    The staff didn't respond to our request to change the date and we had to go there to ask. They never did respond to any messages. Still work ongoing for a renovation. No hot water in our room first thing. Had to wait until later just before we left.

    Lovely clean modern room. Fabulous rooftop pool with views over the city.

    At times the hot water wouldn’t work but the staff were quick to fix this in under a minute when we called them.

    The staff were amazing, the rooms are large and comfortable and the location is fantastic. On booking we expected Serene Kandy to be further from town but on arrival realised it is actually close to the Kandy viewpoint and a short stroll downhill to the market, lake and central city (inclusive of the tooth temple). The staff are amazing in their service from start to end. Arjun was a fantastic host from welcome to departure and really gave a sense of care for us as guests. Our driver in Aruna is an amazing person who really made our travel to Sigriya, the ancient city, Golden temple and cave temple an amazing experience for such a packed program. All the remaining staff we engaged with were friendly, attentive and helpful with any request needed. Getting to and from the town is simple, walk or just ask the amazing staff for a tuk tuk. If you’re headed to the station or on an adventure within the surrounding area or Kandy the staff will arrange everything for you so you truly have a no worries holiday in Kandy. Be sure to swim early to enjoy the morning sunrise or at night when the temple is in full song and drumming in the night sky. A great place and thank you to all of the team there especially Aruna for all of your help and friendly hospitality.

    There was nothing bad about the property at all. For the price point it was good. Could have faster internet and heating in the pool. Though breakfast was very good it would be nice to have dinner option too. Not essential but an idea to put a bar in or minibar in each room. Small things really.

    The rooms were big and clean.. good showers with high pressure and comfortable beds. Staff were attentive and responsive. Excellent views from rooms too. Nice that there is an on site generator and AC worked brilliantly.

    The common areas and hall could be a little refreshed but this hasn’t impacted our stay as the room and rooftop were really great.

    Great rooftop pool to relax after a day of travelling and exploring. The room was very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The staff was very nice and helpful!
