    The rooms are pretty decent. The view is good. You get hot and cold water. There is no kettle or wifi in the rooms. The hotel manager's attitude is pretty bad and biased. He is arrogant and ill mannered against the guests. He was not willing to provide bottled water for breakfast nor juices that were provided to other guests. There are no lifts in the hotel and the stairs are narrow. So, if you have heavy luggage, be prepared to carry them up and down the stairs during check-in and check-out process.

    Nice place having amazing view on a top of mountain. In the night time have the view of Kandy City. Little away from Kandy City. But very cool and nice nature and clean atmosphere with clean and nice rooms with view of Kandy City. Friendly staff and very good food with different variety. Issue more food than the money you pay. Owner is very kind and friendly person with warm welcome and helpful to anybody coming to his place. Good value for the money you pay for what they offer.

    Perched atop a mountain, this pleasant location boasts breathtaking vistas that offer a captivating view of Kandy City by night. Although situated a bit further from the city center, the tranquil and picturesque natural surroundings provide a refreshing and pristine atmosphere. The accommodations feature clean and comfortable rooms with an exceptional outlook of Kandy City. The friendly and affable staff provide exemplary service, and the food is simply divine, with a diverse range of options available. The servings are quite generous, exceeding the value of the price paid. The owner is a kind and welcoming individual who is always ready to lend a helping hand to visitors. All in all, this location provides excellent value for the money paid, given the quality of amenities and services offered.

    If you want nice location, this hotel is good. You need a good car that can climb up to the steep road.

    What a magical location. Our amazing driver Duminda (from Authentic Sri Lanka) was aoooo good with getting there despite the narrow roads. He didn't even need to use Google maps to find this hidden treasure. Loooooved the string hoppers breakfast! Wow!! What an amazing experience that was! I'd have that every day if I could. Awesome view of the mountains in the morning. Very friendly and safe service. I'd come back again!

    This place is aptly named Change Hotel because that is the first thing that will go through your mind when you arrive there. How this place got a star let alone 3 stars is beyond me. This is not a hotel, hovel yes, not a hotel. It has not seen a coat of paint in years and is in urgent need of some renovation. The beds were ancient, the lighting dim and the location, at the end of a steep hill far far away from Kandy is just awful. Because we were trapped there due to the location we were forced to have dinner there. Kind of like prison food. Breakfast was what you'd expect from an orphanage, horrible. We did go down to the pool and ordered a beer and drinks. Once delivered the man disappeared for fear of being asked to fetch another round. I'm talking literally disappeared, nowhere to be found until much later at that night. The shower is just awful, a piddly little stream of luke warm water. Stay away, rather sleep under a bridge or in your car.

    If I could give 0 stars, I would. They are deceiving people by hiding negative comments. The location is truly at the end of a hill, and the rooms are far from what is portrayed in the images. Broken windows, damaged chairs, and a complete lack of hospitality made it a frightening experience. Within minutes of checking in, we hastily moved to another hotel, deeply disappointed by the big contrast between Google images and our firsthand experience.

    We were there in a group of 15, and greatly enjoyed the pool, the friendly and warm atmosphere, supported by the host (who designed the house himself). Service was good, the view from the balconies facing the pool is great. Large rooms with private bathrooms. Recommended for larger groups (I have note tried otherwise).

    We visited The Change Hotel with my family. Spent 4 nights at the property. The environment was so calm and peaceful. Moreover, the scenery view, meaning the mountain overlooking the Kandy was absolutely priceless. Good

  • 5/5 Suraj G. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the best places to go if you need to chill from a long tenure of hectic work, the owner was so cool and we will surely make sure to visit again, the only thing we regret is that we couldn't spend more time. great view, comfortable stylish rooms and restaurant, delicious food!and... very tasty coffee! There is beautiful swimming pool too.

    A hotel with a very spectacular view over Kandy. The beautiful view alone made our decision to stay in Kandy at the beginning of 2018 easier. The staff is warm, hospitable, helpful and happy to fulfil any special request. The dinner and breakfast was very, very tasty. The rooms are perfectly sufficient for one or two overnight stays as part of a round trip. Thanks again and the best wishes for the new year 2023!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Change Hotel and was blown away by the hospitality and customer service. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. What stood out to me the most, however, was the level of care and attention given by the hotel staff. They were always available to answer any questions I had, and even went out of their way to provide personalized recommendations for local activities and restaurants. Overall, my experience at The Change Hotel was nothing short of exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay.

    I hade been at the Change Hotel for an overnight stay with my family. The place was cozy, cool and comfortable especially the view of the city from the swimming pool area. I love the simple decor and the warm hospitality. Rooms were neat and clean and pretty well-maintained too.

    This is a superb hotel, lovely view of Peradeniya with a swimming pool. Staff are attentive and willing to help. The new rooms in the opposite building are particularly nice with the best bathroom I have come across amongst the 9 hotels I have stayed in Sri Lanka including one of the big hotel chain. Lots of steps in this hotel and it is located away from town so if you are after a quiet place with a view then I would highly recommend this.

  • 4/5 Tusita S. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice clean rooms and bathroom. Great balcony veiw. The access route to this place is winding up the hill and becomes rather narrow and bumpy towards the end. Not child safe I would say but the guy who looks after the place is very child friendly and pleasant. I felt this is more appealing to tourists. Food is also nice with set menu. The swimming pool is rather small.

    Parking at the place is very difficult. Pool is not clean. Manager is very rude, didnt communicate well with customers.
