The host was the kindest and helpful person. The room is spacious and clean. The best part was the view. It has a top view of Kandy and is very lush. It was a calming stay, even though we were in a big city

Beautiful, clean, with good view

We stayed here for our first two nights upon arriving in Sri Lanka, and it turned out to be the perfect place to gently land and adjust. While the hotel is a little off the beaten path, that’s exactly what makes it so peaceful. It offered a quiet, clean, and calm refuge away from the noise and intensity of Kandy. The staff were warm and welcoming, and we felt genuinely cared for from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for a quiet stay near Kandy, with very clean rooms and kind hospitality, this place is a great choice.

Mainly, the outside view and the location are so calm and quiet, which gives you a very positive vibe.

It’s a little out of the way from town and wouldn’t be easy to walk to from town, but we had a pleasant walk down the roads to town.

It was spotless and they arranged a desk for me after picking us up so I could attend a work meeting . We enjoyed the welcome tea and cake too. They were very helpful, communicative and proactive. The food was extremely tasty too. The bathroom was really nicely done and clean and we had a nice hot water shower.

Nothing significant,we just wish we had time to visit the other property in Nuwara Eliya!

The view is beautiful and peaceful — perfect for a relaxing stay. It’s great value for the price. The host is kind, very helpful, and always available on WhatsApp for directions or any questions. He even owns a similar property in Nuwara Eliya, which we didn’t get to visit due to rain. The location is ideal — quiet on a hill with a lovely view, yet very close to the lake, temple, and local market. Only 300 LKR by tuk-tuk or 500 LKR by PickMe car.

'We really enjoyed our stay, Very modern building, nice view and calm location. The owner was very helpful and welcomed us with excellent hot tea an cake'' Top srilankan breakfast! Highly recommended.

It's a bit of a walk from the center, and the uphill climb on the way back can be a bit challenging.

Our room was amazing, with a stunning view over Kandy. Although it’s close to the city center, it truly feels like you’re living in the jungle, surrounded by jackfruit trees, playful monkeys, and the calming sounds of nature. At night, the soft songs of birds and the peaceful atmosphere helped us fall asleep with ease. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, they even picked us up and treated us to a lovely tea and an even better breakfast. The hotel is brand new, beautifully set in the mountains, and perfect for anyone looking to relax in the greenery and breathe in fresh, clean air. We totally recommend it!

A Truly Regal Experience! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Golden King Residence, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated with a perfect blend of modern comfort and elegant touches. I especially loved the attention to detail—everything from the plush bedding to the ambient lighting contributed to a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. Golden King Residence truly lives up to its name. Whether you're staying for a short trip or an extended period, it's a wonderful place to unwind and feel pampered. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return!

Nice view and good breakfast,

The only thing I didn't like is that when the wifi went out at night, I informed the owner and he never responded to me or acted on it - even the next day, he ignored the message. As a remote worker, that's a bummer. Still, he was a cool guy and it seemed like an oversight.

The place is super modern and comfortable. The young man managing it is very kind, so two thumbs up for him. The breakfast was tasty. The view is incredible. The owner was really chill and helpful when we met in person (he welcomed us on arrival). I recommend it.

Mold in the room

Modern rooms, friendly host, location is close to pokoe trail.

Just needed a bin for the room and maybe some bedside tables / lamps would have made it more cosy. And some paintings on the walls - It's quite minimalistic! Uday is a great artist, so some of his own work would be amazing up there!

Uday, the host, was absolutely lovely. Him and his family were all so sweet and welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. Uday also picked us up from the train station and waited about an hour for us as our train was late. The location was very quiet and the views from the property were breath-taking. I would strongly recommend booking a room with a mountain view, as the room we stayed in (standard double) is a little darker with only a view to a bit of jungle. A Tuk tuk will cost you about 400-500 rps to get into central Kandy from the property, however we usually walked into town and got a Tuk Tuk back (as there were pretty steep hills).

It was very high up , so tuk tuk are necessary. Shower temperature was overly hot, but it was rectified quickly.

The staff , and cleanliness and security of the property. Very spacious.

It was a nice property but little up from main city. You can get uber easily. It's a new property so it was super clean. Hope they always maintain it.

The breakfast was excellent and the host served very good quality estate leaf tea which we appreciated very much. The hotel is very accessible by taxi and three wheelers. The host and staff are friendly and very helpful. They don't have a restaurant but the host ordered us food on Pickme which was excellent. We also had a visit from a family of friendly and curious monkeys, up front and personal! We recommend this hotel for short and transit stays.

Nice, clean rooms with a great view. Close to centre via tuk tuk. Host was really kind and friendly, even gave us a lift into town. The price was incredibly reasonable so this was a real gem of a find.
