Marvel Hills Kandy Reviews

Wonderful stay. Friendly owner and staff. Beautiful view and close to the town. Miss the beautiful dog too. We stay here 2 nights. Very peaceful and serene.

Mixed bag. Very quiet and peaceful, and has a kitchen and washing machine. Big plusses. However the pillows are the worst ever and made sleep difficult. The slope is steep and if you have mobility issues, do not stay here. The shower water pressure is low and the sofa bed wasn't made up and prepared. The host was very friendly, but no towel change or bin empty in 3 days. That's poor. Kitchen has big mosquito issue.

We arrived to our property late in the evening, so we’re very tired. Our host was very kind and friendly. The property itself is like a large home on a hill with various rooms. The view is lovely and the property is beautifully decorated both inside and out. Breakfast was delicious and included both Western and Sri Lankan food.

A short tuk tuk from the bus and train station took us to the property. Access to the reception area and room is up a very steep, short hill, which we knew, and should you need help with your luggage this is available. The view from our balcony was beautiful and the possibility to sit outside and relax with a little outdoor kitchenette was a terrific bonus which we enjoyed. A full sized fridge freezer, with complimentary tea, coffee, creamer, cutlery and crockery were available with a kettle and microwave. Kandy town is walkable and there is a small shopping mall ten mins away on foot. You can also reach two bar/ restaurants and a good Indian restaurant on foot close to Marvel Hills. Breakfast was varied and delicious and our host gracious, informative, helpful and available should you perhaps need to organise transport at a fair price. We very much enjoyed our stay which was peaceful, comfortable and our accommodation clean, roomy with the additional bonus of satellite TV, good aircon and excellent WiFi. Highly recommended.

What a marvellous stay! The host was really friendly and accommodating, breakfast is made fresh - a delightful way to try some local dishes. My room was nice and well equipped, it felt clean and the wifi coverage was great! Some of my previous stays the wifi was unstable. The location is fantastic, easily accessible to the Main Street, whilst tucked away in a quieter area. There is a local supermarket up the road. The shared areas and view are both equally beautiful, lush with greenery. Thank you for the lovely stay Sarath!

Good!

We stayed at Marvel Hills in January 2026. It's a beautiful place, and the villa itself is very well-maintained and green. It's just 100 meters from the road, which is great: quiet and cozy. And at the same time, it's close to amenities. The rooms are very clean and cozy. We recommend it. We arrived early at 5 a.m. and forgot to let them know we were arriving early. We called on WhatsApp, and the owner answered. He checked us in without any problems, no extra charge. He was very nice and attentive. We loved everything!

Convenience of check-in: The owner is very welcoming and friendly. Safety: Located alone halfway up a mountain, with only one access road and a large dog guarding the house, providing a high level of security. Amenities: Fully furnished with home-like amenities, including a washing machine. We cooked our own meals here.

I recommend. Good hotel, very green territory, attentive, friendly owner of the hotel, I liked everything

The price was cheap. Since we were leaving late at night and needed to leave the next morning, we chose a budget-friendly guesthouse. The courtyard was very well maintained. Our family room had a bedroom, a small living room, a kitchen, and a small balcony. The kitchen was fully equipped with various appliances, but we didn't get a chance to use them. The dining area had a very open view. We saw some long-term European and American tourists in other rooms. Their rooms had small terraces outside, where they could leisurely read in the morning – quite comfortable. There were also downsides. The slope leading to the courtyard was very steep, requiring us to park the car downstairs and carry our luggage in, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, the breakfast was a bit expensive, so we opted to eat at the hotel to avoid the hassle. The food was okay, but not great value for money.

A great view of the mountains. A supermarket and several restaurants are within walking distance. You are also close to the city. Organized a great tuk tuk tour through the whole of Kandy. And the cutest guard dog😍

Great choice. Friendly staff. Everything was great.

Excellent accommodation in a quite area away from the madness,but close enough to where you want to be....Beautiful house he has made welcoming by his furnishings and his demeanour.Very dapper person who oozes appeal to everyone without encroaching in your space,serves a lovely fresh breakfast for a small fee and has great recommendations....look no further

I Visited this lovely place in the middle of september 2024. Gorgeous view from the homestay, and from the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the sweet owner, and had some juice while smal talking about my trip to Sri Lanka. The appartment was Nice, and perfekt for me for the 4 days I spent there. There was a kitchen with refridgerator, and washing machine. Great breakfast with variations everyday. I might Come back to stay here again :) Around 10-15 Walk to the city, Nice Walk Down the Hill.
