Perfect Family Stay Near Kandy’s Top Attractions
Pros:

This hotel enjoys an excellent location in the heart of Kandy, just a short walk from the city’s most iconic attractions, including the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and Kandy Lake. It is also within walking distance of the Kandy Lake Club, which hosts popular evening cultural dance performances, as well as the Kandy City Centre shopping mall.

We stayed in the Family Suite, which offered great views of the surrounding hills and Kandy Lake from its private balcony. The layout was perfect for our family of four, featuring a comfortable double bed on the main level and two single beds in the loft area that the children thoroughly enjoyed. The suite also included a small kitchenette, a cozy living area with a sofa and television, and ample space to relax after a day of sightseeing.

The in-room dining menu offered a good selection of dishes, and service was consistently prompt and efficient. Breakfast was enjoyable, although the variety of options was somewhat limited.

Overall, we found this hotel to offer excellent value for money. Its central location, spacious family-friendly accommodation, and convenient amenities make it an ideal choice for travelers who wish to explore Kandy on foot while enjoying a comfortable stay.

Cons:

During our stay, the swimming pool was under maintenance and, even otherwise, did not appear particularly inviting. At checkout, the credit card payment machine was not functioning, so we had to settle our in-room dining charges in cash, which was somewhat inconvenient.

Additionally, the rooms could benefit from better soundproofing. Noise from neighboring rooms may be an issue for guests seeking a quieter stay, especially if adjacent rooms are occupied by louder groups or families.

Excellent
Pros:

Wonderful 2 nights stay at this hotel, Staff is extremely helpful, room is clean and spacious, views from room to the Kandy lake are magnificent, and the best part of this hotel is the restaurant, we had B&B, breakfast was excellent with decent variety, we had dinner and the food was just perfect, seafood salad,fried calamari and seafood Tempura, food was so delicious and very reasonably priced noting that we were given also a 15% discount with our booking for food and drinks, after dinner we had a blueberry cheese cake from the hotel connected cafe and it was also perfect.
I highly recommend this hotel for a nice stay in Kandy as the hotel is a very short walk from Kandy lake

Cons:

Nothing

Great stopover hotel or just spend nights at not a holiday destination.
Pros:

The family suite was large with double bed and further two beds in balcony. It was in walking distance from the centre of kandy. The staff as always were helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The hotel is a great stopover hotel but in my opinion not a holiday hotel. I really missed a community area such as a bar or lounge. It does have a swimming pool but its in basement but you end up just being stuck in bedroom.

Never again
Pros:

We had a terrible experience on airport transport service they send inexperienced driver who got lost and we ended up in airport again to find private driver. Lost more than 2 hours to reach hotel and they were sensing message for late arrival charges. Absolute dissatisfaction

Cons:

It wasnt clean, had other’s hair everywhere including towels. Has the same hair issue in breakfast which was fixed menu not a buffet. I wasnt hoping a prime service for such price but prices were not high for Kandy anyway.

Wonderful lake view one night stay
Pros:

Location and room was fantastic
Staff were so great like anywhere in Sri Lanka
View of the lake and the city is really beautiful

Cons:

It was quite noisy on the early morning from street traffic. Then some school drumming which was at least in temp :-)
The beautiful view and the wide room completely worth it, but one should know to decide

Excellent.
Pros:

The location was excellent, very convenient for all attractions in Kandy. Breakfast was excellent . The best was the staff. Very helpful attentive and very prompt with helping with any issues we had. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable stay for a group of 7 of us. We had one family room and two double rooms . The view from the family room was beautiful looking at the lake,
Definitely could recommend for any travellers looking for peaceful convenient location when travelling to Kandy.

Cons:

Few minor maintenance issues.
