Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
At Thilanka Hotel, many guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, often complemented by fantastic views. The infinity pool is a recurring highlight, offering a spectacular view of Kandy and featuring a convenient bar open until late; some find the water a little chilly at night. The hotel's proximity to the Temple of the Tooth Relic is a definite plus, though the walk can be steep, and the breakfast receives positive feedback for its variety and great views from window-side tables, but a few guests have pointed out issues with outdated bathrooms.
