1. Location is right by the lake. Very convenient. And supermarket close by 2. It’s an historical building and that’s the reason we chose to stay. 3. It’s better than we expected as our room face the pool so it was quiet which made the experience better. I like the wood floor so it’s nice. There is a fridge and safe in the room. And bottle of water 4. I like the pool and sunbathing after the day out 5. Wifi works well everywhere including the pool area 6. We only had breakfast buffet. It’s ok with variety but the coffee is terrible. The restaurant atmosphere is very good 7. Staff very friendly

Great central location by the lake in Kandy, convenient for the station to get train to Ella. The Queens is a glorious step back in time to Victorian slightly faded splendour. Vintage dark furniture, high ceilings, big rooms, ample space for everything and good value. Buffet food perfectly good without being top notch but that doesn't take away from the wonderful old world atmosphere of the place. If shiny and new pristine (read sterile) modern hotels are your preference, avoid the Queens, but if you have better taste, stay here.

Our Junior Suite was located alongside the lake with a balcony and view, however this did have a drawback as the traffic noise started early. We loved the heritage feel of the hotel and delighted in its quirky features such as the Museum Cafe. Having stayed previously I knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Th restaurant food was buffet style however it was possible to choose al la carte. A good Breakfasr selection was on offer

The rooms were very spacious. The triple room we ordered for our three sons was large and it had balconies that overlooked the lake and was very beautiful. Originally we had got the two rooms on two different floors, but after talking to the staff, they were very accommodating and moved us so we were on the same floor with just one other room in-between.

If you care more about beautiful hardwood floors and different antique furniture in each room than whether or not the shampoo bottles are squeezable enough, read on. I always feel pretty defensive about characterful hotels like this one that receive lukewarm write-ups because they've faded a little. Or, worse still, because travellers expect obsequious treatment. Personally, I found all the staff obliging and friendly. Yes, there's a shabbiness to certain areas like the pool changing rooms, but you're not paying anything close to a five star international hotel price to stay in this fantastic heritage establishment right on the side of the lake. A Shangri-La or Hilton could only dream of looking this good in a hundred years' time.

We chose to stay at Queens hotel because of the iconic landmark building in the very heart of Kandy and its glorious past, fully aware of it’s shortcomings, and did not regret it. We managed to get a good deal for a junior suite, which was spacious and nicely furnished, and enjoyed our view of the lake from the room and its small balconies. Despite parts of the hotel being in desperate need of renovation the room and the common areas were in good general condition. The young staff was eager to compensate the shortcomings of the aged building. Breakfast buffet was very good, but we did not try dinner because of all the bad reviews.

The general ambience of this old colonial hotel. All the staff with one exception were very helpful and cheerful. The rooms we had were clean and comfortable but on the 3rd floor only one small window.

We came for the history & atmosphere which it is full of. The maintenance needs attention but overall an enjoyable stay. When we had an air conditioner problem we were quickly upgraded to a much nicer room.The staff were very courteous & helpful especially the gentleman at reception who is a great fan of Gardening Australia which I have watched for years also the restaurant staff were very attentive. If you like everything pristine & perfect you should stay elsewhere but for character & atmosphere Queens Hotel provides an interesting stay.

We booked at Queen's for 2 nights and finally extended for one more :) Thanks a lot to a wonderful friendly staff of the hotel, they helped us a lot, special thanks for your surprise for my mum's birthday, she was so happy to get this tasty beautiful cake from you on her day ☺ Hotel is very antique and the vintage atmosphere is fantastic. Location is the best, very comfortable to reach Kandy spots from this hotel. Our room was cosy and clean, we had kettle, tea, coffee, water in our room, cleaning was offered daily.

Theee reasons to stay here: location, swimmingpool with shady very quiet garden and nearby the bar, and the history of this hotel built 1844. Comfortable room with view on swimmingpool. Yes there is laxk in maintaining, bathroom not modern standard, but shower ok with hot water and beds very good. For your breakfast go just around the corner, for perfect masala soda or western breakfast, The location allows you to visit temple of tooth at 5.30 am for the first ceremony. I was the only tourist and not more then around 20 srilankan people for doing their offerings. I know the difference, was there also at 6.30 pm.
