"Lovely hotel right on the water staff as lovely tradition of lighting candles and nice welcome juice . Close enough to walk to where you need to go also good breakfast "
"The hotel is kept in great condition, the morning breakfast buffet has a good selection of western and Sri Lankan food. The rooms are spacious, the minibar is complementary, beds are comfy and you’re staying right next to the temple and a short walk from the lake."
"Woundful stay. The rooftop pool was really cool and the staff catered to our every need. Would have loved to have stayed longer had the option been there. "
"My room was spacious clean and modern. It was very safe and quiet. Breakfast was provided and was excellent. It is located 15 minute walk up steep road from city centre. Easy walking down and cheap uber tuk tuk ride back up the hill after leaving city center. I highly recommend this hotel when staying in Kandy."
"Great place to spend a few days in Kandy. Fantastic views, excellent breakfast and friendly owners, who could not be more helpful. I highly reccomend this stay."
"We had an amazing stay at the property, the view from my room was beautiful. The staff and everyone there were very friendly and welcoming.
We could see the famous nine arch bridge from the room as well as wake up to the beautiful mountains.
I would definitely recommend going there and enjoying the beautiful town of Ella. "
"You get speculator views of all of Kandy from this luxurious hotel. Eeverything is clean, the food is a perfect mix of European and Sri Lankan. And the staff can’t be more helpful. "
"A gem of a place - everything was delightful, from the room, to the lovely infinity pool, the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to help, and the excellent food. We loved staying here. "
"This hotel is well situated in the city but is Spartan in the extreme.
Literally one tiny bar of soap.
Tired and damaged fittings and soft coverings.
Wifi dial-up speeds."
"Great place to stay in Kandy! Rooms are clean, comfortable, and shower is great. Staff are true professionals and definitely want you to have a great stay. Hotel is perched atop hill just outside of town. Plenty of nice restaurants nearby and the town is a nice 20 stroll down the hill. Staff hooked us up with a great driver for day trip to Sigiriya. Great place to stay!"
"Hotel was comfortable, safe, and they had onsite driver accommodations (apparently a thing in Sri Lanka). We didn't get to stay here long enough, and there was a festival that made the streets incredibly crowded. I wish we had the chance to explore the area more, however we made our way down (per the hotel's recommendation) to dinner at Hideout Lounge, and then back to the hotel.

Radisson Hotel Kandy
10/10 Excellent
"Good location near the lake, decent food all walkable "
"Overall the hotel itself is excellent, the staff, the facilities and the food.....an excellent hotel.
The only negative does not relate to the hotel itself maybe more about the city of Kandy, its very nosey and busy, we were hounded by local traders and drivers all day which compared to other parts of the country we would not have the same experienceits "
"Everyone in the staff was so welcoming and helpful. My 87yr old father, who cannot walk more than 10 meters, was with us. The care everyone showed him was remarkable.
And the food was really good too!"
"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."
