Best Hotels in Kandy
Explore Kandy from hotels near iconic landmarks, popular shopping streets, and top dining spots.
Queen's Hotel Kandy - 160 Years of Heritage & Luxury
"Hotel location is good and near to temple, staff is not responsive rather they are conning, I reached late night so I requested that I will check out around 12:30 means half n hour than their policy but they refused that your room is allocated to another person who will check in around 2:00pm. I was wondering whether to go to travel lodge or pay them extra, at that time hotel occupancy was less than 10% but they were in their own way."
Selene City Hotel
"The hotel was unremarkable overall. The location listed on both Airbnb and Google Maps was inaccurate, which made finding the place confusing when we arrived in Kandy. We thought that hotel is in the city center but was 5km away. The hotel itself is fine, but the room felt like a cheaply renovated space right next to a noisy road. On the positive side, the price was reasonable and the room was clean. Ultimately, my experience was forgettable—this is the kind of place I won’t remember minutes after leaving."
The Grand Kandyan
"Mr Aburodha working in the restaurant is very good, very professional and notice he serving a table for 10 guests during dinner time is in a very sincere manner and professional. We really appreciated for his services."
Earl's Regency Hotel
"A wonderful stay with absolutely breathtaking views. Wherever you look, you’re surrounded by rolling mountains, and the grounds are beautiful with lots of native wildlife; you really feel at one with nature. The service was exceptional throughout. All staff were attentive, kind, and genuinely eager to help. A special mention to the reception team, especially Jenovia, who was incredibly friendly and helpful, showing us around and making us feel very welcome from the start. The hotel is also very family-friendly, with a small play park and thoughtful touches like towel animals from housekeeping (Ravi) that made our little girl’s day. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice, including both Western and Sri Lankan options. A few very small improvements (such as having bacon readily available, colder milk at breakfast, and ice with poolside drinks) would make the experience truly five-star, but these are minor details. Rooms were clean and comfortable with all amenities provided, and overall the level of service really stood out. If you’re looking for stunning views, a peaceful setting, and excellent hospitality, this is a fantastic choice and one I’d happily recommend."
Sevana City Hotel
"The hotel was clean and staff was helpful. There is a rooftop resturant and pool we enjoyed. There is a refillable water area. The location was close and walkable to surrounding sites and restaurants."
Cassendra Hotel Kandy
"We want to say a huge thank you for the wonderful four-night stay. Chameera and Dilrukshi at reception, along with Isuru from housekeeping, were outstanding. The rooms were spotless, the food was fantastic, and when my girlfriend fell sick, you all went above and beyond to help. We are so grateful for your care and attention. Thank you so much!"
Marvel Hills Kandy
"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!"
Atelier Kandy - Boutique Art Hotel & Gallery
"We come here regularly for the monthly karaoke nights, which are always a ton of fun - or to spend some time in the tranquil courtyard. An absolutely lovely place. Highly recommended if you're looking for a respite away from the busy-ness of Kandy without traveling far into the hills!"
Amaya Hills Kandy
"Very difficult to reach as the road is very narrow and steep. Breakfast was good with quite a lot selection. But the coffee was not nice, tea was much better. It’s a quite old hotel, and the service was not that attentive."

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon
"Probably the best hotel on the island, with a pool and a great rooftop restaurant."
Radisson Hotel Kandy
"We didn't have much time in Kandy, and the hotel is located halfway up a hill. After resting, walking to the Temple of the Tooth was a bit tiring on the legs. Overall, the breakfast, dinner, and check-in experience were quite good."
Jetwing Kandy Gallery, A Luxury Reserve
"Jetwing Kandy – Absolutely Flawless! I’ve just stayed at Jetwing Kandy, (unfortunately just for 1 night) and I have to say, this is hands down the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at so far. From the moment you arrive, the experience is nothing short of spectacular. The welcome ceremony sets the tone perfectly, making you feel truly special. The service is incredible—I was even given a mobile phone with my own private butler, which made everything effortless. The staff are attentive without being intrusive, and there is literally nothing you could wish for that they wouldn’t provide. The views are absolutely stunning, whether from the immaculate, modern rooms or while enjoying the hotel’s amenities. Each room comes with a coffee machine and the most beautiful view, making mornings unforgettable. Food here is another highlight. The à la carte breakfast is divine, and the complementary afternoon hors d’oeuvres and evening drink service are delightful touches that elevate the stay. Every meal I had was amazing, with flavors and presentation that exceeded expectations. The hotel is located about 20min from Kandy town. It is quite secluded but perfect it you are after tranquillity. You can simply relax, have a massage, swim in the infinity pool. Bliss! I could not fault this hotel one bit—from the design and cleanliness of the rooms to the impeccable service and breathtaking scenery. Jetwing Kandy is truly a five-star experience in every sense. If you’re looking for perfection, this is it."

"Nature view and pool is superb Iron box was broken Curtains were damaged but other than that all were good"

The surroundings are lush and serene, offering lovely views that make you feel close to nature. The staff are welcoming and attentive, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. A great choice for anyone looking for tranquility and style in Kandy."
Colonial Residence Kandy Villa
"I recently stayed at colonial residence , and overall, my experience in the room was comfortable and enjoyable. The room was clean and well-maintained, with modern furnishings and a cozy atmosphere. The bed was particularly comfortable with crisp linens and plush pillows that made for a great night's sleep."
Thilanka Hotel Kandy
"A great place to stay if you enjoy a mix of bohemian and victorian vibes and decorations. The food was great; it was a bit difficult to enjoy gluten-free meals, but the chefs were very helpful in guiding us. We met Marcus, who is the lobby manager, he was very nice, friendly, and helpful with us."
Golden Sky Hotel & Wellness
"Nice, clean, new guest house! Has its own parking, which was important for us. The view from the balcony is gorgeous! The hosts are very friendly and hospitable. The bed is good, the bed is comfortable. I recommend"
Mount Blue Kandy
"This was our first hotel spot in Sri Lanka and it turned our to be our family's favorite one. Everyone including the children loved this place, from the rooms, view, service and food everything was excellent. Hotel staff from the reception till the kitchen everyone is super friendly and welcoming. View is out class 👌 Early morning if you wake and stand in the balcony you will receive fresh oxygen all around with a beautiful view of greenery all around, amazing temples, flowing river, mountains and much more. A special mention for Chef Ranjeet and Mr. Khan both are brilliant in their field. We have decided to visit Sri Lanka once again and stay in this lovely hotel. Not forgetting the fabulous swimming pool where you can chill with your loved ones and take amazing memorable pictures 📷 All i would say this is all in one a perfect place to spend your holidays whenever you plan a trip to Refreshingly beautiful Sri Lanka 🇱🇰"

"Perfect view! It is better to have 3+ floor room because of wires. Monkeys thieved my shorts from balcony so don’t leave the clothes. The hotel is on the mount so you should use tuc-tuc anytime if you have no bike. Good prices in the roof top bar but the glass was dirty and it is not ok for perfect photos. Stuff is friendly"
Hasthi Boutique Hotel
"Stayed two nights when we explored Kandy. This hotel is new, with wonderful rooms and a pool. Managed and owned by a nice family. The breakfasts were superb. One of the mighty were tempted to eat dinner too, we did not regret that. Highly recommended."
Suki Villa with free Breakfast
"Everything is fine, the hosts are attentive and responsive, the location is good, the views are gorgeous, the breakfast is not bad, the room is also in good condition, it’s perfect for a couple of days, I recommend 👍"

"Water pressure is too low. The room has a balcony but smoking is not allowed!! No toothbrush in the amenities."
Cinnamon Citadel Kandy
"Lake view. Good ambience. Dinner buffet can be better. Children meals available"
Grand Serendib Hotel
"We stayed in the family room which is very spacious to a point that the rooms looks empty. Cozy chairs on the balcony."
