The Kandy House is set in the hills in Kandy and is a beautiful colonial house. There is no air conditioning but I do think this would detract from the overall feel of the place if it were there. The fan in the room above the bed should be enough to keep you cool and in the early morning we... more

The Kandy House was our first stop after our arrival in Sri Lanka. The curry dinner was tremendous, as was all the food we enjoyed here. We stayed in a Sunbeam Deluxe Room at the back of the house (about nine rooms total here). Mosquitoes flock to my husband, despite the mosquito nets over the beds throughout Sri Lanka, which... more

This may be a perfect hotel. Charming, intimate, comfortable areas to read, a wonderful (and happy) staff, extraordinary attention to detail and comfort--excellent food (a rare thing in Sri Lanka)....a lovely pool....but there is not much in Kandy itself--so, look on your stay here as a charming retreat, and enjoy it for what it is. more

We made the journey from Colombo to Kandy at the beginning of our 2 week trip to Sri Lanka. After the 3 and a half hour journey, arriving at Kandy house was delightful. The building is a converted Colonial House, with 5 rooms built around a central courtyard. The rooms are all tastefully decorated with lots of dark wood, and... more

We stayed at the Kandy House for 3 nights, but really we could have easily stayed there for the whole two weeks of our holiday! Our driver found it a little difficult to find as it's about 20 minutes out of Kandy in the middle of nowhere, but I think this adds to the charm of the hotel. The Kandy... more

We only stayed here one night en route from the Kandalama Hotel to Tea Trails. We thought the location was rather pleasant and did not mind being outside of Kandy. The restaurant was very good, but a bit pricey. We had time to stroll the beautiful grounds and enjoy breakfast on the veranda outside of our "super deluxe" room. The... more

My wife & I stayed at this hotel for two nights during our tour of Sri-Lanka and we were somewhat disappointed. The Hotel is not in Kandy, it is a good 15-20 minute drive outside the city, the last couple of kilometres along some very narrow rough road. It is set in its own well kept grounds with a security... more

We stayed for 2 nights in the Indian Admiral room, which was lovely--large, with 3 windows overlooking the dining terrace and gardens. The bath was in the main bedroom, but it also had a huge walk in shower and the lavatory was in a separate room with a proper door. We also had a sitting area and a shared balcony... more

The Kandy House is smaller than we expected and is surrounded by Jungle type greenery, its tranquil and quiet, apart from the frogs at night but a wonderful hide away. Great food and cocktails, and a good selection of wines. more

Kandy House was a fantastic surprise after a few grotty hotels we met along the way in Sri Lanka; it's a very old Dutch House just outside Kandy in a quiet place overlooking the paddy fields.\The staff and particularly the new manageress from England (of Sri lankan origins, I think) were outstanding and we only regretted not having booked to... more
