We took one of the slightly more expensive rooms with the view over Kandy. The entire wall is glass and the views are epic. The guys running McLeod are lovely and were extremely helpful. They got us great prices with tuktuks as well. Seeing as Kandy centre is only 15 minute walk away, though, we didn't require them much. Rooms... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time! The view from the communal balcony is amazing and the owners were very helpful. Nothing to complain about actually... Price is good, room with a view is very nice!

We stayed at McLeod Inn in March 2013. We had a front-facing room with large windows with wonderful views over Kandy and the temple. The rooms were comfortable and owners welcoming and very helpful with enquiries. The guest-house is also not to far from Kandy and easy to walk into town or catch a 3-wheeler.

This small hotel (or guesthouse, it seems to be something in between) is a very fine choice if you plan to stay one or more nights in Kandy : the staff is welcoming and smiling; the rooms are very clean and functional; and the house is located on the hills, on the south of Kandy, with an amazing view on...

We booked this hotel for 3 nights. Had no idea what to expect as it was fairly inexpensive but the owner had been helpful on the phone from previous stop. Great view over the lake from the communal balcony. Our room was clean but very minimal furniture. Also had a small window which we were told to keep closed because... More

The manager is extremely friendly and the view is terrific, way above the noisy city of Kandy. Our room had an old smell but not too bad after using the fan. We also question the safety in case of fire as the window is blocked and the only way out is through a narrow corridor with a door that must... More

Great location (especially to have a beer on the terrasse after a day of visits)! Super helpful to book driver or get info at a very reasonnable price!! You're in the center in 10min walk with the stairs, so you can walk around kandy and the lake easily!

Very friendly owners. Our room was small but very clean and plenty of very hot water in the shower and also the wash basin.Breakfast was simple but prompt and is not included in the room price. Spectacular views over Kandy from the balcony and also from the upper story rooms.

Our room was comfortable and spotless, the views are sensational and the owners are friendly and very helpful. We stayed two nights, left our gear (including a large double surfboard bag) overnight to go to Sigarya then returned for a third night. Owners could not be more accommodating. The price you pay for the view is a 10 minute walk... More

The owners were very warm, offered a good service, and invaluable advices. The room was immaculate, and gave a homely feeling. The only drawback are that the windows don't close completely, so prepare to hear drums and animal noises at 7 am. We did the Pinnewala and Garden day trip with "Blacky". He was very nice, talkative, fun and went... More
