The Albatross, Kandy

Unmatched experience during our travels in Sri Lanka, amazing views, room was ideal. Service was fantastic, golf course is extremely unique and enjoyable. Worth the drive outside of Kandy for the experience.

A one off. Super stunning views, room whilst not huge, had everything we needed and the shower was splendid , all was well planned and organised. Food was cooked to order and excellent and the staff were splendid.

I was heading to the Kandy region for the cricket and fancied the chance of a game of golf too. I thought that off the beaten track would help me recover from the road trip from Galle and spotted this hotel. When I arrived, I wondered if I was at the right place because the hotel is set below the level of the road, perched on the side of the hill. The staff were incredibly friendly from the start. I had a G & T in hand before I'd even checked in. The chef asked me what I would like for dinner and how I would like it cooked and told me I could have a full english breakfast at any time I liked in the morning. I was impressed. As it was dark, I could not see the view but there was a sense of space. When I woke in the morning and looked out of the window, the view of the Victoria lake was incredible. I arrived for breakfast to find that my table had been set on the balcony of the dining room and that beneath my feet was real turf. Stunning. I stayed 4 nights and throughout my stay nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I ventured onto the Golf Course and found the rental equipment really good quality, caddies were helpful and green fees affordable. I was even invited to join members of The Histon and Impington Golf Handicap Society for their round and a few beers afterwards. Thank you.
