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.

Exceptional service, staff and location. The food is exceptional .. Indika and his team are master chefs! The property is beautiful and well maintained surrounded by amazing wildlife with some of the best views in Kandy. The place is also a peaceful retreat from the bustle of Kandy town but not too far away from anything. The staff are all amazing and went out of their way to help us which made us feel like staying with family ….we can’t wait to return again and stay at this magical place. Thanks to Joel and his team we miss you already!

The rooms were 5 star worthy with a beautiful view, size was really nice and the staff had been super friendly and nice. The breakfast buffet was good with a big selection. For dinner there was live music. The dinner buffet on a Saturday was offering a wider selection of food.

My partner and I spent two delightful nights at The Kandy House in Kandy, Sri Lanka, where the blend of beautifully maintained colonial architecture and luxurious grounds immediately caught our attention. Pradeep's attentive service stood out, ensuring our stay was comfortable and memorable. The exceptional Sri Lankan cuisine offered an authentic taste of the local culture, while our room provided a serene, elegantly appointed. I highly recommend The Kandy House to anyone seeking a blend of luxury, culture, and personalized service.

Beautifully located on the lake, elegant hotel with spacious, luxurious rooms. Small swimming pool on the roof is well maintained. One of the staff came to bring us towels when they saw us go out. Very nice dining room. Efficient A/C. 15 minute walk around the lake too the Temple of the Sacred Tooth and to the city centre. Superb little hotel.

Fantastic hotel, the location, beautifully kept, great atmosphere, lovely feeling about the place and the views are superb. The minute you walk in you are greeted by smiling helpful staff. The general manager Upul leads in this respect and is attentive to everything. The restaurant staff are wonderful and the chefs superb. Best meal we have had in India or Sri Lanka. I would give this hotel 6 stars if I could

This was our first hotel on our road trip to Sri Lanka and it was one of our favourites. I highly recommend the penthouse, which is huge and has an incredible view. The service is top quality and personalized, with the manager and staff taking care of everything for our family, even with a baby. The breakfast is one of the best we've had in Sri Lanka.

if you want to pretend you’ve won the lottery and been whisked into your luxury new house fully staffed then this is the place for you! it was a house that’s been converted into a hotel so has a very polished feel. you can’t help but imagine how you’d lit the place out of it was your home. the view is gorgeous from the room and the lobby. and the staff were very attentive and friendly. it’s a perfect romantic getaway if you want a chilled and luxurious experience. the bed was AMAZING!

The staff are very friendly, especially young Himaya who is a fantastic asset to the hotel. I have stayed in many 5 star chain hotels and they can learn a lot from a place like the Queens Hotel.
