This place deserves to be popular. Nice, clean, modern, balcony, breakfast, laundry service. Short walk around the lake into town. But even better are the staff. They helped me alot when I needed a bit of help contacting guides for other trips i'd arranged. And they helped chase away the monkeys at breakfast, because those monkeys will get your breakfast if you're not fast enough.

Very Friendly employees

The guys managing this property were exceptionally kind and polite. Called me an Uber when I needed it, advised me on the area and even showed me a tricky short cut to some excellent restaurants in the vicinity. Check out the No Name restaurant and nearby pizza! Breakfast was excellent and the chef is top notch!

Good base hotel in Kandy

Nice hotel on the far end of the lake, so out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to get in easily. A good base for a couple of nights with friendly staff.

Pretty average property - room was clean although towels were not. Seemed to be very short on staff so service was not great. Breakfast was average. Also up a private road which is tricky to find and not safe to walk in the dark. Appreciate you get what you pay for and it was fine for one night, but definitely did not live up to the reviews for me.

King of Kandy was comfortable, walkable to the major sites, good value and spotless. The manager used to work as a cook and makes great breakfasts. Persist when looking for it; it's on a private road but there is a sign.

I'm so glad I found this unique place that felt like our private tower in Kandy. The name actually lives up to the hotel. The rooms and halls are spacious and airy, the balcony with breakfast tables and lots of space for exercising and enjoying the mountain view... A walk to the lake nearby is like a mini safari: bats, iguanas, ducks, fish and turtles entertain your morning. The comfort, aesthetics and stuff are great. I'd come back here.

Great location, top service!

King of Kandy is a fantastic place to stay. The manager is a lovely gentleman, always happy to assist or provide advice. As they were quiet because of the timing of my trip I was upgraded free of charge. The food was fantastic, a lovely spread for breakfast and I would recommend eating dinner there. The roof terrace restaurant has a superb view of Kandy especially for Poya. The location is great but is up a short but steep hill so you would need to be mobile or get a tuk tuk up. Guests can use the pool at the neighbouring Suisse Hotel for a small fee. I highly recommend stay at King of Kandy when you are in Kandy.

The owner is a very kind man. He was very accommodating as was the staff. They serve great meals and even helped me secure travel to Ella.
The one thing I'd note is I paid extra to have a mountain view hotel room, which in all honesty does not look out toward the mountain. It is far right of the balcony.
Otherwise a wonderful stay!

Stay here!

This guesthouse is wonderful! The rooms are spotlessly clean, with a very comfy bed and powerful hot showers.
Great location close to the lake, easily walkable into the centre of Kandy, and some good places to eat nearby in the evening too.
Tasty and very generous breakfast is served on the roof terrace, with lovely views down over Kandy.
The best thing about King of Kandy is undoubtedly the owner and staff who made us very welcome and helped us to arrange transport/activities from Kandy. They arranged a day trip to Sigiriya and Dambulla which was very good value for money (and in a super fancy A/C minivan!) our driver Harith was fab! He was so helpful and professional, and went above and beyond to make our trip work!
Would 100% recommend staying here!

Not easy to find. The room was a reasonable size and the bed comfortable but the bathroom was very small. The breakfast was the usual fruit plate and eggs etc. The restaurant was located on the second floor and was outdoor but covered which meant it was a little chilly as it was raining at the time. Overall reasonable value for money in that location

Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel

Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel tant que les travaux d'agrandissement de l'hôtel (ils sont loin d'être terminés) et les chantiers de refection qui ont lieu juste à côté ne seront terminés. Impossible de se reposer tant le bruit est gênant. Ils travaillent même le dimanche et jusqu'à 19h30/20h le soir avec des lampes, juste sous la fenêtre des chambre. Ol y a bien un balcon, mais on ne peut pas en profiter. C'est dommage car si les parties communes ne sont pas bien entretenues, les chambres sont plutôt bien, très propre. C'est dommage tout ce bruit nous a vraiment dérangé.
Autre chose, nous avions réserver une chambre \"Deluxe\", spacieuse et réglé Hotel.com en conséquence. Ils nous ont donné la chambre économique, bien plus petite. A force de réclamer ils ont fini par nous faire déménager dans une chambre correspondant à notre réservation à partir de la deuxieme nuit. Encore une chose nous nous sommes aperçu le soir que dans la salle de bain, sur les 2 éclairage seul une ampoule led a très faible eclairage fonctionnait. Ils nous ont alors installé une lampe d'appoint pour dépannage. Voir photo.
Notre séjour n'a pas ete agréable. Bref, je déconseille vivement cet hôtel

Hyggeligt hotel

Værelset var generelt pænt og rent.
Morgenmaden var sporadisk og portionsserveret, men ok.
Vi er dog ikke fan af, der bruges lokalt vand - også som drikkevand.
Personalet forsøgte at yde service, men det er svært, når de bare nikker og siger ja, uden at forstå, hvad der bliver sagt. Det gav os udfordringer et par gange.
Der var problemer med vandet og renoveringsarbejde gav støjgener.
Der er længere ned i Kandy end forventet pga bjergbeliggenheden.
