The staff was super helpful and friendly, it really showed that they care about the property as well as their guests. Room was spacious and clean, public areas very well maintained. We also booked a tour through the reception, they arranged a great driver for a beter price then what we could find online!

• Bethel Rest is located in a tropical, green and calm area of Hanthana Kandy. Free WiFi access is available in the entire property.

• It is located just 1 km from the famous Ceylon Tea Museum and it’s a 10 minutes’ drive away from the popular Temple of Tooth Relic including Bogambara Stadium, Kandy railway station and Kandy City Center Shopping Mall. It is a beautiful house with wonderful owners who have surrounded us with warmth and care. Excellent location on a mountain near a forest, clean air and amazing views of the city. All our wishes were fulfilled, the room is very spacious and clean, with a balcony and a seating area. The house has a very beautiful interior with a lot of interesting antiques. We recommend staying here if you want to visit Kandy.

Built in an ancient Colonial-period Bungalow, The Elephant Stables is a beautiful property overlooking Kandy’s lush greenery. It welcomes guests with an outdoor swimming pool and cosy guestrooms.

This peaceful hotel is located within 4 km from Kandy Railway Station. Kandy City Centre and the popular Temple of Tooth Relic is only 2 km away while Bandaranaike International Airport is 103 km away. One of the most enchanting places on earth! Nihal took exceptional care of us from the very first moment. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and we felt warmly welcomed. The property, the garden, and the pool are truly magical. We enjoyed lunch and breakfast, and both meals were absolutely delicious. The chef Idika came personally to check in to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. The location is in Kandy, just a five-minute tuk-tuk ride from the city centre. The hotel also kindly offered to drive us back and forth. Overall, a five-star-plus experience.

Featuring seating areas underneath a tropical garden canopy, this historic Sri Lanka Dambulla Rock Arch bed and breakfast is 3.1 km from Dambulla Cave Temple. Features include free breakfast and WiFi.

A garden view, air conditioning, and an en suite with a rain-style shower or a bath are standard in all rooms. Dambulla Rock Arch extras include a desk, bed linen, and towels. What a marvelous find! Utterly charming accommodation just off the main road, but open to farmland at the back and surrounded by a lovely garden. You would never guess you are in the centre of a busy town. The rooms are probably the best we stayed in during our trip (including much more expensive hotels). Lovely comfortable bed with mosquito net tent. There is a separate kitchen area with a small fridge, kettle and tea/coffee supplies and plates and cutlery. There is also a space with a luggage rack and place to hang clothes. The bathroom is large with premium fittings and hot water. There is a nice terrace with chairs out front and even a little yard at the back with a washing line. The breakfast area is so lovely, partially open with a fish pond. And the breakfast was superb. Beautifully home cooked Sri Lankan food, with European options too. The family are very sweet and helpful and arranged a tour to Sigiriya, followed by an elephant safari at Minneriya. Absolutely wonderful. No hesitation in recommending this lovely place.
