The picture of the hotel looks nice. The food was good and service staff Chalake - he was the only bright light...

Our room was written up as one with views of garden or pool. What we got when we arrived was a tiny room squeezed between railwaytracks and the hotel driveway. Cannot open curtains. Dark. Photos of room on booking.com are a mix of other rooms, nothing like ours. Ceiling is so thin (wood), it transmits all sounds and footsteps of people from above us. Cannot sleep. Hotel is on a very small piece of land squeezed between the major road into Kandy in front and a railway line behind. Not sure how other reviews can be trusted when they call this an oasis in Kandy. Trucks, buses, cars and motorbikes roar past honking their horns at each other, trains rattle through- Taru Villas must have been desperate to have a property in Kandy to have picked this one. This is our third visit to Kandy and by far the worst choice of hotel. For 312 dollars a night, this is a rip off. Staff are everywhere, but service is poor. We had no internet when we arrived. Nobody had realized. By the pool no one ever comes to offer a drink or menu. The boys sit or stand around in groups having a good time, never mind the guests (maybe you should employ a few ladies for a change in attitude). At 6pm we were asked when we wanted to eat dinner. 7pm was agreed. By 7.45pm we still only had a basket of soft buns in front of us despite having had dinner pre ordered. The staff were tripping over themselves seemingly busy running around, but no service. I am not sure who is in charge of whom here, but this 'hotel' needs a lot more training and direction from someone who understands the business. The food, when it finally came was good, but with it came 3 musicians with guitar, drum and accordeon. They drowned out the street noise with kitsch songs from the 1960s. Please Taru Villas, install a sound system and play music in the background fitting a hotel you aim to be. I felt like being on a mass tourism cruise liner in the 70s with tunes of 'la paloma blanca' and the like ruining dinner.

Ein wunderschönes Hotel mit Geschichte und eine beeindruckende Einrichtung. Ein exquisiter Service, immer freundlich und zuvorkommend.

The property was beautiful, the room was amazing And the meals were fabulous. We booked this accommodation because it included dinner and the dinners were gourmet. We especially think the staff, Sangen and Manju for all their help in arranging activities while we’re there and an amazing stay in Kandy.

Struttura molto bella in classico stile coloniale, personale molto disponibile, cena e colazione ottima

La posizione non è il massimo tra una strada trafficata a 4 corsie e la ferrovia! Pero niente di tragico

Absolutely Amazing stay at Taru Villas. We were on put honeymoon and the place couldn't have been better. We couldn't believe this place was nestled right in the city but with a lovely private feel. The garden and pool are fantastic. The hotel and decor is to an extremely high Standard. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was very good!

The recently opened hotel exudes a sense of sophistication, providing a tranquil ambiance, remarkable architectural and design elements, a delectable morning meal, exceptional customer service, and superb dining choices.

Simply Nothing at all
