The Grand Walawwa

Beautiful hotel. Spacious and comfortable rooms. Great staff. The architecture of the place is beautiful. Food was really good as well.

The restaurant takes so long to prepare the food. Took us nearly 2 hours to get our food from the time of ordering it. Surprisingly, room service was quick. The food tastes really good though.

Once you enter the property is like stepping back in time, where modernity mixes with history in a very relaxing atmosphere, the staff is young and willing to go above and beyond of your expectation, nothing is impossible, a smile is guaranteed, bed are comfortable and rooms are super well equipped and really chic, food is very good and we cannot wait to come back good job guys!!! Wish all the best

We liked everything

The hotel is immaculately restored from a former residence, and extended in a sympathetic way to match the original. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The pool is small but perfect for the size of the hotel.

There is a new extension along the side being built which is too close to the original building, however this is for wedding events and we were told that when these events are taking place the whole hotel is likely to be booked out by the wedding guests.

The hotel is a great escape from a busy city. We love the colonial architecture and its comfort. The staff was nice, particularly the restaurant staff who took extra care of our meals. Mr. Brian was an amazing person who listened to our meal requests.

It's just a minor thing. The frant staff seems to not be aware of Booking.com booking and had a slight delay during the checkout.

The hotel is very grand and comfortable. The staff were excellent. They arranged a Sri Lankan food cooking class for us, even though they had a very large organised party going on at the same time.

Stunning and quiet property in the heart of a busy city! We were welcomed by the stuff with some drinks and everyone took a lot of care of us and our luggage. The beds were the best we had during our 2 months Sri Lanka stay 😊

It was all great!

Huge spacious rooms with an old colonial vibe. Our room and the hotel was very clean. The staff was prompt and polite. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the elephant orphanage in Pinnawala. Not much to do around. Limited eating options outside as well in the Kegalle market. But loved the fact that despite being so close to the main market, the property itself was so quiet and peaceful. Even managed to see a few fireflies in the night. The breakfast was good too!

Limited food options on the menu. Would recommend some local food options to be included in the menu like curries and rice. Was a little disappointed to find beans and carrots as a topping on the veggie pizza.
