The Grand Walawwa

It's a very cozy banglow up the hills along the main road, convenient yet quite. the staff there is also welcoming to the guests. The restaurant manager who work in Heritance Kandalama before is so kind to refer us to his former friends in Kandalama when he knew our next destination is there. The hotel manager also gave us a tour about the hotel, telling interesting history and story of this facility, making this stay more delightful.

山上的老建築，很安靜，老派西式風格。房間層高挑高超4米，舊式傢俱，設施現代。餐廳很漂亮，服務好，食物味道不錯。

A really old hotel but with modern helpful staff. Booked this at the very last minute and so pleased we did . There were wedding’s going on but the staff gave us attention to book us in . Interesting room with old boiler generator as a feature in it . Great bed, shower , facilities etc. nice pool area as well.

The food, fresh juices and services at Grand Walawwa in Kegalle are truly outstanding. My family and I were especially impressed by the frozen mango margarita. It’s the best mango juice we’ve ever tasted! We absolutely loved its rich flavor and refreshing taste. Highly recommend !!!

We booked to stay 3 nights here, but only stayed for one evening due to the fact they had back to back weddings booked for the duration of our stay. Both of our rooms backed onto the wedding venue with only one internal window between us and the main wedding reception. The music, which was really loud, finished at 11pm and the party wrapped up at around 11:30pm. The following morning staff started to set out for the next wedding at 7am with the clatter of trolleys, plates and voices at 7am which woke us up. The wedding procession came right past the doors of our rooms as we were leaving to check out and part of the wedding and the buffet for the wedding breakfast were by the pool/outside our room, meaning we couldn’t use this area/the pool. On a positive note, the staff were extremely helpful, especially the restaurant manager, and nothing was too much trouble. The food in the restaurant was very good. The rooms are very comfortable and large, and very clean. When we complained and checked out, they gave us a 10% discount without us asking. Any Brits beware - they don’t have a drinks licence. The hotel is small and I really would not recommend staying there is there is a wedding, as there is nowhere to go to get away from it.

Everything was top notch! We loved our stay at The Grand Walawwa. From the moment we got here we were amazed at how beautiful and peaceful this hotel was. The food was amazing, the rooms were great and bathrooms were the best bathrooms we have ever stayed at!
