The Theva Residency

I went to Theva with a big group of people in the middle of June. All of us had a superb experience. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay spectacular. Thank you to Iresh and the team for making our visit so memorable. The attention to detail at this hotel was world class, from the food and beverage offerings to the rooms everything was amazing. The view from the property was truly stunning as well, especially in the mornings. There is no better place to stay in Kandy. Theva should be an essential stop for all of the town’s visitors.

Overall an excellent hotel with excellent service. We had a room which ended up having a small leak in the wall and they gave us an upgrade to a better room with a jacuzzi which was very nice but honestly the other room was nice as well. As it’s ultra low season there was never many people in the hotel so the staff couldn’t be more helpful Things to be aware of It’s quite a way up the hill from town you can walk down in 40 mins if you don’t get lost but it would be quite a slog up . I got a tuk tuk up for 700 Rupees which is just over 2 dollars. Ok what about the food ? …,overall excellent. Wonderful breakfasts dreamy dinner love the possibly too small portions of meatballs with so many flavour profiles and the black pork curry was fantastic maybe could have been a bit more spicy but I guess they are catering for a very international audience. If anything wasn’t quite as you wanted it you they did this best to change it. They could have mean more generous with the free water in the room rather than 2 tiny bottles ( but when asked they always provided them free of charge . The mats for the sun beds need to be replaced as they slip off all the time as all the straps are broken These though are very very minor points So would I stay here again definitely and for what I paid due to the season excellent value. Food is a real positive. Definitely high end Asian fusion The range of juices all freshly made are all excellent. Great hotel glad we decided to stay there and will certainly come back next time I’m in Kandy. The Staff make it. One final point up so high on the hill the air is much much cleaner , there is a lovely breeze and it’s much calmer than down in the town. For an extended stay this for me is the only location I would stay in

Huge and very scenic room, with lovely massive comfy bed and great balcony. Lovely welcoming staff made one feel at home. The view of the hills and Kandy are superb..the pool is refreshing with a great view . Such a relaxing location away from Kandy hustle and bustle.

Lovely little place for a small stop over. The staff are attentive and welcoming. The breakfast was also okay but the fruits could have been fresh. We only spent one night but definitely enjoyed their hospitality. The place is very quiet and at the time, almost felt like we were alone.
