We stayed at McLeod's for a couple of nights in March and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. McLeod's, a real family run hotel, is situated high above Kandy city and has spectacular views looking down over the lake to the temple of the tooth. We found the rooms and the rest of the hotel spotlessly clean; a real credit to... More

Our party booked two rooms for a couple of nights during February 2012 and we just can't recommend this accommodation highly enough. Set high on the hillside in Kandy the views over Kandy lake and the temple are stunning. We were lucky enough to have the two rooms with floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall, picture windows and it was lovely to be able... More

We were in Kandy for a few days in beginning of February and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this inn. The owner is exceptionally friendly and quite knowledgeable about the city. Get a room, only two with fantastic views of the lake although if you dont get such a room you can go on the terrace which has the same... More

My friends suggested this place as a real find and it is. Very quiet, clean with great views of the lake. The owners are pleasant and helpful but do not push anything. In fact, a bit reticent to make suggestions. They only serve breakfast ( usual egg, toast and tea) but lots of food available in town. Fantastic place to... More

Great place, nice owners and excellent views of the Temple and the lake. Very clean room, the laundry is cheap and good. Tuk tuk drivers couldn't find the hotel, so they would take us just uphill beneath the hotel, where the flights of stairs start. Downhill is a short walk to the lake.

This was a great place to stay in Kandy for a few days, very clean, comfortable rooms and with a fantastic view from the balcony/dining room. We called ahead and were able to check in at about 9.30am - having travelled straight from the airport we were very travel-weary and glad of a bed! The owner is extremely helpful and... More

This is a lovely place to take in the views of the Lake and the Temple of Tooth Relic after a long day strolling around Kandy. It is a steep walk up from the lake, so a tuktuk might be in order. The owners are friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was included but dinner was not available here. The rooms... More

We stayed during the December peak period but we only paid 2000 Rs per night. The view from the public balcony / restaurant area is stunning. The owners are very friendly and helpful and are not out to sell you anything extra at all (we found that refreshingly unsual!). The room was simple but clean. If you are not looking... More

We stayed here in July and were entirely satisfied. Nice people, good reasonably priced food, pleasant dining room and excellent veranda with view over the lake. Had one of the two generous rooms with picture window views. But there's the rub. The foreground is pretty grim, a school with asbestos cement roofing that looks more like chicken coops. Better views... More
