My stay at Amaara Sky Hotel was truly a blend of stunning views and warm hospitality, although there were a few setbacks. The ambiance was a highlight, particularly the way we were welcomed and the beautifully designed Penthouse. However, the rooms could use some attention, especially with worn furniture and limited amenities. Overall, it was nice, but with room for improvement.

My stay at Amaara Sky Hotel was overall good, with a few areas needing improvement. The views from my room were simply stunning, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. However, the lack of a pool was disappointing, especially since we were traveling with our 4-year-old and the hotel is quite remote from town. I also noticed some issues like thin curtains and no availability of alcohol, which detracted from the experience.

The hotel is perched high on a steep hill, offering lovely views. However, it's quite far from downtown, requiring a tuk-tuk for trips, which can be stressful given the roads.

Dining

The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, and room service options like the curry were plentiful and delicious. Still, I was disappointed by the absence of alcohol options.

While the amenities were decent, the lack of a pool and issues like high towel rails left something to be desired. Other than dining, I saw limited facilities available.

My stay at Amaara Sky Hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room I was checked into was spacious and boasted a lovely view of the city, which was a definite high point. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was thoughtfully prepared. However, I did miss having a pool and the TV selection could use some international channels for travelers. Overall, I'd recommend this hotel for anyone seeking comfort and a serene atmosphere in Kandy.

I had a nice stay at Amaara Sky Hotel Kandy, where the amazing mountain views truly stood out. My room was clean and spacious, offering a lovely balcony to take in the scenery. However, the amenities didn't quite meet my expectations, especially given its claimed four-star rating. The dining options were good, but a bit more variety would enhance the experience.
