Great old colonial hotel in excellent location , next to Temple Of the Tooth. Has a wonderful wooden veranda to while away the evening on. Rooms are basic but ok and the mosquito net actually fitted the bed ....a rare find in the hotels we stayed in in Sri Lanka.
Has a restaurant on ground floor but we did not try it.
The only downside is the noise!! The birds descend to the trees around the temple and the hotel round sunset and are really noisy. The Temple is really noisy too at sunset ...and sunrise. But we could have lived with that ...it was the REALLY noisy Italian couple in the next room with no regard for others, that finished us off!
Thing is the rooms are simply partitioned off with wood and you can hear all from your neighbours room! So take some ear plugs if ya fancy any sleep at all!!

Located in the centre of Kandy, just next to the temple of Tooth. The balcony has a beautiful seating area with lots of colonial charm. The rooms are basic but clean and the restaurant serves decent food. The balcony needs to receive another mention from where you can see the Kandy lake and lots of beautiful flower vendors on the road leading to the temple.

A great value for money option in the heart of Kandy. Perfectly close to the Temple of the Tooth. After a not too friendly reception we were shown our potential room which we gladly accepted for a more than appropriate rate, considering the attached bathroom (cold water only!), the dark wood furniture and impressive high ceilings.
One of the highlights is the terrace on the first floor facing the lake and the park. And in case you are waken up early, you can use the chance to attend the first relic presentation of the day in the temple.

Warning - if you are anti-noise this IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU

What seems delightful at 6pm does not feel so charming at 5am the next day. Especially on loudspeaker and it runs for approximately 30 minutes so you can't go back to sleep.

But this place is quaint with a great balcony and so close to the temple. And you can't argue with the price

Cleanliness is average, no hot water (and it it ice cold, not lukewarm). This property has a lot of potential.
