Another lovely cinnamon hotel. This one different again, peaceful, by the river and lovely pool. Very nice room, spacious, fabulous shower, good size balcony and very comfortable. Breakfast buffet was gorgeous and its hard to imagine the dinner buffet surpassed it but it did. Cant believe how delicious and varied the food was. Gardens were so pretty, nice to wander around, very safe and very pleasant. Good location for trips into town, all of Kandy seems to be on teh side of a steep hill so did need transport into town which was easy and very reasonable. Would love to stay if we head to Sri Lanka again.

We stayed for 2 nights at the Cinnamon Citadel during our honeymoon tour of Sri Lanka. The hotel location was excellent for trips in and around Kandy and the setting on the riverside felt very secluded for a city location. The food and drink amenities are set over two floors with the bar on ground floor level which also had a nice a la carte selection. The main restaurant on first floor was buffet style with a reasonable variety of food selection. Hotel was very clean and staff were friendly and helpful.

I visited Cinnamon Citadel Kandy at a time when tourism of Sri Lanka was hit badly by the economic crisis. Nevertheless, the staff, the atmosphere and the food made us forget about the troubles outside. The food was very well prepared and yummy, the buffet was simple but top notch and the hospitality shown to us by Mr Nissanka and the staff was wonderful. Even when my friend got sick, the staff was very supportive and friendly. Overall, I had a great, satisfying experience at Cinnamon Citadel Kandy. Would recommend it to anyone and I’m hoping to visit again.

I wanted to treat my family to a promotion I had received at work, so I was looking for buffet options for dinner that would have a perfect balance in terms of ambience, food and service. Cinnamon Citadel Kandy sat right in the middle of it all, not to mention being super friendly on the pocket, 3500 LKR pp, half rate for kids up to 12 years of age. The buffet is superb to say the least, an array of food, finger lickin delicious, catered to taste buds of all types and ages. I dealt entirely with Mohan, serving as the F&B manager (also pleasent suprise that he hails from the same city as I do). The training and moulding of any good F&B team lies on the backing of it's leadership, and Mohan has done just that with his team. We do not consume pork, so since it was just that on the carvery station that night, Mohan kindly arranged for our table to have beef dishes, what an exclusive experience! Special shout-out to the boys Kalum, Sandun and Attanayaka, not a single refusal to requests, and cheerful & helpful as ever! If you are looking for a great dinner out, be it with family, friends or colleagues in Kandy, this is the place to be, a quiet,clean atmosphere: just ask for Mohan , and the rest will be taken care of! Thank you all once again for looking after us, and you can count on seeing us soon!…
