    It was a bit loud in the evening because local people had kind of party on viewpoint, so we couldn't sleep. But that's not apartments fault.

    It was a good apartment with a nice owner, the location is high on the hill but by fact you need just 10 minutes to get to the lake.

    There's no wifi in the room, only in some areas of the lobby. The bathroom needs some proper cleaning and maintenance.

    Good location (10 min walk to the city center) with a lake view. Breakfast was good and the owner is very friendly.

    Very good location and a very nice helpful manager. Breakfast was delicious. Great view on the Kandy lake. Monkeys also attended our balcony, so we could stay in our room and have a look at the wildlife from very close :)

    Horrible. Stains on everything. Given towels at least used 1,000 times and torn. 😱 The hotel has only two staff members, and they confirmed they do not have any new towels. 😱 The bathroom is awful. 😱 The AC unit is ancient and does not cool the room. 🥵 We had to stay three nights and had no room service. 😱 Imagine four days without any room cleanup. 😱 Don't choose this place even if you can't find any accommodations in Kandy City; look elsewhere. 😱 The hotel deserves a minus one-star rating. 👎

    The rooms are nothing like in the pictures! Mold in the room and not just little spots...would really not recommend staying here from a health perspective. Breakfast was okay but toast had also some mold on it. The staff was doing it's best though to compensate for it.

    The staff! They are really helpful and do their best. Location is also not bad. Balcony is also a nice add on.

    Really nice location, about 15minutes to the center (take the shortcut by the royal park). Clean room, clean bathroom, safe private parking. Great breakfast and exceptional hospitality! We really felt taken care of. Would stay again.

    The rooms were very spacious and clean. The bathrooms were nice too. The location was a bit far from the main busy area, however, I didn't mind walking down or catching a tuktuk/bike down on pick me app. I'd highly suggest staying here and I'd definitely stay here again without any hesitation.

    View straight out was blocked by a building. There was an old smell in the room..like damp. Sockets were a struggle to use with our adapters.

    The bed was very comfortable. The room had a historic feel about it. Nice view to the right up towards the hill. The reception staff were brilliant listeners and despite our tired indecision about leaving time, he thankfully booked a driver and we got a knock at 6.20am. Perfect.

    the location is far from the centre of Kandy. it's on a hill and in a location where there is nothing nearby. The room was terrible and in no way matched the booking photos. I had booked 2 nights and only stayed one!

    Nothing to Say anything

    My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ceyloni Lake Residency during our visit to Kandy, Sri Lanka, and our experience was nothing short of fantastic. This hidden gem offers a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and breathtaking views that made our stay truly memorable. The location of the hotel is a definite highlight, providing a stunning panorama of the iconic Sri Dalada Maligawa and the charming Kandy town. Waking up to such a picturesque sight from our room was a surreal experience, and it added an extra layer of tranquility to our holiday. The staff at Ceyloni Lake Residency deserve special commendation. From the moment we checked in until our departure, the team was exceptionally friendly, accommodating, and always ready to assist. Their genuine warmth and willingness to go the extra mile truly enhanced our overall stay. Whether we needed recommendations for local attractions or assistance with any requests, the staff's helpful attitude made us feel at home. The accommodation itself was not only aesthetically pleasing but also offered a sense of luxury without breaking the bank. The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort. The attention to detail was evident, from the quality of the furnishings to the little touches that made the ambiance inviting. One of the highlights for us was the affordability of Ceyloni Lake Residency. The value for money we received exceeded our expectations, making this stay an excellent investment in our holiday experience. The amenities provided, coupled with the stunning surroundings, truly made it a worthwhile choice. In conclusion, our stay at Ceyloni Lake Residency was a delightful escape that exceeded our expectations. The combination of a prime location, friendly staff, and excellent value for money makes this hotel a top choice for anyone visiting Kandy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend

    The wifi didn’t work. The bathroom was dirty, hairs all in the corners and sides of the floor. The bath looked as though it hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. The bedroom was small and not what we were expecting based on the photos. The bathroom towels were nothing like the pictures either. The door to the balcony had gaps above and below the door so bugs could get in easily, lots of small flies around us when we were in the room.

    The staff were super friendly and helpful, they were always able to order us a Tuk Tuk when we needed. Ok for one night stay in Kandy.
