    delicious dining

    My stay at The Grand Kandyan was incredible. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with a fantastic gym and a gorgeous pool. The location is perfect, right on a hill with stunning city views. I especially loved the attentive service from the staff, especially Shehani, who made our afternoon tea so special. The breakfast buffet was delightful, offering a wide variety of local and international dishes.

    None at all!

    malfunctioning safe

    Unfortunately, several details left much to be desired. The safe and minibar both malfunctioned, and I found a persistent musty odor in the room from poor ventilation. Basic amenities like hand towels and a working hand shower were noticeably absent, which was unexpected for a hotel claiming higher standards. Although my complaints were acknowledged, the slow and repetitive service when addressing the mold issue felt frustrating. Plus, the spa had limited offerings with only one therapist available, which forced us to wait for treatments.

    rooftop pool
    friendly staff

    Just an optimal selection for an overnight stay in Kandy with best value for money ratio. The rooftop pool and bar were perfect for winding down after a long day. Make sure to ask about special activities during your stay.

    rooftop pool
    relaxing massage
    spotty wi-fi

    Our recent stay was fantastic! We loved lounging by the rooftop pool and indulging in a relaxing massage at the spa. The only hiccup was that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, but it didn't take away from our great experience. 😊

    Highly Recommended for Couples

    I had an really good stay here. The room was spacious with fine mountain views it felt like we were in a different world. The breakfast spread was mouthwatering, catering to every taste and preference.

    It wasn't inexpensive but worth every penny.
