The Theva Residency

山上景色不錯，食物美味。

Overall an excellent hotel with excellent service. We had a room which ended up having a small leak in the wall and they gave us an upgrade to a better room with a jacuzzi which was very nice but honestly the other room was nice as well. As it’s ultra low season there was never many people in the hotel so the staff couldn’t be more helpful Things to be aware of It’s quite a way up the hill from town you can walk down in 40 mins if you don’t get lost but it would be quite a slog up . I got a tuk tuk up for 700 Rupees which is just over 2 dollars. Ok what about the food ? …,overall excellent. Wonderful breakfasts dreamy dinner love the possibly too small portions of meatballs with so many flavour profiles and the black pork curry was fantastic maybe could have been a bit more spicy but I guess they are catering for a very international audience. If anything wasn’t quite as you wanted it you they did this best to change it. They could have mean more generous with the free water in the room rather than 2 tiny bottles ( but when asked they always provided them free of charge . The mats for the sun beds need to be replaced as they slip off all the time as all the straps are broken These though are very very minor points So would I stay here again definitely and for what I paid due to the season excellent value. Food is a real positive. Definitely high end Asian fusion The range of juices all freshly made are all excellent. Great hotel glad we decided to stay there and will certainly come back next time I’m in Kandy. The Staff make it. One final point up so high on the hill the air is much much cleaner , there is a lovely breeze and it’s much calmer than down in the town. For an extended stay this for me is the only location I would stay in

Huge and very scenic room, with lovely massive comfy bed and great balcony. Lovely welcoming staff made one feel at home. The view of the hills and Kandy are superb..the pool is refreshing with a great view . Such a relaxing location away from Kandy hustle and bustle.

Lovely little place for a small stop over. The staff are attentive and welcoming. The breakfast was also okay but the fruits could have been fresh. We only spent one night but definitely enjoyed their hospitality. The place is very quiet and at the time, almost felt like we were alone.

We stayed here for three nights, and really enjoyed it. Our room had an excellent view over the city, and the restaurant terrace had an even better one! Really spectacular, especially as the sun went down. Drinking a cocktail there after the meal was a real highlight of our trip. The food was excellent, with a good choice of both Sri Lanka and International meals, and the staff, particularly as they got to know us during the stay, were friendly, professional and efficient. They made an extra effort on the evening of my wife's birthday, with flowers and chocolates in the room. It is quite out of the way, up a narrow twisty road, which might be an issue for some people, although it is on the right side of town for the railway station which is a benefit. The room was very spacious and comfortable, but some of the furniture seemed a bit dated and due for refreshment. Apart from that we had no complaints at all. A lovely place to stay as a base for visiting Kandy.

Theva is a hidden gem! My room had the most amazing view I've ever seen. The bed was large and so comfortable. I'm vegan and the restaurant made me such high quality food. The hotel is located about 10 minutes from the train station and you could easily get here with a tuk tuk for about 1000LKR. The stuff was really sweet too. I would recommend staying here if you want to get out of the city for some relaxation.
