I was there for the first ten days in March, 2020 and really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and warm hospitality by the staff and owners. Would definitely return!
9-night trip

10/10

Very nice colonial style hotel. Stunning view behind on the top of the hill. Very calm which is nice since Kandy is noisy. Room are decorated with style. Bed is confortable. Very warm welcome and service with a lots of support to organize my day. Breakfast a bit light and not diversified and the hotel is obviously far from city center.

Wonderful rooms and hospitality overlooking the city. Would highly recommend. The hotel manager was fantastic and very accommodating. Meals were good. We were a large party and had much of the hotel to ourselves in the main building (there is another across the street).

キャンディの街並みが一望できる、見晴らしのよいホテルです。オーナーさんもスタッフさんもとても親切でした。オーナーさんは、日本に住んでいた方なので、日本人は安心して泊まれると思います。 私が行った時は、一番広いお部屋にグレードアップしてくださいました。 朝食のオムレツと、フルーツとっても美味しかったです。

All rooms had balconies with a pleasant view. We saw lots of monkeys frolicking on the roofs of adjacent buildings. Not much in the way of grounds or other facilities but the lobby was comfortable.

The Richmond House was one of the best venues we stayed at during our visit to Sri Lanka. The staff was wonderful and made sure we saw what we wanted to see during our stay. We were able to book the car and driver while we stayed and he went above and beyond in getting us to our next destination. Very beautiful and worth every penny we spent- and very reasonable in prices. Fabulous experience and recommend the establishment to anyone wishing to stay in Kandy.

Lage etwas ausserhalb des Zentrums (15 Min mit Tuktuk) auf einem Hang, dafür mit sehr gutem Blick auf Kandy und absolute Ruhe. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, Internet sehr gut und schnell. Frühstück sehr gut und mit großer Auswahl. Haben 2 Nächte dort verbracht und warten sehr zufrieden.

Lovely room with great views of Kandy. Excellent food with friendly staff. Only problem is steep narrow road to hotel and bit out of the way. We had a driver with car so was OK

Great view of Kandy and the surrounding mountains from the balcony. A little tired looking overall but still a nice and interesting building. Very comfy beds. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and also had a nice dinner there one evening. A bit of a mission getting up and down the hill but we were in a car so it wasn’t a problem for us. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Large spacious rooms and very friendly staff. We got a free upgrade to a suite which was huge and had spectacular views over the valley in Kandy. The room had everything needed and was very comfortable. Good selection at breakfast with staff always on hand to assist. Very close to Kandy so handy for trips around the area.

Wunderbare Lage mit Blick auf die Stadt, selbst beim Duschen kann man über die Stadt blicken! Sehr freundliches Personal. Zimmer war groß und sauber mit einem kleinen Balkon. Ein sehr gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis! Das Hotel muss mit einem TukTuk oder Taxi angefahren werden (ca. 500 Rupien pro Weg), aber es lohnt sich! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden es wieder buchen!

Schönes Hotel für den Kurzaufenthalt in Kandy. Liegt etwas außerhalb auf dem Berg. Schwierig erreichbar, aber online Navigation ermöglicht Anfahrt. Tuk Tuk ins Tal kein Problem innerhalb von 15min.

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel which has a lovely view over Kandy. It’s a bit hard to get to, but OK by tuk tuk or car. It would be a long walk into town and an extreme climb back. The staff were very friendly and always trying to please.
