WHAT A VIEW !!! We stayed at the TOPAZ during our tour of Sri Lanka as we wanted to go to the temple of the tooth in Kandy. It was very convenient for all the major sites. The Topaz itself is typical 1970s nothing much to look at and a little bland but its setting is spectacular high on a... more

After a long drive from Colombo, stopping to ride elephants and see the traditional dance we arrived at the Hotel Topaz in the evening. The Hotel was clean... more

We stayed in Hotel Topaz for 2 nights as part of the First Choice Discover Sri Lanka tour. We were only around the hotel in the early mornings and evenings, as our tour had quite a heavy schedule, so we didn't get to use the pool etc. We found the rooms to be fairly comfortable, although we didn't favour this... more
