Brilliant, characterful, renovated old property; great food; great pool; great service. Occasionally innapropriate music. Perfect antidote to the bustle of Kandy town. Stay 3 days at least! More

, set in the shade of yet another verandahAfter the hectic scrum of Kandy this hotel seems to be an island of calm elegance. As you come down the drive you approach a splendid old pre colonial house and you pass through a colonnaded entrance and into an inner courtyard off which are the bedrooms, ours having access to a...

We could not have had a better experience at the boutique hotel. The hotel is perfectly situated just outside of Kandy, the facility, a converted mansion, is beautiful and intimate, and the service is second to none. The kitchen is excellent, particularly the Sri Lanka curry dinners. This is a "must-stay" for anyone traveling to Kandy. Furthermore, for any transportation... More

Every room in The Kandy House is unique, its theme and decor being based on an indigenous Sri Lankan butterfly. The rooms don't have numbers, they are named after these butterflies. Our room was lovely, at the back of the hotel, and decorated in that wonderful rich turquoise color that only Sri Lanka and India can do without it looking... More

We had two nights at the Kandy House, and it was absolutely incredible. We were welcomed into this opulent colonial home with a passion fruit cocktail, and immediately fell in love with the place. Most of the rooms are arranged around an open central courtyard, along colonnaded walkways. Downstairs is a bar area and an outside restaurant, again under a... More

We have just had two beautiful nights in kandy house with our 12 year old and stayed in two interconnecting suites i think named black raja and monkey puzzle. Both suites were beautiful and large however it was the service and the actual hotel that made our stay so good. The photos on tripadvisor have not captured how pretty this... More

Everything about this place was great, except our room which was poor. We had the dreaded Lime Butterfly room, mentioned in previous reviews, and it was really disappointing. I can understand why they do not feature this room on their website. It was small and pokey and, compared to the other rooms, very drab. If you are staying here, I... More

We stayed in the Indian Admiral suite, and were seriously impressed! The room was very spacious and beautifully decorated and has its own area on the varandeh where we enjoyed romantic meals for 2. All the staff were hugely helpful and friendly, and they arranged for us to have a cookery demonstration at the hotel, of a typical Sri Lankan... More
