Hotel Suisse is well placed on the lake, a stones throw (or tuk-tuk ride) from the centre of Kandy. I had a nice stay here.
My room was spacious, with a high ceiling and a nice balcony area. The hotel itself is a pleasant building, the bar service was prompt, and the breakfasts good (thanks especially to the omelette chef).Wifi is available, allegedly in reception and the bar area, though I only succeeded in the bar, and this didn't seem to come as a surprise to staff.
The hotel has 4 floors, but the lift only goes to the third. My room was 416, which involved a lift to the third floor followed by a walk to the back of the hotel, a flight of stairs and along a corridor. Perhaps some would feel that the views from being higher up compensate for this, but I would suggest the third floor would be better.
There is an Ayurvedic area between the hotel and its (nice) swimming pool. This is cramped, a bit dingy and with privacy only maintained by a frequently moving curtain. The massage is not a relaxing experience.
Overall a good hotel, though the Queens hotel is in a better location, and looked good to me from the outside,
Room Tip: Avoid 4th floor.
