Hotel The Tourmaline
Anniwatta, 20000 Kandy, Sri Lanka – Great location - show map
Hospitality and staff behavior. Location Provided driver accommodation
IndiaThe place where the property is very good looking & the view from the property is so beautiful
Sri LankaThe rooms are stunning. Well designed, thoughtful yet unpretentious and the bathtubs are amaxing - you can lat un the bath while overlooking the hillsides. The staff also go out of their way to be helpful.
Canadaeverything. they were so friendly and treated us well.
Sri Lankasuite rooms are one of the best i had. friendly staff delicious foods with big variety. nice surroundings, altogether had a memorable stay.
Sri LankaAlmost everything— the ambience, the price, the discounts I got from the spa and restaurants for booking at booking.com. Restaurant has a wide selection for non curry eaters. ❤️
United Arab EmiratesQuite surrounding, room is very clean, comfortable good value for money
Sri LankaWe were afraid that being a couple of clicks outside the city would be a problem but we had no problem. The hotel offers a free shuttle twice daily into town and both taxi and tuk tuk drivers can get you back for a good price. Tuk tuk was 300 rupee. Because we booked with bookings.com we were given a fruit basket and discounts on all meals, drinks and spa use. The welcome is sweetly ceremonial and includes a welcome cup of tea. The room was spacious and very, very clean. A comfortable bed and pillows and sometimes there were little surprises of flowers or specially folded blankets and towels. The restaurant is also very nice with a good menu of Asian and European food. WiFi always worked. The staff was especially kind and helpful. The only thing that could use a little bright work was the pool changing area. It’s a bit dated. Otherwise, we felt this was a great value and we highly recommend it.
United States of AmericaThey warmly welcomes us. It was unique . We recommend this hotel. Such a friendly staff. And they nicely arranged the room. We’re really happy with everything.
