Castle Hill Bungalow by Seven Angels

Excellent view of the Kandy Lake, great English style breakfast, top class accommodation with friendly hosting by the manager. If you come to Kandy, you must choose this hotel, no cap~

We had an amazing stay at Castle Hill in Kandy as a family of five. This was without a doubt one of the most beautiful places we stayed during our trip. The hotel is absolutely stunning, with beautiful rooms that were comfortable, charming, and perfectly suited for our family. The views from the hotel were the most beautiful we have experienced so far. The peaceful surroundings, together with the breathtaking scenery, made it the perfect place to relax and enjoy Kandy. The garden is truly beautiful and very well maintained. We were also pleasantly surprised to discover the swimming pool, which offers an incredible view over the surrounding landscape. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and served outside, allowing us to enjoy the amazing view while starting the day. What made our stay even more special was the hospitality. Everyone who works here is incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We highly recommend Castle Hill to anyone visiting Kandy. It is a beautiful place with unforgettable views, wonderful people, and an atmosphere that made our stay truly memorable.

Amazing accommodation, and so much better than staying at a large soul less hotel or resort. Old colonial building with a lot of character. Would highly recommend

Wonderful location with friendly helpful and welcoming staff. Excellent breakfast eaten on a terrace with a view of the Temple of the Tooth. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved Castle Hill Bungalow, and it was a real highlight of our stay in Sri Lanka. First - the location could not have been better. It is located high on a hill overlooking the lake and Temple of the Tooth, so is walking distance from Kandy city centre (about 10-15 mins walk, or a short tuk-tuk ride) but is incredibly peaceful and a wonderful leafy retreat to return to, away from the hustle and bustle below. The gardens are lush and beautiful, and the infinity pool is incredible - as you swim you look over the city, with a great view of a giant Buddha on a hill opposite. We had breakfast in the peaceful garden, listening to birdsong and overlooking the Temple of the Tooth. The bungalow itself (which has just 4 rooms) is also wonderful and full of character. It actually looks better than in the photos. We had what I can only imagine must be the best room in the place - it was absolutely huge (a triple, at the front on the left side) and light, with its own veranda (which was lovely for reading and having a cuppa). Our friends' room (a double at the back, on the right side) was nice but not as light (or as spacious). The four-poster beds were incredibly comfortable and we all slept so well there. Kettle in the rooms is also great. The staff (Chimandu, Akila and one other whose name I've forgotten) were delightful and attentive. They were very welcoming and really made us feel at home. The only downside was the gate was locked when we returned from dinner. Fortunately we knew the hotel was linked with another hotel nearby so we asked them for assistance. A note for management: it is worth installing a key safe or giving guests a key, or at least a phone number to call, as we could have been locked out for a long time. One other small thing is it would be helpful to have more facilities for hanging/putting away clothes (but that is a small point). All in all, a superb place to stay if you like places with character, lovely gardens, and like to be within walking distance of the city without any of the noise or pollution.

Amazing hotel. Honestly one of the nicest places we have stayed . The staff absolutely went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay. Unfortunately we were only there for 2 nights but were upgraded to the most beautiful room after the first night ( we were happy with our original room) we ate breakfast out side on the second day and evening meal was served in the beautiful dinning room .grounds and pool looked wonderful just wish we had more time to enjoy the facilities

This Villa is a beautiful property - an old Governor's bungalow, it overlooks Kandy - and the Temple of the Tooth Relic. Decorated in the Colonial style, it has fabulous gardens, and is maintained by staff that really took good care of us. We walked into town rather than take a tuk-tuk. Since there are very very rooms here, the property was wholly ours during our stay! I have to go back someday....
