The Chaaya Citadel is a comfortable, western style hotel on the outskirts of Kandy, with views over the river. The location is peaceful, but you are only a short drive from Kandy's centre, providing the best of both worlds. The rooms were well equipped, clean and comfortable, and I had a pleasant view over the river. The restaurant serves both... more

We stayed at the Chaya Citadel, Kandy en-route from Habarana to Negombo..Thankfully we stayed here for 2 nights only. While we really enjoyed our stay at the Chaya Group's hotel at Habarana, this Kandy hotel is below average. The lobby seems a bit run down, and compared to the welcoming approach at other places in Sri Lanka, the welcome was... more

We only stayed here for one night as part of our tour but wish it could have been longer. Hotel in beautiful location right on the banks of the river where brahminy kites flew overhead. We had interconnecting rooms, very spacious, modern and well appointed with huge walk in showers. Balcony overlooked the river. Swimming pool looked nice but unfortunately... more

Having stayed at the Chaaya Village in Habarana, we were expecting a quality hotel with good staff. We were not disappointed. The hotel is well layed out and the room we had had an excellent view of the river and jungle. The meals were all of a very high standard and catered for most tastes. We love Sri Lankan cooking... more

I found it difficult to leave this hotel at the end of our two-night stay. The views of the river were idyllic and I wanted to spend a week, undisturbed, writing or reading in the gazebo near the pool. The room was a perfect combination of luxury and Sri Lankan traditional themes, such as the unusual cut-outs in the walls... more

In this modern hotel our room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the river . Furnishings were comfortable and the bathroom was stunning. There was a lovely pool area with attentive staff. The large restaurant also took in the lovely view. There was a comprehensive buffet of good food but service, generally, in the hotel was rather impersonal. more

This hotel is in a magnificent position overlooking the river with a lovely swimming pool and terrace and restaurant all of which take in the view. The rooms are lovely and ours overlooked the river. The choice and quality of food in the restaurant was excellent but the table service a little haphazard. We would have no hesitation in staying... more

This is a fabulous hotel in every respect. The room was well maintained, the bathroom excellently equipped with a good shower. The staff were friendly courteous and very helpful. The facilities were well maintained throughout. The Breakfast buffet was comprehensive with an omlette chef who knew how to make one! The a la carte restaurent was not tried but the... more
