A vintage hotel with character
Pros:

Hotel Suisse Kandy has a unique old-school charm. If you like vintage hotels, classic architecture, old walls, wooden details, and a feeling of the 1890s, you may enjoy the atmosphere.

The location near Kandy Lake is nice, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. However, the hotel feels quite dated, and the comfort and facilities are not at the level of a modern hotel.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience because of the history and character, but it could be improved in terms of comfort and renovation.

Pros:

This is a fantastic hotel that oozes colonial style and history. I cannot recommend this choice more to my fellow booking bookers - it is excellent value for what you pay. The swimming pool is super, the rooms are large and airy and you can walk out from the oasis of calm property into traffic congested Kandy. Property is very well managed > enjoy :)

Pros:

What I liked, The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

What I didn’t like, The hotel is quite old, around 100 years, and that shows in the condition of the rooms and amenities. The overall feel and facilities were a bit outdated, and not very comfortable for my preference.

Best stay in kandy
Pros:

Steve and I had best stay at the hotel Suisse . Very comfortable room. Food was great, very high standard of the decorations. Very colonial. Snooker tables was added comfort for my husband. Special mention to Hansi and all the restaurant staff, front desk staff and management, all were very polite and very helpful. We both loved our few days stay and we will be back soon. Thank you.

Un lieu magnifique et historique, mais un service à améliorer
Pros:

L’emplacement était parfait, très accessible. L’endroit fait partie d’un héritage riche en histoire et mérite d’être préservé pour durer. Quand on y entre, on ressent vraiment le poids de cette grande histoire. J’y étais venu il y a 35 ans, et j’y suis retourné avec beaucoup d’émotion pour me souvenir de mes bons moments passés. La piscine est superbe.

Cons:

Le personnel aurait besoin d’une vraie formation hôtelière afin de mieux comprendre comment prendre en charge les voyageurs. L’hôtel avait loué une partie de l’endroit pour un mariage et, dès 7h30 du matin, nous avons été réveillés par de la musique dans le jardin. Le buffet du petit-déjeuner a également été déplacé dans un autre espace, sans que les clients en soient informés à l’avance.

Le chef de cuisine nous a préparé un petit-déjeuner que nous avons apprécié, et nous l’en remercions. Cependant, l’hôtel devrait avant tout veiller au confort de ses propres clients. Nous avons été dérangés et gênés par cette organisation.

Les équipements de la chambre sont très anciens. Le réfrigérateur faisait beaucoup de bruit, ce qui nous a empêchés de dormir ; nous avons finalement dû l’éteindre. Ensuite, le personnel nous a dérangés pendant environ 45 minutes pour le remplacer.

C’est vraiment dommage, car l’endroit est magnifique et chargé d’histoire, mais le niveau de service n’est pas à la hauteur. Un lieu aussi exceptionnel mérite d’être mieux valorisé par une équipe plus professionnelle.

Relaxing with laid back old world charm and service.
Pros:

Excellent old world hotel with large , well appointed rooms and charming facilities.
Great pool and gardens. Hard to fault.
Not your typical high rise chain hotel.
