was served in buffet it made me think whether the talent exedus has caused impact to the food and hotel industry as well, but looking at the food that was on the buffet (which was local and Indian cuisine and a bit of western) it doesn't make sense why the remaining talent (chefs) couldn't deliver. Is it that the cream has left the country? Or is it that no one cares? Next the price for buffet. one can argue it's a competitive price in Kandy, but for me for the price it was lacking the finesse one would expect in a buffet. For example offering one preparation style (variety) of each meat type (chicken, fish, beef). Finally the desserts. Options were so little and they ran out quickly and no one cared to replenish. The only thing that seemed to be available is the ice cream which is obviously something you can easily find in every home these days and you don't want to go on a buffet for this. Overall there were very little choice for food, and the taste was average, I would say even a home style cooks who runs small business does a better job.

  • 5/5 Isham 4 months ago on Google
    Exceptional place to enjoy your vacation. The only downside is their dinner buffet as it is not worth the price at all. Some of the foods were not cooked well.

  • 5/5 Krupa 4 months ago on Google
    We stayed in this hotel during our trip to Kandy, Srilanka. Very spacious rooms with good view of Kandy and well maintained property. The staff is very friendly, polite and well behaved.Highly recommend this place for family stay.

  • 4/5 Dolly S. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    The hotel gives you a luxrious experience. Rooms are big, although the bathrooms could have been a little more spacious. The day we checked-in it was there grand BBQ day(Saturday). Large variety of food to meet you cravings. Live BBQ counters were something I had not seen at other hotels. Staff was friendly. The property is beautiful and you can spend quality time roaming inside it.

    Really enjoyed the stay and would recommend as one of the best places to stay in Kandy. The hotel is beautiful and has a luxurious atmosphere. The hotel staff is very friendly and professional. The rooms are super clean and comfy, has a little balcony with a beautiful view as well. Food is great and tasty, had buffets for all meals with many varieties including good vegetarian options. Unfortunately the pool is not allowed due to covid. Has a secured car park.

  • 5/5 Lakmali S. 2 years ago on Google
    We spent one night at the Earl’s Regent Hotel, Kandy, which was very relaxing. The rooms were very spacious and clean and the mountain view from the balcony was breathtaking. The food was delicious and, an added bonus would be the extremely polite and friendly staff, who would willingly cater to your needs. We would like to specifically mention Ruwan, at the front desk, who was exceptionally polite and helpful. This is one of the best places you can stay in Kandy.

  • 5/5 Mark T. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best hotels in Kandy and the best thing about it is the staff ….specially Yohan (front office) was excellent and his hospitality was superb and encouraging that I am personally recommending the hotel stay to my friends and family ….Thankx a lot for making my stay at Kandy a remarkable one 🙏

  • 4/5 chakshu a. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited the place in december 2021. The place is surrounded by lush green trees and mountains. A beautiful location. The rooms that we got was good but the bathroom was very small. Breakfast options are limited for vegetarians. Great hospitality.

  • 4/5 Minoth K. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there for a wedding. The place overlooks a very nice Kandy scenery; any nature lovers would be thrilled. Can't quite comment on the rooms as I didn't go to any. However, other reviews are positive on this. Food was like a 7/10; pretty good but fell apart for a couple of items. Overall, solid place!

  • 3/5 Hareendra J. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place. Food is exceptionally tasty. Hospitality is high. Parking vehicle is quite problematic bue to inadequate space. But overall it's a good place to relax.

  • 2/5 Anna H. 2 years ago on Google
    I rarely speak bad about any place I stay in because I know they rely on their reviews. Not only did they scold my bf who's on vacation not to wear a tank top while having breakfast or dining here, they made sure to band us from any pool side services. We attempted to order just French fries by the pool area and a hours later play like they never received the order eventhough we told the server at the pool to do so. This was a cute place but the staff here is very rude and not welcoming. We stayed here two days and not one person said good morning or hello. Not sure if they were just judemental towards us from being from the states but I would definitely not recommend to any of my friends and all.

  • 3/5 TD 1 year ago on Google
    I'm reviewing the “Regent Ballroom” as I was there for a wedding. The wedding hall is large and beautiful. Has many features (dancing floor, modern decorations, air conditioned hall, etc) like in other wedding halls. About the foods, they're good but feels heavy. So much gravy in many curries so it affects the appetite. Rest room and wash room hygiene is also low. They're not clean and smelly. Parking is quite hard to find. And the hotel is situated far away from the main road as well as the city.

  • 4/5 Vimanga B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nothing to complain about. If you are staying here make sure to get a room with a better view(4th floor). I'm giving it 4 stars because the food choices are a bit too limited and repeating each day but the taste was good 🙂.

  • 5/5 dinesh w. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an amazing time at the hotel with the family. The hospitality was great and the facilities were good. Must admit the fact that Mr. Lavanga, front manager helped a lot in the course and made it comfortable to arrange the bookings. Highly recommended for a stay if you are looking for a break in the hill capital of Sri Lanka.

  • 5/5 Andreea I. 2 years ago on Google
    Spacious and clean room. The bed and pillows are comfortable, sleep well. We had half board, breakfast and dinner which were buffet style. The buffet was rich and varied with specific dishes (which were hot), but also from the international cuisine. The staff was kind and involved. If we return to Kandy we will choose the same hotel.

  • 5/5 Sahan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place close to kandy city center. Buffet was awesome. Rooms are well maintained and clean. Bathroom equipped with a jacuzzi as well. Not very much things to do but you can relax.

    Had a lovely experience! Situated in a very calm and quiet area. Rooms are tidy and clean with all necessary amenities. Service is excellent and staff were very attentive to almost every single detail. Nice experience. Two thumbs up! 👍

  • 5/5 Chamara D. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service with Best Hospitality 👍 From the moment we first called to make a reservation, until our departure time, Mr. Yohan from the front office department looked after us. He was very attentive to every need and we observed him while we were staying at the hotel where he was taking care of all the guests one by one. Thanks to him we were upgraded to a beautiful Super Deluxe room and with his excellent service we had an amazing stay in the beautiful city of Kandy. We find that almost every staff is always very happy and welcoming with a good smile. We were served promptly with high level of service without any delay. Mouth Watering Food 🍗🥩🍳 All 3 meals we had were on a buffet basis where we had a better buffet spread for the price we paid. The food was really delicious and we were full of delicious food during the 3 main meals.The staff at the main restaurant "Flavors" were also very attentive and they paid close attention to our needs. The service they provided was really smart where they were very careful with our satisfaction. Special thanks to the chef 👨🏽‍🍳 at the action station. Beautiful Super Deluxe Room ❤️ | Mr. Yohan gave us a complimentary upgrade to a super deluxe room. The room is very spacious, luxurious with all room amenities. The ambience and bed set up was done perfectly and we felt very comfortable the whole time.. The Pool 🏊 | The pool area overlooks the mountains and the pool staff is quick to provide you with towels etc This will be our hotel for our stay in Kandy every time we come back. Highly recommended. keep it up
