    My wife and I stayed at Kings Pavilion for one night of our honeymoon and we were blown away with how beautiful the hotel was. The rooms are very modern, clean and spacious. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The gardens and pool have beautiful views across Kandy. The food was exceptional. We highly recommend staying here if you are stopping off for a few days in Kandy.

    Our stay at the hotel was fantastic. We booked the premium room and were delighted that we were on the top floor. The views are good, staff were super friendly when we lost our room key, and the breakfast was good. The bed in the premium rooms are super comfy! The room was cheap in comparison to what we got! Would definitely recommend.

    Lovely hotel high above Kandy with great views. Rooms very clean, tasteful and modern. Small pool in a pleasant garden overlooking the city and distant hills. Staff were absolutely charming, friendly and helpful. Great selection of drinks and wide variety of meals, all of which were tasty and well presented. Thoroughly recommended.

    We came here to have some spa only, picked the “King’s Feeling” package. The massage by Renuka was amazing, by the way, I asked for a strong one. Note that a steem is basically a small hammam for two people.

    Kings Pavilion Kandy is a perfect place for holiday, find yourself in amidst the tranquil green hills and valleys and the fresh water streams, promising all the comforts, adventure and excitement. Far away from the crowd, the resort commands a majestic view of the Mountains. It is an ideal getaway to beat the heat of the plains

    Amazing place, we were there a few nights ago, we visited Kandy and the elephant’s orphanage and we slept in the King’s pavilion, we cannot say anything bad, we loved the place, the views, the amazing room, the bath, the pool, the food and the attention, perfectly professional and nice. If we knew it was this exceptional level we would have stayed two nights minimum!! Thank you

    We spent two weeks with our family at Lions Rest and we’re overwhelmed the friendly atmosphere and fabulous food. Thanks to Mikey and all his staff We particularly enjoyed the FISH EVENING sand the BBQ EVENINGS. Coconuts served by locals on beach after our morning swim was special. We met some “stick” fishermen also locally and enjoyed visiting many places of special interest. Surfing was the highlight of some family members. We look forward to our next visit.

    The hotel is located on top of a mountain. It has only 9 exclusive rooms in the middle of nature. The waiters and hotel staff are very friendly and attentive. They have a restaurant overlooking the town of Kandy and a swimming pool with beautiful views. Totally recommended to have a magical stay. The hotel is located on top of a mountain.

    one of the city’s most exclusive residential locales, which offers a sense of seclusion while also being within easy reach of Kandy town. It was here that a corporate bungalow was established set amidst breathtaking vistas of the area. It is this very bungalow that has been transformed by Kings Pavilion, preserving its traditional rustic charm and infusing touches of luxurious elegance. All this, seamlessly blend with unobstructed mountain panoramas of Knuckles on one side and Hanthana on the other. At our luxury hotel in Kandy, we provide guests a chance to truly appreciate this natural heritage; there are over 50 endemic trees in and around the property and a fascinating array of wildlife including several species of birds, that let you appreciate the true wonder of nature. Our well trained and professional staff take care of your every need, as we recreate for you the grandeur enjoyed by 17th century kings of Sri Lanka. Kings Pavilion is where you can experience discreet, personalised service and genuine hospitality; it is a place for those who deserve to be treated like royalty.

    Incredible place just outside Kandy. Swimming pool in the garden has a great view. We stayed in the Queen's suite which is simply umbelievable: the bath is huge and the service is excellent. Food is very good both with European food and cingalese food

    Kings pavilion is one of the best hotel in the town, I came here with my 9 months old daughter and my wife. We were amazed to see their hospitality. All staff are very kind and friendly, food is very good very delicious. Location of the hotel is amazing. Rooms are big and properly designed to make guest feel like home. I had a very good experience with the Kings Pavilion Hotel. Highly recommend and I would love to come again.

    The manager, Angelo, is simply amazing. He made everything truly special form the moment we booked until we left. He made sure everything was arranged perfectly. Provided us with suggestions and even helped with logistics during the bio-bubble. He was even contacting other hotels in our itinerary to tell them how to arrange the paperwork for us to visit the tourist sites during the August/September 2021 lockdown! Angelo is the best and he made this boutique hotel experience truly magical. He arranged several truly special surprises for my Fiancee on her birthday and it really made everything so special. The food is delicious and the food staff friendly, attentive and helpful. The rooms were wonderful and well appointed. The spa was nice and relaxing. The pool was awesome as well. It was truly a perfect stay!

    As part of our honeymoon experience thru Sri Lanka, we got to visit Kings Pavilion. We checked in around 6pm after a long day of driving and we were running a little late to visit the Sacred Tooth Relic. Everyone at Kings Pavilion was very accommodating to make sure we checked in quickly. We then returned and enjoyed a wonderful 8 course Christmas Eve dinner. Service, cleanliness, rooms, and staff are top knotch. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

    The location is awesome and the cleanliness and standard of service is out of this world. The manager Angelo and the front office manager Hirantha including the overall staff at the hotel treated us very well with whatever we needed (a personalized service). I highly recommend this place if you are looking to relax without any disturbances and de-stress yourself.

    Can we give 6 stars ? We stayed at King’s Pavilion for 2 nights in the Harispattu Suite. It’s a beautiful little boutique hotel located in the mountain, very closed to Kandy. A hidden gem. The pool is charming in the garden. The restaurant has an elaborated a-la-carte menu. We tried the Sri Lankan curry for dinner and the Sri Lankan breakfast. Delicious and generous portion. They also have international food options. The staff is very friendly, polite and courteous. The room is spacious, the bed is very comfortable, the bathroom has a big bathtub with a nice shower. It’s very private and we had our own balcony. One of the best hotel we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka.

    I stayed at Kings Pavillion, a boutique hotel in Kandy in April '21 as part of a mandatory 24 hour quarantine when I visited my family. They were one of two hotels in Kandy approved by the Sri Lanka Tourist Board as meeting or exceeding the COVID-19 safety protocols. I arranged for their transport to pick me up at the airport at 2.30am. The driver was waiting for me and had completed all arrangements with the health authorities to allow me to leave hassle-free. The hotel has several spacious chalets in addition to rooms. Even at 4.30am, the staff was gracious, friendly and welcoming. Anticipating that I might be hungry, they arranged a welcoming snack and a pot of hot tea. This is true Sri Lankan hospitality! The meals were delicious and filling with a variety of Sri Lankan and western dishes. The rooms were large, airey and comfortable. The manager, Hirantha and his staff made sure that my stay was comfortable as I waited to clear COVID-19 testing. When I returned to Sri Lanka in December, my family and I went over for dinner. Again, the service and meal was above expectations. I definitely recommend Kings Pavillion as the place to stay when visiting Kandy and Sri Lanka.

    The stay was short over a very busy long weekend, yet the staff made sure it was a memorable one. Secluded from the general hustle of the Kandy town, surrounded by greenery and nature an ideal place to completely unwind and be cut-off from the rest of the world. Rooms were well maintained and adhered to heath protocols. Staff was very friendly and courteous and coordinated our stay well from the time of reservation to final check-out. Food was fresh and a variety was presented.
