Siamo andati con la famiglia , siamo stati molto bene .😊
Igienico molto carenze.
Breakfast was good. Location was close to the city.
We didn't receive the room we booked in. No view, two single beds instead of a double bed, no wifi access, no water bottles, tea, coffee maker or kettle in the room, no mini bar, the hot water shower was very slow and not enough water to have a shower, there were several cockraches in the room from the first moment we stepped in, no sound proof ability in the room as mentioned. No working desk as mentioned. The TV wasn't working either. The roof was dropping water on the floor through the night. When complained about the room being mixed up and missing what we ordered the management was giving excuses that the previous booked in people haven't left yet. But if we have booked they should provide the booked room. At the end the card payment machine was running low on battery and had to make a bank transfer to pay them. Fortunately had the bank transfer ability. Very dissapounted how they treat the clients. The outside of the room everywhere smelled a lot with cigarrete smoke although was mentioned as no smoking.
Didnot stay for the breakfast
There was a good treat there. And it's food very taste. A good and friendly staff worked there.
Location and view is calm and quite
We really like the place! Nice hotel with comfortable rooms! Good location! Perfect breakfast! Friendly staff! Great owner! Highly recommended place! We're gonna come back for sure! Nagyon szerettük a helyet! Szép hotel kényelmes szobákkal jó elhelyezkedéssel! Bőséges reggeli kontinentális és tradicionális ízekkel! Barátságos személyzet, nagyszerű főnök! Nagyon ajánlott szálloda ár-érték arányban kiváló! Biztos visszatérünk még! Trip4Fun
Nice and clean place. No disturbances. Friendly staff. Value for the price. Had a great time with the family at Sobaya Hotel.
Great breakfast, very attending and kind staff. Good location, spacious. Good value for money.
Overall cleaning of room and bathroom, ants in room, wall with some stains. AC, TV are bit older. Steep access may be difficult.
Good cozy clean room with all facilities provided as mentioned.....special thanks to the staff who went above and beyond their way to make sure we had all we needed as were traveling with kids.....5 mins drive to Kandy lake n city.... overall good place
Value for money
Friendly staff
None
1.Direct monitoring/supervision/involvement/visit on staff & proceedings from the manager/owner and neat & clean. 2. Open for both local & foreigners with same interests
There is space to improve the Access & Movement for vehical from entrance to front door.
It's a nice, clean place. The owner and the staff were very friendly. They serve a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast that my family loved.
Nothing
Due to some problems while checking in, we got offered a more expensive room on a discount. This room was amazing, and we had a VERY comfortable night in Kandy because of this. We finally encountered a shower like the one at home. The room had an amazing view over Kandy, and at sundown we spotted a migration(?) Of megabats
The staff was awesome and the owner very welcoming and helpful. They helped us with everything we needed and always smiled!
Everything was over our expectations regarding the staff and the owner!
I loved the stay. All are very nice and very friendly. I will definitely come back. Will recommend to everyone. Great location staff are friendly. Breakfast was amazing.

Staff + Price + Service + Food Quality + Service Quality
Nice place
Everything was ok
Great food too
More staff
Friendly staff, cleanliness
The Beds height is too high. Not suitable for children.
it is a nice and easy location. Some rooms has terraces, which is effordable and really nice. Breakfast was included and all in one; the rate is very fair for what you get. What you cannot pay because it is priceless is this amazing staff working there. They were so helpful and handsome and did whatever they could to assist and make us the most comfortable stay. The manager himself made us having a better stay and enjoying better service than in any other more expensive/luxury stay we experienced for now. Also, due to low season we had an upgraded room with balcony, for another upgrade we could have the terrace with mountains view, but we denied. Still we had a great view from the balcony (see picture)
All good. The way is okay to walk if you are fit, tuktuks are a good choice and need around 7minutes from the city centre, but the value definitely worth it.
The hospitality of the owner and staffs made our day more happy. It was pleasant stay.
Very clean and comfortable place. Staff's are very friendly and value for money. Highly recommended 👌
Good staff and good meals
Nice assistants. Good food.
Road
The manager and his assitant us very friendly and supportive.basicly that was good hotel but there are unsnsuffient as 3 star hotel facility, the hotel team must pay attention for that,
Newly built interiors
Hotel was new and clean. Mohan the chef cum manager was excellent and was very helpful . He helped me in getting my medicines and was very polite.

Better for the price we paid. Recommend for sure.
This hotel is situated in nice & peace Palace.facilities & care taker is very friendly.i wish i will visit there next time...
All good.good service .friendly staff.very clean.nice view.good Air condition..very good breakfast ..good television..
The best thing about this property was the clean room and shower and kind staff
I booked using credit card and as soon as we arrived, the manager was more interested in knowing if I had cash to pay because their POS machine was not working. There was total disregard for customer service.
view from room
maybe I would appreciate the dinner offer
Good Hotel Good People, clean and neat atmosphere
Location, no restaurant near hotel
Helpful staffs
Location. Difficult to locate. Access road dark with no lights. Steep hill.
Picked this as it was close to Kandy Backpackers (we were backpackers but we stayed in private rooms close to a recommended/sociable hostel). Pros - Nice, clean modern, AC, felt the most hotel like place I had stayed in Sri Lanka so far. Hot shower.
Cons - up a steep hill and the breakfast wasn’t great, would’ve preferred a western breakfast to a Sri Lankan one.
