I have had such an amazing stay here. The location is stunning and I was happy to be higher up away from the hustle and bustle in Kandy town. The staff have been wonderful to me as I kept extending my stay. Dewmi has been especially great at checking in on me to ensure that I have everything I need. The housekeeping staff have made my stay very special with the elephant decorations and welcome messages. Additionally, the food on offer has been incredible, such variety and impeccably presented, loved the musicians at mealtimes too. Also enjoyed the pool and spa after hot days out exploring. The rooms are beautiful as are the gardens, so much effort and thought have gone into it all. It was like staying in paradise!! I would love to come back and stay again.

I recently revisited Earl’s Regency Hotel in Kandy after exactly 10 years, and it was a delightful experience once again. The hotel’s location is simply stunning, nestled amidst lush greenery with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. It’s a perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind in a serene and prestigious environment.
The service at Earl’s Regency remains commendable, though I did notice a slight dip in the attentiveness of the staff compared to my previous visit a decade ago. That said, the overall experience was still very much acceptable, and the team was friendly and accommodating. The rooms and facilities are exceptional, offering a blend of comfort and luxury that makes your stay truly memorable.
One of the highlights of the hotel is its pool area. The main pool is fantastic, with a depth of 4.5 Feet, making it ideal for those who enjoy a good swim. There’s also a separate pool for kids, which is a thoughtful addition for families travelling with children. Apart from that and to the serious notice, pool rules are somewhat harsh, especially for kids when they enjoying the moment.
The well-maintained grounds and the tranquil ambiance add to the charm of this beautiful property.
Earl’s Regency is undoubtedly one of the best hotels to experience in Sri Lanka, especially in the Kandy area. Whether you’re visiting for leisure or business, this hotel offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier stay in this picturesque region.

Location, view, architecture, customer service, and cleanliness were all perfect. Rooms were clean and well maintained. There was a small issue with the bathroom door during my stay, but hopefully, it's fixed by now. Dining area was also great. Would be nice if they added more options to breakfast buffet.

A very nice hotel, almost 2km from center of Kandy. Situated up one of those gorgeously verdant mountains. Overlooks the river. Lovely views from all rooms.
Big hotel with a pool, spa, littler gym. It’s popular with groups and serves a varied buffet dinner for those so inclined.
Staff at reception and lobby bar were good. Overall, good value for money. Lovely setting

The warm welcome from the staff set the tone for an exceptional experience.
The room was spacious, elegantly designed, and offered breathtaking views of the hills. The plush bedding and modern amenities ensured a comfortable and relaxing stay. One of the highlights was the dining experience—the variety of dishes, from local Sri Lankan cuisine to international delicacies, was impressive. Each meal was a delightful fusion of flavors, served with impeccable hospitality.
The hotel’s serene atmosphere made it an ideal place to unwind. I enjoyed spending time by the pool, soaking in the peaceful ambiance. The spa services were also top-notch, providing the perfect way to rejuvenate. Additionally, the hotel’s location made it convenient for exploring nearby attractions.
What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable, always attentive and courteous. Earl’s Regency exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and tranquil retreat.
