I stayed here for two nights recently with my wife and found it a wonderful, restful place to enjoy some of our first week in Sri Lanka. The staff were helpful, unobtrusive and kind. The food was impeccable and the ambience was delightful. It's far enough out of the bustle of Kandy to be a destination of it's own.Though once... More

The Kandy House was not our choice of hotel for Kandy. We were booked for the Theva Residency but some unforeseen disaster at the Theva gave us a change of plans. On arrival after a fairly arduous drive from Negombo, we found that they had no record of our booking. However, the manager made enquiries on our behalf and sorted... More

We stayed at Kandy House in the Cornelian room in April 2013. In my opinion it would be hard to improve upon this hotel. The setting is stunning, you feel like you're in a movie. The hotel itself is so welcoming and beautifully designed and laid out, and our room was charming with a gorgeous bathroom. We had a room... More

It's not every holiday we get to stay in a 200-year old bungalow, and this is a stunning colonial abode with a tremendous pool set in a serene location overlooking paddy fields--it's just a shame it was too wet to use it! It is a fair bit out from Kandy, but definitely does have the 'wow' factor. The food was... More

After a long, tiring day of sightseeing in the tropical heat and humidity, the arrival at Kandy House is like a reward. Expect a wonderfully restored and maintained colonial mansion with a handful of different rooms. Dinner is good, complemented by a wine list. Drinks can be taken in a cosy corner. Breakfast is served nicely on a verandah overlooking... More

Wow, what a special place! Stunning house & rooms, exceptional service and great food. After a few days travelling around Sri Lanka this is a great place to stop for a rest. A personal butler and breakfast on our balcony made our honeymoon extra special.

We stayed here for 2 nights on 20th/21st March. The hotel is some way outside Kandy,but as compensation is set in beautiful gardens with a stunning infinity pool. The hotel is relatively small and on two levels with a very pleasant eating area on a L-shaped outside veranda. We had a lovely de luxe room with the option of eating... More

In spite of not getting off to a very good start when we arrived - our confirmed air-conditioned room was not available, Kandy House won us over with their smiling and attentive staff, and the delicious and unique environment they have created. Others have made comments about the unevenness of the food, but this is definitely in the past, as... More

My wife and I spent 5 glorious days at The Kandy House in early March this year. Our room was very comfortable (The Monkey Puzzle), all the staff were discrete but attentive; under the guiding hands of Mendis the manager. The food was delicious (especially the egg-hoppers for breakfast!) - we now know how royalty feel!
