We visited Sri Lanka for our Wedding/honeymoon and Richmond House was our last stop before heading home. Although every place we stayed at was lovely, Richmond house had the extra little touches to make it special. We stayed in a suite with remarkable views from the balcony. The room was clean, tidy and available for us when we arrived. The... More

Sorry for the title, it was my fiance's idea! Stayed in JULY 2011. We stayed for 3 nights, and the place was bliss. We echo one of the posters statements that it is run by the nicest and friendliest people. The views are spectacular over the lush green hills and the nights are mind-blowing, especially when we sat and ate... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in February 2013 as part of a 30 day tour around Sri Lanka. The hotel is located at the top of the hill, you wind your way up the hill by car, you park and then walk a short distance up a steep drive to the grand entrance which has a number of steps.... More

First let me tell you my experience prior booking Richmond House. I was deciding whether to stay in Villa Rosa or Richmond House for our 4-day visit to Kandy. Since I couldn't find any details about the family suite of Villa Rosa, I emailed them for details. To my surprise, I got the reply from the owner saying that he... More

We've just come back from SL and what a place. The entrance to the hotel is grand and cosy, the welcome drink was a lovely introduction to Kandy. The room is really nice and the four poster bed was a lovely touch. My husband loved the hotel so much we had dinner in the hotel that evening (which we never... More

We stayed for two nights at the beginning of Feb 2013. I cannot find anything that I would not absolutely love about this hotel - the view is astonishing, rooms are nice and clean, food is just delicious and the staff is superpolite and always welcomes you with a smile. Truly a lovely place to stay
