Top Kandy Lake Hotel Reviews

Grand Serendib Hotel

8/10 Good

"A lovely boutique hotel with clean, comfortable, and well-designed rooms offering great views. The breakfast was excellent, with a good selection of food. However, dinner could be improved. If you opt for the half-board package, you are offered a limited, budget-style menu, while the à la carte menu comes at an additional cost. The dinner buffet is only available when the hotel is fully occupied. The real highlight of this hotel is its incredible staff. Everyone was warm, welcoming, always smiling, and extremely helpful, making our stay all the more enjoyable. Interestingly, this level of friendliness and hospitality seems to be very common across all the hotels we have stayed at so far. Overall, a lovely hotel with wonderful staff, although the dinner arrangements could be more appealing for guests on a half-board package."

Hotel Casamara

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and comfortable but the only let down was the AC unit didn't work but there had been a power outage during our stay so not sure if related or not. Staff very friendly and welcoming and attentive, would stay here again."

Cassendra Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Staff welcomed me at the car with an umbrella as it was raining, got a cup of coffee while waiting as I arrived slightly early. Very spacious, clean room with beautiful view over the town. Very reasonably priced."

Viyana Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place was clean, staff were very helpful, great location"

Serene Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place, beautiful views, great room"

Castle Hill Bungalow by Seven Angels

8/10 Good

"A heritage property with charm. Lovely gardens, infinity pool and common areas. Staff are friendly and do all to help. The location is elevated and a quick tuk into town or walk. As travelling solo I booked a double room and not on the larger. Whilst they are clean and comfortable with all you need I would suggest book a larger room if you can as there was no natural light in the rooms as there were shutters that were covered. It was ok as I sat in common areas to read etc. Just a heads up. Also as the room backs on to back of house areas you could hear lots of noise so recommend ear plugs. The breakfast was lovely and served in the garden area. The staff work hard perhaps a little overstretched as one person seemed to be doing most tasks and working exceptionally hard. Whilst it doesn’t have views etc the vibe of the property is a welcome change to the usual standard 4-5 star hotel that all feel the same. I would happily stay again just pick one of the larger rooms."
