We happened across the Royal Bar and Hotel's listing under restaurants in Kandy after we had already decided to stay in another hotel. We wish we had found listing prior to booking- it does NOT deserve to be buried down in the 20's on Tripadvisor. The entire building is a restored soldier's barracks, and the upstairs is lined by pictures... More

I did not stay in this hotel but I ate there twice while in Kandy, and I think it was the best meal I had in the city. We ordered tapas Sri Lankan style and they were all very tasty. The bar has an old style colonial feel and it was very relaxing to sit there for a few hours... More

Its a nice place in the heart of Kandy town, but the time they take to serve is terrible. They have a very simple menu and we ordered our food by 9 p.m. We had to wait for 2 hours before a few dishes arrived. The people sitting at the table next to us got up and left because their... More

If you dont already know this - Kandy is a VERY busy town. The streets are crowded and there are shops, people and vehicles every where! right at the heart of all this is this quaint place called the Royal Bar and Hotel. Very colonial to look at, calm and peaceful. We dropped in there for drinks and a bite... More

Royal Bar & Hotel is a new Boutique Hotel in a recently renovated, colonial mansion with a beautiful inside patio. It is located in the very center of town, 3 blocks from the tooth temple and the lake. It is a hidden oasis, almost unnoticed from the street side. Once you have passed reception and enter in that beautiful patio,... More
