This hotel needs some serious upgrades & a good coat of paint. Entrance & Reception is awful & made us want to run away! The room itself was not too bad.

This hotel has spacious rooms and lovely windows to look over the city. What was absolutely outstanding was the customer service and genuine care from staff. We needed to extend our stay on our day of check out after being hospitalised in kandy. The staff organised everything and even waited until we were discharged from hospital at 1230AM to hand deliver us our room key and make sure we got in safe.

So overall this hotel was an excellent option. My room had a great view, especially at night with the city lights against the mountainsides. The lock on the door, although it did lock, was a bit difficult and frustrating.
However, Kandy City stay does get high marks for staff and their local tours. The hotel’s (mainly elephant park) was excellent and very economical.

Nice Stay
Superbly located with beautiful views of Kandy City. The breakfast was tasty and provided a nice touch. Staff were hospitable and accommodating generally. Room was mountain view and was spacious. However, there were some mild stains on the sheet. Overall though, it was a nice stay.

The staff were so helpful. I had booked a room that was tooo big and too many beds for just one person (solo traveler) and instead they helped find me a room with a better view and more accustomed to my needs. Also having a restaurant with fantastic food on the roof is so convenient if you are tired and don’t want to meander into the city center. Great stay!

This is a fairly good hotel near to Kandy city. It costs an affordable amount. This is suitable to stay for a short duration. Hotel staff is also nice. Although there were some lacking parts in room facilities, this small hotel is not bad for a short stay.

Very convenient location
Really big and comfortable room. Nice furnishings. Great shower. Easy walk downhill to bus station and train station. easy with backpacks, maybe not roller luggage. Very friendly staff. Quick laundry service as well fora fair price. Convenient place to stay for a night if you're just passing through Kandy.

Comfortable, but extremely loud
The place is really good, comfortable, and clean. The only downside is that it's super difficult to sleep... Trains go past all through the night and a super loud.
If I'm honest, the only reason I stayed forbthe duration was because it was prepaid.

thank you for giving us hospitality
Luxury room, great facilities, excellent breakfast(i couldn't imagine how do they give all these facilities in the room). But especially: the staff was extremely welcoming and generous. their driver took us places and we hanged out with them on the top balcony with amazing view. We would definitely recommend this place if you look for something in Kandy. Thanks a lot!

Exceptional
it has been newly renovated to accommodate to travellers extremely well with wifi in every room, air conditioning (which was a must for me as I am not used to hot weather conditions since living ), new furniture and an extremely neat and crisp clean environment. The place was exceptionally well kept by the staff .The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful to me, especially since I had a lot of questions with regards to travelling around Kandy and even to other cities in Sri Lanka. The location in Kandy was also situated in an optimal point being in a safe location away from the main city. However it was also a very close distance to the urban city if I wanted to go shopping and site seeing. I definitely recommended kandy city stay to any tourists passing by Kandy! Hoping to stay here again for my next visit!
