A hidden gem next to bustly Kandy! The staff is great, always looking to please guest. They had recommended to rent a tuk-tuk for the day with a local and we enjoyed all the visits. We were also very pleased to swim in the pool after the visits. Thanks!

Amazing Taru Villas

Fantastic hotel, beautiful room, super staff and service. The food concept was amazing🙏 Only issue was a to much humidity and that room 1 was not cleared for this. Amazingly quiet staying at the hotel, with the very high trafic by the road in front of the hotel. And that the train passed the just behind the hotel. We didn’t hear a thing👏We stayed in other Taru Villa - a great hotel chain of special small hotels. Can highly recommend!!

Excellent hôtel, personnel très accueillant et très gentil, chambre très spacieuse, confortable et très jolie chambre 8. Le restaurant est excellent digne d'un semi gastronomique français et le cadre est très reposant après l'effervescence du centre ville. Je recommande les yeux fermés. Grand merci à toute l'équipe du Tarou Villas Hôtel.

Très bel hôtel avec un passé historique. L’accueil est chaleureux et le personnel au top, tout comme la cuisine. Seul petit inconvénient, la voie de chemin de fer à l’arrière de l’hôtel et la route principale à l’avant. Lors de notre séjour à Kandy,

Beautiful and genuine hotel

We celebrated New Year’s Eve here and had a wonderful 24h at this hotel. The staff is super friendly, the restaurant offers a wide variety of good food, and the whole atmosphere at the hotel is calm, inviting and welcoming. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and we got an outdoor “living room” outside our room, right by the pool. We will be back if we/when we come back to Kandy

Il servizio, l’accoglienza eccellente! Prodotti per la doccia molto buoni. Il cenone di capodanno che ci hanno offerto è stato impeccabile! Rimasto senza parole non appena messo piede in questo posto. La colazione eccellente! Lo chef è davvero in gamba, i pancake erano buonissimi, ne avrei mangiati ancora di più se non fossi stato così sazio! Sono davvero dispiaciuto di non aver passato altre notti in questa struttura, merita davvero tanto!

A very classy place

Taru Villas backs onto the railway, which is absolutely charming, watching the odd train come by while eating dinner on the terrace. The joy of the place is that it's an oasis in the middle of town - don't let reviews put you off that say it's noisy as when it comes to bedtime we did not hear a thing from our room with the ceiling fan on. It's location means it's just a £3 tuktuk from all the main sights. The service is second to none, nothing is too much trouble and when arriving/returning, the GM ensured we were properly hosted throughout and we were made teas and little snacks on the house. The dinner, which was included, was delicious, but for me it was the breakfast that was standout - don't miss it! Also the rooms would work well for families with a child as each room has a day bed which converts.
