The Golden Crown Hotel

Hotel in Kandy

The Golden Crown Hotel is a 5-star hotel located in Ampitya, Kandy, Srilanka.

The Golden Crown Hotel was by far the best hotel I stayed at during my entire trip through Sri Lanka including Colombo, the north, and other regions. The service, friendliness, and atmosphere were absolutely exceptional. Everything felt perfectly balanced professional yet genuinely warm. A few people made the experience truly unforgettable. Dananjaya was always helpful, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. He really made my stay more enjoyable with his positive energy. Mlhirini had such a kind and welcoming presence. She constantly made sure I had everything I needed and was always up for a nice conversation. So caring and attentive. Roshan, the manager, is a truly kind person. Under his leadership, the service was simply outstanding. I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. If you’re looking for real hospitality and excellent service, this is the place. I’ll definitely come back!

Our first night in Sri Lanka was spent at Taru Villas in Kandy, a beautiful boutique hotel nestled in the heart of the city. This hidden gem, surrounded by busy streets, offered a unique sense of beauty and privacy within its confines. The hotel staff left a lasting impression with their exceptional service, being quick and responsive to our needs. The rooms were not only clean but also spacious, providing a comfortable retreat. However, the true highlight was the food. Both breakfast and dinner were exceptional, featuring some of the best chicken and ice cream dishes we've ever tasted. The chefs at Taru Villas truly outdid themselves, adding a memorable culinary experience to our stay. In conclusion, our overall experience was exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend Taru Villas to anyone visiting Kandy. It's a perfect blend of tranquility in the midst of a bustling city, coupled with outstanding service and culinary delights that leave a lasting impression!

Kandy, often called the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, is a city that blends history, nature, spirituality, and urban life in a uniquely charming way. Located in the central hill country, it remains one of the most visited cities in the island. Kandy has a calm, scenic, and slightly old-world charm. It is less hectic than Colombo but more active than smaller hill towns, offering a perfect balance for travelers who want culture, greenery, and city convenience in one place. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) is the city’s most iconic attraction and sacred to Buddhists worldwide. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its deep cultural heritage and preserved traditions. Kandy is rich in tradition, music, dance, and ancient rituals, making it a paradise for cultural enthusiasts.

Kandy is a beautiful town with so much to see and do.

Kandy is a beautiful town with so much to see and do. It’s the perfect central base for exploring nearby highlights like Nuwara Eliya and other major sightseeing spots. The famous Kandy–Ella train ride is a wonderful experience with stunning views. Kandy Lake is lovely for an evening walk, and the local markets — especially the Sunday market — are absolutely worth visiting. The Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Tooth) is a must-see; try to go in the evening when it’s cooler and the atmosphere is even more peaceful. Overall, Kandy is a charming town that offers culture, scenery, and convenience all in one.

Our trip around Kandy was truly memorable!

Our trip around Kandy was truly memorable! We loved visiting the Temple of the Tooth, strolling around the peaceful lake, and exploring the vibrant local markets. The botanical gardens were stunning, and everything was easy to reach from the train station. Great food, kind people, and beautiful scenery all around.

People advised us to have 2 days in Kandy - we would have been fine with just one. The weather did not help us it rained on and off the entire time we were there. Temple of the Sacred Tooth - tick - walk around the Botanical gardens - tick - Shopping DISMAL - Kandyan dance performance extremely touristy. I wish we had allocated an extra day for the hill country instead of Kandy, Best meal we had was at the Hideaway Lounge. Central market - awful fresh food and spices but seriously hideous tourist souvenirs. Old building needs renovation.

Kandy is an interesting historic city, with a number of must see sights - the Temple of The tooth, a walk around the lake, the Big Buddha. Peradeniya Botanical Gardens are just on the edge of the city. The market is bustling. If you are there in late July/early August you may catch the Perahera Festival - a parade of dressed elephants, fire whirlers, Kandy Dancers, Drummers and whip crackers.

The city centre is very polluted but there is a lot to see and it is worth exploring. I highly recommend taking a tuk tuk tour to visit the sights. We had an adventurous day out with Explore Kandy with Sajith Tuk Tuk Tours.

The beauty of the place blew our minds, I took more photos about the hotel than some Sri Lanka's sights :) The owner decorated the hotel and rooms himself which made the whole experience even more personal. We were sad that we had to leave after just one night but we arrived late to Kandy and had to leave early the next day. But even this short stay was memorable. The room was spacious and clean, the owner and his wife were super friendly and nice to talk to.

We stayed at a beautiful hotel in the town of Kandy, Sri Lanka, and it was truly wonderful. The rooms were very spacious and modernly furnished, and the staff was extremely helpful. We loved the excellent cuisine and the delicious breakfast. Plus, the view over the entire city was just breathtaking. It was also just a short distance from the city center, which made everything very convenient. We really enjoyed our stay here.
