Queen's Hotel Kandy - 160 Years of Heritage & Luxury ★★★★★

📍 DS Senanayake Veediya, Kandy

"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."

Taru Villas Kandy Hotels in Kandy

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 Hotels in Kandy

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 Hotels in Kandy

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 Hotels in Kandy

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."

Thilanka Hotel Kandy Hotels in Kandy

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 Hotels in Kandy

"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.

Skyloft Kandy by Aaradhya Hotels in Kandy

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 Hotels in Kandy

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"

"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…)"

"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!

Would 100% recommend staying here the staff are lovely, the rooms are well maintained and our overall stay was amazing!"

Cassendra Hotel Kandy ★★★★
"The hotel is located on a hill, which might have been a bit inconvenient in the past, but it offers excellent views overlooking Kandy. The rooms are well-equipped and clean, making it the best hotel I've stayed at on this trip. Plus, the price was quite reasonable, offering great value for money."

Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts - Luxury in the Mist ★★★★
"The hotel is on the mountain. It took 20 minutes to drive from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The road is narrow. The scenery exceeded expectations. You can enjoy the mountain view and the sunset on the balcony and in the swimming pool. The room felt a little damp, and the quilt was also a little damp, but the overall facilities were relatively new and clean."

"Overall, I liked everything except for one thing: the incredibly weak Wi-Fi. First, it constantly disconnected. Second, it was incredibly slow to load anything. It took almost an hour to download 500 MB… But other than that, it's a wonderful hotel."

"Nice location. Beautiful view. Great service as well. Staff is nice. Breakfast spread is good - although many items were very salty. Same for dinner buffet. One issue - no lift. So people who cant take stairs are unable to go to bar above or spa below."
