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.
Loved our stay in Kandy, this hotel was so comfortable and so accommodating. The shower was amazing, I slept so well on the bed, even excellent pillows!
The breakfast was also outstanding, we were sad to leave the hotel to go on to our next destination!
It is hidden gem. Excellent service for cheaper price. Selvaraj, Kingsley and Gegath are great people and helped on anything. Food is great. Would recommend to anyone wants to stay in Kandy.
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.
The owners were very accommodating. There were issues with the tv and the outlets, but the owner resolved the problems quickly. A very nice rooftop view for breakfast. This property is definitely worth the value.
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.
Manager was very helpful...feed us 10 o'clock at night and also made sandwiches to go next day for our train journey. Staff excellent and breakfast really nice too. Very close to Kandy lake and can take a stroll there. Also arranged for tuktuk to take us to train train station.
