Hotel Casamara
3.9/548 Reviews
Kandy Lake Front
For this trip, I trusted my travel agency to choose the hotel, and I’m glad I did! It’s my first time in Sri Lanka, and with so many great choices in Kandy, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to let them decide, especially since I was only staying one night. All I asked for was a clean, safe place with working wifi, AC, and a hot shower—and this hotel delivered! Pros: - The location is unbeatable. The hotel is right behind the famous Queen's Hotel, in the city center. It’s walking distance from the Tooth Relic Temple and the lakeside, with a supermarket, currency exchange, shops, and even a KFC nearby. Super convenient! - The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. Huge thanks to Upul at the restaurant—such a nice guy. Also, shoutout to the concierge who helped me (sorry, I forgot his name, but he worked in Saudi and spoke to me in Arabic). - I got an upgrade again! I booked through a local tour agency, so maybe that helped, but Sri Lanka just keeps surprising me! I was given a room on a higher floor with a great view of the street and town, but it was high enough that the noise didn’t bother me. - The room was spacious and had everything I needed: working AC, hot shower, and clean interiors. It’s a bit of an old hotel, but it had a charming vibe, with elephant cushions that added a nice Sri Lankan touch. And the cable TV let me watch Spongebob Squarepants! 🧽 - They even have this old-school elevator where you have to manually open the doors. It was a little scary but super cool and retro. - Unlike other places I stayed, this hotel didn’t have any power outages, so that’s a big plus. Cons: - The wifi was being fixed during my stay, but luckily I had unlimited data from an eSIM, so it wasn’t a huge issue for me. - Since it’s an older hotel, the linens were a bit frayed and had some old stains, but it didn’t really affect my stay. For a budget hotel in the heart of Kandy, I’d definitely stay here again!
Grand Serendib Hotel
4.5/575 Reviews
Kandy Lake Front
When I opened the room, there was a musty smell. Since it was a view room with a curtain wall on the exterior, the windows could not be opened. The air conditioner had to be turned on at full power for half an hour before the musty smell gradually dissipated. The location is not far from the top of the mountain, far away from Kandy Lake, and the lake cannot be seen from the rooftop observation deck. The facilities are okay, the service attitude is okay, and the food tastes great. Overall not recommended.
Cafe Aroma Inn

Kandy Lake Front
The hotel is located in the center of Kandy, near the Kandy Lake. The English communication at the front desk is no problem. The rooms are in good condition. The facilities are newer. There is no toothbrush, toothpaste and slippers.
Hotel Lakefield
4/55 Reviews
Kandy Lake Front
The staff were very friendly and laughing. The boss speaks very well French because lives in France a good part of the year. Quality/price price very reasonable (7500 roupies = about 33 euros) breakfast included. A pleasant and noisey view. Sri Lanka specialities at meal were very good! I recommend you if you take a tour by candy.
Serene Kandy
4.1/521 Reviews
Kandy Lake Front
The staff was very good and clean hotel. The room is large and the hot water in the shower comes out firmly. It has a kitchen and is suitable for long stays, which is very good for this price. I felt like a beautiful business hotel, not a resort. Because it is built on the mountain, ants and so on are in the room, but I didn't care. It is a difficult location far from the city and on foot.
Ceyloni City Hotel
4.2/535 Reviews
Kandy Lake Front
Good hotel with friendly staff. It’s located in the city with walking distance to restaurants, Foodcity, KCC and Dhalada Maligawa. Rooms annd bathrooms are very clean and well maintained. Just as shown in the pictures. As it’s situated in a busy street no big view, but it’s convenient and Perfect for a train trips with friends as we can walk around kandy, no need to hire a vehicle.
