Queen's Hotel Kandy - 160 Years of Heritage & Luxury

📍 DS Senanayake Veediya, Kandy
★★★★★ 8.8 (76 reviews)

"Right in the city center across The Temple of Tooth Relic and the lake. A very historic hotel with a beautiful interior. So glad finally can try the classic lift. Love it"

Selene City Hotel

Selene City Hotel

📍 344 Katugastota Rd, Kandy
★★★ 8.5 (42 reviews)

"The hotel was unremarkable overall. The location listed on both Airbnb and Google Maps was inaccurate, which made finding the place confusing when we arrived in Kandy. We thought that hotel is in the city center but was 5km away. The hotel itself is fine, but the room felt like a cheaply renovated space right next to a noisy road. On the positive side, the price was reasonable and the room was clean. Ultimately, my experience was forgettable—this is the kind of place I won’t remember minutes after leaving."

"Very difficult to reach as the road is very narrow and steep. Breakfast was good with quite a lot selection. But the coffee was not nice, tea was much better. It’s a quite old hotel, and the service was not that attentive."

"The hotel is located in the beautiful countryside. The staff was excellent, and the room was clean and comfortable. I liked Ilon's entrance. They asked me about allergies, and the next day, they made sure I was well taken care of during breakfast. I’d stay there again."

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.

Radisson Hotel Kandy Hotels in Kandy

Radisson Hotel Kandy

"Thank you for the upgrade to the room with a balcony, and I absolutely love the huge bathroom. Thank you for the friendly service staff who answered my every query. Waking up to the quiet of Kandy Lake before the rest of the city wakes was a really peaceful feeling and I really enjoyed just standing on tje balcony soaking in the sights. Loving the wide breakfast spread too, ranging from local fare to continental selection. I was spoilt for choice and my tummy really loved the chicken curry & daal. Thank you."

Taru Villas Kandy Hotels in 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 Hotels in Kandy

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."

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 Hotels in Kandy

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."

Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts - Luxury in the Mist Hotels in Kandy

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."

"We arrived after a long train journey and were picked up by a tuktuk driver named Ruwan, a warm and funny gentleman So we decided to ask him if he could drive us around he showed us so many lovley temples snd shops.

Kandy Victoria Eco Resort Hotels in Kandy

Kandy Victoria Eco Resort

"Very pretty and nice resort with mountain view. Friendly staffs and super super nice breakfast. However, it is too fat away from Kandy city center, you have to pay 1500+ rp for each ride, and most tuk tuk drivers don't prefer to go to this place. The google map shows wrong way and the team knew about this, but informed us just on the day of arrival, making this journey even harder."

"Accommodated our late check-in and provided packed breakfasts for early departures. Great staff and service. Located in an excellent spot for watching local birds and plants. Will stay here again."

"Loved this hotel, sitting atop a hill with breathtaking views. From the stunning foyer to the beautifully presented rooms, again with those views, our only regret was that we were only there for one night. Loved the rooftop pool and the adjacent bar. It wasn’t the best of the buffet breakfasts we had in Sri Lanka but absolutely no complaints."

Earl's Regency Hotel ★★★★★
"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 Hotel Cassandra was a beautiful hotel with amazing staff. The manager is very friendly and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to provide us with an outdoor dining experience on the new patio. Chef Selvakumar showed us his talents by making us the most delicious meals. It’s on a hill so you have lovely views as well. The rooms are very comfortable and modern with everything you need."
