Staff very helpful with arranging transport. This hotel is situated in a quiet location on the hillside above Kandy so they will arrange a tuk tuk to take you into town or a taxi for longer journeys. Food was fresh and tasty.

4/10 Fair

Awful smell in bathroom
This hotel was a disappointment after the great reviews that I read. On arriving in our room (103), the smell from the bathroom was disgusting. The bellboy actually flushed the toilet as soon as he came into our room. The bathroom had already been cleaned, and had a paper wrapped around the toilet claiming it was sanitized. I asked a member of the staff to come to ‘smell’ the bathroom. They agreed it was disgusting and suggested they put in a ‘fragrance’. There was no amount of fragrance, or spraying that would disguise the smell. There is something very wrong with their drains. I asked to be moved to a new room (something I have never done in my travels). Upon leaving the next morning, you could already smell the bathroom stench in our new room (203). I hope the hotel fixes their drainage problems, as the views are amazing.

Lovely views and good restaurant
Hotel is clean and modern, with air conditioning, amenities (TV, toiletries, safe) and helpful staff. The restaurant staff in particular were great, and the food was nice. Good balcony for sitting out in the evening.

Nice stay at Amaara
Enjoyable stay at the Amaara Sky. Lovely service from the staff and nice dinner and breakfasts too. Room was comfortable. Possible to walk to town but the walk back is uphill so best avoided.

A view of Kandy
Delightful stay in the Amaara Sky Hotel. Room perfect, balcony wonderful for just sitting outside enjoying the fantastic views over Kandy, and the surrounding countryside. Service faultless. Minor problems with the TV fixed in an instant. Would happily stay again if/when in Kandy.

Boutique hotel, great service but a little worn
Nice little hotel on the hill above Kandy, the staff were really adorable and they would do everything to make your stay a memorable one, but the hotel building was a little old. The rooms were comfortable though.

Perhaps the best in the region
Amara Sky is perhaps the best place to stay in the area. On the expensive side when compared to other properties in the region but well worth it. Good rooms with great views and excellent service. Decent food and amenities.

Good hotel, but bring earplugs
We call it "The Barking Dog Hotel". Good little (14 room) hotel, on the side of a hill with a lovely view of Kandy and the lake. 5 minute tuk-tuk ride (300 LKR) to downtown. As everyone else mentions, there are noisy stray dogs outside that bark loudly for most of the night. We knew about this, so we brought earplugs and enjoyed our stay. To get back to the hotel, make sure you have the hotel phone number or business card, because some tuk-tuk drivers didn't know it and had to phone the hotel for directions. No alcohol license, but a tuk-tuk can deliver to the hotel.

Perfect for our one night stay
we stayed here for one night during our travels around Sri Lanka, we had a room on the end with a huge balcony that went all around the room so we could sit out and admire all the views. The service here was excellent, with very friendly staff. We had lunch and breakfast here and both were excellent. I would have preferred a room with blackout curtains as I woke very early to a bright room. The bathroom was clean but had a damp smell about it.

Hotel ok
Comfortable hotel with a nice view of the city. Rooms are comfortable but not particularly nice. Very good breakfast buffet Only negative point: We checked in on New Year's eve and the receptionist told us the buffet would be 50usd per person, no other choice… After negotiation he accepted to give us a normal price!

最悪のホテル
この料金でこのコスパは最悪です。 シャワー出が悪くちょろちょろしかでない。熱いお湯が出ない、ドライヤー は設置がない。 二度と泊まりたくないホテルの一つになりました。 隣の部屋、外部音もうるさい。

丘の上の素敵なブティックホテルに
大きな古い洋館を改装したようなこじんまりとしたホテル。丘の上なので一度入ったらまた出るのは面倒かも。 中は新しくいたる所にあるモダンな絵柄の絵が魅力。朝食は向かいの斜面が見渡せる外で食べる。おしゃれにパンとフルーツが出てきました。 水周りはまあまあ。もう一歩頑張れる。
