Lovely guesthouse with jungle views
We had a lovely stay at Hathana House. The rooms are very spacious & the views are great. It’s not walking distance from Kandy, however it’s not far & about $2 CDN in a tuktuk to the town. The hosts made a delicious curry for dinner and provided a great breakfast in the morning!

The Perfect Stay
It was the perfect place to start my trip in Sri Lanka. The place is clean and rooms are spacious with a well functioning AC. The food they serve is great, home cooked meal feeling. As this was my first stay in Sri Lanka, they help me organized better my trip, and went out of his way to help me get a window seat at the train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella and this was priceless.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Hanthana House. Nestled in the hills, each room has a great view of the surrounding greenery. The host was welcoming from the minute I arrived. The home cook dinner was one of the best meals I had in Sri Lanka. The host also helped arranged for a driver and guide to Dambulla and Sigiriya. My guide, Ayesh, was super knowledgable, extremely patient, and a safe driver.

Lot of room for improvement
Our overall experience was mediocre. If not for the service of two employees, it could have been worse. The owner was interested in our ranking more than the service they provided. There was bed linen hanging outside our room to dry. The bathroom is sub par, and there were cockroaches in the cupboard. When told about the spiders, he did not seem to care much about it. However my ranking of the facility was purely because of the exemplary service provided by the kitchen and service staff, Kusuma and Nuwan respectively. They were exceptional. Overall this facility has a lot of room for improvement to reach the level a hotel or even a home stay.

Clean and comfortable hotel
Room is clean and bathroom is reasonably big. Our room has a big balcony and good view over the hill. The house is big with a room balcony for yoga. Staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is located furthest at the end of the road. A little difficult to find at night and can only be accessed by car. We really like the place overall.

Great view, lovely rooms
Lovely newly built rooms with great view over the hillside. Family feeling and super helpful owners. It’s not within comfortable walking distance from the city center so you’ll most likely need to take a tuktuk (approximately 400lkr) just ask the owners for help ordering one.

A quiet oasis near to Kandy
We had a lovely stay at Hanthana House. Pathie and his staff were charming and helpful without being overbearing or pushy. They gave us good advice and helped us to plan trips. A little out of Kandy but for us that was more pleasant

Quaint guesthouse in the hills overlooking Kandy
Nice guesthouse with beautiful views out over and beyond kandy. The room was comfortable and large and the family running it were very accomodating taking us out for a sunset walk after arriving. The breakfast and dinner were authentically homemade, plentiful and great value for money.

Very well kept guest house with friendly family.
The hospitality of the owner and his wife at Hanthana House were outstanding. Firstly, all of the meals were delicious and the hostess explained to us how they were cooked and prepared. We had problems obtaining train tickets to Ella but the owner went out of his way to ensure that we had train tickets and a driver for part of our journey to Ella who took us to a tea plantation. It was a fabulous day and all thanks to the owner of Hanthana House - we cannot thank him enough. The room we stayed in was elegant with beautiful views down the valley - it was a haven to retire here in the evenings after a busy day in Kandy.

Best curries and good service!
Good service and amenities. The food was excellent, best dinners in Sri Lanka so far!! Loved the okra and banana flowers, delicious. The location is a bit far from Kandy city, certainly too hilly to walk anywhere. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Great little place.
The family owners were super nice, room was very nice. Took a bit to find the place, but that is Sri Lanka for you. Bathroom shower still had a bit more work to be done as it was a lot of just plain cement, but can't complain as still amazing room otherwise for price. I would definitely come back when in area.

Schöne Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage!
Das Hanthana House ist ein wenig vom Stadtzentrum entfernt auf einem Hügel gelegen. Die Lage ist optimal, da die Stadt sehr laut ist. Mit dem Tuktuk kommt man aber schnell ins Zentrum. Die Zimmer sind schön, gepflegt und sauber. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Aussicht auf die Hügellandschaft, was sehr schön war. Das Essen zubereitet von den Gastgebern war fantastisch, es gab auch immer ein reichhaltiges Frühstück. Die Unterkunft ist für den Preis unschlagbar!
