Overall Ratings & Reviews Theva Residency

Theva Residency is a nice hotel. Our room was good, comfortable and clean with a decent shower. We had a room with a terrace and lovely view of the hills around Kandy. Nice pool with good views. Breakfast was very good. The location is very scenic but nothing walkable that we found, although it's only a ten minute or so tuktuk ride down to the city which the hotel arranged. Definitely recommend a tuktuk tour of the temples and a visit to the Botanic Gardens is a must as they are huge, beautiful and very well maintained.

Peaceful, tranquil and good view. Friendly staff.

Such a lovely property! A little out of town but no trouble to travel back and forth in a tuk tuk. It helps if you have a driver you can contact though. The view from our room was amazing, everything was so clean and the staff were really attentive and the pool area was really relaxing

extremely nice room, and food. impeccable service

Bath is leaking to the room and the phone line didn’t work all three days. But the All the workers and food place area is really good.

It was a beautiful room with a great view. I enjoyed my visit there

If you're hesitating: just book it and thank me later. This was our favorite stay in Sri Lanka so far. The view was great, the room was nice, staff were friendly and restaurants served the tastiest food in Sri Lanka. What can you ask for?

We loved our stay at this property. We were lucky enough to reserve a suite with jacuzzi tub which really made the stay a unique one -- being able to watch the evening thunderstorms from the large picture windows and enjoy wine in the tub was super special. The pool was very nice and the sauna was a great way to relax. The food was always delicious. I even asked for their homemade jam/marmalade to take home. But I cannot say enough about the staff, who were over-the-top amazing. While we provided some individual staff tips, at the end of the stay we left a sizeable tip with the manager to share with the whole staff and hope that it was distributed as requested. We just adored our time there and felt truly cared for from breakfast to dinner and everything in between.

I stayed here I met owner of this property most lovely and humble lady I ever met . Manager to staff all beautiful people. Food was excellent I did not eat anywhere in Kandy because of excellency in food love it love it love it .. I feel like I met family 🙏

Great people and great place

Russell and the team are exceptional; incredibly warm and helpful. Will be staying again.

Excellent view

Good Hotel with excellent service with stunning views of Kandy, we look forward to staying there again in the future.

What sets this apart from the others is the outstanding staff and the amazing food. The staff are really knowledgeable about the local area and made our two days in Kandy totally worth our while. They also went above and beyond during our stay whenever we needed anything, regardless of rhe request. The chefs at this place are insane. The food that was presented was so creative and made the meals so inviting to eat. The taste of the food eclipses the presentation as well which really makes it a match made in heaven. Throw in the pool, spa and sauna and you really have all you could ask for Would highly recommend to anyone as it is well worth the money!

Lovely property! Great service!

Food and customer service

Beautiful little hotel, amazing service, extrémely helpful staff, gorgeous infinity pool. The restaurant is delicious. Highly recommended!

We had such a wonderful time at Theva residency. I have stayed all over the world and the combination of beautiful surroundings, food, luxury, and service made this perhaps my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at. It is modern, has a breathtaking view, the rooms are unique, beautiful and luxurious. And the people are the best. Russell’s staff spent every minute of every day working to keep us delighted. I can’t imagine a better hotel in this country. Also, the best restaurant in the province and one of the best in the country is basically your private kitchen.

The manager Abhay is a total diamond. Made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious and the views are insane! Room was cool too and overall a very pleasant stay. Good amenities and nice spot to explore Kandy as is 10 mins from temple

Incredible restaurant patio and pool area. The manager was extremely helpful, went out of his way to arrange us last-second transport to the train station. Location is both advantage and disadvantage depending what you’re looking for. Somewhat removed above the town.
