The rooms are spacious and the lobby is lovely. It's a very friendly and hospitable hotel. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. They were very knowledgeable. They include a very nice breakfast. This hotel is ideally located. I highly recommend.

After miscalculating our travel time from Colombo, we ended up arriving at the Kandyan Manor at 4:30am. Upon finding us in the driveway at 6:30am after a quick kip in our van, Bhathiya whirled into action to whip up another breakfast and to make sure our room was ready. The house is beautiful, the food is great and Bhathiya and... More

Bhathiya and Suzy Ratwatte have a gem of a B&B operation. The house has been in Bhathiya's family for over 100 years. Rooms are large and comfortable, furnished with chairs, sofas, tables and of course double and/or single beds. Bathrooms are large with the usual amenities. The hosts are generous with their time and are always ready to stop what... More

This was a perfect place to stay after the noise and traffic in Kandy. The greenery is lovely and the food even better. But the best part are the owners. They are kind, warm and welcoming. Would absolutely stay there again!

I highly recommend the Kandyan Manor. During our travel in Sri Lanka, it was the best place we stayed at. We slept there 2 nights and I wished we would have stayed one week! The location is perfect because it is outside the bustling city of Kandy but close enough to go there within 10 minutes by 3 wheelers. The... More
