The hotel is well located, in city center of Kandy. The rooms were very spacious and despite the outside traffic, it was very quiet inside. The restaurant has very good food. The view from the pool was outstanding but the pool itself was small. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Room was good, especially the fact it had working a/c and was spacious.

Staff were friendly and clean water was available downstairs to fillup when required, with the restaurant, good location within walking distance to kandy city center, and being on the main road so you could hail tuk-tuks if needed, everything you needed was there.

Would stay here again if in Kandy, does not have the Radisson level of opulence but for value for money this is the best place i have stayed at, for a Westerner here to experience culture as opposed to live it up this is perfect

The staff were all helpful and friendly. Our room was clean, the restaurant was nice, the food was tasty. Nice pool and sitting area on the roof. The pool is small but nice! I really appreciated that the hotel had filtered water and that you could fill up your own water bottles or use the glass bottles with lids that they provide, to take water back to your room! I wish more hotels had water stations like this. It would really reduce the use of plastic bottles.

Really good value find. Room was huge, bed was incredibly comfy, staff were great, helpful and polite. The roof top pool / sun deck is great after a day sight seeing. Location good for getting around. 200slr for a tuk tuk to the cenrre or 10-15 min walk.
Ony negative was the proximity to monk 5am chants and the noise of chairs in restaurant above scraping the ceiling late and early.

We stayed one night here. It was a nice upgrade from other hotels we have stayed in within Sri Lanka and for a lower price. Nice spacious bathroom, with all toiletries supplied. Nice views from the pool/restaurant area. Really enjoyed the breakfast (not included in price). Walking distance to Kandy lake. Only downside was the limited view which looked into an inside courtyard.

Good value stay

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a little tired but the bathroom looked newly refurbished. We had a drink in the roof top bar which was nice.The menu looked good too but not great for vegans so we didn’t eat there. We also didn’t get time to use the pool which was a shame. Would happily stay there again if returning to Kandy. Very good value.

Could have been better

Expensive for the condition of the room. We had a double and decor was poor with some damp and walls peeling.Beds were clean but the room did smell a bit of mildew. Showers were good and rooftop pool was nice. Disappointed that we arrived in restaurant at 7pm and were told bar had closed when on menu it says 9pm. Had same issue trying to order some of the dishes on menu. Could not order Sri Lankan curry. Food we did have was nice but fairly bland. Overall will not visit again.

The hotel is in a central location, but at times found it hard to try and park our taxi due to the roads being so busy. The pool was smaller than we anticipated but we’ve got to say the bed was soooooo comfy! The hotel’s central location made it easy to walk into town. The room was ok, but had no windows to the outside, just into the indoor courtyard. The hotel also offers 0 use of plastic so offers water glass jars to be filled up for your room. All in all the hotel was good.

Friendly, clean, modern bathroom

Friendly and helpful staff. A pleasant, modern hotel in relatively central location. In the built-up hustle and bustle of Kandy which may not be to everyone’s taste. Breakfast was good value. Room was simple but comfortable with modern bathroom and hot shower. One small issue - our room was one of those situated around a central stairwell and noise of people up and down stairs/in and out of rooms etc carries - can be disturbing late in the evening.

One of the shutter didnt work and we also complained for no response, and finally, we were connected with a Tuktuk driver through the hotel that basically took us to all the places that scam tourists.

Very nice clean hotel with friendly helpful staff. Large rooms and very modern spacious bathroom. Only a few minutes ride to major bus station and train station with plenty of passing traffic to get transport to anywhere. Lots of dining options near the hotel and only 15 minutes easy walk to Kandy lake and City Centre. Highly recommend.

Comfortable and convenient

The Sevana doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside is spacious with lots of public seating areas and great views from the rooftop. We stayed here on two separate occasions and both times it was very good. Rooms are comfortable, staff are helpful. There’s a filtered water fountain with reusable glass bottles you can take to your room. The hotel organised a car and driver for us; both the car and the driver were very good, which is not always the case in Sri Lanka. There’s not many good eating options nearby, but we did find a good little restaurant across the road which did excellent dosas. It’s easy to get a tuk tuk to wherever you want to go.

Good property for a short stay in Kandy. Roof top pool is small but very clean.

Room is good, A/C works well and staff very friendly.

Not great if you have a disability as you need to climb 2 floors before the elevator is accessible

We just stayed 2 nights at this lovely property. The property was clean, the rooftop pool was great to cool down in the heat.

The bedrooms are clean and modern, excellent beds and bedding. The only let down was the drainage smell in the bathroom.

WiFi was intermittent.

We would stay here again.

Staff and the owners were all lovely and friendly.

In a good location, within 15 minute walk to the tooth relic temple and kandy lake.

Go else where

Terrible hotel room had no window was damp from the shower .Very musty smell left after 2 nights.
Booked a room with a court yard veiw ?
The veiw was the hotel coriander? If you opened the blinds peope walking past could see in your room.
Also the pool is about 1m x 3 m and view is a telephone mast .
Pictures on Internet are so miss leading. Felt so let down

I liked this hotel. Staff were kind, the pool was good, spacious room, dinner at the restaurant was yummy. Good location close to the city centre and walking distance to lots of restaurants so good value for price. My only complaint was that there was a temple nearby that played music very loudly - all 3 nights I stayed it woke me up at 5am blaring. I’m
not sure if this was a common occurrence or not and it’s not anything to do with the hotel per se but may have impacted my decisions

Truely excellent hotel - it is much better than 3 stars. The staff are friendly and helpful, the place is super clean with really top quality bedding. Food in the restaurant is good and fairly priced and the rooftop pool is fun for a quick dip. The hotel works well towards being environmentally friendly. The loction is just outside of the main city centre - an easy walk to the city or lake, a short tuk tuk to the botanical gardens and there are plenty of places to eat nearby.

Lovely hotel, would come again

We really enjoyed our stay at Sevana City. All the staff were very friendly and helpful including the restaurant. The food was good and fair prices. The room was clean and bed was comfy. Only comment would be some more space to put toiletries in the bathroom. Free water filter was very helpful. Nice outside area for lounging or dip in pool. Good location for getting to main sights by foot. We ate at ‘mystery meat’ just opposite the hotel which was also good. The hotel kindly organised a guide for a day trip to Sigiriya from why not getaways…Rehan was BRILLIANT and we would recommend him to anyone!!

This is a well located hotel in the centre of town which I found okayish for an overnight stay. I had a deluxe room but it’s a big stretch to call it that. It was more like a backpacker standard place.
Shower had poor pressure. But the bed was comfy and clean.
I wouldn’t say never again, but I think I’d try somewhere else next time to be honest.
If you get it at a cheap price then fair enough id say

Sevana City Hotel Kandy was in a great location and 5 minutes from the train station. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Had my bags taken to my room when l arrived and as l went somewhere on a tour for a few days l was able to leave my bag for a few days.
Breakfast was great on the rooftop with a staff member who always smiled and brought my tailored breakfast

Great hotel, good city location yet quiet rooms.

Great stay! Rooms were clean, comfortable with great beds and pillows and great air conditioner. Nestled right in the city, but also very quiet in the room. Step out the front door and you are in a bustling area with all the conveniences.
Super helpful and friendly staff!
Would stay again!

It was an excellent deal for the price. The hotel is almost right in the middle of the city. The room is clean and spacious. View from the room was also nice (I got the city view room with two queen beds.) The staff are very friendly. The TV didn't work (i.e. no channels), but I was also chromecast into it. There was free WiFi, but the speed was not that great. Didn't use the pool or at-facility dinning. If you are driving, you better call the hotel to figure out the parking option. The parking for the hotel is not at the same address as the hotel. We didn't drive.

This place is far too expensive for what it is. It really does not look like the photos especially the pool area which is tired looking and not inviting. The air con remote in the room did not work and neither did the tv. There was no toilet paper. It should be about half the price it is

Solid hotel with decent facilities, great service

The host gave us a free upgrade to a standard above what we ordered. The hotel is located in a busy street, with manageable walking distance to the city centre. The interior is very nice, but one should note that there is no elevator between the ground floor and 1st floor. The rooftop pool was also a bit disappointing, the water being dirty enough that we didn't feel comfortable using it. The service was very good, they let us use their phone to make calls.
