Stayed here for 1 night but it was absolutely delightful! The staff was very hospitable, the amenities were great, loation of the hotel relative to the scenic view was fantastic, breakfast was amazing (with so much variety), room was decent sized and clean too. Got upgraded so appreciate that very much. Gave us nothing to complain about. 10/10 and would highly recommend.

One of the most impressive entrances I’ve seen and a very pleasant check in. Pool area very good, with a shaded area. Pool bar great for food and drinks with cracking staff. My single room was good, a few maintenance issues compared to the rest of the hotel. About a 20 minute walk down a steepish hill and a typically busy road, with shops and eateries, to the lake. Highly recommended.

People were nice but not willing to help, But they did not honor my breakfast inclusion in my stay. I even checked out early to stay at a different hotel.

The staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful. The breakfast buffet was very delicious. I personally loved the vegetable samosas served on Thursday morning. I also love how they have different variety of Sri Lankan curries in the morning. Also their fruits were ripe and very sweet. The only thing I didn’t like was the smell of the room when we arrived and they moved us to another room. The pool was very nice to swim in and their burger was tasty. Their laundry service is quick and very tidy.

Looks good in the photos but the condition of rooms were very different. Very smelling wash room, which we realy put off and noisy air conditioning couldn’t get any continuous sleep. We do not recommend this place as our overall experience is very poor.

I only stayed one night at the Grand Kandyan and only wish it could have been longer. From arrival to departure the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. I really enjoyed the buffet evening meal and also breakfast. If you visit Sri Lanka this is the place to stay.

Very enjoyable stay. All the staff were really helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious with nice views from the balcony over looking the city and hills. Rooftop pool was well maintained and I thought the gym had everything I needed. Breakfast and dinner had a wide choice of foods. I would definitively stay here again.

Wonderful hotel. Staff were so friendly. Views from our balcony or the swimming pool area were incredible. Quick walk to town, lake, temple, etc. But very steep hill on the way. Overall, a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend.
