The hotel is situated in the busy downtown area and just opposite the Temple of Tooth Relic, which is a revered place for Buddhist. The hotel facade and interior were recently painted but the bathrooms need improvement. The reception staff were great and eager to help and even switched my reserved room which was noisy to another room with a... More

Queen's Hotel really has potential but does not live up to expectations. With some changes this could be a great hotel and charge more. I have to say, though, that the room was very inexpensive, so great things cannot be expected. Pros Great location, right next door to Sacred Tooth Temple. Historical building Attractive lobby Large rooms Cons Rooms are... More

The Queen's Hotel in Kandy once was the residence of the British Governor, situated right opposite of the Temple of the Tooth (the former Palace of the King of Sri Lanka). It is in walking distance to the lake and the Temple of the Tooth. I stayed 1 night at the hotel sharing a room with a friend. We had... More

Queen's Hotel You can't beat the location. Across the street on one side is the lake and on the other side is the Tooth relic Temple. How convenient is that? If you want to be away from things, then, this is not the hotel for you. This is central. It has that old colonial charm...meaning antique pipes so we had... More

...into a little bit of Kandy's colonial past.... Worryingly it appears a lot of the rooms and decor may not have been touched since the British hung up their white linen suits and left... Reminiscent of a set from one of Agatha Christie's more exotic Miss Marple adventures, the Queen's Hotel has a certain loveable charm but isn't up to... More

The best advice I can give is to strongly recommend that you do not stay at this hotel. There were so many problems experienced at this hotel it was crazy! The hotel is very old and I doubt if anything has been upgrade in over thirty years. While it is centrally located, it is ridiculously noisy. If you do end... More

Although quint and well located we do not recommend this hotel. After having been booked by a co-own hotel in Drumbulla, we were given a room at the price quoted by the previous hotel. However, late the next morning, we were told that we had to pay an extra $35US for our stay, as the night clerk should not have... More

It all starts with the wonderful location by the lake, close to the Temple of the Tooth. The Queen's Hotel is a classy Kandy institution with rooms with wooden floors, great interiors and balconies. The hotel reeks of old world charm. The breakfasts are nothing to write home about, although the food is excellent at the Chinese restaurant (unfortunately, service... More
