We loved our stay. It felt like a little treat for us as we have been booking cheaper accomodation. It was right by the lake which was perfect and the breakfast was amazing! Bed was comfortable and we commented that the room and bathroom were very clean. Staff were helpful especially with carrying our bags up the stairs and steep drive!

Kandy is a lovely town but quite spread out so choose your hotel with care. Transport is very cheap though and readily available. The roads are busy and the bus drivers bonkers! It is a good base for seeing other attractions.

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.

We stayed at Elegant Hotel so we could have a rest day during our trip around Sri Lanka, followed by a day looking around Kandy. It proved perfect for both. The pool area is beautiful and ideal for lounging and the surroundings are very quiet. For our sight-seeing day it was about a 30-minute drive to reach the centre of Kandy but that was fine for us as we spent the day there before returning to the hotel. The staff are also very polite and helpful and we appreciated our welcome drinks when we arrived on the first evening.

This is a really fabulous hotel, there were repairs in the sister hotel (also lovely) that we were booked to stay in, so we stayed in the villa apartment across the street. The hotel was beautiful and clean, and the staff were wonderful and always on hand to help. Wonderful shower, amazing view from the balcony, and in a great area to explore the city. The pool was also really wonderful with a rooftop view of Kandy! Definitely the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka 💖

Beautiful Geoffrey Bawa designed house now a small boutique hotel perched on a cliff top overlooking Kandy city with spectacular views. The staff were very helpful and kind. The Managers father cooked us a traditional Sri Lankan dinner which was really delicious. Highly recommend. They also have a tuk tuk drier to take you into town which is just 10 -15 min drive.

The cleanest hotel we've stayed in in Sri Lanka. Spacious rooms and freshly furnished. It is located on the hills of Kandy away from the noise of the city with a beautiful view. The staff were super friendly and helpful - both on what to see in Kandy and to organize transport for us. Would definitely recommend.
