    Where do I even start... If I could put 0 stars I would. So glad we only stayed 1 night. When we first arrived the staff were unprofessional making me feel uncomfortable as they kept staring at me and making comments. The room was absolutely nothing like the photos, it smelt of mould, there was marks and chips all over the walls including damp. The bedding had stains and holes all over it. There was no security in the room only a little bolt on the door. Then when we checked out in the morning they tried charging us for dinner which we did not have turns out it was another guest that had changed rooms from the one we had - that says it all really! They said they didn’t have any change when we paid for the room and was faffing about looking like they didn’t even know how to do their jobs, asked us to pay by card then then miraculously they had change. Wish we’d have read more reviews before booking this place as most of them say the same also including them making other young girls feel uncomfortable!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

    From the start when I booked our family room to end it was very pleasant.. Lovely specious rooms with all amenities. Very close to kandy city. We depart so early and they were super kind to give us breakfast boxes to each. With delicious sandwiches and fruits. Owner and the staff must have 10/11. Kandy city view hotel exceptional at that rate.

    This hotel is very good in terms of service they provide, staff is very caring and helpful. Good rooms and brake fast If you get lake view room then it is money Worth. My favorite is 205 which has a best view of Kandy lake n Tooth Relic Temple.

    The room looks just like in the pictures: really clean, spacious and nicely arranged. The view from the balcony is amazing. Beds are comfortable and large, perfect for a good sleep. WiFi works perfect. The bathroom is very clean and modern. The staff, really nice and helpful, always with a smile on their faces. On the last floor, there is a pizza place with really good pizza (you can order in there and they will bring the pizza to your room). The breakfast is nice and has plenty of options and it is served in the pizza place aforementioned, where you get 360 degrees view of Kandy.

    Rooms at Kandy City View is fairly decent with AC, fan and hot water. However, it lacks safety mechanisms. Our room didn't have bottled water but there were tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was standard toast, eggs, sausages, butter and jam with some fresh fruit. Overall, our three day stay was comfortable. The hotel is located with easy access to the Kandy town. It is in walking distance to most of the restaurants and Kandy City Centre (KCC)

    A really nice, peaceful and clean hotel. The staff are kind and well trained, they are willing to give you a hand in all that you need. They booked us a tour to see the elephants in a private car. (5000rs) Breakfast was good, omelet with sausages, toast, fruit etc. The room was really clean, comfortable and had an incredible view over the lake in Kandy. Bathroom was simple but functional. No daily cleaning service, despite saying it has this on their website. This meant that we had a problem with ants going into the rubbish to eat a banana skin. Air con was ok, we hardly used it as it was cool. And the room was well aired. Would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for s relaxing stay in Kandy. Can’t get much better than this.

    Kandy City View came as a savior for me. I originally booked the Kandy City stay but due to Agoda messed up. They were offering us a different room which we didnt want to take. So after searching for a place last moment in the evening, we found this. Although you may not see good sceneries from that place, it is at a quality location. You have big hotels nearby. They have a popular pizza place called Vito pizza at their terrace. They provided us with everything we requested. Helped us find vegetarian places to eat. Served pleasure break fast. Entire location is decorated with beautiful paintings. Kandy Lake is at a walking distance.

    Brand new rooms with all modern amenities and a beautiful view of the Temple of Tooth and Kandy Lake. It was at a walking distance from Kandy city and was totally value for money. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Amy S. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely place and great views just outside of city centre. The rooms are a good size and clean. Location is close enough to the city to walk, but far enough away that it's quiet and you can relax. We were picked up from the station by the owner, who was really friendly and organised a driver to take us to an elephant sanctuary, tea factory, temple and botanical gardens for 5000 rupees. Looking back, I would have just spent the entire day at the elephant sanctuary. The rest was ok but nothing special. Breakfast here is pretty good, a choice of scrambled egg or omelette with sausages, toast and fruit. The terrace where it's served looks out over the city, making it a great start to the day.

  • 5/5 Samantha W. 5 years ago on Google
    Clean, cheap and recommended small hotel for visitors. Nicely maintained. Have nice view. Good location Not far from the city and Dalada Maligawa Staff are friendly. Helpful They provide towers, soap, bed sheets. We stayed 203 family room. Very good for a family of 5 adults. They have pizza for dinner and bread jam etc for breakfast. My priority is this when I visit Kandy again

  • 4/5 Buddika A. 6 years ago on Google
    Stayed in the hotel for a one night better than a average economy hotel. Room is very spacious and clean linens were fresh and clean, bathroom was very tidy. Soaps,shower gel and fresh towels were available, hot water and air-conditioning is working as advertised. Staff is very polite and friendly but they lack the professionalism of the well trained hotel staff. They served a very basic English breakfast but the food is very good and hygienic . Only downside is lack of over night parking and lock of my room is broken and door is not closing properly , so no way to lock my room at night it was little bit unsettling. Overall it was a good experience.

  • 5/5 Leah H. 6 years ago on Google
    Pleasantly surprised by my stay here. The room was lovely. The staff were super friendly. The view was nice but not spectacular. It was a surprise to see monkeys on my balcony also. It's not too far from kandy lake also which is a beautiful walk. The breakfast which included omelette and sausages was very pleasant. It's a bit out of the way but I'm very glad I stayed here.

    Cool place for a low cost. It would be great if they can add a table and some chairs on the balcony for family rooms. Everything else is perfect. Good breakfast as well. Very Peaceful.

😠 AVOID. SCAM. We got there at 7:30pm. It was already very dark. The place is very difficult to access, specially at nigh with low visibility. 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...
