Lovely hotel with antique furnishings.  Swimming pool and garden are delightful . Rooms are spacious and very quiet with great views.    Hotel is situated on a hill just outside town but easy enough to get a tuk tuk to visit.  Owner and staff are polite and friendly and will go out of their way to make your stay a memorable experience.   Breakfast and dinner are plentiful and chef makes an outstanding curry.    They will help to arrange tours and transport and nothing is too much trouble.  Highly recommend this great boutique hotel.

Beautiful quite boutique hotel with outstanding staff

A really beautiful looking place, with really nice staff. 
It’s located perfectly, only a few minutes away from Kandy temple and the town.
The rooms are really good and big and you also have a balcony with a super nice view. 
There’s also a pool which is perfect to relax in the sun.

Nice hotel in Kandy

Fantastic old style colonial property with lovely finishes and furnishings. Staff were fabulous and very helpful in arranging transport, trips etc. Nothing was too much trouble. Tasty traditional Sri Lankan breakfast.

Great place to relax with friends yet near enough to town centre.

Semi-boutique/Home stay type hotel. The stay was 2 nights (29th and 30 April 2023)

Location: The location is very convenient. We had a bit of a tuff time while going to the hotel on the first day due to a cricket match at the Asgiriya Grounds. Spectators are on the road and chilling in the vehicles parked by blocking the road. There is only one access road. Before you book, better to check with the hotel about the criket match schedule of the Asgiriya Grounds. That deive was really annoying and it took nearly 20 mins to drive 1 km to the hotel from the main road. Parking is convenient, two parking slots avaiable, however, 4 vehicles can be parked. 

Place: Very calm and quiet place. My kids enjoyed the freedom as we were the only guest at the hotel. cleanliness is well maintained.  Nicely furnished with a great collection of antiques. Family rooms are quite spacious, and kids got ample space to play even inside the room. The bathrooms are clean and good. Hot water is available.

Staff: The staff is really helpful, flexible, polite and kind-hearted. They are very new to the hotel and definitely need a professional touch. As per the owner they have renovated the hotel and started very recently.

Food: They mainly prefer to serve local meals such as rice and curry and basic Chinese food such as fried rice, Noodles,chopsies, and devels. overall food is tasty, but not outstanding.

No Wi-Fi is available and as per the owner, they will start it soon. Didnt use the TV and cannot comment on that type of entertainment. The mobile signal reception is really good for both data and voice. (We had Dialog and Mobitel.)



Good accommodation for a family

This place is in a nice quiet neighbourhood. Only a 20 minute walk to the lake. Lovely furnishings and artwork and spacious rooms. Helpful too. Our daughter had the runs and the manager have her some home remedy and she was fixed in a jiffy.

Great service, friendly staff.

We stayed 2 nights at this lovely hotel. Our room had a gorgeous balcony that overlooked the lovely pool and had everything we needed. The shower was hot with great water pressure. The bed was a little firm but plenty of pillows . The  staff and manager were very friendly and helpful with suggestions of where to go and what to do . Breakfasts were great and staff were happy to knock up a sandwich for us when we arrived hungry. It was an interesting mostly downhill walk into town past the cricket ground and several schools. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Boutique hotel 

We stayed at Kaya Residence whilst in Kandy. Great rooms, warm water and friendly staff. Meals on offer very good, but not outstanding. The room tvs were a bit hit and miss. Pool was refreshing but only two sun loungers to relax on. Fix the tvs and add some more places to relax outside and you’d have a winner. 

Quality accommodation for families

We loved this hotel it is small compact with a pool.and beautiful staff. We found the hotel had lots of atmosphere and authentic.  Family rooms huge with balconies.
We managed a morning walk into and out of Kandy passing many locals and businesses.

Highly recommended to get away from hustle and bustle of Kandy.

Small hotel 1km walk into Kandy

Big rooms, good A/C, beautiful views from our room. Could have been slightly cleaner, ants in bathroom/pool. Need car/tuk tuk to get into town. Friendly staff. Many Chinese people loudly eating dinner

Four friends

This hotel on the outside looks quite charming.  But in this case looks are deceiving.  

1.  The room was not clean and had mouse droppings both on the floor and on the bedding.  With what appeared to be mouse pee on the bed around the droppings.

2.  Blood was clearly evident on one of the bed sheets and quite honestly disgusting.

3.  The air conditioning was leaking so much water it created a 1 ft x 6in puddle on the floor.

4. The refrigerator was dirty and had not been cleaned.

5. The quantity of ants was quite unique!!  I can deal with this however..but the other 4 points above are not tolerable.

This residence was totally unacceptable mainly because the room was not clean.
The manager also tried to say I put the mouse droppings in the room....Now that was too funny...

Stay away from this hotel....
