Très bel hôtel avec un passé historique. L’accueil est chaleureux et le personnel au top, tout comme la cuisine. Seul petit inconvénient, la voie de chemin de fer à l’arrière de l’hôtel et la route principale à l’avant. Lors de notre séjour à Kandy,

A hidden gem next to bustly Kandy! The staff is great, always looking to please guest. They had recommended to rent a tuk-tuk for the day with a local and we enjoyed all the visits. We were also very pleased to swim in the pool after the visits. Thanks!

A very classy place

Taru Villas backs onto the railway, which is absolutely charming, watching the odd train come by while eating dinner on the terrace. The joy of the place is that it's an oasis in the middle of town - don't let reviews put you off that say it's noisy as when it comes to bedtime we did not hear a thing from our room with the ceiling fan on. It's location means it's just a £3 tuktuk from all the main sights. The service is second to none, nothing is too much trouble and when arriving/returning, the GM ensured we were properly hosted throughout and we were made teas and little snacks on the house. The dinner, which was included, was delicious, but for me it was the breakfast that was standout - don't miss it! Also the rooms would work well for families with a child as each room has a day bed which converts.
