Coffee Bungalow Kandy

We left a piece of our hearts in Kandy, at the Coffee Bungalow to be precise. Although we stayed only for one night (too short!), we were pampered by the warmth of the owners Thusitha and Laleenie and their team. The arabica suite (each room is named after a coffee type) is as charming and unique as it can be a villa with a view on 3 Unesco heritage sites! By no means, the hosts offer an experience that you (surely we!) will remember forever! Giulia and Gabriele

We had the most wonderful stay at the Coffee Bungalow. The building, which has been beautifully restored and appointed, sits in arguably the best location above Kandy and the warm and elegant hospitality was memorable. We cannot recommend more highly! I was shocked to see a negative review in my name which most definitely did not come from me. Beware of hacks.

We recently stayed at the Coffee Bungalow in Kandy, Sri Lanka. A very colonial experience in good condition. The service was good and swimming pool a delight. We had dinner there one night, food was fine. We asked for wine list and were offered a white Argentinian wine they had nothing else. A drinkable house wine. I had a can of Lion beer On check out we were outraged. The can on Lion was charged @ US$ 12 crazy. the wine a whopping US$ 75. A top quality bottle of wine in top hotel in Sri Lanka would be no more than US$ 50. This bottle should have been tops US$ 25. The beer US$ 4. Then the card payment machine would not work with 3 cards tried. We finished paying in US$ cash. No option. This hotel, is a rip off on extras. I would Not recommend staying there. It reflects very badly on Sri Lanka. Our private tour guide was also appalled. He would be taking it up with his company. We had pre paid the accommodation, clearly not the extras, which were not priced on any documents before our purchase. We bought in good faith. Caveat Emptor . Buyer Beware… perhaps our own fault for trusting.

Beautiful colonial property, from the rooms to the décor, that transports you back in time. It is very clean, cozy and feels like home. The property rests on top of a hill that over overlooks Kandy and the view is stunning (especially from the infinity pool). Further, the attention to detail, hospitality and professionalism of the owner and staff made this stay even more delightful. Highly recommended to anyone traveling to Kandy looking for an unforgettable experience.

Outstanding service, made us feel very comfortable and at home. The owner and host was very gracious. Views from the property are worth a million. Highly recommend staying at Coffee Bungalow. It is a bit pricy but well worth it.

Our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers stayed at the Coffee Bungalow for 3 nights in late Dec ‘23. The Bungalow is nestled in the Kandy Hills with stunning views of the Knuckles Mountain Range, Kandy town, lake, and beyond. It sits above the hustle and bustle of the streets beneath in a serene spot with manicured gardens and a beautiful infinity pool. The rooms are opulently decorated, and also have sweeping views across the valley. We dined on the terrace each morning and evening and were also treated to a “High Coffee” experience on the pool deck one afternoon which included a variety of cakes and treats as well as coffee and tea. Staff are friendly and discreet so that you feel like you are in a home rather than a hotel. Highly recommend this place.
