We had an incredible two-night stay with our family at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect! They generously upgraded our room free of charge, which made our experience even more special. The buffet for both breakfast and dinner offered a delightful mix of international and local cuisine, catering to all tastes. The rooftop pool was absolutely breathtaking, offering a mesmerizing and picturesque view that left us in awe. What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff—they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. We highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back again!

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon is an absolute gem in the heart of Kandy! The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming — going above and beyond to make the stay comfortable. The rooms were cozy, modern, and spotless, with extremely comfortable beds that made for a perfect night’s sleep. The hotel’s location couldn’t be better — just a short walk from the Temple of the Tooth and Kandy town. The breakfast buffet was scrumptious, offering a wonderful mix of authentic Sri Lankan dishes and international options, beautifully presented and full of flavor. The parking area was another highlight — spacious and directly connected to the lift and rooms, which made it super convenient.

Very nice hotel located on top of a hill with views of the city below. Not so close to Kandy, but if I would return I’ll stay there for sure. The room was very big and comfortable with amazing view. Staff was extremely kind and food was the best of the entire journey! They arranged a romantic dinner for us on the rooftop! ❤️

The resort is absolutely stunning. You’ll arrive on a small and tiny road in the mountains before entering the resort. The pool is absolutely stunning, the rooms very comfortable with an amazing view on the mountains. A special thanks to the staff,l especially Isuru who helped us. He has been amazing and very careful about our stay. We had flowers on our bed every single day (thanks a lot Malisha :)) the breakfast and food is tasty. This is the perfect place to rest after a trip around the island of Sri Lanka. I will definitely recommend and go back.

All five-star hotels in Kandy

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.
