The Radh Hotel

This hotel is less than 500m from the Temple of the Tooth, so you can walk out of the door and be in the middle of town. The staff were very welcoming, the room was fine. We needed to leave early and they organised a packed breakfast.

We loved the location of the hotel next to Sri Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Sacred Tooth) and the museums and temples located inside this same location. We went to a 5:30 AM. puja one morning and it literally took us five minutes to access the gate. The location is also adjacent to the lake, which has a lovely walk around it, and to an indoor mall that has a very good food court. The hotel is comfortable, and the staff are professional, friendly and helpful. It was a very comfortable place for us to spend several nights while we explored the city. The breakfasts are fabulous, so many items to choose from along with freshly cooked to order eggs and hoppers. We would absolutely stay here again when we visit next.

This was probably the best designed hotel room I have ever stayed in. Bedside switches for all lighting modes all clearly labled. Spacious room and bathroom. Good water pressure. Instant hot water. Ample vanity bench space. Comfortable bed. Air con controls beside the bed. Very comfortable chairs. (2 chairs, why do so many hotel rooms have only one???). Refrigerator that actually kept stuff cold. This room would have gotten 10, but for one minor problem. A curious sri lankan design flaw is common to a lot of rooms we stayed in. A 25 mm step at the bathroom door threshold, making a trip hazard resulting in several stubbed toes. The staff were great. The breakfast was good. The location was great. 😀

The RADH provided an excellent personal service during our stay. One of the managers, Dhanush, was a stand out. We needed to find a good location for a fine dining Sri Lankan dinner for some guests we were entertaining. There were few options nearby for this, so Dhanush organised a private dining room at the hotel and suggested a menu of local dishes for the dinner. An attentive dedicated waiter was also provided. The menu and the food were wonderful. The chefs, wait staff and Dhanush did an excellent job that evening; everyone was very impressed.

Incredible location very close to the Temple of the Tooth so easy to visit before the crowds descend. Loved that there was a free minibar stocked with chocolate, soft drinks and flavoured milk cartons, and they even brought extra chocolates round in the evening! Very luxurious feel to the property and quiet despite central location. We got a good booking deal so was excellent value.
