Hotel near Kandy Central,Kandy
Kandy Mist by Cinnamon

"It's a bit far from the city center, and there aren't many dining options nearby. It's roughly on par with domestic hotels like Atour or Ji Hotel, so don't set your expectations too high. The breakfast has a decent selection, but it probably won't suit Chinese palates. For this area and standard, I guess it's acceptable."

"The hotel has a total of nine rooms, an English-style villa with a swimming pool. The food was quite good, and I especially appreciated the tea selection, the brand Peekoh Tea, which had a sweet aftertaste. The curry and rice for dinner were both delicious and beautifully presented. There was some noise from insects chirping at night and trains passing after 6 a.m., so there was some noise. For example, room #1 is right next to the restaurant corridor, so the soundproofing was average. At under 1,000 yuan per night, I think the value is much better than the Eleven Hotels in China. This villa is part of a chain with about nine locations. I hope their business continues to grow."

Hotel near Kandy Central,Kandy
Earls Regency

"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."

"The views are unbeatable: The lobby and pool face the Mahaweli River directly. Sitting by the river in the evening with a drink, watching the sunset, was absolutely the highlight of my entire Kandy trip. The pool is a definite plus: That infinity-edge pool stretching out to the river is incredibly photogenic, and the water is very clean, making for a wonderfully comfortable swim. Great dining: Both the breakfast and dinner buffets offered a wide variety of dishes, including local specialties and Western options. The freshly made omelets and Sri Lankan curries prepared by the chef were delicious. I even tried a local Sri Lankan delicacy, a fried egg 🍳, which was quite tasty."

"The whole family traveled and booked a suite. The room was large and clean. The first alcohol and drinks in the minibar were free. Thumbs up. The hotel has a super beautiful view. It is a little far from the center of Kandy, but it is very quiet. The lobby is beautiful outside. The swimming pool is not heated and a little cold. Breakfast is a la carte system with many choices. But there are some places that must be complained. First of all, the suite has a jacuzzi, but it was not filled with water in advance. It was very dirty inside and the water was very slow. It took an hour to clean up. My waist was about to break. The water was filled for two and a half hours. It was dark when the water was enough. There were mosquitoes everywhere. It was not used at all. Bad review. The second point is their dinner, which starts at 7 o'clock. We were the first table to order at 6:50 on the first day. It was already 8 o'clock when the food was served. It is not friendly to travel with young children. We decided to go out for dinner the next day, but someone called at 9 o'clock in the evening to ask if we would like to go to the restaurant for dinner, which directly woke up the children. . ."

The property does full justice to the $. The location, the chants from the Buddhist temple in the valley create the utmost serene atmosphere. Every amenity is top end and every detail looked after.

Cozy and very comfortable room with fantastic mountain view. It was so nice to have the pool right in front of our room. We could have a tea time with beautiful scenery at the terrace. Room was clean and equipped with necessities. The restaurant was also cozy and clean and food was so good. The staff at the restaurant was especially kind and professional. We will definitely come to this hotel again when we revisit Kandy. So much satisfied.

The villa-style hotel is located on the mountain. The room has its own swimming pool. The overall environment of the hotel is great! Especially the dinner in the restaurant is highly recommended, with 9 local Sri Lankan food, equipped with a dedicated chef and music performance, and the price is a little expensive.

The hotel group is small but has boutique hotels across Sri Lanka. This w15 is located near kandy. There is a shooting club next to it and tatata gunshots can be heard during the day. The hotel itself is not big, with one house and one main building. As for the scenery, looking at the mountains, it feels a bit like Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all good. In terms of activities, you can choose hiking, cycling, tennis or taking a jeep to climb high. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the hotel channels have different prices, so carefully compare the prices.

I booked two twin rooms on Trip.com . After arriving at the door, there will be a special person responsible for bringing the suitcase into the check-in hall and then sitting and waiting for the front desk to complete the procedures (with welcome drink orange juice). The room is fully equipped and the decoration is simple and hygienic. There is a large stain on the sheets of the bed. It is recommended to travel or prepare disposable sheets. The hotel also has a swimming pool. The swimming pool is relatively clean. The scenery is very good. The sound insulation effect is good. I recommend everyone to try it.

I absolutely loved this hotel! The location was great, and the views were nice. I only wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the peaceful atmosphere. My room was cozy and relaxing, and I especially loved the bathtub which was perfect for unwinding after a long day. The infinity pool was another highlight with gorgeous ocean views, though it was a bit on the cool side. I do wish it had been heated, but it was still a beautiful spot to relax. Room service was great too! Good selection and reasonably priced for a hotel. Cons: On my last day, I treated myself to a 90-minute aromatherapy massage at the spa. Unfortunately, I’d rate the spa a 5/10. Living in Thailand has definitely spoiled me with incredible massages, so I admit my standards are high! Still, I think the spa could use a bit of a refresh. The rooms smelled a bit old and weren’t very visually appealing. It was also quite cold during the body scrub and massage, which made it hard to fully relax. Breakfast was okay, but I wish there were more Western-style options available. Overall, I’d definitely stay here again. Everything about the hotel itself was lovely, I’d just skip the spa next time!

Absolutely stunning, giant compound with an extensive history! They even offer a history walking tour but unfortunately there weren’t enough people signed up to make the tour happen. If you’re looking for a “colonial” stay, this is a great place. I recommend just walking around to see it for yourself. It’s also right on Kandy Lake, so it’s a nice walk (and not too far from the Kandyan Culture Center and the Sacred Tooth Temple Meals were good, but service sometimes is a little messy. Buffet was missing things like tongs or a cloth over the tray handles (which were hot to touch), but there’s a lot of servers walking around so I’m sure they’ll be able to do double-checks on this

First of all, breakfast comes with curry or toast fruit bread. The location is quite far from Lake Candy, so it's uncomfortable, but it's good to feel the local culture. The facilities are good because the gym and swimming pool are well maintained. In particular, there were few people using the swimming pool and gym, so I wanted to do it alone. The staff were all friendly and it was so nice, but when the two Chinese came to sightseeing as a group and stayed, it was too noisy and annoying. The biggest advantage of this dormitory is that Muslims or Sri Lankans often get married here, so if you're lucky, you can see them getting married. I was lucky to see Muslims and Sri Lankans getting married.

It's a little far from the city center, it's a little inconvenient to build roads next to it. It's about 3.3 kilometers to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, but the facilities are very good. The standard rooms we ordered gave the suites and triple rooms as well as the beautiful pool. The scenery is very good, the area is green, and the service is excellent. Such a hotel is recommended.
