Old Frankland Kandy Luxury Boutique Hotel

An Unforgettable Stay in Kandy – Thanks to Chamara!From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our incredible host, Chamara, who truly made our stay in Kandy unforgettable. The hotel was nestled in a beautiful, serene location with stunning views of the surrounding hills — a perfect blend of nature and comfort.The rooms were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully arranged with every detail taken care of. Waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature and enjoying a cup of tea on the balcony was a dream. The food was absolutely delicious — authentic Sri Lankan flavors cooked with love.What truly made the experience special was Chamara’s hospitality. He went above and beyond to make us feel at home, offering local tips, helping us plan our activities, and always being available with a warm smile. His kindness and professionalism set this place apart.Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kandy. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, this is the place to be. Thank you, Chamara, for making our trip so memorable — we’ll definitely be back!

I loved the calmness and serenity this hotel provided, away from the chaos of Kandy itself. Staff were exceptional, delicious evening meal and breakfast too. Staff were beyond accommodating, thank you! Comfortables beds. We arrived late, and getting to this property is an adventure in itself. I would strongly advise travelling by day and using a tuk-tuk or jeep. The roads are windy, narrow and steep. Not for the faint hearted traveller! Worth the effort though once you sit and take in that view!

The staff were great and really looked after us! The location is beautiful and served us well to relax for a day after climbing Sri Pada

The hotel is located in the heart of the nature, No city noise to disturb your peace, if you are a nature lover and looking for a getaway from the city this property is the perfect choice, The food was amazing, the best sri lankan food you can try here, The breakfast was AMAZING, and the gentleman who received us was very caring, and helpful, chamara was an amazing person who made our stay unforgettable.

The location was a bit tricky as our driver couldn’t find the hotel upon arrival, However, the hotel staff were in contact with him and we were able to arrive safely.

The hotel is in the middle of jungle, therefore the tranquility,privacy and view you will have is exceptional! The infinity pool just marvellous. The host is a really smiley, friendly and warm person! Breakfast was great. We were on our honeymoon and they prepared for us a welcome towel art and some flowers .

The location is not suitable, but the view and the peace you will experience it’s worth it. One of the towels were dirty and we found some spider webs on the lambs. Water was not hot. The mini fridge was not working.

Quiet place with a nice view. Staff was very kind and helpful and prepare some meal after our late evening arrival.

The hotel and its facilities look very old and deserve renovation. Beware of the distance from Kandy, we drove about 1,5 hours to the hotel from the city and the road is not very suitable for larger cars.

We visited the hotel on our honeymoon and the staff made our stay truly special. The hotel is amazing with a pool you can see mountains and tea plantations and the famous white tower next to Kandy. Everyone was so nice, the food is great and the athmosphere is over the top. You are staying in the middle of the jungel, unforgettable experience!

The road to the hotel is a bit tricky, it's on the top of a beautiful mountain, so I wouldn't advise if you are driving. Local tuktuks can manage easily though, ask the hotel to arrange one for you!

Loved this place - super rural in the heart of nature. Big room with great view. Lots of lovely walks around the area and super friendly locals and staff. A tour with the owner is a must to understand the plantation. Brilliant!

Nothing - wished we could have stayed longer!

What an amazing view on the mountains. Almost like an infinity pool with a beautiful view. The rooms were good, clean. Staff was super responsive, kind and very helpful.

Don't be afraid of the road to get there - it is a bit bumpy and almost offroad but our van driver did a great job and got us there. It is on top of the mountain, thats why it takes so long. But all that forgets when You see the wonderful view and the pool.

The location was exceptionally beautiful. The room was very neat and clean . The staff Mr Chamara was very kind and friendly with us. Best location with family .For vegetarian food less options but he managed to give us whatever he can .

Less option for vegetarian people to get food .

A gorgeous, tranquil stay with a stunning view. We were warmly greeted by the wonderful host, Chamara and his team. Every need was taken care of and made us feel as if we were old friends. You can really take a moment to relax and absorb your surroundings. A perfect spot too, to admire the canopy of stars above.

It was in a beautiful location so calm and lovely pool. Staff were really friendly. They even arranged a birthday cake for my birthday.

It was all good. Maybe a bit far out and road to get there was quite bumpy but otherwise all good.

The hotel is located in a fantastic spot with a stunning view, including the distant Ambuluwawa tower. We had planned to stay for one night but the peace, great atmosphere, and view made us extend our stay for a few more days. The pool with its captivating view was enjoyed by adults and children alike. We traveled by tuk-tuk, and our advice to others is to use this mode of transport but avoid driving up the hill to the hotel yourself. The hotel staff can help you arrange this service.The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious.

The hotel shows signs of wear and our room lacked air conditioning, but the incredible views, friendly staff, and overall ambiance made our stay unforgettable.

Adventure to get there - top of the hill, with jeep! But great place to be! Nice view and friendly personnel. Great food. Warm welcome. Place to stay for more than one night! Swimming pool with view on the mountains… felt like paradise!

Not easy to access - but friendly and helpful host picks you up by jeep!

Amazing place with a beautiful view. Swimming pool. Nice dinner and breakfast.

Little bit challenging road in tuktuks.

Beautiful LocationLovely staff

We didn’t have an air con in our roomRoom was very tired

Pool with incredible view, very helpful host, he was smiling all the time. Out host cooked delicious meels!

A bit far away from everything, hard to get there, but the host helped orginizing the transport.

• Amazing view! • silent area - only you and the animals • Pool was wonderful• He cooked dinner for us and it was yummy! (U better eat there, there won’t be so much out of the area - you need an hour to Kandy• even we were the only guests he made it for us as a wonderful stayWe got welcomed by really smiling people and got a welcome drink! The rooms were bigger than we expected! The dinner was also great and it was for a really good price

The way to the hotel isn’t that easy, but you will already know if you check the comments! But it isn’t that worse how some people wrote…Some areas needs some maintainence, but probably because of covid and the less tourists here!

A hidden gem. The most beautiful location, hidden in the hills. The view is incredible. Great for walking/running/biking. The staff are so wonderful and kind. We said it was our anniversary and they organised a dinner outside by the sunset view. Would 100% recommend and would love to go back.

The views were stunning, and the staff were very hospitable. The meals were very fresh and the place was quite tranquil. Nalin is a gifted host.Pro tip: try star gazing if you are spending a night with a clear sky, you can thank me later.

The access roads to the property are bumpy and could be improved.
