"The hotel boasts a prime location in close proximity to the Maligawa and the lake. The accommodations are well-maintained and equipped with ample amenities for a comfortable stay. It's worth noting that the rates may be slightly higher compared to other lodging options in the area."

Thilanka Hotel Kandy

"View from the pool was breathtaking. Rooms were clean and big. Value for money was 👌. Service good. Dinner experience was good with the Calypso playing in the background. It was bit hard to reach for the hotel as the road was narrow near by hotel. But it was manageable. Food spread also very good"

Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts - Luxury in the Mist

"I am giving a good rating here, but also want to be very fair and objective. This hotel definitely does not deserve full points, but I was forced to leave a 5/5 review on Tripadvisor the day I checked out, which I had since deleted. While I understand that tourism is a big thing for Sri Lanka, this isn't the way to do business and it isn't fair if travellers get misinformed. Yes, the hotel is perched on a hill and is suitable for you if you prefer peace and quiet after a day in the city, but extended stays might get troublesome due to the winding, narrow hilly roads. There's an infinity pool with nature views but slippers are surely recommended because the changing room/bathroom is away from the pool. The room was also nice and comfy except that the air-con blew directly at the bed despite having adjusted the vane and fan speed. Definitely do not open the windows at night to prevent bugs from entering."

Hotel Casamara Hotels in Kandy

Hotel Casamara

"Ok 3 star. Location central with good site access. Rooms tired (numerous broken parts) but fine. Street facing rooms with balcony have a nice outlook. Pool looked good - but didn’t use. Breakfast ok, generous amounts though. Doing some front of house renos which should freshen that part up a bit. Most staff very nice, some questionable but that could be anything. Wouldn’t say stay, but wouldn’t say don’t."

Selene City Hotel ★★★
"The hotel was unremarkable overall. The location listed on both Airbnb and Google Maps was inaccurate, which made finding the place confusing when we arrived in Kandy. We thought that hotel is in the city center but was 5km away. The hotel itself is fine, but the room felt like a cheaply renovated space right next to a noisy road. On the positive side, the price was reasonable and the room was clean. Ultimately, my experience was forgettable—this is the kind of place I won’t remember minutes after leaving."

Earl's Regency Hotel ★★★★★
"A wonderful stay with absolutely breathtaking views. Wherever you look, you’re surrounded by rolling mountains, and the grounds are beautiful with lots of native wildlife; you really feel at one with nature. The service was exceptional throughout. All staff were attentive, kind, and genuinely eager to help. A special mention to the reception team, especially Jenovia, who was incredibly friendly and helpful, showing us around and making us feel very welcome from the start. The hotel is also very family-friendly, with a small play park and thoughtful touches like towel animals from housekeeping (Ravi) that made our little girl’s day. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice, including both Western and Sri Lankan options. A few very small improvements (such as having bacon readily available, colder milk at breakfast, and ice with poolside drinks) would make the experience truly five-star, but these are minor details. Rooms were clean and comfortable with all amenities provided, and overall the level of service really stood out. If you’re looking for stunning views, a peaceful setting, and excellent hospitality, this is a fantastic choice and one I’d happily recommend."

"We want to say a huge thank you for the wonderful four-night stay. Chameera and Dilrukshi at reception, along with Isuru from housekeeping, were outstanding. The rooms were spotless, the food was fantastic, and when my girlfriend fell sick, you all went above and beyond to help. We are so grateful for your care and attention. Thank you so much!"
