1. Staffs were extremely nice and polite. Ready to serve at all times. 2. The rooms and bathrooms were extremely clean and comfortable. 3.

I was really impressed by the accommodation here - it is very modern and kept spotlessly clean. The facilities are excellent, but what makes this place special is the incredibly caring and helpful staff. They went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed, making the service feel very personal and attentive. A special mention must go to Vihan, who was so friendly and really made my stay even more pleasant. Beyond the great hospitality, I loved the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the villa - waking up to the sounds of birds and nature was a wonderful bonus that added so much value to the experience.

I can’t recommend Ceylon Ayu Resort enough. My girlfriend and I stayed here during her birthday, and the staff at the resort helped me arrange several surprises, which made her birthday unforgettable. Rodney and the rest of the staff are friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. We enjoyed the pool, a free massage, and the jungle views from the hotel. The day trip arranged by the hotel was great, and maybe the best part of our stay was the food. We asked for Sri Lankan food, and it was some of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka! The resort also offers a free ride to the bus/train station. This was really helpful, especially since our bus was canceled, and the driver assisted us in finding another way to continue our travels. I consider this stay to be an incredibly affordable option with 5-star service. All our needs were attended to, and we slept well in our beautiful room.

Kandy, often called the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, is a city that blends history, nature, spirituality, and urban life in a uniquely charming way. Located in the central hill country, it remains one of the most visited cities in the island. Kandy has a calm, scenic, and slightly old-world charm. It is less hectic than Colombo but more active than smaller hill towns, offering a perfect balance for travelers who want culture, greenery, and city convenience in one place. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) is the city’s most iconic attraction and sacred to Buddhists worldwide. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its deep cultural heritage and preserved traditions. Kandy is rich in tradition, music, dance, and ancient rituals, making it a paradise for cultural enthusiasts.

Kandy is a beautiful town with so much to see and do.

Kandy is a beautiful town with so much to see and do. It’s the perfect central base for exploring nearby highlights like Nuwara Eliya and other major sightseeing spots. The famous Kandy–Ella train ride is a wonderful experience with stunning views. Kandy Lake is lovely for an evening walk, and the local markets — especially the Sunday market — are absolutely worth visiting. The Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Tooth) is a must-see; try to go in the evening when it’s cooler and the atmosphere is even more peaceful. Overall, Kandy is a charming town that offers culture, scenery, and convenience all in one.

Our trip around Kandy was truly memorable! We loved visiting the Temple of the Tooth, strolling around the peaceful lake, and exploring the vibrant local markets. The botanical gardens were stunning, and everything was easy to reach from the train station. Great food, kind people, and beautiful scenery all around.

People advised us to have 2 days in Kandy - we would have been fine with just one. The weather did not help us it rained on and off the entire time we were there. Temple of the Sacred Tooth - tick - walk around the Botanical gardens - tick - Shopping DISMAL - Kandyan dance performance extremely touristy. I wish we had allocated an extra day for the hill country instead of Kandy, Best meal we had was at the Hideaway Lounge. Central market - awful fresh food and spices but seriously hideous tourist souvenirs. Old building needs renovation.

Kandy is an interesting historic city, with a number of must see sights - the Temple of The tooth, a walk around the lake, the Big Buddha. Peradeniya Botanical Gardens are just on the edge of the city. The market is bustling. If you are there in late July/early August you may catch the Perahera Festival - a parade of dressed elephants, fire whirlers, Kandy Dancers, Drummers and whip crackers.

The city centre is very polluted but there is a lot to see and it is worth exploring. I highly recommend taking a tuk tuk tour to visit the sights. We had an adventurous day out with Explore Kandy with Sajith Tuk Tuk Tours.

The hotel is beautifully situated on the hillside of Kandy with a marvellous view. Our room was very large, very clean and with the perfect view of Kandy. The staff are very friendly. Kogul in particular helped us with all our questions and organised the transport and an unforgettable Kandy day tour for us. He is a born host. The breakfast is highly recommended and we also had an excellent dinner. The best Hotel we had on our Sri Lanka round trip. Many Thanks to the staff of "The Summit" to make our stay in Kandy so special.

The location and the View was one of the best views I had seen from around Kandy. The rooms were all very spacious and comforting and the morning breakfast on the top of the hotel was my favourite part of the experience, getting to experience the view as well enjoy a breakfast out doors was just so refreshing in the mornings .The customer service was exceptional, the staff were helpful and so friendly. My experience was like no other and if I were to stay in Sri Lanka again I’d stay here for sure.

Rooms are very clean. Bathroom was exceptional. Good water pressure and didn't take long for hot water to click. Staff was very helpful and made my stay easy and comfortable. Location was great as it is in the middle of the Kandy city and you can walk to shops and temple of tooth. I also went to Bahirawakanda by tuk tuk and it's very short distance from the hotel too. This hotel is one of the best hotels I stayed in Sri Lanka.
