Pros:

A beautiful view of the lake and tooth temple from the suite room. Staff were wonderful and did their best to resolve problems. Plenty of lovely bakeries very close for breakfast

Cons:

There was a problem twice in our 4 night stay with the hot water staff worked hard to resolve the issue but it could be frustrating if you had time restrictions

Pros:

Right in the center of Kandy, makes it easy to walk everywhere. The location is a bit up the hill and thus you can escape the intensity of the city of Kandy.

Cons:

Be extra careful when trying to get there by car.

Very pleasant stay - would recommend
Pros:

We stayed for 2 nights at Lakewood Residence on arrival in Kandy. Our first room was a basement room - smelt rather musty, but was comfortable. We were moved for our second night (without request) to a lovely room on the floor above. We enjoyed our stay both nights, and location is great. Breakfast was the best we ate in Sri Lanka - lots of options and everyone loved it. Staff were lovely- helpful and always available. Kids loved the pool. A very good experience overall.

Piscine sale. Des matelas qui traînent dans le couloir... La première proposition d'une chambre aveugle
