Very steep access to the property, but easily dealt with by a competent driver

Extraordinary hosts, welcoming and kind. We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed what can only be described as the best breakfast that we have had anywhere! Alexandra is a gifted cook and when we return to Sri Lanka we would stay here just for that. However there is much more. Comfortable and quiet rooms provided with a refrigerator filled with delicious fruit teas. The property itself has been refurbished to the highest standard. We didn't have time to enjoy the pool which was very appealing. Michael and Alexandra gave us very useful information before our stay.

We only had 1 night here.

An absolute gem of a place. The property is gorgeous, charming and has an immaculate view. The room has wonderful, lots of towels and all the amenities. There's water, tea, coffee and ice tea. The outdoors area is perfect with a lush garden, pool area and rooftop. The hundreds of fruit bats from the botanical gardens flew right overhead as we we're having dinner, so cool! Michael and Alex are wonderful hosts who couldn't be more helpful. The service level is through the roof. Michael even drove our tuktuk up the steep hill for us! Breakfast was the best value we've seen in Sri Lanka by a wide margin - pancakes, yogurt with toppings, 4-5 types of fresh fruit, avocado toast, scrambled eggs, coconut roti, toast, jam, butter, juice, tea, coffee... Best accommodation in our 2 months of travelling Asia so far.

Very nice location, close to Botanic Gardens and it was easy to move around this area by walking and tuktuks. Owner family is very friendly and helpful, I felt very comfortable and like at home in their place :) I had dinner at the property which was really good! The pool is amazing, great way to relax after busy day seeing the city. You can see interesting animals directly from the pool which was very nice too. Room itself was very clean and very comfortable! I would definitely stay here again :)

Kandy is a very busy and loud city- therefore we were lucky to find this place, because after our trip in Sigiriya we wanted to have a little break with a pool - so this place was perfect. During the night it is quiet. During the day you can hear some cars, but in total a quiet place. Michael, Alexandra and their daughter Maya did everything to make it even better. They are so welcoming and super friendly people and gave us so many recommendations for shopping in kandy or what to see on our way to Ella. It was just perfect. On plus they prepared every morning a very delicious breakfast with a variation of fruits, eggs, bread, waffle or Sri Lankan breakfast, which changed every day (every morning we were pretty excited to go to the breakfast). The location is just 15 minutes walk from botanical garden and 20 minutes by tuk tuk to the city center. When you have the app “pick me” not a problem at all. The street to the house is very steep, but with little breaks or a tuk tuk no problem at all. After sunset you can see the bats flying over the house. I can highly recommend this place !

The alleyway to the hotel is quite steep and could be dark at night. If you plan to get there by your own car better do it in a daylight.

One of the best hotels and affordable on the island! Clean rooms, fresh linen and towels, satisfying breakfast, wonderful view from terrace and windows. The pool is clean and refreshing. Perfect location to reach the botanical garden early than others and 20 minutes from the city center by tuk-tuk. Good eating out options nearby, ask host for recommendations. Very unique gift shop with handmade items crafted responsibly.

That we couldn't stay longer.

Chic and beautiful place run by the extremely nice and helpful Alexandra and Michael. We stayed one night in order to visit the Botanical Gardens ( highly recommend) for which it was superbly located. The attention to detail here is miles above what we have so far experienced in Sri Lanka. The pool was gorgeous and the breakfast Michelin starred! Highly recommend.

We loved everything.

Fantastic stay near the botanical Gardens with a lovely family. The location is fantastic, and the facilities excellent in a beautiful building. We loved chatting with hosts Michaël and Alex and the rooftop terrace was great for early evening drinks. The pool was great too! The property was extremely clean and the hosts had thought of everything for our stay. Breakfast was so delicious and the hosts also helped us to research train timetables for onward travel. We would highly recommend this place to stay in Kandy!

Super friendly hosts, very nice house, peaceful, especially after all the noise from being out in Kandy. Amazing breakfast, clean rooms, nice pool, value for money. It's a tuk tuk drive from touristy sites of Kandy but that's a good thing to come back to the peaceful oasis. We loved it!

Great location for visiting the botanic gardens, but a bit further away from Kandy city center. Steep road to get to the house.

Great place to stay if you’re visiting Kandy and want to go to the Botanic Gardens. Very kind host who has good tips and cares about the local population and the environment.

It is home away from home. Cozy vibe. Super quite and clean. I love the vibe in here. The family are so sweet and very accommodating. Breakfast was superb. I would definitely wanna stay here again when I comeback. Overall stay it was exceptional. Thank you Michael & Alex.

A very comfortable and nice stay, on a little hill in peradeniya, very close to the botanic garden, and the university. I absolutely loved the breakfast that Alex prepared every morning, it's delicious and nutritious and varied every day. The hosts, Michael and Alex, and Maia their daughter, are very friendly. They are very eco-conscious, it's inspiring to see them use organic food, and serve drinks and water in glass bottles, etc. From the little details you can tell that this house is made from wonderful heart. In the yard, there is also a very nice swimming pool, and around sunset the big bats (as large as a big eagle!) from the botanic garden would fly near, and it's quite amazing to see. It's a place of comfort, peace and quiet to return to after a day's travel and sightseeing around Kandy. Take a swim in the pool, have a nice hot shower, and drink the ice tea made by the host provided for free, and have a wonderful night of sleep.

What a great place! Very nice house with a nice atmosphere. Alexandra & Michael gave us the warmest welcome, we really felt at home. There is a great view of the mountains from the swimming pool. The room was super clean and the breakfast delicious! Would definitely recommend this B&B!

Everything was fine ! The place is located on a bit of a steep hill and our vehicle being a small car could not quite pull up the hill until Michael kindly gave it a push and we made it to the top 😄

We were welcomed warmly and the place was absolutely clean as expected. We were also served an outstanding breakfast which we cannot commend enough. It was a comfortable stay for 1 night.

Really great stay. Modern cosy house with French charm. The room is very clean and comfortable - everything is left to chance. The couple who run the property are nice, friendly and attentive - here you feel that you are really welcome guest. Delicious breakfast!

We had an amazing 3 nights at Michael and Alex's homestay. I would highly recommend it. The views are incredible, the swimming pool was a very welcome cool down. You are only a short walk to shops, restaurants and the Botanical Gardens. Fab breakfasts too!

Our stay at De Paris a Kandy was wonderful. The hotel is like a bed & breakfast situated in a beautiful, modern and spacious home. The hosts, Michele and Alexandra, were so kind and welcoming to our family. The breakfasts were a real treat and prepared very fresh and the rooms and bathrooms were well equipped, clean and perfect for our family. The A/C worked well and there was a nice pool we used, as well as several outdoor and common areas. The location is close to the botanical gardens and about a 10-15 minute tuk-tuk ride from the center of Kandy (still close enough to order take-out or delivery!).
