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."

"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 🇱🇰"

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."

A great choice for anyone looking for a quiet getaway in Kandy. We look forward to visiting again!"

"Facilities: The facilities are very new and should be relatively good in this area. There is an infinity pool on the top floor, and the view of the town is great. Hygiene: It is very clean and efficient overall Environment: It is very close to the observation deck in Kandy Service: The check-in efficiency is high, the service staff is very friendly, and there is a little monkey on the balcony and he actively asked me to see it"

Hotel Casamara

"Ok 3 star. Location central with good site access. Rooms tired (numerous broken parts) but fine. Street facing rooms with balcony have a nice outlook. Pool looked good - but didn’t use. Breakfast ok, generous amounts though. Doing some front of house renos which should freshen that part up a bit. Most staff very nice, some questionable but that could be anything. Wouldn’t say stay, but wouldn’t say don’t."

"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."

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."
