I’ve stayed in many hotels around the world and this hotel is what I rate as the worst hotel due to number of factors. I stayed one night walking off the street. The reception staff quoted me an inflated price hoping I would accept. I must also state that the hotel at that time was under construction with the hotel... More

We spent in this hotel 2 nights in December; we were satisfied with it. Rooms are very clean. There is a TV (4 channels, partially in English) and a mini bar. Bathroom was OK, with warm water. Hotel's architecture is interesting; i.e. staircase in the middle of the hotel is open, swimming pool is on the second floor, entrance, lobby... More

We had terrible experience here. We arrive around 13.00 to do the check- in but by that time they gave our room to someone else! And the worth thong is that we had to guess it. For about an hour they let us wait and when we asked what's happening they ignored us including our driver. Then they wanted to... More

We reached Kandy on Dec 22nd 2011. Serene Garden was amazing and our room was on 5th floor. The view outside was fantastic. Hotel was amazing. Rooms were clean and everything was in place. We missed the cultural hotel in Kandy due to time constraint. The cultural show timing was 5:30PM whereas we reached Kandy around 6:30PM. Food was good... More

Compared to all the six hotels we stayed throughout our trip to Sri Lanka, I'd rate Serene Garden to be among the top two along with Hibiscus Garden in Tissa. The main grouse I have with hotels in Sri Lanka is the cleanliness, especially of the bathroom but I was happy that this was not an issue at all with... More
