  • 5/5 Shakya A. 1 year ago on Google
    The Inn is situated very conveniently in the centre of Kandy with the highlight of my stay being its really helpful and friendly staff. Despite booking a room of a lower tier, the establishment was gracious enough to upgrade my booking without any extra charge to a deluxe room. That was really unexpected and I appreciate that gesture a lot. The two receptionists were very cordial and professional. Many thanks to Mr. Joshua for taking care of my brief stay and tending to my requests. I've previously dined in the cafe and I have to say that the menu items have never been disappointing. A top establishment with immaculate staff and very reasonably prices. 5/5 πŸ‘πŸ»

    Very central located. The rooms are very small size but that's definitely enough for 2 nights. It was very clean. The only negative point was the very bright room, due to the curtain and the very thin walls. We had neighbors who were very loud around midnight and we could hear any word of them. The breakfast was very nice and the staff amazing!

    One of few places in Sri Lanka that you can get iced coffee. It is more like a dessert, but still tasty.

  • 5/5 Chathuranga S. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 45 reviews New
    Great Hotel with reasonable price and great hospitality. Wash rooms are very clean and with hot water. Rooms also very clean and well maintained. But there was an issue in room number 101. It has a open window even without a curtain. As they mentioned it's tinted as no one outside can see the room. But I doubt there is a chance. Which can make you uncomfortable. I asked about this from the staff and after that they covered it with papers.

    Great place, good food for reasonable rates. Located close to Temple of the Tooth. The rooms were quite big comparing to most of the hotels especially considering the location of the hotel. The only issue is parking. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Frosty Anti R. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 7 reviews New
    I loved everything about the property, the staff, the room, the service, it was all exceptional and worth the money. We had a lot of plans to travel out but the room and bed was so comfortable we ended up sleeping well. It’s also a few meters (5-10min walk) from all major landmarks like the Temple of the Tooth Relic, Kandy Lake and KCC. We requested a late checkout because our train was in the evening but unfortunately they were fully booked but they were so nice to let us leave the luggage at the concierge while we went out to look around the city until it was time. They also have an amazing cafe downstairs, with the cleanest rest rooms too.

    Excellent service, all food was freshly prepared and very tasty. The place is very clean and it's a pleasure to be here. Unobtrusive calm music. Been here a few times and have always been satisfied. Highly recommend! I want to say a special thank you to the manager Ashan! Incredibly positive, friendly and very competent employee. We are grateful for his kindness!

  • 5/5 Anca C. 2 years ago on Google
    The hotel is located in the city center. Very convenient to reach the lake, the train station, the temple of the tooth in just a few minutes. The rooms are large and air conditioned, clean and nothing is missing. We stayed 2 nights and on the first night there was a sound of water. We sent it to the team and they immediately changed our room. I really appreciated the fact that they showed interest. I recommend this hotel. Professionals and kind

  • 5/5 natasha f. 5 months ago on Google
    Greta location close to the tooth temple and right in town. The town does quieten down at night so no issues with noise for sleeping. But we did change from the 1st floor to third floor due to our initial concern of the noise. The staff were very accommodating which was appreciated. Did not try the cafe itself.

    We stayed two nights at cafe aroma which is situated in the centre of Kandy. The rooms were well kept, air conditioned only downside are the lack of outdoor windows. The food however was excellent, I will think about that Kottu for a long time. The staff were really attentive and kind, thank you to everyone! I would recommend staying here for a more affordable and well located stay.

    Cafe Aroma Inn is a family favorite and one of my go-to dinner/lunch spots in the Kandy town. From the ambiance to the menu, this place is an ideal location for a nice meal with your family or a quick bite with your friends. I dined in with my family recently and had a pleasant dinner, while Ashan and the team at Cafe Aroma Inn were very attentive to our requests and went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable!

    One of the best city hotels in Kandy. Located in the middle of busy Kandy city. Walking distance to all major attractions and business centers etc. Restaurant at the downstairs is a bonus to have a good meal.

    The hotel is in a perfect location, right in the middle of town. 2 min walk to Temple of the Tooth, the lake & mall. Nice coffee shop downstairs. Gayan helped me find a new computer & made sure I had everything I needed the whole time I was there.

  • 5/5 Kasun A. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a night stay at Cafe Aroma Inn. It was really a nice experience. The team was so friendly and quickly addended to meet my requirements. The room and the facilities are worth for the price. Room was clean, tidy, and hygiene. If you are searching a place to stay near Dalada Maligawa, I think this will be the best choice in 400meter radious. Unfortunately I couldn't take meals from them. Hope it also would be a super super one. Highly recommended!

    I would rate it excellent if they have parking facilities available. Situated in one of the busiest roads in Kandy and it's really annoying when you have to find a parking slot at a side of the road. Parking is not free and the Municipal Council charges you for the parking duration. Best to select if you do not travel by a private vehicle. Except this, everything else (Food, Rooms & Location) is perfect.

  • 4/5 Fahim A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good rooms at the center of Kandy town, easy to move around places and a very comfortable location for shopping and site seeing. Rooms can be a little costly during the seasonable period and decent room sizes. The city view doesn't have an elevated rooftop, you could see the roads and streets from the deluxe room.

  • 1/5 Silvia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Arrived to the bedroom, 3 minutes after a MOUSE makes an appearance. We had a normal bedroom, spacious and two double beds. After waiting for more than 1 hour, they gave us a new room: you would think we would get an upgrade after having a horrible mouse in the bedroom, BUT NO! They moved us to a TINY box WITHOUT WINDOWS, and two single beds. Not ok! I had to complain to get some money back. But I should just have left and not stay there, as I didn't manage to sleep at all.

    Great hotel, very clean and centrally located. Restaurant is also recommendable, price performance is good and the quality was great. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We were served by Pabasara, who also provided us with useful tips on activities in the region and traveling in Sri Lanka. Thank you for your support and the great stay!

    Great stay at aroma Inn yesterday, very kind and considerate staff. We also had an issue where we accidentally damaged the door in our room (completely our fault) and the manager dealt with it with dignity and respect. Couldn't recommend more, and had fantastic service all the way through our stay!!

  • 4/5 Safia K. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 3 reviews New
    Staff were friendly, caring and helpful. Especially, Ashan, who was attentive and went out of his way to ensure that my stay was comfortable. Hotel room was clean and spacious. Fresh towels given each day and rooms cleaned daily. Room included the following amenities, free wifi, toiletries, safe, air conditioning, complementary bottled water. Hotel in a convenient location; 15 minutes from Kandy railway station. Nearby attractions include Kandy Lake (5 minutes -walking distance) and The temple of the sacred Tooth Relic (10 minutes -walking distance)

  • 5/5 Shelu K. 7 months ago on Google
    I was looking for a good restaurant in Kandy to have a good coffee. Cafe Aroma Inn is the best choice. It is beautiful and clean. The vibe is awesome and calm. The cappuccino was excellent and the burger was delicious. Specifically Mr. Pabasara was very good in his service. I'm really appreciate his caring service.

  • 1/5 Lili T. 2 years ago on Google
    I went there and wanted to book two nights. They were booked out,but they said they will cancel one reservation for me. So be aware when booking that you could end up on the street! P.S. went to another hotel!

The calm and clean ambiance further enhanced the overall dining pleasure, making it an excellent choice for a satisfying meal.

  • 3/5 Madusha D. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly and nice staff. Rooms were clean. Bed is quite comfortable. But if you are looking for hot water shower you will get disappointed. Overall hotel is okay.

  • 2/5 Tithira Pathirana οΏ½. 1 year ago on Google
    Good location and great staff (they really try to do their best to offer a good service) However, during the night I spent here I noticed that the cleanliness of the room was well below average. There was pieces of hair on the bedsheets and in the washroom, the square pillows kept in between the regular pillows smelt bad (I believe the covers on these pillows were not changed in a long time) and the tea cups did not smell hygienic to use. I feel that housekeeping is more or less ignored.

  • 5/5 Hirushi B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had accomodation for two days. We loved the place very much. Located in the city itself so easy access to any location.

    We were trying to find a good place to take dinner almost midnight at around 10 pm.. There were no good place opened and found this place. Prices are kinda expensive but reasonable.. Portions are not that big but tasty.. So good food? Yes. Good vibe? Yes.

  • 5/5 Mia I. 9 months ago on Google
    Loved the food and the ambience! Great place overall :) the waiters were friendly and polite and Suresh was extremely helpful and ensured our family dinner was memorable. Thank you all so much for the 5* Service.. Will definitely come back :)

  • 5/5 Sophia K. 9 months ago on Google
    I had actually only booked two nights here. Since I felt very comfortable in the room and didn't hear anything from the loud Kandy, I stayed a total of four nights and was able to explore a lot in the area. The breakfast can be improved and took a bit too long for me, but I was always served very friendly and I was helped with every problem. The beds are very comfortable and the air conditioning worked without any problems.

  • 5/5 Priyanga J. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ying Qi H. 1 year ago on Google
    I was travelling with my friend and got off from a bus, we took some time to walk to the hostel, but nevertheless the staffs were very welcoming and helpful. Great stay and strategic location near the Sri Dalada Maligawa and Kandy lake. Price is reasonable and it came with breakfast!

  • 4/5 Greg T. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed here. It was clean, the staff are very helpful, we had a balcony and it had air-con and hot water (some places near by don’t have this). It was also a good price.

  • 4/5 MACRI O. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 1 review
    The room was spacious and super clean. We loved the hot rain shower, with equipped bathroom. I slept very nicely with lot of soft pillows. And you have a TV with HBO family and many other channels. But the BEST was the staff ! So welcoming, nice, smiling and helpful. They booked me a pick me so I save money, directed me to their shop for a good money exchange, answered all our questions. Ashan, from the staff, took personal care of us. And the location is sick to visit the temple of the tooth relics and world Buddhism museum, which I highly recommend.
