Cassendra Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is very clean, comfortable, quiet, relaxing with good views! That staff are very attentive especially Imandha, Kasun and Padham. The breakfast buffet is just the right amount and great tasting. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer!"

Queen's Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay as a family with little kid. Rooms were clean and housekeeping was available every day. Front desk staff was very helpful and attentive. Front desk made an effort to pack us small breakfast for the road as we checked out every early in the morning. It is a beautiful property in the center of the city and in front of the Tooth relic temple."

Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts- Luxury in the Mist

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic mountain top resort hotel. Comfortable suites, great staff and nice restaurant. Access can be tricky as the road is very narrow and challenging to navigate even for local taxi and tuk drivers. But once you get to the place it is paradise on earth!"

The Grand Kandyan

8/10 Good

"The staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful. The breakfast buffet was very delicious. I personally loved the vegetable samosas served on Thursday morning. I also love how they have different variety of Sri Lankan curries in the morning. Also their fruits were ripe and very sweet. The only thing I didn’t like was the smell of the room when we arrived and they moved us to another room. The pool was very nice to swim in and their burger was tasty. Their laundry service is quick and very tidy."
