"[Devon Rest, the cutest hotel in Kandy]
The Devon Rest that I stayed at in Kandy, Sri Lanka was absolutely amazing!
It was cute, spacious, clean, stylish, and just so comfortable.
The breakfast had a wide variety of Western and Sri Lankan dishes, and was carefully presented.
The staff were also very kind, and I felt like a princess!
I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants to make their hotel a part of their travel memories."

"The hotel hasn't done any maintenance in the rooms in years. Our room smelled like mold, and humidity.
The shower kept changing temperature, sign of a bad water heater, and had sewage smell coming from the drainage. On our first night, the light switch in the bathroom started smoking and doing sparks everywhere - if we hadn't been there to call the reception right away, it would have been a severe fire hazard.
The location is quite good as it is right on the lake, and Is a nice walk in the morning.
The cleaners woke us up at 6.30 AM because they were slamming doors and screaming.
I think this hotel is a 3star and not 4"

"With a six-year-old child, the big bed is enough to sleep, very quiet, the bath water is a little small but enough. The scenery in the yard is very good, the opposite is the mountain, after the night, the stars are a little bit, and the family lights up. The decoration at home is elegant and I like it very much. There are two very handsome black dogs. The landlord is very graceful, the service is very intimate, breakfast and dinner are here to eat, very satisfied, the landlord will sit next to help you introduce the local food, will not help you to replace the taste. Especially the dinner is just New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve dinner of the Lankan family in the exotic country, there is no flavor, a very satisfactory stay."

"Дешевый гостевой дом. Хозяин немножко схитрил, когда разместил фото дома, где живет он сам. Для гостей есть отдельный домик, не такой красивый и темный. Хозяин вежливый, готовый помочь, но прижимистый. Например, за ту же цену за завтрак в городе можно поесть дешевле.

"There are many hotels and B&Bs on this hilltop, so the view is naturally good; the walkway is a bit musty, but the room is ok; the breakfast buffet is ok; the seafood at the rooftop dinner is not good, the shrimp is frozen; the rich people go out to walk the elephants in the morning, and prepare fruits when checking out, so that you can feed the elephants if you encounter them, which is quite interesting"

"Great hotel in the hills of Kandy. The view from my room was dreamy. Breakfast was very rich and super delicious. The host was very helpful and does everything to make the guests feel well. Thanks to her help, I could even pick up tickets for the train to Ella. Absolute recommendation for a stay in Kandy."

Amazing
EEnglish RoseMisty Hills Villa Kadugannawa boasts the most incredible view over local mountains, best enjoyed if you are taking a cooling dip in the (small, but perfectly positioned) infinity pool! My husband and I were very well looked after during our short stay. The hotel staff served lovely breakfasts, organised two dinners for us and booked a tuk tuk for a day trip to Kandy. They also surprised me with a beautiful little cake on my birthday and even sang to me! The only small points I would make is that the dinners are not actually cooked on site - and that the staff did not offer to clean or make up our bedroom during our 3 night stay. Nevertheless, much kindness and warmth was demonstrated towards us and we loved the rural position of the property.
GGuest UserStayed for one night, arrived at about 8, up to 9 work the registration bar, helped to take all the bags, with the appearance of the hotel new, somewhere else painted, somewhere something finished, the pool was completely empty, we bathed alone and there was a feeling, that it was all our villa, ordered rice with vegetables, was tasty and huge portion, the accommodation remained satisfied, was air conditioning, fan, tea, coffee, a whole water cooler, shampoo
EEissa ShamiyehAmaya hills Kandy located within scenic mountain ranges in the heritage charm of the kingdom of Kandy.The Amaya Hills Kandy has the architecture and charm and culture of the city of Kandy ruled by the last Sinhalese king Sri Vikrama Rajasinha (1780-1832) till 1815 when the British deposed him and was succeeded by Gerrge III after holding out against colonial powers the Dutch and the Portugese
The Amaya Hills reception has a Statue of the last king at the reception which is a huge open and deep balcony offering nearly 300 degrees of splendid views of the mountains
The hotel is complete with swimming pool and the breakfast and dinner we had were splendid and had many authentic Sinhalese dishes..
The rooms are open to a balcony and it is a treat to have tea viewing the magnificent mountains..
The level of hospitality matches the famed Celonese hospitality
and will be remembered for long and a must experience in Sri Lanka visit..
GGuest UserThe Good
The standout feature of The Coffee Bungalow is undoubtedly its staff, particularly Adrian, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Everyone we encountered was attentive and genuinely warm, making us feel well cared for. The food was another highlight—delicious and thoughtfully prepared. A particularly nice touch was when they packed us a complimentary to-go lunch for our train journey out of Kandy, which was a pleasant and unexpected gesture.
The Bad
The lack of air conditioning was a notable downside, especially given Kandy’s humidity. While the property has a charming colonial feel, the absence of a solid door between the bedroom and bathroom was an odd design choice. Although the toilet and shower do have louvered doors, privacy is somewhat compromised. Another issue was the challenging entry system—we found ourselves locked out one night, which was frustrating and inconvenient.
The Ugly
Unfortunately, the biggest drawback was the ant problem. While some level of bugs is to be expected in a tropical setting, the sheer number of ants, particularly in the bathroom but also in the bedroom, was hard to ignore. It definitely impacted our overall comfort.
Overall, The Coffee Bungalow has a lot of charm and some truly wonderful hospitality, but there are a few quirks and inconveniences that might not suit every traveler. If you’re prepared for a bit of rustic charm and can handle the lack of AC and privacy, the warm service and great food may make up for the downsides.

TTraveling TanHotel Suisse carries a colonial charm that takes you back in time. The food is good, offering a fair range of choices. However, the dining experience was slightly marred by some worn napkins. The air conditioning in our room was a bit loud, but it didn't keep us from having a comfortable stay. I might look into other hotels in the area next time to experience something different.

GGuest Userhad pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service and hospitality we received. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable.
The team was incredibly helpful in arranging transportation and suggesting places to visit. They recommended we attend the Tooth Relic Procession and suggested us to visit a waterfall, which turned out to be the most breathtaking waterfall I've ever seen. Their local knowledge truly enhanced our experience.
When our cab dropped us off in the mid , the hotel staff immediately came to pick us up in tuk-tuk.
The staff was consistently polite and accommodating, making us feel welcome and valued throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place where the staff genuinely cares about making your stay special. Thank you for the experience!

GGuest UserThis hotel is on the top of the mountain. The view is very good, the environment is OK, the building is very distinctive, including the decoration of the room, but the worst thing is that the hygiene is very worrying, the door is a bit old, the refrigerator is so dirty that you can't get it off, and there are stains under the toilet seat There were urine stains and hair on the bed. The bed was two beds pushed together and it was uncomfortable to sleep on. The quilt was a sheet and was too tight to pull out. It was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Fortunately, there was a blanket in the cabinet to cover it with. Regarding the food, it’s not good either.

YYOUJUNI used this hotel with a backpacker I met locally. It's a good place to sleep.
WiFi is weak on the upper floor and you need to climb the slope to go to this hotel.
However, access to Candy city was good and it was good to be able to walk on the shores of the lake. Also, I am satisfied because there was an elephant on the way to go and I was allowed to test drive.

GGuest UserThe owners and employees at this hotel are so, so lovely.
Unfortunately their hotel is not. I almost feel catfished as many of the photos highlighted the bar and pool party atmosphere. This was not the case - the pool was a decent size but in the shade and I actually didn’t see anyone in it. The pool party drinking shots I highly suspect were perhaps not a genuine source.
The same goes for the bar which is massive and attended to by several lovely young, bored gentlemen as both times I popped up (once for dinner) I was the only patron. Again no party atmosphere or even people - which is a shame as it is a big venue.
Fortunately next door was another venue for some decent cocktails and music which saved the boredom somewhat.
The bedroom was a decent size with a small fridge (but didn’t work), the bathroom was small, felt dirty, no hand soap or soap for the shower (apart from leftover previous occupants - and that was gross).
The pressure was poor making showering difficult and there was plaster on the floor from some damage - not cleaned up.
The bed was massive and comfortable with air conditioning and a fan so sleep was good.
Finally, and to repeat, the staff were lovely. Very hospitable and the location is about a ten minute walk to the Sacred Tooth Temple and Kandy Lake. So great location.
Would I stay there again - no. Would I pop in to say hello to the owners and next door for a cocktails - possibly!
