Sharon Inn

I don’t know who writes all of these favorable reviews. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere, you cannot see the lake from the room. The facilities inside the room all look dated and in a horrible condition. I had to put the bedroom table against the balcony door to keep monkeys from opening it while I was away. Wifi does not reach the top floors and even when you can connect at reception it doesn’t really work. They don’t accept card payment and that is a huge issue, considering how much they try to overcharge you for everything. Breakfast is very simple yet they expect you to pay 1500 rupees?! Dinner, as much as other’s praise it, is your typical curry display, and I had to ask for the chicken because they would only serve vegetables. And that was almost 4000 rupees!! I have had more varied and delicious (and cheaper) curry sets in the middle of the jungle. The worst thing is that they don’t tell you how much it is until you already have to set the bill for your whole stay. The owner was barely present and would only show up for dinner time. And he is the only one who speaks any English. Please, avoid this, it is better to find somewhere cheap near the lake, this hotel should not be listed anywhere decent.

Good service with smile. Located on the hill. Staffs are nice.

We actually love the view which is the top of the mountain where we can Kandy. Decent room with the best view (Room number 9) with 3 windows and balcony has the best view in Kandy. The service is excellent specially the welcome tea we got with ginger and other species. The owner is very welcoming and has a beautiful voice when he plays guitar 🎸 after dinner. Tbe quality of food is super yummy and authentic too. Highly recommend!

What an experience! Amazing food (mostly vegetarian) and a homey atmosphere. As expected from what we’d read about the place, we were treated to some guitar music while we drank a ginger tea. If you’re a person who likes to rush, this is not the place for you ☺️ very mellow and slow, but worth the time spent.

The food was exquisite, as was the company. 14 different types of curry on one plate? Sign me up. All family made and feels truly authentic. Sri Lanka may be a foreign land to us but the Sharon Inn makes you feel right at home. 10/10 would ride again.
