Mountbatten Bungalow- Thema Collection

We loved everything about this place. The location was perfect, in the hills with exceptional views but only a 10-15 minute tuk tuk ride from Kandy city. The food was exceptional, with breakfast served outside in the garden and dinner inside the old manor. The service is like no other. The best I have ever experienced. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very spacious with all the amenities. We loved spending time in the infinity pool with the most magnificent views over the hills including the most beautiful gardens and birds. However, what made this place so special were the staff. Everyone (especially Chula) were so warm, welcoming and had the biggest genuine smiles on their faces. Nothing was too much for them, including arranging drivers, day tours and delivering coconuts after us spotting locals climbing coconut trees. Chamilla the driver took us on an amazing tour which included the botanical gardens, gem factory, dance show and to a dosa place in the city (Balaji Dosai - highly recommend). We had the best time and couldn’t recommend this place enough.

The perfect time out/chill out atmosphere. Zero distractions so a good place to stay between busier locations. The staff is very considerate and kind. We stayed in the chalet which was great as the rooms in the bungalow are very closed, darker with no outside space. Garden is lovely and the pool area, while small is very nice.

It was a delight to stay two nights at this idyllic hotel with a sense of history. Our chalet bungalow set in the grounds was modern and peaceful. The main building offered a glimpse of old British colonial history and was very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and the staff very attentive. The beautiful grounds were very well maintained and were very restful. An extremely enjoyable stay to be highly recommended.

Ok, if you are a self-driver and you have to arrive at night at the hotel the road is very, let's say interesting 🤔🙂 But when you get there it is paradise. Best rooms, best food, best breakfast, not only nice and polite employees but as well very professional. We have been in many hotels. This was for sure one of the top 3 in Sri Lanka. Overall I think it was our favourite hotel during all stay off the coast. Thanks for everything.

The property is a gem, beautifully set in nature, offering a serene ambiance in an elegantly converted old bungalow. Ideal for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in tranquility. The culinary experience was top-notch. With a variety of set menus to choose from, the quality and taste of the food were exceptional.
