Top Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage Hotel Reviews

Grand Serendib Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay at the grand serendib. I booked this hotel after reading some reviews and liking the pictures and it did not disappoint. In a great location just up the hill from KANDY centre away from the hustle and bustle. Amazing views from the huge room and balcony, the restaurant for breakfast and pool area then on the floor above a gorgeous rooftop bar and restaurant which we ate in a few nights with lovely entertainment Another night we got room service and ate on our balcony as we were so tired from our day trip and thw food standard and service was just as good. The pool was slightly smaller than I thought but we managed to get beds and was lovely and chilled. We also had a massage on our first day at the spa which was fabulous and very reasonably priced. All the staff couldnt do enough to make your stay memorable and the welcome drink and wet towel on arrival was a nice touch. Also recommend a car service for us to get from the airport."

Cassendra Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic day at Hotel Cassandra. The staff was exceptionally friendly, professional, and accommodating, with Darshana and Iwantha particularly distinguishing themselves. The rooms were maintained beautifully, stylish, and stunning. The food was delicious and served quickly. We look forward to visiting Hotel Cassandra again on our next holiday."

"The elephants were great but we were not told about check in being after 3.00pm and early arrival would have to pay an entrance fee! To add to the confusion the hotel emailed me cancelling my 4 rooms at 2.00pm. When I contacted them, no apology just that it was a mistake!"
