    Reaching the hotel in the narrow streets on the hill might not be very easy, especially during the night.

    Amazing views from the window and nice terrace to enjoy the views! very nice breakfast and friendly staff.

    Hotel See Kandy had great views of the city. It is up quite a steep hill however that was no issue for TukTuks. Staff were very friendly and helped us organize a TukTuk to the train station. They offered breakfast but we did not take them up on the offer although it looked great! The pool is a little hidden away and we didn't use it. If you want a very quiet location with great views of the city, I would recommend this hotel.

    It is on the hill so going around specially at night is little challenge. Breakfast has limited and repeated options only.

    Very calm and peaceful stay just located at kandy lake view. Able to see beautiful sunrise. Manager of property is very helpful, arranged tour service for us. Caretaker is very helpful though they were facing language problem and not able to understand request easily. Srilankan food prepared by them was very good.

    Some parts of the room were a bit old and could do with some updating but nothing that really effected our stay. It can be a bit tricky to find as you have to turn up a fork in the road but both roads at the fork have the same name so most drivers miss the turn. Keep your maps on if you can to direct the driver when arriving or ask them to call the hotel for directions.

    Huge, spacious room with a great view of Kandy. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful, especially the man who checked us in (sorry we didn't get your name!) who helped us organise some laundry and had it back to us that evening, and also helped give directions to our driver for us. Breakfast was very nice and the staff were very attentive. We only stayed one night but wished we were staying longer. Such great value for what you get!

    Would have loved to have Sri Lankan breakfast, but the breakfast was still good and nothing to complain about.

    Comfortable bed and rooms with a very good standard and value for money. The view was stunning and the personal was extremely friendly and helpful. I had a very good stay.

    Charming Stay with Panoramic Views and Attentive Service in Kandy

    • Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Lake View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Location: Nestled in the heights, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city center, this hotel boasts a prime location with an easy 10-minute downhill walk to downtown Kandy. While it's a bit of a climb back up, the serene setting away from the usual tuktuk paths rewards you with tranquility and a unique local experience. The panoramic views of Kandy city, the lake, and the distant hills are a highlight, providing a picturesque backdrop to your stay. Accommodation: The room, albeit a bit kitschy, but charming and spacious, making for a comfortable and memorable stay. The bathroom is adequate, meeting your needs for convenience and cleanliness. Services: The service here is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay from start to finish. The staff goes above and beyond, from arranging a tuktuk to take us to the Kandy train station for our early morning journey to Ella, to catering to our every need with care and warmth. This personalized touch adds significantly to the overall experience, making you feel well taken care of. Other Notes: The only downsides noted were the pricing, which felt a bit expensive considering the hotel's vacancy during the stay, and the somewhat melancholic ambiance amplified by the misty, rainy weather. The lack of fellow guests contributed to a quieter, more reflective atmosphere, which, while peaceful, might not be everyone's preference. In summary, this hotel offers a delightful blend of stunning views, spacious accommodations, and exemplary service. Ideal for those looking to enjoy the beauty of Kandy while appreciating a more secluded and personal stay. Despite the steep return walk and the price, the experience is well worth it for the views and the attentive care provided by the staff.
