Great hotel in the hills overlooking the city, we did't realise how high it was until our ride brought us there! Single track roads, often steep and vertiginous climb but worth the journey. Amazing place, uninterupted views, 4 or 5 rooms, staff were so friendly, nothing was any trouble. Many thanks to Kogel, he got us a tuk tuk on the first night to take us into town and Mr Madhu the driver became our driver for the whole trip, driving us the long journeys to elephant orphanages and tea plantations/factories in a tuk tuk or undeterminable age, truely an experience we'll not forget. If you're faint of heart I'd recommend a cab instead as it was a little white knuckle at times! Fish curry at breakfast time, delicious. And we stayed in for dinner one night, also recommended this as the menu is short but absolutely top quality. Overall, I'd recommend this place 100%.

I seriously can't find fault in the place!

I loved the room, it’s big with huge windows that allowed natural sunlight to come into the room. Also, the balcony was big and nice to sit and admire the view. The hotel is not that big yet cozy and lovely. The staff were welcoming and kind.

Nothing!

Nestled amid Kandy's majestic mountains, The Summit Hotel offers a breathtaking view that steals the show. Watching the sun dip below the horizon during our arrival was simply magical. And rising early to witness the sunrise from our balcony with a steaming cup of coffee was the epitome of tranquility. You can even catch a glimpse of the stunning scenery from the reception, and there's a cozy viewpoint atop the hotel with a bar where we wished we could have lingered longer. Upon our arrival at The Summit Hotel, we were greeted with a refreshing welcome that set the tone for our entire stay. The offering of cold towels provided instant relief from the tropical heat, while the tantalizing aroma of strawberry and mint tea infused the air, inviting us to unwind and indulge in a moment of blissful relaxation. This thoughtful gesture exemplified the hotel's commitment to providing a holistic experience of comfort and rejuvenation from the very first moment of our arrival. Such small but meaningful touches added an extra layer of hospitality that truly elevated our stay to new heights. The service at The Summit was top-notch. The staff, including Jagan and Dharma, were incredibly polite, helpful, and always ready to assist. Their excellent command of English made communication a breeze, and they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Inside our room, modern elegance awaited. The sleek interior design and spotless cleanliness impressed us from the moment we stepped in. Every essential was thoughtfully provided, from the tea and coffee station to the plush towels and refreshing air conditioning. The bed was cozy, the shower was invigorating, and the view of the mountains added a touch of magic to even the simplest activities like brushing teeth or showering. Despite arriving later than planned, our dining experience at the hotel's restaurant exceeded expectations.

Despite Google Maps leading us astray, the staff at the hotel were incredibly helpful in assisting us to find our way. Their patience and guidance made a stressful situation much more manageable. While the hiccup with navigation was frustrating, the positive experience with the staff left a lasting impression.

The Summit is a lovely boutique hotel. The attention to detail is noticeable in every aspect. The interior is beautiful with lovely artwork and a sense of calm. With spectacular views. It is a haven away from the bustle of Kandy. Our room was so comfortable, comfy bed, lots of little extras (even Christmas cookies). The staff are very friendly and attentive. The breakfast was the best we have had in Sri Lanka - with a choice of english or Sri Lankan and the fruit and juices are grown in the hotel gardens and the hotel is doing everything to be ecological. It is a short drive up the hill from Kandy but it was well worth it. Highly recommended. The owner is so kind and caring - I had a bad eye infection and he organised an appointment at a private hospital and even took us down in his car and made sure we saw the Doctor - which we did. He even gave us his details if we had any further problems.

That we could not stay longer.

The location is such that there are incredibly breathtaking views of Kandy from the property. This includes having stunning views from sitting in bed or sitting on the private balcony. It’s also quite an adventure climbing the hills to get there!! The room was clean, everything newish and water/tea/coffee restocked daily. Bathroom was good size and very clean. The food was amazing; amongst the best I’ve eaten so far in Sri Lanka. The colleagues were incredibly accommodating in allowing me to swap some breakfast options and the Western portion was simply too much food for me. :-) Finally, everyone was always available for support and to answer all questions. The colleagues arranged a last-minute tour of a special location for me and also managed to organise a last-minute car for me to Nanoya. All in all a luxury boutique experience!

Not a major critic but suggestions for improvement: only 1 of the jars in the bathroom had a contents label, so recommend labels are added to the other jars. I would also recommend letting female guests know there is a hairdryer available for use (as there is none permanently in the room). Finally, I would also recommend telling guests there is possibility for extra towels (as only 1 was in the room). :-)

Beautiful hotel situated overlooking all of Kandy. You get to watch the sun rise from bed and can enjoy the sunset on the rooftop terrace. The staff were so accommodating and helpful especially when we were having issues communicating with our Tuk tuk driver. There’s a restaurant on site which is perfect after a long day of touring. The hotel is far enough from the city where it’s calm and quiet but still accessible by tuk tuk just factor in some time if you are trying to get to the train station. The room was so well kept and clean. Breakfast was also amazing, super tasty and you have a choice of options you’d like. Cannot say enough great things about this hotel. I absolutely recommend staying in when you are in Kandy.

The hotel is beautifully situated on the hillside of Kandy with a marvellous view. Our room was very large, very clean and with the perfect view of Kandy. The staff are very friendly. Kogul in particular helped us with all our questions and organised the transport and an unforgettable Kandy day tour for us. He is a born host. The breakfast is highly recommended and we also had an excellent dinner. The best Hotel we had on our Sri Lanka round trip. Many Thanks to the staff of "The Summit" to make our stay in Kandy so special.

Having travelled extensively for some 40 years, I must say that this place is one of the best we have ever stayed in. Location was pristine, overlooking Kandy, away from the citys buzzing, noisy life. The service was top notch from the second we entered the gate. A heartfelt thank you to Pradeep and his team for making us feel like Queen and King! The kitchen is unbelievable. Two chefs with more than 50 years of experience between them prepare their own interpretation of local and international dishes at a level we have rarely enjoyed.

The was absolutely nothing we didn't enjoy.

Huge spacious rooms with gorgeous view of Kandy city. The rooms were clean and well maintained. We had a small balcony to enjoy our morning coffee and the views of the city. The staff was prompt, kind and attentive. The English breakfast was delicious and presented well. We even tried their club sandwich and it was delicious. Highly recommend this small boutique property to anyone visiting the Kandy area. .

It was about 20 mins from Kandy city but we had our own car so wasn't an issue. But you can easily get a PickMe ride or a tuktuk to reach Kandy. Plenty of options on PickMe for food delivery as well. The locker in our room was not working

Big room offers great view of the Kandy City with decent enough facilities and good breakfast. The staff was helpful and polite. As the name suggests it is on a hill so it is airy and well lit up.

The property is away from the kandy city and approach to the property is a narrow and steep road so unless you have your own small car or tuk tuk it will be difficult to get up here. Also, the overall cleanliness of the room was good but the linen provided had some stains on it. Moreover, I did not find it to be Value for Money maybe because we stayed in peak season during christmas and paid around 100$ for a night.
