Hotels in Kandy

Our stay at the resort was fabulous and incredibly relaxing. The wellness meals with gourmet touch with delicious and the staff very professional and helpful, including the ayuvedan spa, with special thanks to the amazing Dr Sahini, the masseuses and the inspiring yoga master Saman. Overall, we had a wonderful, restful stay and would gladly come back!

Magical place with beautiful architecture, exquisite cuisine and outstanding service. The wellness treatments were superb and the sauna, steam room and mineral water heated pool were amazing. The place appeals to all your senses. We left with wonderful and lasting memories.

Our stay at Santani Wellness Resort & Spa was truly rejuvenating. Nestled in a stunning location with breathtaking mountain views, it’s the perfect escape to unwind and recharge from busy schedules. The fine dining experience was exceptional, with beautifully curated dishes and great flavors. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay, making everything feel seamless. The spa...

I’ve been to 56 countries but never been to a place like this. If you’re looking to escape from fast life to recharge and recover this is the place. If you feel like you need a brake but you don’t know what can heal your body and soul the team at Santani will give you an answer and help you. Breathing views everywhere. I especially loved pool villa with gives you maximum privacy overlooking mountains...

I can honestly say that Santani Wellness Resort & Spa is the best wellness retreat I’ve ever been to. It has completely set the bar so high that I feel like everywhere else I now go will struggle to compare. The staff are incredible — so attentive, warm, and genuinely caring without ever being over the top. The food was also a standout: nourishing, beautifully prepared, and something I looked forward...

Santani is truly a magical experience. The care and attention the staff give to you is impeccable. They are friendly with excellent due diligence. The food was tailor made to our requirements and the wellness aspect was mind blowing. We felt truly rejuvenated and healthy. Dr Nadeesha’s acupuncture was an additional fantastic holistic treatment which really boosted our wellbeing. We really recommend...

We stayed at W15 Hanthana Estate during our tour around Sri Lanka, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable stays of our trip . This is a small boutique property set high in the hills with truly incredible views. The gardens and outdoor spaces are stunning and beautifully maintained, and the pool and terrace areas are breathtaking places to relax and take in the scenery. The hotel itself...

What an absolutely amazing experience, this hotel is not a hotel but a very stylish “home away from home”. The staff is all so polite, serviceminded and ready to go out of their way to make you feel perfect. The W15 Hantana Estate gives you so much more than you dream of, and it is such a beautiful place. We can’t wait to be back again sometime.

We stayed at W15 Hanthana in a bungalow suite in the main house for three nights. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel is situated high up in the hills outside Kandy in a very tranquil location with amazing views. Our room was very spacious with a lovely sitting area and small but private outdoor space. Housekeeping kept everything beautifully clean and tidy. ...

Difficult to fault. Beautiful location in the hills above Kandy. Faultless service and food. Wonderful ambience.

Stylish accommodation and surroundings. The room was beautiful, well-equipped, and clean. The food was delicious with a wide selection, and throughout the entire stay, the service provided by the butlers was perfect. If I were to stay in Kandy or the surrounding area again, I would definitely choose W15 Hanthana Estate.

This boutique hotel was our favourite place on our first holiday in Sri Lanka. We stayed at 7 luxury hotels but this stood out. The friendliness of the staff was amazing. They couldn’t do enough for us. The rooms and views were stunning.

This was my second visit to The Elephant Stables - and it was amazing! This beautiful and inviting small boutique hotel is incredibly hospitable. The hotel is designed to make you feel at home and pampered. Everyone there works together to ensure that you have an absolutely amazing time. Our group explored Kandy during the morning and returned in the afternoon for a much-needed swim. Nihal, the...

This is a beautifully secluded hotel, high in the hills overlooking Kandy. The team were very friendly and the food was amazing. The room was well-stocked with tea and coffee making facilities. The Manager was not the most customer-focussed of chaps, but his team was just delightful. The bathroom smelt slightly damp.

We stayed for 2 nights at this wonderful hotel. Colonial character with swimming pool. Our room was well furnished and the bed was very comfortable. 2 things really stand out. Firstly the quality of the food. Freshly cooked from local ingredients. My curry dinner was enormous. 12 dishes all perfect and enough for 2!! Secondly, the staff; all smiling and happy to see you and friendly. Nothing is too...

From the moment we arrived nihal and team couldn’t do enough for us the food lovingly prepared by tyronne was delicious best hotel and food since we arrived. feel so cared for thankyou team

I can highly recommend Elephant Stables in Kandy, for the service, accommodation, food and location. This is a small boutique hotel on top of a hill overlooking parts of Kandy city, the location is peaceful and views lovely. The room we had was very comfortable with excellent amenities and a large balcony overlooking the garden and the views beyond. The dinner was superb, I had the Indian tasting menu...

We had the most wonderful stay at The Elephant Stables. A mega warm welcome from Nihal and his team!! Lovely atmosphere and accommodation. Superb food and the chief was very attentive also. Very much recommended to anyone fortunate to stay there.

Wonderful, friendly staff willing to address queries and expertly facilitate any needs. Close to facilities, a beautiful view surrounded by the sights and sounds of wildlife. Walking a bit of a challenge due to narrow road side and my experience level, would recommend transport as easy, affordable and fun.

The staff are very attentive, the food served is excellent, the room is clean and the hotel's location is not far from the lake.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days last week and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Kandy is a great base to explore the town and surrounding national parks/official walking trails. It is great hotel, it doesn’t offer any frills, but everything is clean and well maintained. We were really happy with our room and quiet. Loved seeing the monkeys and a great view over Kandy. It is an easy walk to some...

Staff looked after us really well in what was a difficult situation due to extreme weather. The service was always excellent, food was varied and tasty, the hotel was clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you!!

Nice hotel in the jungle with great view and nice staff. Good food, quality time spent there. Would definitely come again

Best hotel I have ever went to. Very good hospitality and food. They prepared special Indian food for us without asking for. Very caring staff and clean rooms . With best view. Must visit hotel if you are in Sri Lanka.with cool and fun pool to swim

beautiful hotel and restaurant. all the food was amazing and good portion sizes. great location. helpful staff. similarly priced to other places in the area but so much nicer and fresher. best mushrooms of my life!

We stayed at this wonderful hotel right in the middle of Kandy. The location was excellent with great sights and restaurants in walking distance. The rooms were very nice, clean, and comfortable with great views. The staff at the hotel were wonderful and attentive. I would highly recommend this place for the ambiance and location. In addition, they helped us book tour guide (including car): Sachin...

Perfectly fine sand comfortable stay. Nothing special as advertised but clean and good location.

My stay at The Radh was truly delightful and incredibly comfortable. It was the perfect place to unwind after a rather demanding journey around Sri Lanka. Kandy is a wonderful city, and the hotel made my time here even more enjoyable. The service is exceptional - always helpful, warm, and speaking the best English I’ve heard on the island. Breakfast is outstanding, offering something for everyone....

The Radh Hotel was an excellent choice — we stayed for two nights and truly enjoyed every moment. Kandy is unforgettable: vibrant, authentically Sri Lankan, yet still showing traces of its British heritage. Life here feels different, uplifting, and full of warmth. The people are kind and always helpful. The hotel is centrally located but in a quiet street, so our room was peaceful and we couldn’t...

Although it was a bit pricey, the location, service, and cleanliness were all perfect! It was convenient as the Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake, and the market were all within walking distance!

The hotel was well placed for seeing the local sights. The bedrooms are large and airy and clean. Having the pool to use after a hot day was wonderful. The staff were all warm, kind and welcoming. Amantha was amazing and very helpful. My birthday celebration was made special by the whole team.

I had a very comfortable stay. The room was clean and cozy, and the service was excellent. The staff were kind and always ready to help. Overall, a great place to relax. Highly recommended!

This was a perfect little hotel, all the things you need, amazing staff, super clean pool, great location to be out of the way but also easily accessing the centre town. Upul assisted us with breakfast and he was lovely, great view and perfect buffet breakfast!

The Senani hotel is well situated with a spectacular view of Kandy. The rooms are nicely furnished with high ceilings and lovely balconies. The hotel has a beautiful swimming pool. The restaurant offers tasty meals with a breathtaking view of the city. The main highlight was the staff that went above the call of duty to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommended!

In a great position up the hill, overlooking Kandy. Would be great if you had a room in the newer section but room in the old part was dated and grubby. Bathroom was grim, and the lightshades were dirty. Old furniture on balcony. The staff were all lovely though and a great breakfast included. Great views from restaurant.

Beautiful hotel up the hill with breathtaking view of Kandy from the restaurant. Staff are super friendly and kind with big smiles. Delicious big buffet breakfast with loads of fresh fruits, egg, toast, pancake, French toast etc although coffee is very weak and very very watery, it be nice if they put Nescafé next to so people can add. Great dinner/lunch menus with delicious spaghetti dishes. Rooms...

Off the hustle & bustle. Beautiful views fro m the balconies.

The noticeable hair on the bathroom floor was a big turn-off. The hotel's location is indeed good, but the view wasn't particularly great; our low floor was obstructed by tree branches. The furniture in the room is quite old-fashioned. Breakfast had limited variety, and the dinner buffet, which was an extra charge, was three times the price of our previous hotel but only half as good in terms of taste...

I'm sure this was due to the effects of the hurricane that occurred a while ago, but the wifi and TV were not working, which was very inconvenient. I chose a hotel with wifi, so this was very disappointing. There was no discount to compensate for the inconvenience, and no services such as free breakfast were offered. I think they should have notified us in advance and allowed us to cancel.

The amenities was quite old, but I chose the location for the view and it did not disappoint. The room and pool view was magnificent and you can watch the sunrise. Only downside is that sunsets early and it was quite a ride to go back to the hotel

We booked a room with a view and it certainly delivered. We had a spacious balcony and could see so much, happily have sat outside for hours and luckily even the sunrise was watchable. Service was really good and staff were extremely helpful. Room was very spacious, bath was amazing and also came with the view. Other facilities we made the most of included the infinity pool, which again came with the...

It's a little far from Kandy, but I slept soundly. The welcome drink was coffee milk. The mountain path is tough💦

Great stay! Spacious room with comfy beds and pillows. Rooftop pool is nice and good view. Would stay again.

Located on a hill with a beautiful view over Kandy lake, 5-10mim max by walk to the lake, room clean and spacious, gym needs an upgrade though (only two treadmills and 1-2kg weights…)

At first I couldn't find our order, it turns out trip.com passed by *******Help us book a hotel,the hotel staff helped us check for a long timeFinally found the information! The staff are very friendly, the hotel facilities are complete, the environment is clean and tidy, and can help us make special arrangements for dinner on the swimming pool floor, the overall performance is very...

Overall it was good. It's a little far from the city, but within acceptable limits. The hotel is on a hill, so the views are great. The view from the rooftop pool is particularly good, and the sunrise is amazing. The service and room were above average, but on the flip side, it was nice not to be bothered too much.

This hotel is located about 10 minutes from the city center, which can be a slight inconvenience due to the uphill climb, but the location offers a certain tranquility. Although the hotel is small, it has a rooftop pool that offers wonderful views of the surrounding area, perfect for relaxing. Regarding the restaurant, we decided not to have breakfast there because the service is à la carte and we...

Nice hotel. Good location. But not a four star hotel. Maximum 2.5 stars

Excellent location, just a short walk to the city, Sri Dalada Maligawa, and most of the key attractions. The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the breathtaking view from the hotel room balconies, the upper-floor restaurant, and the rooftop swimming pool. From these vantage points, you get a stunning bird’s-eye view of the city, the temple, and the lake. Service was commendable. The staff were...

Oak Ray Kandy offers a truly delightful experience. The food is absolutely delicious, with some of the best flavors you can find, and the quality is consistently excellent. The rooms are very comfortable and well-maintained, making the stay relaxing and enjoyable. Overall, it’s a great place for both amazing food and a comfy stay. Highly recommended!

Modern hotel with great views. Kandy lookout view point is 50 meters so room balcony view is the same. Aircon good ( which has been hit and miss on our tour)Great hospitality from attentive staff. Breakfast very good. Only downside was no dedicated bar as such. Stayed 3 nights for England v Sri Lanka cricket. Good restand bar over the road with live music and same views.

Oak Ray Heritage Hotel – Kandy We had a great stay at Oak Ray Heritage Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was very kind and helpful, and the food was excellent with a great variety. Everything was perfect, and we were very satisfied. Highly for anyone visiting Kandy! Recommended Danushka F.O.M

Nice clean hotel. The rooms are spatious the food is good and the hotel has a pool and good laundry service. The hotel also has a nice view.

Hilltop location with stunning views over Kandy, lake and golden roof of Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Rooftop pool was beautiful ( even though it was raining it was warm rain and water!)

We had a wonderful stay at Rivendell Hotel. The hotel is in a peaceful location just outside the busy centre of Kandy, making it a perfect place to relax while still being close to the main attractions. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had beautiful views of the surrounding hills and greenery. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, always happy to help with anything we needed and giving...

Midcity, quiet inside, cozy, clean, great hospitality. Bat migration in evening from rooftop is treat. Food variety is good, for Asians as well as Europians, americans, and Oceania. Do taste the fish. Freshwater fish are tasty, saltwater fish fleshy, well cooked. Caring staff.

The hotel was not so busy when we visited but nonetheless it's a pretty place. A compact hotel with all the amenities you will need. Beautiful views of the river and mountains depending on which side your room is. The pool on the roof also gives great views. Staff are helpful and friendly especially the ones in the restaurant!

Good hotel in Kandy, room is clean and staff are friendly. The food is good, I enjoyed the dosa and idly combo for breakfast. We had purchased some cashew along the way, the restaurant staff prepared it for us to taste as well.

Excellent service but A/C is not functioning well. Please look into it as a matter of urgency. Food was also good. The operations manager along with his colleagues were very friendly and courteous. My hats off to the operations manager. Also TV was not functioning properly and limited channels only. First day we were getting BBC and CNN. And suddenly these channels disappeared totally.

A hidden gem in Kandy. Big and cozy rooms welcome you. Prompt, attentive and smiling staff make sure you feel at home. Delicious food for breakfast and dinner. What else you can ask for. Keep up the good work guys. Would love to revisit every time I come to Kandy.

The best location close to the temple and to the show. The staff was very nice and help us with everything. The room is beautiful that let us feel the vibe of Sri Lanka. Recommend.

The room is a bit tired, but everything works. The location is great, everything is within walking distance. Parking is available.

A very good hotel. Located right in the center, close to all the sights and shops selling local products and souvenirs. The staff was friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a large balcony. I definitely recommend it!

It was a nice hotel right in the middle of the kandy town. Many shops around. There is a Hindu temple close to the hotel. Breakfast was good. Nice place to stay.

It was in a great location, close to the Temple of the Tooth and the lake, and there were many restaurants nearby.

There many ants in the room. Television is not working well.

Nice hotel with a lovely view. Nice dinner and breakfast. Fine room and nice bathroom, but no possibility to open windows because of mosquitos. Friendly staff and good service.

Really great, spacious place with a very friendly staff. Recommend if you love calm and quiet stay. Also, you could appreciate a serene surreal misty view from the balconies.

Service was good. the food was good and totally very hygienic. The bed was very comfortable. And the view was amazing. I liked Melheim.

Nice hotel, really high up in the back end of no where, with lovely scenic views and close to Kandy and nearby attractions e.g Kandy Heights & Commonwealth cemetery Set menu choices for evening meals and breakfast. Large, o for table clean room with fantastic views. Friendly staff

We loved the staff, they couldn’t be more friendly. Beautiful hilltop setting with fantastic views of the green tropical valley below. The room was standard but still comfortable, and secluded. A unique experience that we highly recommend to everyone.

It was a great stay! We have a wonderful night, a perfect dinner and breakfast. The people are really kind and friendly, especially Shan.

The hotel is not so clean and the day we are there, in top floor restaurant there is a wedding ceremony. The fanfar of this event is too high and disturb us to sleep.

The hotel was indeed very clean and beautiful. The staff members were also exceptionally friendly. Furthermore, the breakfast was quite enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Room is too old i think the hotel with 4 star is the same with motel

Stay was awesome with present staffs there were so kind. Food is too good. A best experience highly recommended for travel.

Facilities are beyond my expectations. Food was delicious. I'm vegetarian and I had veg food, which was really nice. Service is on point Staffs are really welcoming and friendly. Overall the stay was absolutely amazing.

Food was really good and stay was really present with good staffs. Must visit and highly recommended to travellers for there best amenities

A great central location in the middle of Kandy. All your basic needs included with a nice buffet breakfast included.

The noise from the upstairs room, including coughing, was really disturbing as soundproofing was poor. I was also woken up early in the morning by a continuous, unidentified noise, possibly from the boiler, which was very annoying.

Enjoyed my stay here if you are looking at a central location this is it. It's right in the center so convenient. Walking distance to everything. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Delicious food from the restaurant and fresh coffee in the morning. Thank everyone at Cafe Aroma Inn

Friendly staff and comfortable room. Great location nearby main shopping and lake. Cafe below is very good.

Nice hotel in town, very friendly & helpful staff

The location is so convenient because it is located in the center of the Kandy city.

The staff were very nice, the room was very comfortable. The bar was fine, however I ordered hot butter mushrooms and got what i think was aubergine covered in something very heavy

The owners and employees at this hotel are so, so lovely. Unfortunately their hotel is not. I almost feel catfished as many of the photos highlighted the bar and pool party atmosphere. This was not the case - the pool was a decent size but in the shade and I actually didn’t see anyone in it. The pool party drinking shots I highly suspect were perhaps not a genuine source. The same goes for the...

It was a weekend, and the bars next to the hotel and inside were having a big party, with heavy metal rock until after 2am, and I couldn't fall asleep at all! It was a terrible experience

Situated on an inner road and with glass doors this hotel was a little scary to stay at. Breakfast was a set menu for each person and was layed out very beautifully.

Staff were wonderful, so helpful and took time to help me plan a full day as I only had one day in Kandy. They also gave me suggestions for my trip after Kandy also. The gym was fantastic to have and the pool. Kettle and fridge in the rooms. Located very near to the city Centre of Kandy. Really worth the reasonable price! Really personal touch…much appreciated! Would totally recommend!

Good relax place.Nice pool & super service.like old furniture and things there.

I had only breakfast at property, being an Indian was looking for some veg indian breakfast. Staff was very courteous. I had the best dosa here in srilanka. Simply mouth watering - crisp, mouth watering chutney and aaloo masala. They took time to prepare and we were informed that if informed prior, they can have it ready earlier ( were staying in property next to this hotel) but wait was worth. They...

Good location but very basic hotel. Reception is the dining room. Food was very basic and quite poor . Room was adequate but very small and dark with no windows. However The staff were charming, cheerful and very helpful. We were only there one night hotel served its purpose

Great location, right by the lake and walking distance to the tooth relic temple. I did have a monkey rob me of my $100 bill and everything with a wrapper in my luggage. So make sure to keep all your doors and windows closed when you leave for the day. The WiFi was not strong on the top level so ask for a room on the lower floors. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Im not the one to leave reviws usually , but this place is to good to not to leave any .... this hotel is Truly hidden gem in kandy , the shower water is amazing and the staff don't just treat you like another customer, they take a very good care of you and make sure you have the best experience possible. And they have the best frech fries :D

This was the perfect location. Walking distance to the city center and Temple but quiet enough to enjoy my time too. My room was a good size and very clean. The staff was amazing. The hotel restaurant was very good also. I greatly enjoyed my stay here.

The reception guy was so helpful and friendly. (Actually all personnels were like that) If you stay in that hotel , then you don’t need to go to the view point of Kandy because this hotel has the best view ever. It is so close to the center, to the Kandy Lake and all the restaurants. But keep this in mind that it is at the top of the hill. (That’s why you’ll have an amazing view). Bring your own tooth...

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.

Hotel runs on a conscious budget as they do not supply basic amentities to guest. There are no tooth brushes, bedroom slippers, floor mats and bottled water. I noticed hotels in Sri Lanka do not stock the room with these items unless Guest ask for it. This is lacking in good hospitality. My room TV was not working. Location is okay and near to the city centre.

The location is excellent. It's a 5-7 minute drive/tuk-tuk ride to the Buddha statue and the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. The room isn't large, but the beds are great and the towels are soft. The pool and restaurant are on the 7th floor. The food isn't bad – they serve tasty meals. There's parking available for a couple of cars.

Clean and excellent location , the food was good

Great location, close to the tourist center. Friendly staff, clean room. A decent option for a day or two.

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...

Excellent hotel stay with great hospitality and services. Enjoyed good food, ambience and vibes. The rooms are spacious, hygienic and offer a scenic view. Mr Bandara is a very dedicated and nice person, very much impressed with his hospitality and warmth. Would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone planning their visit to Kandy.

Great stay at Oak Ray City Hotel. The room was very clean and the atmosphere was nice. The location is in the main town, making it easy to access anywhere around the city. Great value for money. Special thanks to Bandara for his very friendly service and for checking in with us about breakfast and everything during our stay.

Our overall experience was excellent. The housekeeping manager Mr. Bandara is very supportive and helpful. The other staff is also very friendly. The rooms and washroom were very clean and had all the amenities. Full value for money. It is recommended for a stay by anyone visiting Sri Lanka and Kandy.

Excellent stay curtesy Mr Bandara, Mr Sampath and all the other staff, amazed local food by Chef Laxman, will returns for sure

Good rooms and friendly service. Mr Bandaram at the front desk was kind and helpful with our stay here.

Comfortable clean rooms staff was really polite & very helpful…..Housekeeping manager Bandara was also so kind & helpful.

We had a wonderful stay in Kandy! The room was super comfortable, and the restaurant served absolutely delicious food. The location is perfect.so close to the Temple of the Tooth, and we could easily walk into Kandy town. Highly recommended!

Our purpose was to visit the Temple of tooth relic. This hotel is the best place to stay inside the Kandy city. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean & comfortable rooms. Highly recommend

Well worth the price. The staff was really helpful and friendly. The room was clean, had a great balcony view as well. The linen could be better, but I have no complaints because of the relatively low price I had to pay. Small, but quite a handy place with everything you need for a couple days' stay. Many thanks to the establishment for charging a fair local price despite of the increasing dollar rate...

When my friends and I go on a trip to Kandy, let's choose the kandy city say hotel as our accommodation. Its surroundings are beautiful. Clean and tidy. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Booked the Deluxe Room for one night. Everything was clean and room was spacious. We were told that the rooms on the upper floors are generally the better ones. For the cheap price very good. Location is good only 10 min from the Railway. You can also walk to the city or malls takes around 15 to 20minutes. For a short Stay in the city the hotel is perfect.

Capsule hotel. Basically you will be allocated a capsule bed built like lockers into the walls of the building basement. Very cheap and clean but be prepared for the minimalist design. WiFi and mobile internet do not work in the capsule
