Description
Kandy View Garden Hotel is a 3-star hotel located in Kandy, Sri Lanka, offering a range of room types from Economy to Deluxe with options including family rooms and rooms with balconies or views. The hotel features amenities such as air conditioning, free WiFi, a swimming pool, spa and wellness center, and a restaurant serving continental breakfast daily from 7:00 to 10:00. While the hotel is praised for its friendly and hospitable staff and pleasant views over the city, some guests have noted that the property can feel a bit run down, with occasional issues like dust and mold. The pool and dining areas are consistently reported as clean, and the food quality is variable, with breakfast often highlighted positively but dinner less so. The hotel allows pets but the policy states pets are not allowed, so pets are not admitted. Free parking and car hire services are also available. The main guest must be at least 18 years old to check in.
Location
The hotel is situated at 148/41 George E De Silva Mawatha, Anniewatta, approximately 5 km from KDZ Airport (Polgolla Reservoir). It is about 2.3 km from the Ceylon Tea Museum, a local attraction showcasing Sri Lanka's tea industry history. Nearby dining options include The Vinci Caterers and Adman's Strawberry restaurants, both roughly 328 meters away, plus Five Five Nine Restaurant at 377 meters. Due to its hillside location, walking to central Kandy is not practical, but tuk-tuks offer a quick 10-minute ride into town.
Tips
- Expect to use tuk-tuks for transport to central Kandy since the hotel is located high in the hills and walking is impractical.
- Breakfast is recommended, especially the omelettes, but you may want to try other local restaurants for dinner.
- Be prepared for some areas of the hotel to feel a bit worn and bring any insect repellent if you are sensitive, as some guests reported insects.

Reviews
Staff are great always friendly and doing beyond what you expected...always clean from room to outside...thanks for a wonderful stay...
It's impossible to walk anywhere from here, but a tuk-tuk into town is cheap and takes 10 minutes. The staff in the hotel and very helpful and are always available to organise transport and suggest places to visit.
Great omelettes for breakfast!
