    It is the worst hotel in Sri Lanka according to my experience. They have stated it is a 4 star hotel. There is nothing atleast for 3 star. Hotel management cheated us stating 4 star in the Google. It is just a boutique. Not 4 star hotel. No buffe available. No variety of food available. No juice available except for breakfast. It should be investigated how they got 4 star and it will be done soon. Viewers can see the truth in the attached photos by me. No hand wash facilities available in the dining area. We need to go to toilet for hand wash. No buffe and only set menu available. No dessert for lunch. Full board Full payment was 30,000 for a room. We got for 50% offer under Commercial Bank Card which was 15400 rupees one room with full board. Parking facility is too bad. We had to park in the road. According to the regulations of 2016, 30 rooms and variety of food should be available to obtain 4 star. I wonder how they got 4 star even without more than 15 rooms and no variety of food. This type of fake and cheating leads to the loss of reputation of Sri Lankan hotels among tourists. Full of dust everywhere. There was a plate in the Amaara terrace for two days without cleaning. Also there is no swimming pool. Anyhow, it was communicated before booking. My two days were almost wasted first time in my life. Only positive thing was, they didn't charge for breaking of one small plate mistakenly by my friend's child. I do not recommend this hotel as a 4 star hotel. Even u cannot expect a 3 star facilities.

    This is not a 4 star hotel. Not even close to a 3 star. An edit should be made to make this a 3 star or less.

    Lately one of our guests from England stayed at this hotel and gave really good feedback about the hotel and staff service. But the hotel management service for the tourists drivers and the accommodation is not good. They charge 1500/= for accommodation and food. Food is good. But the accommodation is not worthy with the amount paid. I would like to mention here every human ought to be respected. Not only the guests checked in but also the drivers who bring them safely.

    Magnificent hotel. We would like to thank the entire hotel team for welcoming us in such an excellent way and for being so attentive to us. We were able to enjoy two nights in one of the best rooms in the hotel with incredible views of both the city and the mountains. We will definitely repeat.

    Amaara Sky Hotel is a true gem! Perched atop a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding lush greenery and misty mountains. The hotel boasts modern and luxurious rooms with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The food is delicious, and the service is impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff. The infinity pool is a highlight, providing a mesmerizing view of the valley below. The tranquil ambiance and serene location make it an ideal retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation. Highly recommended for a blissful mountain getaway!

    Nice hotel located in Anniwatta, Kandy and has great views. The rooms were spacious and clean. Good size bathroom with hot water. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Lovely hotel away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

  • 3/5 Senura P. 9 months ago on Google
    I stayed at this average hotel with a good view and decent room sizes. However, the food was below standard, especially the disappointing desserts. Compared to other hotels in the area, prices were similar, but their food was much better. The staff were friendly, but the hotel needs to review its facilities.

    The hotel in the is a very nice place to stay if you love ocean. The hotel has a small beach with corals. Also you can go along the rock wall to the left from the beach and climb the rock from which you can see beautiful vistas of open Indian ocean! So marvelous!!! Every day you can fall asleep and wake up with the sounds of waves! it's wonderful!!! The breakfasts are verygood with fruits, juices as well as creative! The rooms are really enough and so clean. Hot water in the bathroom. The owners and staff are very friendly and nice! Suresh does his best to please the clients as well as to help to make their stay as interesting as possible. I love to stay there!

    Friendly staff. Very clean and tidy spacious rooms (deluxe room) with a scenic view. Had buffet for dinner and breakfast, set menu for the lunch. Though there are not much variations, food was really delicious. Only 10 minutes drive to maligaya.

    Located very centrally , in kandy town this property is perfect for a holiday. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Staff were very helpful and the service was excellent. My compliments to the chef who served us simple yet so tasty meals. Unfortunately our stay was very short but I would recommend this hotel to anybody who wants peace and quiet and yet be in the of Kandy.

  • 5/5 Noah S. 8 months ago on Google
    Our stay at Amaara Sky was wonderful. We decided spontaneously on the day to stay at Amaara Sky and were offered the spacious honeymoon suite with (almost) 360 degree view from the beautiful hilltop. We had a private veranda that surrounded our whole room and offered breathtaking views of the city, Kandy Lake, the golden roof of Sri Dalada Maligawa, the old Royal Palace, and the surrounding nature. The location on the hilltop means that the temperature was never too hot. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and could assist us with every request. Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful. We can thoroughly recommend Amaara Sky Hotel.

    The hotel situated in a mountain area. View from the balcony is great. Staff is very friendly. Food is also good. Cons are there is nothing much to do inside the hotel. No garden to walk and no pool.

  • 3/5 Chris F. 6 years ago on Google
    A 3 star hotel at a 5 star price. Very, very average. Room fittings cheap. Very little soundproofing in a high noise area. Woken up at 5am this morning by very loud external noise. Breakfast 2 star. Nescafe only coffee option. Very disappointing. Avoid if at all possible.

  • 5/5 manzil b. 5 years ago on Google
    Find a place to stay with a calm environmental clean place. Then this will be the place which you may be finding. It want be a big hotel but it is very standard rooms with them. This place is very quiet and calming. You are able to see the whole kandy area from the top room of the hotel Hotel. Its the suite room of the hotel Hotel and its huge. The foods is very delicious you can't say anything wrong with it. The only thing is missing is a swimming pool. Other than that it is an amazing hotel. Recommended to all..

  • 3/5 YVRIRL 4 years ago on Google
    Hotel in top of hill very isolated and view of Kandy can be seen here from both sides of the hotel. Rooms are tastefully decorated and has all amenities . It’s far from the city and I suggest you purchase with breakfast and dinner ( their restaurant offers good western meal) especially if you arrive late or you will find that you have to commute down the hill to find food. Quiet and close to Buddha temple in the hill.

    Amaara Sky hotel is a fantastic place to stay. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The food was always fresh and delicious. The full body and head massage was relaxing and worth every dollar. I recommend my friends and family to stay at this wonderful hotel.

  • 5/5 Mario F. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. If you want a place to stay in Kandy look no further than Amaara. We were treated very well by the staff specially Janith at front desk. Food is just too good although they didn't offer us a buffet spread (understandable due to low occupancy). Rooms are the biggest we have stayed so far. No complaints what so ever. They even allowed us a late check-out.
