Top International Buddhist Museum Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"My parents were at Raddison and had the most memorable experience at the hotel! The trip was planned for my mums birthday and she had the best time ever! My parents vouched that the food was flavourful and delicious! The small birthday arrangements were extremely thoughtful and special! The rooms were really nice and modern! Thank you so much for remarkable hospitality!"

Grand Serendib Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a decent city hotel, it didn’t feel 5* at international standards but it was a good for one night and close to all the city activities."

Viyana Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place was clean, staff were very helpful, great location"

Cassendra Kandy

8/10 Good

"I initially had some issues with this facility, with the room and bathroom cleanliness. However, management rectified it and the remainder of my stay went smoothly. Property is somewhat dated. The replacement room was orderly. Good location, staff were attentive and polite. As far as a hotel rating goes, it is about a 2-2.5 star facility. The breakfast buffet is planned based on guest nationality, when I tried it, it was mainly an Indian breakfast, but I found items I liked to eat! Lack of an elevator has to be disclosed IMO for safety of the guests and disabled guests. Food choices can be limited based on occupancy, primarily for Lunch and Dinner. There are many eateries in the city of Kandy nearby and they are easy to get to."
