Queen's Hotel Kandy - 160 Years of Heritage & Luxury ★★★★★
"The hotel itself is very centrally located. The building exudes a historic charm that makes it special. The only downside: the bathrooms are in need of renovation. But the best thing is the staff. Everyone is very attentive. We had forgotten our passports in the hotel safe and were quite distressed. We contacted the hotel, and Kuma helped us immediately. He looked at the documents right away and offered to take everything to our next accommodation by taxi. The whole process was very professional. He even made a list of all the forgotten items and stayed in touch with us until we had everything back. We would like to thank Kuma again most sincerely."
Selene City Hotel ★★★
"Room has a lots of ant for me and my friend. By the way, the wifi connection is bad. I need to improve next time"
The Grand Kandyan ★★★★★
"This hotel would have been magnificent when first built. It still is very impressive but starting to show signs of wear. The service is definitely 5 stars and the food and drinks were great. A big shout out to Dhonmasiri (apologies if name is not spelt correctly) in the Sky bar. He was run off his feet but managed to serve our group and others with excellent service and a smile."
Sevana City Hotel ★★★
"Great location, close to the tourist center. Friendly staff, clean room. A decent option for a day or two."
Amaya Hills Kandy ★★★★★
"Good price good service.. food 100% They creat our honeymoon room for free and delicious cake… thankyou soo much"
Earl's Regency Hotel ★★★★★
"We had a great experience staying at Earl Regency, thanks to the excellent staff."
Cassendra Hotel Kandy ★★★★
"Warm hospitality: special thanks to Mr Imantha, Mr Isuru and Mr Pathum, good food. Recommended to stay here if you visit Kandy."
Atelier Kandy - Boutique Art Hotel & Gallery ★★★
"We come here regularly for the monthly karaoke nights, which are always a ton of fun - or to spend some time in the tranquil courtyard. An absolutely lovely place. Highly recommended if you're looking for a respite away from the busy-ness of Kandy without traveling far into the hills!"
The Blue Pillars Kandy ★★★
"It was an amazing experience! The staff was really good and accommodating. The conditions of the rooms were pretty amazing! The view was really beautiful. Excellent hotel nestled in peaceful surroundings! Overall it was an enjoyable stay."

The Golden Crown Hotel
"I think it was good. It's such an amazing experience."
Kandy Myst by Cinnamon
"The hotel is exceptionally clean, and the room size is suitable for three guests. The overall atmosphere is very pleasant, with a welcoming ambiance throughout the property. The staff are friendly, professional, and highly attentive. The rooftop pool offers a wonderful setting with a great view, and the food is excellent—particularly the dinner served at the rooftop restaurant. Overall, the hotel offers very good value for money considering the quality of service and facilities."
Radisson Hotel Kandy
"Overall, the hotel is quite decent: the staff is always ready to help, and the restaurant and bar offer delicious food (a varied selection at the buffet). The interior is a bit dated, but it's not a dealbreaker (the bedding and towels are clean). For its price, it's an excellent option."
Taru Villas Kandy
"As soon as you enter the door, it feels like you have entered another world. The biggest feature of the hotel is that the dinner is so delicious. The cooking skills and taste are comparable to those of a five-star chef. Anyway, I like it 😘"
Swiss Residence Kandy
"Absolutely one of the worst experiences we have ever had at a wedding venue. We attended a family wedding at Suisse Residence expecting a properly organized and professional event, but the entire function was a complete mess from beginning to end. Lunch was delayed for a long time, guests were left waiting without any proper communication, and the service was shockingly poor. The staff appeared totally untrained and disorganized. We had to repeatedly ask five or six times even for a simple glass of water. Used plates remained on the tables for a long time with nobody bothering to clear them. When guests asked for hand washing arrangements, the response was simply to point towards the washrooms. That clearly showed the level of care and hospitality provided. A wedding is a once in a lifetime occasion for families, and sadly the poor management and terrible service at this venue ruined the experience for many guests. It was embarrassing, frustrating, and extremely disappointing. Based on this experience, I would never visit Suisse Residence again and certainly would not recommend it to anyone looking for a quality event venue."
Skyloft Kandy by Aaradhya
"This was our second visit to Skyloft Kandy, and this time we had the pleasure of bringing our parents along. Just like our first stay, we had a wonderful experience. The hotel offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The views are absolutely beautiful, and the serene surroundings make the stay even more enjoyable. A great choice for anyone looking for a quiet getaway in Kandy. We look forward to visiting again!"
Villa Forest View
"It was a delightful stay at the Forest View Villa. The food was delicious, especially the rolled pancakes for breakfast and the view amazing. We highly recommend this place. As the train connection between Kandy and Ella is not yet (end of February 2026) working, due to the devastating cyclon in December 25, you might want to consider asking your host to drive you. It might be less stressful than changing busses 3 times."
Orbit88 Hotel by AMR
"A Beautiful property situted about 10 minutes to kandy city.Everything exceed our expectations,from the check in to check out.The staff was friendly and I want to specially thanks to Mr.Jayanethi the manager of orbit 88. The room was big with modern amenities. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who visit to kandy."
Cinnamon Citadel Kandy
"I had to ask someone to guide me to my room. Many cigarettes butts in the balcony when I check in."
The Trees, Kandy
"Very clean and in a great location, it's very convenient to walk around. They even give you the national flower of Sri Lanka, lotus, when you check in!"
Oak Ray Regency
"Everything is perfect All staff are so freindly and do their best Only problem is in rainy days we hav not hot water for bath"
Villa Avora Ridge
"Great location, incredibly beautiful views of the lake and city. We were provided with a hairdryer upon request for a fee. Everything was great, the only downside was the one outlet, and it didn't work well. Otherwise, everything was great! I recommend it!"
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."
Kandy Victoria Eco Resort
"I was very upset my stay had to be pulled out after 2 days for only reason that the accommodation was not safe to reach from kany or outside , firstly the road was steep and the tuk tuk abd small cars struggled to climb safely, the route which Google directed was not straight forward, we almost got killed in a tuk tuk way up and thus scared us abd we pulled off, never safe to go late night after 6pm. The food abd the views were amazing no questions about the service etc but thus all overrules from safety aspect, the accommodation should clearly mention that in there advertisement saying its only suitable for ppl who like adventures and take risk hiking, not advisable for stays for family with young children or old ppl. There was a couple from Oz befire us they got terrified and canceled the stay and complained and left immediately but the manager would not appreciate how dangerous and terrifying it would be for ppl reaching the place remotely. I wouldn't advise this place purely because of safety accesing it. I will attach some pictures to give you more understanding. I had to report to trip. Com to get back my booking charges and book an other safe hotel. This ended up disaster but I'm glad I retired back on one peice. The only access road to this property is extremely steep and currently affected by damage from flooding. Even local drivers have advised that it is unsafe to use. This creates a serious risk of being stranded or injured and makes it unsafe to continue staying at this property. The hotel’s refusal does not override Trip.com’s duty of care to guests. Continuing to house guests where access is affected by landslides and flooding is unsafe. Please escalate this as a safety and misrepresentation case immediately . This situation constitutes a material misrepresentation of the accommodation. Trip.com’s platform standards require accurate property descriptions and reasonable usability. The unsafe access road was not disclosed at the time of booking, despite being a known and ongoing issue, as evidenced by a public review dated 26 January 2026 confirming that another couple also left early for the same reason. As the property cannot be safely accessed, the accommodation is unfit for purpose and cannot be used as booked. Under Trip.com’s service standards and applicable consumer protection principles, this warrants an immediate full refund."
RedHill Kandy
"Nice little hotel, with only some rooms and as the name says in the hills. Room is good and clean with interesting bathroom 😊 . Mostly important, fabulous views from the balcony, fantastic nature, good breakfast and very polite service. Lovely stay."
