Lovely location but meals and drinks very expensive and the restaurant menu was far too limited. Disappointed that our room did not have tea/coffee making facilities or a loo roll holder. The staff were always most helpful and the overall ambience is memorable.

An absolutely lovely hotel packed with old world charm. In the colonial style and old but every comfort and care taken. Staff and restaurant marvellous. The room and bed were comfortable the gardens and pool charming. So peaceful and carefully managed. Absolutely loved the Kandy house.

Very attractive colonial-era house, airy and charmingly furnished, with an open atrium in the middle. Large and comfortable room, excellent dinners and breakfasts. Staff extremely obliging and helpful. We were allocated one member of staff to look after us particularly. Very nice garden for pre-dinner drinks and a little further down, a large pool and loungers, mostly shaded by trees.

On the outskirts of this crowded hectic city, Kandy House is a small boutique hotel that caters to guests with warmth, kindness, and an extraordinary level of service. From the moment we arrived – and even after we had left, we felt pampered and cared for by our wonderful personnel butler Chamee as well as the hotel’s experienced and charming manager. Our trip was last minute and the only room available for our dates turned out to be the hotel’s largest suite - Red Spot– named after a butterfly so we had no idea when we reserved that this meant our room included a huge wrap around terrace for our exlusive use – complete with couch, enormous floor space and a dining table which Chamee set up for private candlelit dinners overlooking a garden. Need a yoga mat? No problem. Drinks on the terrace at sunset? Of course. With the expert advice of the hotel’s manager, we hired an excellent tuk tuk driver to drive us to the Temple of the Tooth about 20 minutes away. The driver protected us from the touts and made sure we did not get lost. The hotel’s manager also helped us hire the perfect driver to take us on our long drive from Polannawaru to Kandy. We liked the driver so much, we hired him to stay with us for the rest of our trip! Kandy House is not inexpensive. But for the attention, care, wisdom, and service it offers, it is worth every penny – particularly if Chamee takes care of you.

This is a peaceful colonial house away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy. The rooms are spacious and you have a veranda for each room to relax on. You have your own butler (very pleasant) who was sometimes a little too attentive for our liking. We were also surprised that other than the shampoo/shower gel in the bathroom we didn’t have any of the usual sundries like shower cap etc. We were there in a torrential downpour which lasted most of the late afternoon and evening. The roof over our son’s bed leaked quite badly and they had to move the bed to prevent it totally saturating the it. Another room had 6 different leaks and that couple eventually were given another room. We felt they didn’t handle our situation particularly well. It took a while for them to check the room and maybe we should have been offered another room given the leak. The place wasn’t full. The food is delicious and it’s served outside on the covered veranda in a pleasant environment. Because of the rain we had to have drinks inside which again is in a lovely setting. We did think the food was slightly more expensive here than other places we stayed in. The deep swimming pool is set in the gardens overlooking a paddy field and has in beautiful views. However although the water seemed clean, the bottom of the pool did look dirty. Also, beware, because it had rained there were leeches in the grass and my son had one attach on his hand and we found others on our feet. We did enjoy our stay but compared to the rest of our hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka we felt It just seemed a bit tired.

Great hotel in a historic colonial villa. The property itself is very beautiful and the staff was amazing. Pradeep, our butler, treated us very well, and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend as it is also a short distance from Kandy.

Wonderful to be back at The Kandy House! Blessed with the upgrade 🙏 Slept so beautifully with the peace, perfection, excellent food and drinks. Love the way the gardens are lusher than the botanic gardens and the pool so refreshing!✨❤️🙏

This hotel was one of our favourites on our tour of Sri Lanka, we stayed for 2 nights. The room was beautiful with its own veranda we ate breakfast on. The four poster bed in the colonial setting was such a nice environment and were the gardens and pool. Huge fruit bats fly around the garden as you have a drink and it’s all so lovely. We do have one criticism and that is the surprise of the bill at the end. We booked Bed and Breakfast and took advantage of the set dinner menu, with drinks on top of that and then extras the bill was the same cost as one night B&B. When we looked closer at the bill it turned out what we thought were complimentary items (for example cashew nuts in a bowl that came with drinks) were in fact $8, they were brought to us with drinks and without asking so we assumed like with most places they were complimentary and when asked if we wanted some more said yes…there is nowhere it states a price for them and the staff didn’t mention a cost so $16 for nuts was frankly a shock! It’s a beautiful place to stay, just be careful what you agree to!

A fabulous oasis of calm close to Kandy. The old manor house is tucked away, surrounded by nature and gardens teeming with wildlife. The food was amazing and the service perfect. Thank you so much to Samira who looked after us for our stay.. We did not want to leave!
