Shani Residence Kandy

We absolutely loved staying here! The view from the balcony was excellent & the host was amazing. Spoke very good English & very knowledgeable on the area! Location was perfect. Great A/C.

The only minor thing was you couldn’t access bottled water. So make sure you buy plenty of bottle water before or the place - maybe could do a honesty box & keep the fridge unlocked for guests?

Alles. Eine superfreundliche, unaufdringliche Gastgeberfamilie, die bei Bedarf weiterhilft. Von den beiden Zimmern mit Balkon ein wunderbarer Blick über Kandy, Frühstück auf der Dachterasse. Sauber, komplett ausgestattet, zentrumsnah.

L’amabilitat del propietari, les vistes, estava molt net. La terrassa.

Très jolie chambre avec tout ce dont on a besoin. Le quartier est calme, le lit confortable, nous avons très bien dormi. La climatisation était agréable également vu les températures durant notre séjour. Tout était parfaitement propre et l’eau pour la douche était chaude. Il est facile de se déplacer et de rejoindre le centre-ville/lac/temple à pieds (environ 10-15min, ça grimpe un peu au retour mais rien de problématique pour nous). Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et ont organisé le trajet pour notre prochaine destination avec un super chauffeur/guide, ce qui nous a permis de découvrir pleins d’endroits sur le chemin.

Really nice place, clean and practical. 5 mins to city centre. Really nice views and a helpful host.

Nothing.

Very good view. Staff is very nice.

Room is not very big. Ok for 1 person. The serious downside is dogs barking whole night.

Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal, toller Blick vom Balkon, super Lage

Unglaublich nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter!! Wir hatten ein Problem vor Ort mit vier gebuchten Tickets. Die ganze Familie hat sich mit großer Unterstützung dafür eingesetzt, um uns zu helfen. Lage ist perfekt in Seenähe.

Super Lage etwas erhöht mit schönem Blick auf Kandy. Leckeres frühstück zum guten Preis. Sehr freundliche Eigentümer.

Zimmer sehr hellhörig und schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Klimaanlage roch modrig und war offenbar verschimmelt.

It was a simple room, but it was clean and conveniently located close to everything. The hotel also has a rooftop area where you can relax and enjoy a drink before going to your room. The host was very helpful and sent us useful links about things to do in Kandy.

Bardzo miłe miejsce, czysto, spokojnie, miła obsługa.

Nothing

Very nice view over Kandy, easily reachable, extremely helpful staff and delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace!!

Staff pulizia camere, breakfast.

Emplacement proche du lac de quelques bars et restos. Accueil chaleureux. Wifi, eau fraîche sur place avec supplément. Bonne communication. Chambre propre .

Douche pas assez chaude et en pression comme dans beaucoup d'endroits.

Amazing view, wow! Super clean Very central

Bedsheets were super rough. Could just use regular bed sheets.

Very nice to stay in Kandy, close to city center and the lake, and very quiet. Warm welcome from the local family. Beautiful view on the hills.

Nothing special

Great location less than 10 minute walk to the main area, everyone was very friendly and the room was comfortable.

I gestori della struttura e la struttura stessa

Non c'era un ristorante vicino,

Die Besitzer waren tolle Gastgeber. Sie waren sehr hilfsbereit und haben uns super Tipps gegeben. Die Lage ist perfekt. Zentral und doch ruhig mit einer tollen Aussicht. Man kann in ca 10-15 Min ganz entspannt in die Stadt und zum Tempel laufen. Die Aussicht ist toll. Es ist schön auf dem Balkon zu sitzen und das Treiben zu beobachten. Klare Empfehlung.

Nichts. Alles war super.

Struttura immersa nel verde in una posizione centrale, colazione super abbondante e personale disponibile

Nice rooms with comfortable beds, hot water, and a lovely view of the city. The staff were fantastic and were always so responsive.

Stanza e bagno molto puliti, letto comodo, personale gentile. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Stanza piccola, tende non oscuranti

A neat and basic hotel that was clean and did a good job for a short stay. Great view from the balcony

It was all good. Very basic place but can’t complain

Lovely, kind & helpful hosts who went out of their way to help us. Fantastic view from the balcony. The room is tiny but spotlessly clean, comfy bed & pillows, cosy blanket for the slightly cooler Kandy nights. Lots of natural light & windows to enjoy the view. We were given clean towels & tea/coffee/water was topped up on 3rd day which was unusual in Sri Lanka. Great value & would highly recommend staying here.

Some clothes storage would have been good but it wasn't really a problem to leave clothes in our backpacks.

La amabilidad del dueño y la ubicación

Het questhouse lag gunstig op 15 minuten lopen van het centrum. De kamer was schoon en had een mooi uitzicht op de stad. De eigenaar was behulpzaam.

- perfekte Lage, Innenstadt fußläufig erreichbar - Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit - schöne Aussicht von der Dachterrasse - Preis-Leistung super!

La posizione, la pulizia e la gentilezza.

Amazing views of Kandy from our balcony! Comfy room. Owner is friendly and will give you tips on what to visit/where to go. He will ve available via WhatsApp.

A soli 10 minuti a piedi dal centro città, ha un bellissimo terrazzo comune con una vista magnifica, personale gentile, camera molto pulita e profumata. Siamo davvero soddisfatti

The location is great, it is located 10min walk from the center but it is really quiet, has great views. Nice rooms, the host is very nice and helpful!

The wifi signal was not very strong

Quiet location.Too far away from town.

Location.

Location quite close to Kandy main town centre and the lake and the amenities a town centre offers. Friendly and helpful hosts.

Nothing

This was a lovely guest house, with great views over the town and probably the cleanest bathroom of anywhere I've stayed over the last 3 months in Asia. The owner was very sweet and had QR codes set up that led you to lots of handy tourist information, but he was also available to answer questions. I'll definitely stay here again.

The hotel has a parking lot, feel safer parking inside, our room has a very beautiful balcony, it’s a pity that I don’t have enough time to enjoy the view. The room is very clean.

The hotel is on the mountain, if you drive a car too, you need a very good driving skill.

Clean room with AC and everything we needed. Very helpful owners who gave us some tips and stored our luggage on our day of departure. The walk into the centre is not too far but it is quite an uphill walk. No breakfast options around so you have to go elsewhere (we liked the secret alley cafe and the department of coffee). The Boise level was alright, the curtains could be darker as it was quite bright in the morning.

Location was great, 5 minute walk to the lake. Downhill on the way to the lake but up hill on the way back. Quiet place away from the main area.

Great location, clean and comfortable

Nothing

Gorgeous place to stay, very close to the town and Beautiful views of the landscape from the balcony! Host is very helpful! Great value for money!

Nothing!

Great value for money. Lovely view from our room. The owner was very helpful.

A small thing, but the WiFi wasn’t working properly when we were there when we really needed it. But the owner helped us out straight away and was trying to fix it immediately.

All was fantastic! Clean, beautiful view and quiet, but close distance to city. Very, very helpful host!!!! Thank you!

Staff were super helpful and put us in touch with someone who could help out with our tuk tuk. Shani couldn’t do enough to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay here.

The room was very nice, clean and comfortable bed. The view is an amazing! There is also a rooftop to sit, relax and take in the view of Kandy. Restaurants, shops, tourist attractions and Kandy Lake are within walking distance.

Everything was good.

This accommodation is really super organized, the host sent us all the sights and good places to eat nearby via WhatsApp. That was really helpful and there were some great suggestions. The location of the accommodation is great, you can walk to the city center and Kandy Lake in under 10 minutes.

Simple, but very nice place close to the center of Kandy. The hosts were very kind and the room was nice and tidy.

Loved the location and the balcony! Our host was very attentive and informative.

We liked everything.

Very clean, with a very nice view from the terrace. The host is super kind

Breakfast a bit pricey

Great location just up the hill from the lake. Owner was very helpful giving us all the info we needed and sharing recommendations with us. Bathroom and shower was good with plenty of hot water.

The three rooms to the rear of the building are dark with little or no view. If you want the view over the sports ground you need to check availability.

I like Shani Residence, I have stayed several times and I surely return! : very friendly owners, nice room, beautiful wiev and in walking distance to the city center/ the lake/ the tempel! Good value for money!

Location was really top , and host was ultra friendly

Incredible view, super clean and comfy beds. Very friendly, informative and welcoming hosts. Very good value for money. Hot showers.

Easy location to walk into town. Nice view. The owners were so helpful with really good recommendations. The room was clean and really comfortable! Highly recommend.

The room was comfortable and clean. The hosts were very attentive and provided us with everything we asked for. The location is great at such a short walk to town but just enough out that you get some peace and quiet.

Our room didn't have a window you could look out of or access to the balcony but there was a rooftop you can spend time on

The room was spotless and comfortable, the bathroom was amazing with hot water and beautiful decor, and the view and location were exceptional. The owner was friendly and helpful. We highly recommend it!

It would be perfect if breakfast was also offered. However, this did not bother us much.

Such a comfortable and lovely stay. Very clean, every little detail is thought of, the views are beautiful! The beds are super comfy, the bathroom has hot water and a curtain for the shower, both fan and AC. Loved the location, a short walk from town yet in a quiet area. A true homestay experience, the family went above and beyond to accommodate us, gave us an extra blanket as soon as we asked, they even fixed my bag that was broken! We really appreciated the genuine recommendations, not trying to sell us ‘tourist stuff’. Thank you sooo much, we’ll come back again!

Loved everything, on a personal note I wake up with light and the curtains are white. If you’re like me, don’t forget to bring your mask to sleep like a baby!

Amazing stay here! The room was so clean and comfortable, the place is looked after well. Working AC, hot water and wifi which was great. The location was perfect, only a short walk downhill (10 mins) to the city centre to food outlets etc. The owner was very friendly and helped organise a tuktuk on our departure.

Nothing to fault!

Neat and clean rooms. Well mannered and helping nature of the owner. Very kind to the guests. Facilities provided are good. Clean and beat rooms. Everything was good. No complaints.

Everything is good. Only weakness is that there is no attached restaurant.

Well-equipped compared to other stays. Clean

the view, the kindness of the family hosting

they should share more information, including telling tourists when there are loud prayers the whole night in the temples the room is a bit small

Great view and nice sitting on balcony. Room was very clean and air con worked well. Friendly staff including an older man who helped us out with an extortion effort by a tuk tuk driver.

The great view means it’s up a hill. It’s a quick walk to the city and there is a short cut they will tell you about though. Shower pressure wasn’t great.

Great localisation and really nice and helpful hosts. Clean and cosy room

Very friendly staff. Value for money. Rooms are clean and up to expectations.Great location near all destinations. Definitely come back here.

Sparkling clean, spacious room, large Kingsize bed, so comfy, had the best nights sleep after a long journey.Exquisite views over Kandy. Owner and daughter are very friendly and polite. I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Nothing.

- Staff super kind - Position top

- the beedsheets was not properly cleaned and we ask for changing it

the rooms were really clean

Very nice and helpful owner. Comfortable stay, with a clean room. Away from all the business of Kandy but close enough to walk to everything
