We are a family of 6 stayed in 2 rooms in The Radh Hotel in Kandy in July 2026. This is an immaculate property, close to most important attractions of Kandy, Sri Lanka. Our stay was absolutely fabulous. The place is safe. Staffs are extremely courteous, professional, attentive and helpful. Every aspect of our stay including checking in, hotel lobby, breakfast buffet and room size and amenities are absolutely wonderful. We will definitely stay here in our next visit to Kandy.

The room was just ok. Very small, cheap amenities and the first night there was a very bad smell in the bathroom— sewage smell.
Talk with the front desk the following morning and it was corrected
Carpets in the hallway and elevator are in deep need of a good cleaning. That doesn’t give a good image.
The staff was very attentive and responsive. Very good staff.

Stayed for 3 nights

It was a nice boutique hotel suited in a good part of Kandy town. it has some lovely touches such as chocolates in the evening and turn back service. The food was okay for breakfast but the waiting staff were very friendly and willing to serve you.

The noise from the kitchen late at night and in the early morning will disturb you if you are a light sleeper.

Sadly some of the guests were not nice and there was a family who had a child running up and down and shouting in the corridor at 2am which woke several of us up.

We are a Sri Lankan-American family, and we vacationed in Sri Lanka during the summer of 2024. From the moment we booked with The Radh Hotel, we knew we would love our stay. The hotel was quaint, the staff was extremely attentive, and our stay was peaceful. My father, who is a 75-year-old Sri Lankan native, has severe Alzheimer's disease and the staff at The Radh took extra care to attend to his needs and make him feel safe and welcome. I was extremely impressed and felt at ease with the reassurance of the front desk staff.

The front desk manager provided exemplary service to our family. He assisted with SO many needs that we expressed during our stay. Our experience was above and beyond. My daughter enjoyed her birthday at the hotel, as well. She felt very special and was sad to leave.Thank you so much!
We will stay at this hotel again when we return to Sri-Lanka.

Utterley dissapointed and we left the hotel a day early.
We visited the Radh during the Kandy Perahera. We were told to arrive before 2pm to avoid 'inconveniences' due to road closures. We arrived early and our room wasnt ready.
Upon getting our room incorrect bags were brought and we found ants. When we mentioned it the staff did resolve the ant issue.

What was most unnaceptable is that we were never told under any circumstances that we would be unable to exit or enter the hotel after the festival started. We left at 5:30pm and were trapped outside the hotel for 6 hours. To make matters worse it was exteremley crouded, lots of restaurants were shut & were not serving alcohol & taxis were hard to book. As a result we did not get back to the hotel until 11:30pm.

After we left and raised our issues to the Radh their customer service was shocking. They argued there were 5 ants and that we were messaged to say 'arrive before 2pm to avoid inconveniences'. This was not a warning about not being unable to access the property and it was far from inconvenient. Overall, it caused undue stress and upset on our honeymoon & my Wife's birthday.

Perfect hotel in Kandy!

My husband and I had a lovely stay at the Radh Hotel. The staff was most welcoming, helpful and polite from the very moment we arrived. They found all the information with traveling that we présented them with, promptly and always with a smile. Our room had a lovely balcony unto the street and yet it was quiet. The bedroom itself was well appointed with a mini fridge filled with complementary drinks and snacks and a kettle to make tea. The bathroom was stylish and the shower spacious. The breakfast buffet presents a vast array of choices from egg dishes such as omelets on demand, bread, jams, fresh fruits, yogurt, cereals but also more local fares such as curry and much more. The location is ideal to tour the stunning city of Kandy. Starting with the temple of the sacred tooth just at the end of the street and lake few step away…

Customer service is wonderful, very prompt with requests and friendly. The hotel is right in a great central location, next to the temple, lake, and food. Only thing to advise someone else about that we did not know…. The front doors are locked at a certain time at night and you cannot get in, even with a key card. We arrived back on our last night )out of four) after a Homecoming at 1:30 am and could not get in. A guard tried for 10-15 minutes and finally got us in. In the morning I talked to the manager and said we were locked out, and he said they didn’t know we were still out. So great place besides that, just check before if know you are staying out late.

Not a great place to stay.

Although the hotel was not full, we were put in a room right next to the night time construction (for the hotel's expansion). We had just arrived, were still jet-lagged and spent an awful first night in the hotel. We asked to change rooms the next morning and that was done but not before one of us got sick. After 2 days in bed, we asked about getting a doctor and the hotel was less than helpful. We saw roaches in the dining room. Hotel advertises 2 restaurants, there is only one and the food wasn't very good. It was a disappointing to start to our stay in Sri Lanka.

A nice hotel that is trying hard to be great.

The concierge was very helpful and booked us their driver to collect us from the airport and bring us on the 2 hour trip to the hotel. The hotel is located near the Temple of the Sacred Tooth and a short walk to Kandy Lake. Check in was a little slow but the reception team were friendly and eager to please.
We were shown to our room - a decent size but with no real view and a damp smell. Additionally we were only given 1 room card which meant each time we left the room the electric/air con turned off and was slow to cool down again. The room was clean and had a good size bed, firm and soft pillows, a small wardrobe with a safe and a desk area with plug sockets. Bathroom contained a toilet, good powerful shower and 2 sinks.
Tea and instant coffee making facilities and fresh bottled water was provided each day and there is a small fridge in the room.
Internet worked for day 1 in the hotel but none of the supplied codes would work after that.
The hotel has a restaurant on the ground floor which offers a local and international menu for breakfast and dinner. We opted for the international breakfast which wasn't great so skipped breakfast on day 2 (much to the hotel's dismay as almost everyone chased us for breakfast!) Due to the proximity to the temple there is no bar on site.
A nice enough hotel in a city with very few nice hotels. The hotel is very small but clean and has what you need in each room. The staff try very hard but have limited English and are often 'over attentive'

Booked a garden suite with a plunge pool but didn’t get it although we had paid extra for it. We were told we had been upgraded to a suite which was on the fourth floor with a grubby jacuzzi bathtub on the balcony. Again not what we had booked. The hotel was tired looking but clean.
Dinner was a bit of a fiasco. Firstly we couldn’t have wine with dinner. This was fine and not the fault of the hotel. It was because of the hotel’s close proximity to the Sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic. However, I think would be guests should be warned ahead of time. In the restaurant, my partner & I ordered our main courses and my partner ordered a side of fries to accompany his. Firstly the fries arrived which we commenced eating. When they were finished, my main arrived but not his. He now ordered a second side of fries to go with his main which finally arrived but no fries until his main was finished. We were the only two people in the restaurant.
That night after reviewing the hotel I had an apologetic call from the duty manager. The next morning the service at breakfast was exemplary and on check out they wanted to refund the cost of the dinner which we declined since we had eaten the food and the gripe was with the delivery not the quality and with charging us for the room we didn’t get.

Top Notch Hotel!

The Radh is a truly excellent hotel! Everything about it was fantastic. The staff were very nice, the rooms were extremely nice, and very well outfitted. Everything was the latest design - including international electrical outlets with USB ports, etc. The breakfast was very nice. We were a bit disappointed that the menu was very western and Japanese and didn't have a great selection of Sri Lankan or Asian cuisine, but there are many options available nearby for dinner. The location of the hotel is amazing - right near the Kandy Temple. We would highly recommend this wonderful hotel!
