Swiss Residence Kandy

"Stayed in room 308 and terrible smell from the shower, damp, mould, drains not sure. Hotel overall feels claustrophobia. There is a lift but it only serves some floors starting on the second floor and only going to the fourth not 5th so this hotel is not suitable for anyone who doesn’t like a lot of stairs. Add to the fact the intermittent power cuts and taking the lift is a bit of a lucky draw. The hotel also ran out of beer after our group of 10 drank 8 bottles of lion beer between us. Before we left there were staff in the lobby trying to make us log on to TripAdvisor to give a review and name drop them. I compare this hotel to the other hotels of similar price that I have stayed in and this one was very disappointing."

Lake Villas Premium Kandy

"It's incredibly cost-effective; a villa for one person costs less than 500 RMB. Plus, two butlers prepare breakfast for you every morning – it's a truly luxurious experience."

Skyloft Kandy by Aaradhya

"A good hotel with amazing views from the restaurant, your room, and the pool. The food was mediocre, but the burger was superb. I wouldn't particularly recommend or advise against this hotel."

Golden Sky Hotel & Wellness

"Great food, clean rooms, and a very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend it and would certainly revisit again!!!"

Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts - Luxury in the Mist

"What's good: The hotel is secluded, beautifully maintained grounds, a wonderful view from the top, plenty of aesthetically pleasing photo spots, and a relatively well-appointed room. What's bad: Since the hotel is located at an altitude, unfortunately, we didn't get to experience the joys of the pool (after being caught in the eye of a cyclone on the way, we would have been happy to swim and warm up in the warm water, but the water in the pool was cold; this is a major drawback given that swimming is one of the main activities/entertainments on the property). The hotel restaurant could use some training for its chefs: when you're hungry, as we were, of course, any food seems delicious, but ours, alas, was not. Our selection wasn't particularly sophisticated, but rather poorly prepared: Mushroom cappuccino, garlic prawns, chicken biriyani, two lion beers. The mushroom soup was bland, with no hint of mushrooms, the shrimp were severely overcooked, and I practically cried when I ate the chicken, even though I asked the waiter "no spicy, please." Not only was the chicken so dry it tasted more like snakeskin, but the spices burned my mouth. Perhaps we were just "lucky" with the food, but unfortunately, dinner for less than 11,000 Sri Lankan rupees wasn't impressive. Breakfast, however, was decent (omelet, beans, some meat, grilled vegetables, fruit, pastries, fruit shake, water). The staff was polite, and everyone tried their best, both at the hotel and in the restaurant. Yes, the road to the hotel isn't for the faint of heart: the road is poorly paved in places, and there's a steep switchback uphill. But if you're a seasoned hiker and even a season-long biker like us, the road to the hotel won't be too daunting. Recommendations for the hotel: We were missing a clothes dryer. For those who use the pool or get caught in heavy rain, this is a necessary item. Please provide a replacement."

"The hotel's name says it all — the panoramic view over Kandy city and the lake is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The infinity pool feels like you are floating above the clouds. Rooms were spotless, modern, and very comfortable. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful with arranging our tuk-tuk driver for the evening. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. A true gem in the hills!"

Hasthi Boutique Hotel

"Stayed two nights when we explored Kandy. This hotel is new, with wonderful rooms and a pool. Managed and owned by a nice family. The breakfasts were superb. One of the mighty were tempted to eat dinner too, we did not regret that. Highly recommended."

Blissful Ridge Bungalow Kandy

"The room has been newly renovated and is very nice. We stayed on the second floor and since there were no other bookings at the time, we had the entire floor to ourselves. There's a large living room and a spacious balcony on the second floor. The surroundings of the house are also very pleasant. The owner seems honest and good-natured. Safety during the stay is not a concern. The only drawback might be that the room is in a village on the mountain, not in the bustling city center, but you can use Uber to get around."

Kings Ridge Kandy

"We stayed at a pleasant hotel situated on a hill. The rooms were spacious, equipped with air conditioning and a fan. Unfortunately, the refrigerator was unusable as it was not working and contained an old banana. The waiter in the restaurant was trying his best to provide good service. There was a warning about not opening the windows due to monkeys roaming around the balconies and the hotel vicinity, so guests need to be cautious."

Villa Forest View

"A lovely family as a owner, kindness and help spread. They can arrange lots of service, like tuktuk tour or taxi. It’s possible do an authentic kandyan cooking class. Peaceful place into nature, far from city caos, close 4minutes by tuktuk ride to center. Spacius and clean room. Strongely recommended."
