The owner will organise anything you want to do - we did a safari which was amazing and well organised, picked up and dropped back off at the hotel and all tickets etc was sorted for us. The hotel organised amazing tours of Mihintale and the ancient temples with tuk tuk guide named Jaya - make sure to request Jaya as your tour guide! He was very kind and knowledgeable and we had the best time with him touring the beautiful temples.

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. Exceptional service, staff and location. The food is exceptional .. Indika and his team are master chefs! The property is beautiful and well maintained surrounded by amazing wildlife with some of the best views in Kandy. The place is also a peaceful retreat from the bustle of Kandy town but not too far away from anything. The staff are all amazing and went out of their way to help us which made us feel like staying with family ….we can’t wait to return again and stay at this magical place. Thanks to Joel and his team we miss you already!

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. The rooms were very clean , owners were very welcoming. Also, the location is the best part for us as we were travelling by bus and the bus stand is hardly 50m from the house and buses are available for each and every locations. So many cafés and Marts within 50 m of the stay.

Situated in the hill capital of Kandy in Sri Lanka's central highlands, the Radisson Hotel Kandy is a modern hotel that features a rooftop pool, meeting room, fitness center, and rooftop lounge & bar. The rooms are designed to provide a contemporary yet comfortable living space, complete with a 40-inch LED TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, work desk, mini-bar, and tea/coffee making facilities. The spacious bathrooms come with a rain shower, complimentary toiletries, and a hairdryer. I stayed at this hotel for three nights at a stretch and then two single nights within a week. It is a lovely, very comfortable hotel with Scandinavian-style furniture, creating a perfect balance for a relaxed stay when you travel for vacation or work.  It is in the heart of Kandy city, offering a spectacular lake view. Both the managers on duty and the staff were very friendly and helpful. During my third visit, they upgraded me to a suite without additional charge. The price is reasonable, and I highly recommend the Radisson Hotel in Kandy.
