The views from this hotel are beautiful. The location is very hard to find, in spite of signage, which had faded from the sun. Google Maps does not take you directly to the hotel, instead it has you driving anywhere but to the hotel. The hotel staff seemed frazzled and disorganized. The dinner was a buffet, while not delicious, it was sustenance. However, the cleaning staff and staff in the restaurant were very kind and accommodating.

Nice hotel, lovely view, outside city centre

We enjoyed our stay and the hotel is nice/new, with beautiful views. Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Our main comment is that the location is a bit remote, so there are no food options within walking distance, with the hotel restaurant (which was ordinary) being the only option.

Nice facilities and staff, hope the wi-Fi improves

The location was great, really quite far from town but that’s fine if you have a tuk tuk driver you can call. Beds and linen are very comfortable. You might be need ask for a blanket though as the temp is coolish and there wasn’t one in the bed or wardrobe. They hung onto my bigger luggage (free of charge) while I went up to Dambulla for a night to visit Sigiriya, which was invaluable. It was a newish hotel when i stayed so hopefully they will have finished the building on the rooftop that was continuing when I was there (July 18). Lots of personal questions from the staff about why I was a woman travelling alone, but that’s Lanka!! The wi-Fi was pretty woeful but again, you’re in the mountains! Pretty area.

Hotel up in the hills

This hotel is limited in many ways. Though the bed was nice and comfortable, the bathroom water did not stay hot for more than 3 minutes. We also found serval hairs stuck in the rugs. Additionally, do not include the prepaid meals if you stay here. The dinner is terrible and the food choices are limited to 3-4 options, all which include meat which is not cooked well. They do not give a proper appetizer, soup or dessert and you can tell it’s because they are being very cheap. Alcohol is also marked up significantly. This hotel is in the hills of Kandy making it nice for nightly walks, however, there is literally nothing around, including no shops or places to purchase food, drinks, etc. Its about a 15-20 minute ride to the center of town and very steep. The only thing that was nice about this hotel is the view. I would suggest staying elsewhere.

We really enjoyed our stay as the service was exceptional and staff were very attentive. The rooms are modern with beautiful views of the mountain. We booked half board and felt it was good value. On our last night the staff even coordinate a candle lit dinner from the roof top. Would definitely stay at skyloaf again if we were to go back to Kandy.

Clean rooms, good service, yummy dinner

We booked two rooms and stayed one night. Surprisingly, the hotel is modernly furnished and the rooms are clean with very good condition. Very good view as the hotel is at the top of the mountain. We went up to the roof to enjoy the awesome scenery, very relaxing. The set dinner is tasteful and we highly recommended to book the rooms with half board. The staff of the hotel are very helpful. It is suggested to arrive the hotel before dark as the road to the hotel is narrow and no light.

Nice new hotel far from the city

Nice place in the hills. Getting there is a bit of an adventure - don't count on tuk-tuk drivers to know the location of the hotel. Nice views from this very new hotel. Very welcoming staff. Decent dinner and breakfast. Wi-Fi signal weak in our room. While there is little noise from cars or the city, the openness of the architecture ensures that you clearly hear staff preparing for breakfast or cleaning after dinner even a few floors up.

Great building and views. Needs time to improve

Very mixed on how to rate this property. The building is stunning - new, really well designed and furnished. The staff are very friendly and trying exceptionally hard (perhaps too much so). The views are amazing. On the other hand, the location is a very long way from anywhere (and can be hard to find per other reviews), dinner was tasty but not a single dish actually matched the menu (something we heard other tables also confused by), we had to change rooms due to a shocking smell from the bathroom (but manager dealt with this quickly and professionally). It is very new, needs a bit of time to iron out issues but even at its reduced price point currently on offer I cannot quite give more than 3 stars.
