This is a hotel located from the hustle and bustle of the Kandy city. You can see the whole Kandy city from the balcony of the hotel. The Manager and staff are very cooperative and look after our interests. This is a good hotel to stay.

Not much to say, staff were decent, rooms were ok, food was not bad and owner was nice enough and very concerned about the hotels reputation, but all in all it was decent for the price. No frills but no bad points either.

We stayed here for one night the room was good. Location a short tuk tuk ride to centre. Breakfast was excellent. We arranged a pick up from the airport and the price appeared reasonable 55 dlrs but they wanted far too much for the next leg of our journey we got it for 50 dlrs cheaper from a taxi at... More

Nice hotel, located on one of the Kandy's hills. Not too far from the city center. Room are small, but nice and clean, as well as bathrooms. AC, hot water - everything is in place. Some rooms have very nice balconies with the view (on upper levels). Hotel has a rooftop restaurant, food is OK, but a little bit overpriced.

I have stayed for 2 nights in April 2012. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, can organize trips and provide advice on transportation and what to see. The room is basic, no fridge or minibar or other more-star perks, but clean and spacious and with an absolutely AMAZING view on the valley. Bathroom clean and functional. Although the... More

By my review I’d like to thank Mr. J, Kandy View Hotel manager. I’m not aware of his full name – J was the way he introduced himself. I have to say it was a good idea cause sri lankan names have one thing in common which is escaping your memory by all means, you know. J was one of... More

A great place to relax in the restaurant with helpful staff able to organise tours to suit, transport or give local advise. Good value for money if basic and would benefit from a little more up to date maintenance. That said we had no complaints from our 2 children and enjoyed the days spent in Kandy with thanks to the...

Hotel located on very steep hill. Quite a climb if walking up with backpack. Room was tiny, but nice, clean beds. No proper drainage from bathroom. Looked like some sewage was spilling out behind building. But nice balconies outside rooms on upper levels. Gorgeous rooftop restaurant, with plenty of opportunities to meet other travelers. Food was so-so, a bit overpriced.... More

We spent our first three nights of a three week trip to Sri Lanka at Kandy View, and - for the price we paid - we would find it difficult to fault it. We had one of the deluxe rooms at the top and the double aspect view alone made it worth the money. Like other reviewers, I would say... More
