Kandy City Stay

The room was big it good for backpackers

I used my tried and true formula of close to town and close to station at a good price. When you pull up this place looks pretty ordinary. My room was spectacular with a lovely view. All rooms would have this view. Mine had been styled in a retro look but the room next door that was fairly modern still had a great outlook. very comfortable, well located, easy transport option and the lovely Odel mall basically next door you're in a great spot. The top level breakfast room is delightful. Western, Sri Lankan and Indian style brekkie available, all served with a smile. My stay was so comfortable and great value!

Pathetic hotel . Absolutely nothing available what advertised . Too many bugs which they call it nature , smell in the room . I refused to stay , one thing positive they refund my money .

We stayed 5days got family room and deluxe room.Super clean and friendly staff.planned to stay 3days but extended to 5. Good food to reasonable price too.

Worst place we stayed in our entire 3-month journey. It’s old, smelly, dirty (also for Sri Lankan Standards). AC did not work properly. Looks nothing like in the pictures. We ordered our (in the rate included) breakfast at 7:30am (earliest possible) but when coming to the restaurant there was absolutely nobody. Also reception was empty. We tried to find someone (also searching in the kitchen which was utmost disgusting, so we were kind of glad we did not get food), but could not find anyone besides a housekeeper with zero English. We also could not ask for a discount for the non existent breakfast we paid for, because as said, nobody was at reception either so we just had to leave. Believe me, don’t. ever. go.

We stayed here as a 1 night stopover whilst back packing south to Ella. The staff were friendly and check in was very quick and easy after a long drive which was great. The room was fairly basic but had everything we needed. The air con wasn't working so the staff were quick to move us to another room which we really appreciate. In terms of the surroundings it is a few minutes walk from Kandy train station which was perfect for us. The only negative for us was that the room did not have any proper windows, and there were curtains covering a glass wall which would explain why we could hear voices as if they were very close by, so soundproof wasn't the best if you are a light sleeper! Overall this place was great for our needs.

This was the second time that we spent here and it has been amazing as always. The food was delicious the view was amazing and specially eventhough it is located ryt in the city there are no noise disturbances and is very peaceful for a getaway. Higly recommended.

The service provided by the staff of Kandy City is excellent, the hotel itself is a little dated and the picture isn’t actually the hotel. But for a budget option my partner and I were happy. Breakfast was super filling and generous. The hotel is an awkward spot but a close enough walk to the lake and shopping areas.
