Disappointing stay!
This is not a 5 star hotel. Porter were not available on arrival to assist with lugguage. Overall, hotel need a refurbishment as it is tired. We were given a accessible room, and when we have a shower the whole toilet was flooded - a plastic curtains was the shower door. Towels were old and smell. Room also smell damp and moulded. We could hear the people in thr next room and anyone walking in the corridor. We checked in at around 4pm amd checked out at 8am - not an inviting hotel that you want to hang around.

Avoid at all costs
Avoid at all costs. Pros: Service at the spa and restaurant was good. Cons: Old hotel, old furniture, mattress was hard and has that little ledge on the edges, like your parents mattress from 40yrs ago. Sheets were tired, I felt disgusting lying there and thankful that it was only 1 night. Air con was not effective. Poor service and communication. When I checked in, I asked for a late checkout, they agreed 12pm and wrote it down. At 11.30 the next day they called, asking why I hadn’t checked out. I told them I had a late check-out which should be in their system, and can they send someone up in 5mins to take my bags. No one came. When I checked in, I asked would there be a spa menu. They said yes it is in the room. It wasn’t in the room, I called reception, they told me to call the spa, the spa told me to ask reception. Seriously, get your act together guys, I want to spend money at the spa and you don’t even want it. The guy at reception told me contradictory hours for the spa service times. Service wise- whenever I had to sign something, they put it in front of me and didn’t say a word- never experienced such rudeness at a hotel. It was a horrible stay and when I checked out, the lady asked how my stay was. I told her that I was disappointed, and the reasons why. Then to sort my payment, she directed me to another lady (whom I thought was more senior), who didn’t say a thing or ask how my stay was, simply printed the invoice for signing.

The Mahawell Reach Hotel was a welcome respite after many hours of driving. Large comfortable rooms with all the usual 4 star hotel inclusions. Great bed. The shower was over the bath and quite deep so if you have mobility issues I would recommend asking for a room with separate shower. The breakfast was the usual but nice buffet style (excellent omelette). We stayed two nights and this hotel was good.

Amazing Hotel & Awesome Staff!
We absolutely love this hotel! The hotel itself if amazing and the staff were exceptional. Ask for Damith, he is an amazing person with a lot of attention to detail. We strongly recommend this hotel to everyone. We stayed here one night only and we should have booked at least two nights. Wonderful hotel, amazing food selection between all the hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. Very well done, good job to everyone!

Good location on the river
Lovely location on the river, a little away from the centre of Kandy but only a short tuc tuc ride so no real problem. Very good buffet breakfast & evening meal. Pity there was no beer over the New Year period!

5 star hotel by the longest river in Sri Lanka
Hotel located in a scenic area (had some time locating it as decided to drive on my own) but wouldn't be a problem if one hires a local taxi. Hotel staff were very courteous right from the reception till the house keeping / engineering staff. Food was awesome (at least to me) as I gorged myself on Sri Lankan food - sea food, hoppers, rotis, sambols, etc simply put a wide variety of international and Sri Lankan food. Lots of things to do - boat rides, swim in the pool, visit the historical botanical gardens located a few kilometres away, visit the heritage sites (Dalada Maligawa - Lord Buddha's relics are kept and venerated by the Buddhists) and lots more. Certainly was a change from the humid weather one found in Colombo and the towns we visited on the coast - Galle, Kalutara etc. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to all my friends. Keep up the good work of and all the best, Regards Ijaz
