So overall this hotel was an excellent option. My room had a great view, especially at night with the city lights against the mountainsides. The lock on the door, although it did lock, was a bit difficult and frustrating. However, Kandy City stay does get high marks for staff and their local tours. The hotel’s (mainly elephant park) was excellent and very economical.

The service provided by the staff of Kandy City is excellent, the hotel itself is a little dated and the picture isn’t actually the hotel. But for a budget option my partner and I were happy. Breakfast was super filling and generous. The hotel is an awkward spot but a close enough walk to the lake and shopping areas.

This hotel has spacious rooms and lovely windows to look over the city. What was absolutely outstanding was the customer service and genuine care from staff. We needed to extend our stay on our day of check out after being hospitalised in kandy. The staff organised everything and even waited until we were discharged from hospital at 1230AM to hand deliver us our room key and make sure we got in safe.

Nice Stay

Superbly located with beautiful views of Kandy City. The breakfast was tasty and provided a nice touch. Staff were hospitable and accommodating generally. Room was mountain view and was spacious. However, there were some mild stains on the sheet. Overall though, it was a nice stay.

日本の方へ。 ここの宿は、虫が発生してることを生き物との共存と言い訳しています。 また、周りも暗く野良犬だらけ。キャンディの観光には向かない立地です。 予算が許すのであれば、キャンディレイクに近いエリアだと楽しいひと時になると思います。

Centralt hotel

Værelset var ‘stort’ og udemærket, dog meget lyt ud til gangen! Rummet var lækkert ift prisen. Til morgenmad kunne man både få srilankansk- og engelsk morgenmad - rart med lidt afveksling. Flot udsigt ved terrassen hvor man spiser mad. Hoteller ligger dejligt centralt både til stationen og byen. Man kunne gå direkte til begge ting! En anbefaling hvis man ønsker at bo midt i byen til få penge.

Nous avons passés une seule nuit a Kandy afin de prendre le train vers Ella. La chambre était très propre et la vie était très belle vers la ville avec les montagnes. Tout était propre dans notre chambre par contre sa sentait fort la boule a mite. Mes vêtements le lendemain sentait haha. Sinon la gare de train est à 10 minutes de marche a peine. Utile si on veut prendre le train tôt sans utiliser de transport

The staff were so helpful. I had booked a room that was tooo big and too many beds for just one person (solo traveler) and instead they helped find me a room with a better view and more accustomed to my needs. Also having a restaurant with fantastic food on the roof is so convenient if you are tired and don’t want to meander into the city center. Great stay!
