This place deserves to be popular. Nice, clean, modern, balcony, breakfast, laundry service. Short walk around the lake into town. But even better are the staff. They helped me alot when I needed a bit of help contacting guides for other trips i'd arranged. And they helped chase away the monkeys at breakfast, because those monkeys will get your breakfast if you're not fast enough.

Very Friendly employees

The guys managing this property were exceptionally kind and polite. Called me an Uber when I needed it, advised me on the area and even showed me a tricky short cut to some excellent restaurants in the vicinity. Check out the No Name restaurant and nearby pizza! Breakfast was excellent and the chef is top notch!

Good base hotel in Kandy

Nice hotel on the far end of the lake, so out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to get in easily. A good base for a couple of nights with friendly staff.

Nicola

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Pretty average property - room was clean although towels were not. Seemed to be very short on staff so service was not great. Breakfast was average. Also up a private road which is tricky to find and not safe to walk in the dark. Appreciate you get what you pay for and it was fine for one night, but definitely did not live up to the reviews for me.

Great stay

King of Kandy was comfortable, walkable to the major sites, good value and spotless. The manager used to work as a cook and makes great breakfasts. Persist when looking for it; it's on a private road but there is a sign.

I'm so glad I found this unique place that felt like our private tower in Kandy. The name actually lives up to the hotel. The rooms and halls are spacious and airy, the balcony with breakfast tables and lots of space for exercising and enjoying the mountain view... A walk to the lake nearby is like a mini safari: bats, iguanas, ducks, fish and turtles entertain your morning. The comfort, aesthetics and stuff are great. I'd come back here.
