Melheim Kandy Villas We only write five-star reviews, but only when five stars are really deserved. In the case of Melheim Kandy Villas we wish we had ten stars to give! All things considered, Melheim Kandy might be the best place we've ever stayed. Hotel Located high in the hills of one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Kandy, the hotel commands a beautiful view down a valley with slopes covered in towering pines. Several African Tulip Trees nearby were stunning in their full crimson blooms, while more distant green canopy trees provided dappled sun on the lawns. The hotel common areas are very beautiful, with highly polished stone floors, art objects, and a wide variety of antiques displayed. There are also many reprints of Sri Lankan historical photographs on the walls. There are both indoor and patio dining areas available, depending on the weather and your preference. The pool area is tidy and the clear water was slightly chilly, which we loved. Plenty of sun was available for warming on the lounges after our refreshing daily dips. Overall the atmosphere is very rich and luxurious, but still comfortable and welcoming. Room We walked into a fresh and well-lit large room (303), with a soaring ceiling, well appointed and perfectly clean. The bathroom appeared newly remodeled, and included full amenities. Every room we saw includes a spacious balcony with lovely chairs and table. Instant coffee, tea, creamer, sugar and kettle are in the room. These and bottles of water are supplied daily. There was a small fridge. The WiFi was strong in our room and available throughout the hotel. Food The Western and traditional Sri Lanka meals by Asela were equally delicious. The pork chops were to die for. Oh, and the mashed potatoes were SO tasty. The Sri Lankan dinner was the tastiest of our whole trip, during which we tried ten or more. Wow! 🥰 We ate all three meals at the hotel both days. Our only complaint was that breakfast was way more than we could eat.

Melheim Villas Kandy is a tranquil getaway nestled in the hillside above Kandy. Our room was spacious clean and well equipped, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom clean and the water hot. Out balcony looked out over a stunning forested valley (see pics). Breakfast and dinner were generous and most delicious. And the staff were excellent! So nice, obliging and professional. They really made us feel so well looked after, and they kept us very well fed. We enjoyed walking into town. And to the botanical gardens via the university - well worth a visit. We loved our stay, and only wish we could have stayed longer.

- Great view - pretty place, very clean - nice balcony - many power sockets

- Bathroom too small, toilet gets all wet when showering - no hooks on walls or other places to put clothes - cables without lamps on the ceiling - breakfast a bit overpriced - pool a bit smelly

The hotel was situated in a quiet environment away from the city. The staff was helpful and attentive. The food from their restaurant was so good and they provided a good portion.

Beautiful mountain view room with stunning balcony. Clean rooms, comfortable beds. Kids enjoyed the pool. We had nice breakfast and really tasty dinner. The staff really went out of their way for us and we greatly appreciate it.

Amazing staff took great care of us, arranged tuk tuks and has great advice on things to see and do. Loved the pool, great place to stay, away from the bustle of very busy Kandy city.

The staff is amazing! Breakfast with the best view, loved this place!
