“Lovely hotel up on the hill away from the noise of the city”
+Great service. Lovely garden, and fantastic food. Breakfast was incredible. So much to eat.
−The booking.com details are not accurate. Room sizes are completely wrong. Ours said 6000 sq feet, when it was more like 300!

“Great Hotel but not for this Price”
+Beautiful location with a good view over the city with a sufficient pool and nice nature around, although a bit far from the town centre. The rooms are totally comfortable and have a lot of details. The staff is beyond friendly, very personal and always present to help one out. The food is very good and can be easily personalized. Small and quaint hotel that just feels safe and personal.
−In the end, I am very torn about this place. The buildings and grounds are pretty, but much smaller than they seem online. There aren't any grounds or gardens and also the pool is much smaller than thought. All in all, the common areas need a little bit of love and seem rather run-down in some places. The pool is not heated and a little dirty in some places. While there are many great places to sit for food, there is a lack of general enjoyment in the garden and the big tent just looks like a huge obstacle in the nature. The room was quirky and totally sufficient, but everything seemed a bit mixed and unmatched, slightly old, forgotten and run-down. There surely is a lot of love poured into this place, but it needs to be updated and speak more one coherent design language. Since the hotel is so small, the staff can feel a bit awkward at times and more like staying at a distant family member's house. The food was good and truly nothing to complain about, both dinner and breakfast, but for the high price of 40 USD per person for one Sri Lankan dinner just not special enough. We had a similar taste for 1/3rd of that price in many other locations in Sri Lanka. You also need to pre-book

+We loved this hotel so much, it felt so special and like you were staying at someone’s house in a really good way. It was small and boutique like. The highlight was the dinner, you absolutely must eat one night if you stay as the food is the best we have tasted

+Lovely contrast from commercial large hotels. Bespoke service with a fabulous view and stunning food. Although the set menu was $38 per person, well worth it and the best food we have had so far in Sri Lanka. The family room was excellent for a family with older teenagers with plenty of room. Staff could not have done anymore.

“Like visiting family”
+Elephant Stables is well located on the outskirts of Kandy, away from the hustle and bustle. It is a beautiful residence turned boutique hotel. The pool and garden are beautiful. The rooms are very well appointed, well sized and comfortable. But the real appeal of elephant stables are the staff, they work well together and treat you like family. Indika, the chef, does a wonderful job with the food and ensures you are happy with what is served.

“Lovely place to stop for a night after a drive from Sigiriya and ahead of long day travelling to Ella.”
+Very welcoming staff, beautifully decorated reception room. Fun to stay in the Royal Tent, plenty of space and beautiful bathroom. Great facilities in room. Very pretty gardens with two tortoises, swimming pool and ornamental ponds. Stunning views on two sides. Really enjoyed being up out of the town. Staff very friendly and helpful and organised Tuktuks down to Kandy (10 mins) and back.
