Rivendell Hotel

We had a fantastic stay at Rivendell Hotel during our time in Kandy. The hotel is set up in the hills, giving beautiful views and surrounding greenery – especially lovely in the early morning and at sunset on the roof top swimming pool.
The rooms were very clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a nice view. The room had a bar fridge & tea and coffee making facilities.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and happy to assist with any requests transport or local recommendations.Breakfast was delicious with a good mix of Sri Lankan and Western options.The peaceful atmosphere made it a perfect place to unwind after exploring Kandy.
It’s close enough to the city centre to visit places like the Temple of the Tooth, but far enough away to enjoy some quiet time.
Highly recommend Rivendell Hotel for anyone visiting Kandy – great value, lovely staff, and stunning views!

Amazing stay! The hotel is peaceful with stunning mountain and pool views. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the food was delicious. The staff, especially Mr. Thilanka, went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Truly a hidden gem near Kandy

The staff was very friendly 😄 and flexible. Food is also good 👍. Spent a great time at Rivendell

Amazing stay at Rivendell Hotel! Spacious and clean rooms, breathtaking rooftop pool views, and truly outstanding hospitality from the staff — especially Mr. Thilanka. The Sky Restaurant serves delicious food with stunning views. A peaceful getaway just outside Kandy. Highly recommended!

I’ve stayed at many hotels in Sri Lanka, but the staff here truly stood out. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Their constant smiles, kindness, and attention to every detail were something truly special.

The way they took care of us was beyond expectations — it felt personal, sincere, and full of warmth. This hotel will always have a special place in my memories because of the incredible team.

Just one suggestion: the rooftop has an absolutely amazing view — it’s a perfect spot to relax. However, there were no seats or umbrellas to sit under, which was a missed opportunity. Adding some seating and shade would make a huge difference and allow guests to enjoy that breathtaking view comfortably.

Very good staff and breakfast was very good. Worth the money

Very nice place. The staff was incredible. After checking in the manager, Mr. Thilanka, was really nice and offered us a free dinner. We did not stay for dinner because we wanted to see Kandy but when we returned at around 10pm there was a knock on the door and Mr. Thilanka brought us a big plate of fruit and 3 pieces of cake. It really made us feel welcome. The breakfast was a full and very tasty buffet and we were offered eggs as well. I would highly recommend.

We loved everything!! The staff was incredibly friendly and they went above and beyond to help us navigate Kandy. We felt so well taken care of during our stay thanks to all of the employees. The food was delicious and we really felt like we got a taste of local cuisine. The views from the pool deck are otherworldly, with picturesque sunsets over the mountains and up close views of bat migrations. The rooms, however, were by far our favorite part - the big bathroom and the comfortable beds ensured a very relaxing stay.

Its really nice and comfortable place to stay ...lovely surrounding..🤩🤩🤩 foods were excellent good service can satisfied with the place
