"This budget hotel provides good value for money for an exceptional location."

Cassendra Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, the rooms are very nice and this was the first place I stayed at in Sri Lanka that had hot water in the shower. Also, I dropped a 5000 rupee bill on the staircase and an employee returned it to me. I will stay here again if I go back to Kandy"

"Wonderful hotel !! Fantastic manager, his staff and the 24 hours security. So helpful, kind and generous. Even a free, lovely room upgrade for me !! I for sure will come back to HOTEL ORBIT88 next year."

The Radh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff went above and beyond to welcome us. When I thought I'd lost my passport they were ready to help in whatever way they could. The breakfast and dinner were terrific. In addition to all the traditional breakfast items there was a wide assortment of local dishes. We sampled as many as we could. The pool was lovey, the gym was clean and the hot tub was delightful. We made it to the nightclub and danced to the DJ who started at 6pm. We went at 8pm and had the dance floor to ourselves. We had an issue with some guests two rooms down from us that were very loud at 3am. I informed the staff and it ended about 15 minutes later."

Earl's Regent Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Room was nice and comfortable. One issue - the wash basin in the bath room did not drain well and there was blockage. As a result there was some smell coming off the bathroom. Shower door did not close well - as a result there was water leakage"
