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

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

📍 DS Senanayake Veediya, Kandy
★★★★★ 8.8 (77 reviews)

"Hotel location is good and near to temple, staff is not responsive rather they are conning, I reached late night so I requested that I will check out around 12:30 means half n hour than their policy but they refused that your room is allocated to another person who will check in around 2:00pm. I was wondering whether to go to travel lodge or pay them extra, at that time hotel occupancy was less than 10% but they were in their own way."

Selene City Hotel

Selene City Hotel

📍 344 Katugastota Rd, Kandy
★★★ 8.5 (50 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."

The Grand Kandyan

The Grand Kandyan

📍 89, 10 Lady Gordon's Dr, Kandy
★★★★★ 8.3 (69 reviews)

"Mr Aburodha working in the restaurant is very good, very professional and notice he serving a table for 10 guests during dinner time is in a very sincere manner and professional. We really appreciated for his services."

Mount Blue Kandy

Mount Blue Kandy

📍 352, 15 Dharmaraja Mawatha, Kandy
★★★★ 8.5 (76 reviews)

"This was our first hotel spot in Sri Lanka and it turned our to be our family's favorite one. Everyone including the children loved this place, from the rooms, view, service and food everything was excellent. Hotel staff from the reception till the kitchen everyone is super friendly and welcoming. View is out class 👌 Early morning if you wake and stand in the balcony you will receive fresh oxygen all around with a beautiful view of greenery all around, amazing temples, flowing river, mountains and much more. A special mention for Chef Ranjeet and Mr. Khan both are brilliant in their field. We have decided to visit Sri Lanka once again and stay in this lovely hotel. Not forgetting the fabulous swimming pool where you can chill with your loved ones and take amazing memorable pictures 📷 All i would say this is all in one a perfect place to spend your holidays whenever you plan a trip to Refreshingly beautiful Sri Lanka 🇱🇰"

Sevana City Hotel

Sevana City Hotel

📍 84 Peradeniya Rd, Katukele, Kandy
★★★ 8.6 (47 reviews)

"The hotel was clean and staff was helpful. There is a rooftop resturant and pool we enjoyed. There is a refillable water area. The location was close and walkable to surrounding sites and restaurants."

Earl's Regency Hotel

Earl's Regency Hotel

📍 Kundasale, Kandy
★★★★★ 9.0 (76 reviews)

"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."

Cassendra Hotel Kandy

📍 38/A Rajapihilla Mawatha, Kandy

"We want to say a huge thank you for the wonderful four-night stay. Chameera and Dilrukshi at reception, along with Isuru from housekeeping, were outstanding. The rooms were spotless, the food was fantastic, and when my girlfriend fell sick, you all went above and beyond to help. We are so grateful for your care and attention. Thank you so much!"

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

Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts - Luxury in the Mist

"I am giving a good rating here, but also want to be very fair and objective. This hotel definitely does not deserve full points, but I was forced to leave a 5/5 review on Tripadvisor the day I checked out, which I had since deleted. While I understand that tourism is a big thing for Sri Lanka, this isn't the way to do business and it isn't fair if travellers get misinformed. Yes, the hotel is perched on a hill and is suitable for you if you prefer peace and quiet after a day in the city, but extended stays might get troublesome due to the winding, narrow hilly roads. There's an infinity pool with nature views but slippers are surely recommended because the changing room/bathroom is away from the pool. The room was also nice and comfy except that the air-con blew directly at the bed despite having adjusted the vane and fan speed. Definitely do not open the windows at night to prevent bugs from entering."

Grand Serendib Hotel Hotels in Kandy

"We stayed in the family room which is very spacious to a point that the rooms looks empty. Cozy chairs on the balcony."

Devon Rest Hotels in Kandy

"Water pressure is too low. The room has a balcony but smoking is not allowed!! No toothbrush in the amenities."

Bethel Rest Homestay Hotels in Kandy

Bethel Rest Homestay

"Bethel Rest homestay is ran by a sweet woman renting rooms out of her house. Service/hospitality: 5/5 Super sweet. Very helpful. Breakfast 5/5 She makes an excellent and plentiful breakfast! Location 4/5 It's up a big hill and using pickme app it usually cost around 200-300 to get up the hill. Room: 4/5 We stayed in the smallest double and and it was pretty small with a tiny bathroom. We did see the triple room and it was much bigger. I'd suggest paying the extra money for the triple to get more space and much more natural light. There is a nice shared patio that we enjoyed."

Skyloft Kandy by Aaradhya Hotels in Kandy

Skyloft Kandy by Aaradhya

"We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Skyloft Kandy. It has a beautiful layout along with a view of the mountains and greenery. The bright, breathtaking and serene view combined with the peaceful atmosphere made our stay perfectly relaxing and quite memorable. We also found the food exceptionally delicious. The dining menu had a superb variety of incredibly palatable cuisines prepared to absolute perfection. Each meal was enjoyed with joy and was beautifully presented. The rooms we stayed in were perfectly tidy and comfortable, while the level of maintenance in every aspect was impressive and indicated the hotel's impeccable standards. We were also impressed with the remarkable level of service rendered by all the staff members throughout our visit. Each employee was incredibly professional, attentive and uphold an impressive standard of hospitality. We highly recommend Skyloft Kandy to any person seeking an enjoyable, serene, luxurious and memorable visit to Kandy. It was absolutely a beautiful experience and we hope to visit again soon."

The Grand Kandyan ★★★★★
"We recently stayed 2 nights at The Grand Kandyan Hotel and had a fantastic experience. This was our third visit (previously with friends and family), and once again, the team made us feel truly welcome with their personal touch. The hotel itself is grand and full of heritage charm. Rooms are spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The food was excellent with plenty of variety, and every meal was enjoyable. The pool & the Gym are excellent. What stood out most was the service—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. Specially Mr. Henry at the Tamarind Restaurant! Overall, an excellent stay and definitely one of the best places to stay in Kandy. Highly recommended! "

Mount Blue Kandy ★★★★
"One of the best views from rooms at kandy. Super clean rooms with sky view tubs and balconies. Rooms are bit compact but with all facilities and comfort. Sleep quality is good. Meals are little above average, and service is good enough for the resort. Nice view from pool deck and also from restaurant. View from the room at night, eve, dusk and even at sunset is memorable."

Sevana City Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is conveniently located and offers good value for the price. It appears to have been recently renovated. The front desk staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional; they kindly assisted me with ticket booking and provided useful local information. Room cleanliness was better than average. The hotel also offers on-site laundry services at reasonable rates, which was very convenient. The only downside is that there is no elevator from the lobby to the first floor, so I had to carry my luggage up one floor before accessing the elevator to my room."

Cassendra Hotel Kandy ★★★★
"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."
