Perfect Hotel for family room options in a perfect location for Kandy Centre.
Pros:

Loved this hotel and a perfect location for the tooth temple being only a 5 minute walk away. Was also only a 15 minute walk back from the Esala Perhala festival that we came to Kandy for as could cut along the river. The mezzanine room lake view was perfect for the us with the 2 children and not too noisy as away from the road side. The breakfast and dinners were all great and really reasonable prices. The coffee shop was pricier but really nice to have this facility on site. The staff were all ever so friendly. The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Cons:

Nothing apart from not understanding why so many hotels in Sri Lanka have single use plastic shampoo and shower gel. Please can they all make an effort to move to refill large bottles…….

Perfect accommodation from which to explore Kandy
Pros:

We had a suite on the top floor of the hotel. It was amazing. The views across the lake were spectacular. We ate at the hotel and apart from some blackouts that affected the whole region, our experience was excellent. The staff were let on that it was a member of our party's birthday and they presented him with cake at breakfast which was great. This hotel is in excellent proximity to the Lake, Kandy, and nearby temples. A great base from which to explore

Cons:

Really, nothing. Both families were very happy with our suites.

Pros:

Het appartement was erg groot met uitzicht op het meer. Er waren twee badkamers.

Cons:

Er was best veel geluid van de straat ook al zaten de ramen dicht. Het zwembad kwam niet overeen met de foto's. Het zag er niet uitnodigend uit om een duik in te nemen. Voor de slaapkamers heb je een apart pasje nodig. Dit is wat onhandig, omdat de slaapkamers zich in het appartement bevinden en je al met een pas bent binnengekomen.

千万不要住401号房
Pros:

位置很好离佛牙寺跟近，房间设计看上去很好

Cons:

房间总会从屋顶传出持续2-3分钟时长的不明噪音，街上路过的巴士喇叭也很吵，而且隔音也很差，能很清楚的听到隔壁人在聊天，住了一晚根本没办法睡觉，和前台反应了以后也只是说很抱歉，他们会向上级反应这个情况，总之住宿体验很差

This is good
Pros:

The people were the nicest, helped me out very well with everything and made sure that I had all that I needed. I really appreciate them!
Breakfast was nice with Sri Lankan and western options.
Pool was clean and cold-ish, but I'd argue this is a good temperature to actually swim in it. If you just want to stand yes it's a bit cold.
Location is good, I always walked to the city centre of Kandy. Due to a road closure this is faster than going around the lake, especially during rush hour.

Cons:

Dinner options at the restaurant were a bit limited

Bien si chambre sur lac
Pros:

Chambre en duplex très spacieuse et propre. A proximité du centre, tout se fait à pied

Cons:

La chambre sur forêt donne surtout sur la route, extrêmement bruyante toute la nuit

Stylish and different with great design, food and location!
Pros:

The fact that it was a little bit different! We had a loft apartment with two bedrooms on the top floor and it was such a beautiful space with amazing views overlooking the lake. The food was also really good from the restaurant and the adjoining cafe! The staff were really friendly and attentive - we really enjoyed our stay here!

Cons:

Need to make it clear on booking.com that the 15% discount on food only applies to the restaurant not the cafe.

Pros:

Hotel in posizione centrale a Kandy, giusto a pochi minuti a piedi dal Tempio del Dente! Ho soggiornato in questo hotel per 3 notti a inizio agosto e ho avuto modo di stare nella camera matrimoniale al piano terra, che era molto grande confortevole. La struttura affaccia sul lago ed è tutto molto curato e pulito, offre pure la piscina, seppur di dimensioni ridotte. Buono anche il servizio colazione e ristorante anche se per la sera suggerirei un po' di varietà in più :)
