    Excellent brand new hotel which far exceeded our expectations because of the lovely staff/family owners who were friendly and personable. Rooms are spacious with ac and a view of the lake, not too expensive compared to those in the area. There is a little shop for all the necessities and restaurant on the first floor with a good menu. They arranged a Kandy regional day tour which was 30% cheaper than other hotels.

    Great experience at Janora Hills, Kandy during our stay of three days. Hospitable staff, clean rooms and great views make the hotel a great choice for tourists.

    Sarath is a wonderful host and an excellent hotelier. The rooms are clean, secure and well furnished and the food in the restaurant is excellent also - especially the breakfast. The hotel itself is close to the town and a safe and easy walk. I recommend this hotel to all travellers. Edit: sold me a fake sapphire though. Had it tested on return to UK. Genuinely gutted as I thought he was trustworthy

    Quiet, clean hotel close to the city centre but away from the noise. The rooms are spacious and the staff are incredibly nice. Helped with storing luggage and arranging tuk tuks. Very good wifi.

    One of the best budget-luxury hotel in Kandy city center. Very friendly, helpful and kind staff and management. The rooms were ultra luxury for the price and the prices were so reasonable. The cleanliness and the structure is in a next level and would definitely atay again in here soon. Nothing to mention improve since all are already improved. Love the hotel.

    This hotel is very close to the Sri Dalada Maligawa. The manager and staff are very friendly and very helpful. They always take care of what guests need. They also provided facilities to make Kiri ahara for the Sri Dalada Maligawa. Appreciate the customer service. Rooms are large, super clean, and tidy with a neat arrangement. Bathrooms are also clean and fitted luxury fittings. Even though this is a 3-star hotel, it feels like more than that. Overall quite a good place for a family who is willing to visit Kandy and Sri Dalada Maligawa. Recommended safe, kids-friendly, and clean place.

    What a fabulous spot this is! The rooms are lovely, clean and equipped with everything you need. A great location with some nice restaurants around, close to the lake and only a 10 minute stroll into the city centre - perfect! Wonderful service from both the owners as well as Keeth who looks after the front desk. Thank you so much for the lovely stay :)

    Very good room, super clean, comfy bed, nice shower, recently renovated. The staff is also nice and friendly. The only aspect they could improve is the quality of the bed linens and towels, a bit in contradiction with all the rest that is new and well functional, the linens are old and greyish, weird... But overall I highly recommend this place.

    Lovely place to stay in Kandy. Walking distance from town and very clean and comfortable rooms. Our room was huge and had a nice balcony. The shower was hot and had great pressure. The best part was the staff, they were so friendly and courteous. We wanted to watch the World Cup but the channel wasnโ€™t working, so the owner came up and actually bought a special channel so we could watch it. Amazing. Breakfast was delicious too, fresh eggs, toast, and local fruit. Highly recommend staying here!

  • 5/5 R J. 6 years ago on Google
    We loved staying here, the rooms were comfortable and well furnished. The shower was amazing, water pressure better than many European hotels and a rarity on the Island. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh juices. They serve fried eggs as standard, we asked for scrambled the next day which come highly recommended! The hotel owners were so friendly and couldnโ€™t do enough to help us out. Just a couple of things would make it perfect; safe in the room (there was a lockable draw instead), and WiFi didnโ€™t work on top floor in our room but it was fine in the restaurant floor. Also, there wasnโ€™t a fridge in the room but as soon as we mentioned this they brought one right up. This is a very new hotel, so donโ€™t be put off by the low number of reviews. For the price they are charging, you will be very happy!!!

    Itโ€™s a lovely small family hotel close to city center. The room was spacious and clean with a small balcony and great view. Food was great, and I specially loved Sri Lankan dinner.

Our driver was gone by the time we got into the room and there was nothing around. We decided to stay as it was only one night but we should have gone to the...
