Fine old place in a central location. Big room with high ceiling. Fairly quiet with windows overlooking the pool. Breakfast was a bit disappointing after a few days eating at the Galle Face. Short walk to the famous Buddhist temple across the street. more

This hotel was once one of the premier places to stay in Kandy - probably 100 years ago! Nevertheless it retains a lot of its colonial quirks and character Paid $32 and got a large A/C room with satellite TV and breakfast and pool - so one has to have realistic expectations for the price paid.. The rooms are big... more

great atmosphere. you can feel the history walking down the long hallways. i wondered what kind of crazy things happened there over the 160+ years. look at multiple rooms since some are way better then others. of the 3 rooms we stayed in 225 was our favorite. $50 a night with a/c. totally worth it. more

The Queen's is a spacious hotel with lots of colonial character. We found it to be good value, particularly in respect of its location in the heart of what Kandy has to offer. Food and drink options are a bit limited, so we went elsewhere. more

I was in 2 minds as to stay here or not after reading the reviews so only booked in for 2 nights but I loved it and ended up staying a week. The hotel has heaps of character and is in the perfect location in the centre of town. The room was spotless and cleaned daily, the staff went out... more

I really wish I could recommend this place but it is just too shambolic. For $45 it should be a steal but there is a reason the rates are cheap. Walked in to the lobby and thought wow this place is fab a little shabby but all the better for the colonial charm without the western hotel chain spin. Checked... more

We stayed in the Queens hotel the first night of our stay in Sri Lanka as part of a customised tour. Big spacious room with big characterful colonial furniture, the hotel is quite grand with big staircases and high ceilings. Our room was clean however most of them are facing the road (which you should definitely try and avoid if... more

This hotel is very old. It has a strong colonial charm (cage elevator, wood panels, etc) but almost everything is in a state of disrepair. A part of the door-post in my room fell off the moment I touched it. When we pluged in two laptops in our room the outside fuse blew off and we had to call maitenance... more

Queen’s Hotel is an elderly and rather frayed establishment with a very convenient location, reasonable rates, and a friendly and well-intentioned staff. It is located in the heart of Kandy, just across the road from the Temple of the Tooth (well worth a visit) and the lake. The hotel retains some of the aura of the colonial era (which is... more
