A great place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of busy Kandy. George, the ever friendly chef adds character to this place. Generally the rest of the staff are very laid back, George runs around 24/7 doing all the chores.All meals were excellent. Christmas night was great until a group of girls and... More

Well if you hired a driver to take you around Sri Lanka then you will likely stay in this hotel when going to Kandy. It is about 3km away from the downtown and lake area so this is a factor in my poor rating. Therefore, if you have a driver plan on using him to drive you downtown. MOst other... More

Just as another traveller said, we booked a driver and rooms at the train station in Colombo. We had 2 nights at gem II. Our first night was not terrible. Like all stated, there was a fabulous view. It is a fair distance out, food was overly expensive and really not that good, the door to our room did not... More

It was pure luck that brought us to GemInn II, and ofcourse Anil. Great value for money, clean rooms, superb views, delicious food and wonderful people. We loved the whole package and end up staying for a week! Thank you so much, guys!

We spent two nights in this hotel. As we did not plan on spending time in the hote, besides night time,l we were looking for an economic accomodotion, so we did not bother not having facilities like tv. The room we slept in had the mosquito net, which was dirty but in good condition. The room had no A/C: there... More

We had a lovely stay at Gem Inn II. Like many accommodations in Kandy, it's up in the hills and not an easy walk to downtown (though it is walkable..it's probably a 30 minute walk and our kids were not up for it in the heat). However, it's only a 5-minute, 150 rupee tuk tuk ride to the Relic of... More

I cannot believe these positive reviews! We were booked here by a "Tour Operator" who "operates" from the office at the front of Colombo Rail Station. Beware beware beware of these people - it is a huge consortium of mates, deals, favours and commissions. When we arrived at Gem Inn, there was no room available. After a while they showed... More

Stayed in Sri Lanka for a 2 week holiday. The Geminn II in Candy was definitely the best place to stay, with clean comfortable rooms,& spectacular views from our balcony of the Knuckle Range mountains.The food was home cooked, they grew all thier own salad & vegatables, it was all organic & delicious. They treaded us like part of thier... More

If you're going to Pinnewala etc ask for "their" tuc tuc driver he is lovely and will do anything for you. We evern hired him to take through the cultural triangle, bit of a long trip... More
