Kandy Fortress

I like a location 📍 and good place staf is very calm

Very comfortable

There is a mini fridge in the room

Es war sehr schön und angenehm. Die Gastgeberin war so freundlich und hat uns immerzu geholfen.

Amazing host, such a lovely lady named Kumari.. She was so sweet and was entirely looking forward to help me in every way. She helped me with tuk tuk which was repeatedly cancelled due to weather in pickme app. I was there on my birthday and she celebrated and arranged a lil bday cake cutting and breakfast for me also she gifted my cute present as a token of love. I highly recommend this place and love love love to Kumari.

Everything was perfect

Rooms are spacious, clean and modern, second floor rooms have lovely balconies, you're on top of the mountain and the view is very nice, especially if you go on the rooftop. The place is quite, 10-15 minutes walk to the lake (when you go down the road, but longer when you return, so better order a bike or a tuktuk). But the best part is the owner - Kumari is a great, welcoming, helpful and very kind host. I will be happy to come and stay again.

Location view

Me and my friend was staying here during our birthday and she and my guide gave a very beautiful surprise to us. The home owner made some really delicious items to eat away. Her hospitality, her pets and the view from the balcony really made our stay exceptional on our birthdays. Thank you once again.

Clean and comfortable room

The location is quite remote and far from the shops and restaurants, up a steep hill. Make sure you take everything you will need as there are no restaurants except in the town. There was an ant infestation in the bathroom, I had to spray them off the toilet with water. Also a barking dog that was going 24/7. The owner told me it was next doors and keeps coming onto her property.

Very nice place. The owner is very kind person. There some dogs, but they are friendly and not bothering. Cute and clean rooms. Good view. No noice. You need to go up on the heel, but it worth it. Very quite.

Everything is good.

Best homestay i had in sri lanka. The owner is so so so nice and kind and with big heart. I was sick she brought me egs and medicine and so so much more. Everything was clean the bed was nice, the view was amazing, I just felt so much comfortable. Yes sure it's not in the kandy city but it's really not a big problem to get there with tuktuk or take the stairs. Thank you for this amazing place with amazing energy. Send you love and light zuzana.

I stayed at this homestay for 3 days and had a wonderful experience. The place was very clean, peaceful, and felt like home. The host was kind and helpful throughout my stay. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a comfortable stay.

Everything is good. Very friendly owner. Beautiful view 😍 You can to order taxi by pick me or you can get lake by walking (around 15-20 minutes).

Für das Geld war dir Ausstattung ok und Raumgröße angemessen. Eine spontane Stornierung wurde sofort freundlich akzeptiert.

Mit dem Auto erreicht man dir Unterkunft quasi nicht, ohne das Auto zu zerstören. Die Unterkunft liegt ganz oben in Kandy, sodass man einmal oben angekommen ist wenig Lust hat nochmal nach unten zu gehen/fahren. Das Personal war zu unserem Fahrer sehr unfreundlich,wodurch wir uns dort nicht mehr wohl gefühlt hatten,auch wenn sie zu uns freundlich waren. Das Zimmer mit der Klimaanlage war feucht und man sah an den Wänden bereits große Wasserflecken. Dies sei wohl vom Regen gekommen, aber es wirkte eher als würde es bald schimmeln.

Clean nice room with everything you need and the woman running the place is so incredibly kind. Its a little far from Kandy city center, but theres a path from the property down to the road below, making it quite easy to get down to the lake and tooth temple. Maybe a 15-20 min walk, then another 10 min or so to the city center. This is the best place to stay in Kandy.

Nothing

A very nice and beautiful place in Kandy and very comfortable rooms for the price paid.

If you're looking for a quiet and comfortable place away from the chaos of the city, Kandy Fortress is perfect. The property is neat and clean, with a peaceful atmosphere that's ideal for relaxing. The host was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to spend quality time with friends or a loved one.

L’habitacio es ideal, el llit super gran i comodissim!! Tot net la terraça i l’entorn maquissim.

Esta una mica lluny de tot i has danar sempre amb tuktuk

A wonderful experience. Kumari was incredibly helpful and always available, really making the stay easy and comfortable. The room was spotless, modern and surrounded by beautiful nature with great views. City center lake just 10min away by tuktuk. Everything felt very well taken care of, calm and relaxed. Overall, a very pleasant and smooth stay—highly recommend!

This is best place in kandy. We should highly appreciate the way she treats us so kindly. Good luck.❤️❤️

Peaceful and quiet

I recently went on a pilgrimage (Dalada Wandana) and stayed at this hotel with my family .My journey was quite tiring, but the hotel provided a very comfortable and welcoming stay. I was especially touched by their generous hospitality .The service was excellent, and the staff were kind and caring throughout my stay. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for fellow pilgrims. A truly five-star experience!

Service and the hospitality given by the owner is exceptional. Newly built property with useful amenities including a mini kitchen

The owner's wife gave us pancakes and food for free, was nice. The room had space. And balcony.

A dog was walking around free in the room, the bed was not comfortable because of the old mattress, cement on the floor, not so nice like in the pictures. If you come, ask for a room at ground floor, looks better.

Spotless and Spacious room with a large balcony where you will host friendly monkeys early morning 😎 Perfect spot for whoever looking for rest and calm. The owner is super nice and helpful

Host was available instantly on the phone before arrival and after landing at property . This made the differance. Host is fine lady , smiling lady ; my family become very good freind of HOST

Every thing was fine ; we suggested to keep OVEN in the Kitchen ; that's the only improvement

Room was spacious and clean and a nice quiet area close to town. Host is a wonderful woman who will do anything to help you enjoy your stay.

Na

Great owner! Comfortable bed, big and bright room. Hot water, good pressure, very clean. Complimentary tea. Kettle, glasses and water in the room. One of the best rooms we had in Sri Lanka! It might be tricky to find it but the view from the window is worth it.

A bit far from the town and non of tuk tuks wanted to go up there.

It was a local quiet neighborhood which was very nice. A lot of space, very clean, comfy bed and extremely friendly host. Very good value for money. We can only recommend!!

As other people say, it is on a hill. But if you walk down to city center it’s only like 25min which is super. It can be a bit of a workout walking back up tho

I love everything about my stay in Kandy Fortress and feel fortunate I have met Kumari, one of the nicest people on the island. She is people's person, will do anything to make your stay memorable in her happy home. Love her cooking, positivity and her attitude.

My stay was cut short but I definitely coming back.

We stayed in the one bedroom house which was very comfortable, clean and spacious - it also came with some tea and a kettle which was nice in the mornings. The hostess was very sweet, she brought us biscuits and bananas when we arrived. The bathroom was very modern and it had hot water. Be careful with the moneys and opening windows, we had one climb into our room. The view was spectacular as the location was more in hills of Kandy than the center, but this meant that it was very quiet and peaceful. It was also located on the side of the sunrise so if you’re lucky, you could get a gorgeous view. Additionally, we had to change the dates by one night and the host was very accommodating with this at no extra charge for the inconvenience.

The location is a bit far, it is a 20/25 minute walk, up/down hills and rocky stairs. At night it was quite difficult as it was very dark, we had to use head torches to see. The hostess offered us tickets to see a typical Kandyan dance which we went to see but later had it added to our final payment (in hindsight we should have known this would be at an additional cost - lkr2000 each). Personally, i don’t know if it was worth seeing (we were in a very crowded auditorium right at the back and could barely see the stage) but it is part of the areas tradition.

Staff is great. There service is good and they offer us tea and coffee. Bathroom has hot water and the balcony view is great.

Not great for the value but its fine. Hot water tap is broken.

Very kind and helpful host. The room was very comfortable. There was also access to kitchen and living room. Outside the noisy Kandy, but within a walking distance to the Temple and lake when going down. Going up best to take Tuk. You can buy tickets from host for Kandy Dance show, which was a very worthwhile experience!

This place is very clean and the prices are also reasonable great place the owner also very friendly good place to stay..

This place is very clean and the prices are also reasonable great place the owner also very friendly good place to stay..❤️❤️😊

Kumari was an exceptional hostess! When our tuk tuk driver failed to show up to take us to the train she knew who to call. The room, had a private bathroom, electric kettle, table with two chairs and two chairs on the veranda. She made one traditional breakfast for us. It was delicious!

It was farther than we expected from the city which made it hard to get a tuk tuk. But we discovered if we walked a bit down the stairs they would come by and take us where we needed to go.

a large room with a large living room, bathroom and kitchen where you can heat food or make tea. Very clean and very comfortable, in silence, on a hill with a view of the beautiful mountains. The facility was not in the center, but there are cheap tuk tuks everywhere that took us everywhere. The owner is the nicest and most helpful person in the world! If we ever come back to Sri Lanka, we will definitely stay there!

Adding a small table or teapot is better beside the beds

The ideal homestay

very nice guest house with a beautiful room, an amazing view and a really kind host. Great value for money. The guest house is on the hill but you can go easily by foot in the city, it’s not too far.

Had a fantastic stay at the Kandy Fortress Hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, providing a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any requests and making sure my stay was as enjoyable as possible. The breakfast was a highlight, with a delicious variety of options that set me up perfectly for the day ahead. The hotel's location was convenient, making it easy to explore the attractions in Kandy while offering a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. I highly recommend Kandy Fortress Hotel for a pleasant and comfortable stay in Kandy. I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit!

View

Such a lovely view from the room, spacious and cosy. The host took great care of me and made sure I was comfortable.

There are dogs that stay at the property, who constantly bark at guests when trying to leave or arrive. Maybe some more soundproofing on the doors would be a nice addition to an already lovely homestay.

Lovely property, unfortunately found a cock roach in the bathroom but staff sorted it out straight away. One thing though, I don’t think staff spoke much English.

Very clean and spacious. Lovely owner. Quiet, green surroundings. Huge rooms. The room didn’t initially have a fridge, fan or toaster but these were quickly supplied when requested. I definitely recommend this place to others. It was like having our own house in Kandy. Thank you, Kumari.

It’s difficult to get a tuk tuk early in the morning. You can walk down the steps to the centre of Kandy but if you don’t want to climb back up, you will spend about $1.50 for a tuk tuk each time (not much, but needs to be factored into overall price if you’re going to the centre multiple times as we were). No sign on building.

Breakfast is verry taste..location is good..The owner and staff are very professional and friendly...im recomonded this place..we are come againe..

The owner and staff are very professional and friendly.

Everything is so good. The location is not exactly in the center but maybe it's better, because it's quiet. The owner is so kind and helpful and the room we got is equipped with a nice kitchen and a very spacious bathroom. AC is working well.

The location was perfect very central to almost everything. The host was super nice and gave us some food to take with us for our journey. Good value for the money

You could include a squeegee or a mop to dry the bathroom after the shower for when you need to use just the toilet

The owner and staff are very professional and friendly. We planned to stay one night but we stayed six days and enjoyed our vacation. And also the meals are tasty and the price is also fair.

Comfortable and clean. Nice to have separate living area. Hot water was a bonus. Great value for money

Inconsistent wifi

Everything is good

There was ants on the walls and it’s a lot

The host was super kind and was very helpful, was always available, tried to communicate eveything and she even helped me with my luggage when I was travelling to a different city. They also have a mosquito net in some rooms. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. I would definitely repeat again

The room and our host was exceptional. It was my favorite place to stay in Sri Lanka. It is about a 10- 15 minute walk to local restaurants. We absolutely loved our time here and ended up staying for a week. Thank you!!

Such a pleasant stay in Kandy with beautiful host Kumari, who cared for me and made me feel like home. Very nice place up the hill in walking distance into town. Thank you so much and all the best for you and your future plans!

The stay in Kandy Fortress was wonderful. The room was big, new, clean and had a wonderful view. The owner of the place helped me a lot during stay, always friendly and smiling. I would definitely recommend this place for the travellers, you will feel home.

Nothing

While the hotel itself provided comfortable accommodation, its location far from the city center significantly increased transportation costs.

We had a really good time in Kandy. It was clean, our host was really kind and helpful and we really liked the view from the roof. Thank you!
