The Theva Residency

I had an amazing experience at this accommodation! Everything was exceptionally clean, from the room to the bathroom, which made the stay even more comfortable. The location is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, yet it’s still easily accessible by car or tuk-tuk. One of the highlights was the stunning city view, both from the room and the beautiful infinity pool—absolutely breathtaking! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my stay.

From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. Hotel Manager met us upon check in , during the stay and at check out which we felt so special. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. I especially loved the stunning mountain view. Theva residence exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation, this hotel is the perfect choice. Highly recommend! Thank you for the Hospitality

In the hills outside of Kandy with amazing views. Stunning design with clever use of glass to maximise the views. Pool was again designed well and very refreshing. Use of recycled bottles to make vertical plant wall clever by pool. The food was excellent, and service excellent. Relaxed atmosphere . We stayed in the penthouse which was incredibly spacious and a beautiful room, great for a family. Lovely touches like chocolate gift after supper.

The hotel is located about 10min on a ride up in the hill. We are glad that we chose this hotel because the city center was super busy and noisy, wouldn’t have enjoyed sleeping in this noise. The welcome drink (the ambarella juice) was refreshing and delicious.

I would recommend Theva Residency to anyone visiting the Kandy area. It is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in, in terms of service, views and friendliness. The room - large enough, good air con, large balcony with a beautiful view and good amounts of furniture. Has the typical - a fridge, safe, kettle etc. Comfy bed. Strong shower, we had a bath too. WiFi can be a bit temperamental in the room. TV seemed to be stuck on 1 channel. The hotel - beautiful surroundings! Views from all windows in all areas are great. Very clean. It is up a mountain so you do need a tuk tuk to get in and out of Kandy itself but this is pretty easy to arrange either on PickMe app or the front desk will arrange one. It's around 10-15 minute tuk tuk ride from central Kandy and via PickMe that costs around 400 Sri Lankan rupees. Pool area - there is a lovely infinity pool (3ft to a max of 5ft depth) with 6 loungers, towels provided. We never had trouble with getting space. There is also a sauna! Also the staff are really helpful, friendly and nice. The manager helped us arrange some excursions and made things really simple for us to get out and see lots of the sights! Food - breakfast exceptional with a choice of continental egg based breakfast or traditional Sri Lankan - both lovely. We ate dinner here most nights and had generally great meals - the curries and fish are the best meals, I was a bit disappointed in the Nasi Goreng/fajitas as they were both surprisingly bland. Overall, it's a place I'd recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful oasis while being near some nice Sri Lankan sights/places.
