セレーヌ カンディ

The hotel was nice for us as a family. The hotel itself is ok not amazing but it had a nice pool (NOT the 8 pools advertised on expedia) but we could see from pics this seemed unlikely. The view from our room was really poor of other hotels or a derelict housing area which as on a massive hill is a shame. Staff lovely as per normal. The rooms were a little old but ok. The breakfast was not buffet as not enough people staying there. Which is fair enough but we could order what we wanted and it was ok.

Hjælpsomt personale. Dejlige værelser. Vi har været meget tilfredse med opholdet.

Great place to stay in Kandy! Rooms are clean, comfortable, and shower is great. Staff are true professionals and definitely want you to have a great stay. Hotel is perched atop hill just outside of town. Plenty of nice restaurants nearby and the town is a nice 20 stroll down the hill. Staff hooked us up with a great driver for day trip to Sigiriya. Great place to stay!

Enjoyed out stay at Serene Kandy. The hotel was quiet and the rooms don't really have a view (or at least our didn't). Here are the positives - super friendly and welcoming staff. Spacious and comfortable room. Great pool area. Universal power points and plenty of them. Delicious and quality breakfast. Some opportunities for improvement - ironing boards in the room, more water for guests and the cost of the breakfast is a little on the expensive side.

Hotel was fine but we were hugely over charged for our room compared to what our children and partners paid for their rooms - such a huge difference in price for 2 different room categories. We paid 350 usd for 2 nights for massive room which we didn’t need and no breakfast and the other 2 double rooms which were very nice only cost 150 usd for 2 nights including breakfast which was a much better deal. On asking the hotel to move us to a double room they refused this although we saw on the internet that there was availability and at a much reduced price compared to what we paid. We felt cheated with the price we had to pay for our room and would definitely not recommend people to book the room for 4 people if only 2 need a bed. Otherwise the pool area was nice and double rooms were good standard. Hotel seemed to be empty apart from us which is another reason we cannot understand why we had to have such a huge and expensive room. Breakfast was not very nice at all although the staff did their best. We think everything was done in a microwave. Will definitely not be going back to this hotel ! If only they could have shown some goodwill .

Hotellet er fint nok. Værelset var ok, balkon var slidt. Men service var dårlig og ubehagelig. Vi er knap nok checket ind før Hotel Manager prøver at sælge os en aften udflugt med afgang 30 min efter vores ankomst. Vi siger nej tak og fortæller vi har brug for at slappe lidt af og se hvad Kandy har at byde på, da vi kun har én overnatning. Ca. 10 min. efter ringer vores telefon på værelset og det er manageren der vil høre om vi har ombestemt os med aften udflugten. Flere af disse situationer oplever vi under vores meget korte ophold. Man følte sig “presset” fordi de var aggressive i deres “service” Morgenmaden var kedelig. Frugt, toast og dårlig kaffe.

Lovely hotel with a fantastic view of Kandy. The staff and food were excellent and the rooms were great. Highly recommended.

Good location, rooftop pool and bar area is brilliant. Restaurant and chef are top

Excellent hotel, staff couldn’t do enough for us. Good value too as when booking I understood it was a room only deal but it turned out to also include breakfast and evening meal so it worked out at just £35/night each. Would definitely stay here again! 👍👍👍

We booked Serene Kandy despite some of the reviews on here. We are aware that we are travelling in low season and hotels are not at capacity. We had booked a room in the East Wing and so arrived there. There was a reception, closed, and a security guard who told our driver that we were not expected and to go away. We had not realised from booking that the East Wing is an entirely separate building down the road. We persisted and went to main hotel reception, where again they told us they had not got a booking for us. Finally they gave us a room, back in the east wing, which wasn't ready. We did not get any information - wifi password, bottled water etc. Dinner, breakfast and the pool were in the main wing, a 3 minute walk down a very dark, windy road where traffic goes fast. It gets dark at 6pm and we felt uncomfortable. They reluctantly offered to pick us up in a tuk tuk (heavy rain) but this service was not offered again. We had booked dinner and it must be said, food was amazing. However, be aware that drinks (including water) are extra - they kept bringing us more and then charged us. We accepted all of this, however, at 1.30am on our final night we were awoken by a very large party in the lobby of our wing. After a while, our door was unlocked from the outside. Fortunately, we had the security chain across, but it is unacceptable that someone else was given a key to our room, potentially putting two solo females at risk.

Good hotel and in hilly area of Kandy. Restaurant was also good. Road was busy enough that we could just hail a tuk tuk for 300rup into Kandy Center.

Needs improvement in room maintenance. Telephone not working, set top box not working, remote not working

My partner and I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and we were very disappointed as it is not a 4 star hotel as stated and not close to any attractions. In our opinion it is a basic b&b place which we would probably rate a 2 star. The hotel is situated quite high up the hill so it is not as close to the temple of tooth or the lake or Kandy town. The bathroom was all clogged up and it was the same in another room we were moved to on our second day. Bedside mats were towels which looked like they were not cleaned. The drivers who work for the hotel are utterly expensive so don't be fooled to book tours with them. Breakfast was basic but dinner wasn't great at all. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

As soon after checking in,we were guided to our room and on entering through the Doorway, I knocked my Leg .on the corner of the Bed ,which is quite sharp edged,resulting in my skin coming off. The cause of this happening is because the Mattress is about 6" shorter on the Left side,Right side and from the Foot of the Bed. The Hotel should warn the guests accordingly or fit out the Beds with Mattress to fit the framework. The Manager and Staff immediately got me Ice to apply on the wound and thereafter rendered First Aid.

Awesome. Great location. Scenic view. Nice comfy rooms

Charged for beers from mini bar that weren't there to begin with

Nice and clean. Monkeys on the balcony which was awesome. Breakfast was nice only because the had an omelett guy. Would stay again.

Attentive staff, good food

he hotel definitely should be categorized as three-star. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but completely outdated. I stayed in a deluxe double room and it was nothing fancy. The walls, ceilings, and floors are not soundproofed. You can hear EVERYTHING from other guests, the restaurant, and staff. It seemed like they were constantly moving furniture above me and you hear the regular slamming of doors. I had a mountain view of the building next-door under construction. The rooms aren't sealed very well. There was a large gap under my room door (I put a towel to block bugs coming in) and gaps in the sliding glass doors. They don’t provide face or hand towels. I had to request when I first arrived and only got one in the two nights that I stayed. They don’t have duvets or comforters. You’re only left to cover with the bedsheets. I agree with the previous guests, the layout is bazaar. On the plus side, the breakfast and dinner buffets are good. However, the food is only warm and not hot. And the staff is friendly enough.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights. We were not sure what to expect, but it ended up being a great place to stay. The staff and the manager did everything they could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. They also provided an awesome driver who made it very easy for us to visit all of the sites/activities that we hoped to see. If I had to suggest one thing that I think could be a bit better, I would say the food. It was certainly not bad, but it could be better. About the same as other places I have stayed in Sri Lanka. Overall, I feel good about the room and the service we received. I think the hotel is reasonably priced and it is worth a stay if you are staying in Kandy for a couple days.
