Cassendra Hotel Kandy ★★★★
"Suuuper nice stay! 100% recommended. Dilrukshi and Kaushalya are so kind!!"
Kandy Myst by Cinnamon ★★★★★
"Good hotel"
Queen's Hotel Kandy - 160 Years of Heritage & Luxury ★★★★★
"The entrance to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is right there. It's a wonderful, long-established hotel. Both dinner and breakfast are buffets with a wide variety of food. The vintage elevator was also a nice experience. It seems I was given a room facing the pool. I didn't swim, but it was relaxing and pleasant. There was also a bar."
Earl's Regency Hotel ★★★★★
"Very big and weird hotel. Long walks from one point to another. It is not good for short one night stay purposes."
Devon Rest ★★★★
"It was comfortable and nice stay:) thank you"
Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts - Luxury in the Mist ★★★★
"Very delicious food and great location"
Radisson Hotel Kandy ★★★★★
"Room was well decorated but the toilet was not well maintained. After one shower, hair got stuck at the drain and the water was stagnating at the base of the shower even after the whole night. The view from the room was spectacular but I wouldn’t come back"
The White House Villa — Aniwatta ★★★★
Selene City Hotel ★★★
"Welcoming place, polite staff, located in a safe area but a little far from the center, 7-800 rupees by tuk tuk on the road, 300 by Uber. Cold shower, too bad."

Taru Villas Kandy
"Very nice stay. Staff were great. Breakfast and dinner included, which I enjoyed. I think this is worth it if you can get a deal via one of the booking sites, it's quite pricey compared to other more conveniently situated properties in Kandy. It's a very unique boutique hotel, beautiful and comfortable with great service. The only gripe I would have is the shower...it's a small hot water tank, so you can have a max 10 minute shower before the water runs cold. You then have to wait 10mins before the water heater heats the water back up. Other reviews complain about the noise from the road and rail track, but we didn't hear a single train during our 2 night stay and the road didn't bother us at all."
The Elephant Stables
"We had a lovely stay at this hotel and felt very at home the moment we arrived. The management team and staff are very welcoming and have impeccable service. They were very helpful, including with local tips. We loved being able to stay at a boutique sized property. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The food is also great. Highly recommended and we will be back!"
Kings Pavilion Luxury Hotel
"Wow! We are an extremely difficult couple to impress (from the UK and we critique for a living!) and Kings Pavillion saved our opinion of Sri Lanka as a whole. We got a free room upgrade, a welcome cake and drink that was great quality. Be prepared to pay for what you get, food prices maybe slightly higher than surrounding areas but guess what, you get value for money. The staff couldn’t do more for you if they tried. The rooms are spotlessly clean. Our whole experience was a tranquil slice of the best Sri Lanka has to offer. They even gave us a complementary Sri Lankan dinner on our second evening and there was so much incredible food that we were unable to eat it all between us. Ignore any negative reviews (yes, I checked them before arriving and they worried me!) you will be treated like royalty the whole time. Thank you so much Kings Pavaillion, you have benchmarked what “outstanding” means."
The Grand Kandyan
"We all had a fantastic stay together at the Grand Kandyan,Kandy. The ambience was wonderful, relaxing and the food was yummy and delicious. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and went out of the way to make our stay comfortable by all means. Ms.Wathsala mede us feel so elated by upgrading all our rooms. Another night time staff obliged us to help us drape our saree in Srilankan way. I wish to share the picture with her.On the whole we all had a special and very memorable stay."
Sevana City Hotel
"It's within walking distance of most of Kandy's tourist attractions. Supermarkets and such were a bit far away, though. There weren't any amenities, but there was hot water, so I had no complaints."
The Radh Hotel
"Although it was a bit pricey, the location, service, and cleanliness were all perfect! It was convenient as the Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake, and the market were all within walking distance!"
Thilanka Hotel Kandy
"One of the best hotels we’ve spent a vacation in. We luckily caught a half-board discounted offer. The buffet spread, the vibe and the music was amazing. Rooms were top quality. All amenities were available. The antique authentic style decor was beautiful! The service staff is super helpful and kind. We brought in a visitor to have some breakfast at the buffet and they even gave us a discount. The pool area, the view from the hotel and the space itself was top notch. Absolutely loved the experience."
Mahaweli Reach Hotel
"My husband and I visited Kandy and had the wonderful opportunity to stay at the Mahaweli Reach Hotel. ❤️ The hotel is absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful natural surroundings. It was clean, peaceful, and very relaxing. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The beautifully arranged bed was such a lovely surprise when we entered the room. ❤️ A special thank you to Sadun, Shamal, and Raj for creating the beautiful towel figures. ❤️ It was such a thoughtful and lovely touch. The staff were very attentive, friendly, and welcoming. A special thank you to Januth, who was very helpful and attentive to us at the restaurant. We really appreciated his kindness and excellent service. ❤️ We also enjoyed the fantastic buffet, which offered a wide selection of delicious food We had a wonderful stay and would definitely love to come back again. ❤️"
Golden Sky Hotel & Wellness
"I have been traveling a lot, but this trip was the best trip ever..the view from this place is honestly amazing..the hotel owner Kumudika is very very friendly and helpful also Gaamini is very helpful and friendly he is always ready to help..thank you so much both of you..will definitely back here.."
Kings Ridge Kandy
"Hotels are more retro.The sound insulation of the room is very bad, and voices can often be heard from upstairs.I slept badly in this hotel.The receptionist has a good attitude, but her business ability seems to be poor. She always needs to ask the manager. However, this hotel has a good view.You can see the beautiful scenery of Kandy directly from the hotel.There are many wild animals around here, and people live in harmony with nature.The waiters and the manager are very nice people.They can always help me.I thank them very much."
Lake Avenue Hotel Kandy
"The room was very clean. Since we booked a suite as a family, we basically had the entire floor to ourselves. The service was excellent; they provided a detailed introduction to each floor and its different areas."
Skyloft Kandy by Aaradhya
"It is a beautiful hotel with a beautiful view. However, walls are thin and you can heard a lot of noise. It is not easy to get there because it is located almost in the top of the mountain. Another good thing is that the restaurant closes at 10pm and food is good and cheap. We didn’t find the swimming pool since we stayed just one night. It was a nice stay by the way and breakfast was good. PD: We booked double room that it is supposed to have a king/queen bed but it was two individual beds put together."
The Theva Residency
"Overall an excellent hotel with excellent service. We had a room which ended up having a small leak in the wall and they gave us an upgrade to a better room with a jacuzzi which was very nice but honestly the other room was nice as well. As it’s ultra low season there was never many people in the hotel so the staff couldn’t be more helpful Things to be aware of It’s quite a way up the hill from town you can walk down in 40 mins if you don’t get lost but it would be quite a slog up . I got a tuk tuk up for 700 Rupees which is just over 2 dollars. Ok what about the food ? …,overall excellent. Wonderful breakfasts dreamy dinner love the possibly too small portions of meatballs with so many flavour profiles and the black pork curry was fantastic maybe could have been a bit more spicy but I guess they are catering for a very international audience. If anything wasn’t quite as you wanted it you they did this best to change it. They could have mean more generous with the free water in the room rather than 2 tiny bottles ( but when asked they always provided them free of charge . The mats for the sun beds need to be replaced as they slip off all the time as all the straps are broken These though are very very minor points So would I stay here again definitely and for what I paid due to the season excellent value. Food is a real positive. Definitely high end Asian fusion The range of juices all freshly made are all excellent. Great hotel glad we decided to stay there and will certainly come back next time I’m in Kandy. The Staff make it. One final point up so high on the hill the air is much much cleaner , there is a lovely breeze and it’s much calmer than down in the town. For an extended stay this for me is the only location I would stay in"
Serene Kandy
"Located on a hill with a beautiful view over Kandy lake, 5-10mim max by walk to the lake, room clean and spacious, gym needs an upgrade though (only two treadmills and 1-2kg weights…)"
Cafe Aroma Inn
"This hotel is lovely, the room is comfy, cozy and perfect for us! The bathroom was the perfect size, access to warm water and toiletries which was perfect for us being close to the end of over trip! We ate at the cafe underneath the hotel and the food was lovely, we were recommended the chicken kottu and the chicken fried rice and it was lovely! Would 100% recommend staying here the staff are lovely, the rooms are well maintained and our overall stay was amazing!"
