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!

you get much more than you expect in this accommodation! Amazing breakfast, big pool with beautiful view, room with air conditioning and mosquito net. You will get the greatest love from the staff, we have never experienced such an attitude anywhere else. They are happy to help you with everything and always have a smile on their face. If we were to stay again near Kandy, I would never choose any other accommodation than Kandy Bird Villas. The main thanks go to the nice young man Vihan Thenuka, who made our stay very pleasant! ❤️

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.

This was my second stay. The place is surrounded by greenery, away from the noise of the city, and I was able to relax in peace. The room had a bedroom and a dining area, and I could connect via Bluetooth to enjoy music, which made for a very private and comfortable stay. The facilities, amenities, and natural interior design were all perfect. Thanks to the warm smiles and kind hospitality of Charuka and all the staff, I felt completely at ease and relaxed throughout my stay. Thank you so much!

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! ❤️

We have already been to Swiss Residence in 2020, before covid-19. In comparison with that time the hotel has got a little beat-up, because the upstairs restaurant with a beautiful view is not functioning, the pool seems like it is not used very often, and so on. But the staff of Swiss Residence is still very high-professional! Receptionists, cleaners, waiters, movers were extremely delicate and helpful, it was a very high-level. This team made our stay quite comfortable, so thank them a lot! If I was a manager of the Hotel I would appreciate this guys. so, 4/5 facilities 10/5 staff I wish the hotel more guests in 2023 and I hope Covid-19 will never return to this place!

It is a great place to sip on a cocktail after a long day of traveling around. Overall, i must say that they deliver great value for money! Highly recommend and we would surely go again.

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.

We lived here as children. Our father taught at Zahira College. We had contacted them and they received is kindly and showed us around. We found the house where we lived and the lady there was very friendly. Our father's friend's son and daughter gave us lunch at their resort. All that was great.

We had a fantastic stay at Symphony Homes during our visit to Kandy. The villa looks exactly like the photos — modern, very clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The peaceful location was perfect, yet only a short drive to Kandy city and major attractions. The private garden was lovely to relax in, and the fully equipped kitchen made our stay even more comfortable. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, always quick to respond and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for a peaceful private villa in Kandy!

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.
