“Great views and great value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

We stayed here for two nights, just at the end of the Perahera festival.
The resident tuk tuk driver, who is very friendly and helpful, helped us to get seats for the last day of the festival. The couple who run the hotel are also really helpful and friendly. They answered all our questions about train times to Nanu Oya, our next stop.
Our room was excellent value, spotlessly clean and the beds were really comfortable. The views from our room and the balcony off the little dining area over Kandy were superb! Especially when the Temple of the Tooth was all lit up for the festival.
It's about a 5 min walk or so down to Kandy lake, but all uphill to get back, so we opted for tuk tuks!
We had breakfast both days and it was simple, but good and decent portion sized.
We really enjoyed our stay at McLeod! :)

“Great view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

Small but clean rooms with attached bathrooms. Not much space for your stuff in the room and definitely not a room to stay in reading and relaxing. BUT very very nice common area and a big balcony with the best view in Kandy. You don´t want to stay in your room but just sit on the balcony with a beer looking over the city. The owner is extreamly friendly and the food, curry, was great.
If I ever go back to kany I´ll definitely stay there again.

“Clean, cheap and great view”

We stayed here two nights. Owners are very nice and laid back, rooms are very clean and location is also very good because from the sundeck there's an impressive and pleasant view on Kandy's lake and all the surrounding nature.
When we got there with ours heavy backpacks they made us a good cold fresh fruit juice...very pleasant !
And above all, it's very cheap. Ideal to stay couple of nights in Kandy.

“Great value, clean rooms, beautiful view.”

We stayed here our two nights in Kandy, it made for a great base to explore the city. The rooms were a decent size, clean and great value. It has a fantastic balcony with beautiful views over the city. It's a ways up the hill over the city, but there's a path which cuts down to the city, about a ten minute walk. Would definitely recommend.

“Run by nice people, good value, decent sleep...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2011

We stayed at the McLeod Inn for a couple of nights in December and enjoyed the friendliness of the owners as well as the rooms, views and the food. The latter is unfortunately overpriced, but if you cannot (because of the rain) or do not want to go into Kandy Town you will have to accept it. Located on one of the surrounding hills, you are far away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy Town and you can catch a good sleep in fresh air. The rooms are clean, the service is spot on...one of the best value for money places we stayed at during our month in Sri Lanka...
