This beautiful colonial style mansion situated 20 min drive from Kandy. it seems to be a house of a wealthy tea producer! this place is surrounded by trees, paddy fields , fruit trees, etc. It's so specious, its like living in a palace. you dont feel its a hotel. On our arrival, we were placed in a small room without... More

If you are looking for cutting edge, state of the art then don't choose this hotel! It is true local style and if you are lucky enough to be there while others are out, then you are treated to a feel of what it might be like to have your own Mansion! We stayed there last summer - I know,... More

We spent the last night of our third visit to Sri Lanka at The Mansion and booked due to the good rating from this site. Our experience did not live up to expectations and in no way reflected what we have grown to love about the Sri Lankan experience. The house itself is old and some of the furniture adds... More

We stayed here based on some of the reviews we read here. Unfortunately whilst the mansion is indeed a mansion, it is in much need of some TLC. There are beautiful colonial features but it is all covered in a layer of dust and the paint is peeling from the walls. The staff do try but the huge mansion feels... More

The Mansion is a great place to stay for those who like to experience authentic Sri Lanka and time travel into the old colonial period. One day we had the whole mansion to ourselves which was a very special feeling. The building, the furniture, the gardens and paddy fields create a perfect setting to chill out and relax after exploring... More

The rooms are large, quirky , grand and with the style of a bygone age. One of our rooms had tea making facilities but the other didn't so inconsistencies. This isn't 5 star although... More

We stayed at this hotel as part of our tour of Sri Lanka and we received a very warm welcome from the staff and enjoyed our 2 nights stay there very much. As other reviewers have stated it is an old property which has been restored lovingly and back to its original state without losing its charm and beautiful setting.... More

What can I say? My wife and I loved this hotel. The staff who worked there were extremely friendly and helpful, and the costs involved were really very small, especially when compared to other places we have stayed in in Sri Lanka. It must be said, however, The Mansion is a 30 minute Tuk Tuk ride from Kandy which could... More

If you are looking for a conventional hotel experience then forget it! The Mansion is one of life's more interesting places.Its very old and historic and quite unique.We only stayed there one night but wished it had been longer.Its a real period piece.Would you like to stay in a hotel once used by Mahatma Ghandi or by Hollywood Stars like...
