The bed was comfy. The view was amazing. The staff were very friendly. The location is very close to downtown but up a hill so very very quiet. The food is good, EXCEPT the mutton biryani. Don't order the Mutton Biryani it was just tough fatty meat that you couldn't chew unless you want to feel like you're chewing on an old piece of gum.

The hotel made a good deal first: the hotel's scenery is unparalleled, and you can overlook Kandy from the roof (Pictures 1 & 2); the breakfast is also pretty good, one set per person, I chose Sri Lanka (Picture 3) Next, there is a very serious problem: First of all, when making a reservation, please read clearly that "accommodating 1 person". If there is a second person after arriving at the hotel, 20USD will be charged. Secondly, the reception in the lobby was not very friendly to Chinese people. He walked up to us with a smile and asked, "Are you Japanese?" We said, "No, we are Chinese." Then he turned around and left... Furthermore, the room is not very clean, look at the sheets in picture 4 Most importantly, if you are sensitive to musty smells, don’t order! ! ! The room smelled musty as soon as it was opened, as you can tell by looking at the sofa in Figure 5 below; after reporting it to the front desk, their solution was to spray air freshener...

The hotel is clean and not bad. You need to prepare your own slippers and toothbrush and toothpaste. The service is also good.

Excellent location and views. Warm welcome and reception. Very pleasant lobby with plenty of luxurious sitting areas. Check-in was swiftly done while sitting on the comfortable chair having the welcome fresh juice and then tea. The room is very spacious, and I guess it was an upgrade as it was very big with two sitting areas and even a dining table. Comfort room is well equipped for handicapped. View from the room , roof, or restaurant were awesome. Plenty TV channels in all languages. All essential room amenities are available. Breakfast and dinner were buffet that satisfy all tastes. The dynamic director; Mr Hilary, is continuously roaming around and appears from everywhere ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of all guests. I can't thank him enough for all the help he offered during my stay. Really, I would have loved to extend my stay in the hotel longer. And, it really made competition and comparison with other hotels difficult because of the very high standards offered. We had the chance to see several weddings during our stay . Check out was easy, and luckily, the bell boy found forgotten items which he brought to our car. Definitely, that memory will last long time . I wish I could be able to come back and just spend my vacation in the hotel.

This is our favourite hotel in the world. We are escaping cold weather in Geneva Switzerland and spending three months here. We enjoy the gym and the pool every day. Plus the food is excellent, the staff are friendly and efficient and we are very comfortable. Clint in room service is a wonderful guy, Hilary is a great guy as are all of the fellows at the gym and pool. Sumith makes a new animal with only two towels every day. I am adding a few photos with him and today he made a turtle.

Our two weeks in the hotel gave us a once in a life time experience. From the first till the last day we felt at home at the same time as we enjoyed royal treatment by the staff in the reception, kind and special service for my little daughter in the excellent restaurant by the kitchen staff, including the executive chef and the sous chef as well as the restaurant manager. The house keeping was on a unique level, making us happy and surprised by the artistic decorations every day, which we have never experienced before. We are already planning our next visit to Sri Lanka, where The Grand Kandyan Hotel will be our lovely home.

Had a spectacular day at the Grand Kandyan - so had to write in. It was my dad’s 90th Birthday and I had arranged for a small family luncheon. Thanks to Hilary Smith - we had an amazing time - he saw to every detail from food to service, we felt like special and honoured guests. Hotels are more than bricks and mortar - they are about the people who work there. The staff at this hotel are authentic, helpful and go the extra mile. From Mr. Smith to the gym employees - Mr. Piyalal, Ramanayaka and the new gentleman - we use the gym and pool facilities whenever we are in Kandy. We basically are there every morning for a month. It’s a gorgeous pool with a nearly empty gym. So what would make this place even better? Better accessibility - a ramp at the entrance, plus lockers in the women’s washrooms - don’t understand why men have lockers and not the women. I have to lug my stuff with me whenever I use the gym/pool. While the men have lockers - the locks have been removed. Why??? But all in all, a delightful place with great staff.
