4.0 / 10.0
Good hotel overlooking the lake. The staff were great & really looked after us. We ate in the restaurant at night & the food & wine were excellent. Good breakfast, the only downside was the coffee which wasn't good. Overall we would stay here again.
4.0 / 10.0
This hotel is well located for Kandy, in front of nice lake and short walk to Temple of the Tooth and town centre. We were greeted with a free lunch on arrival since they were promoting the place and we ate very well; we had a second lunch there and that was very good too. Place was overall comfy but rooms seem to have thin walls since it felt quite noisy. But all good overall.

Very comfortable bed in a room with stunning views over the lake in Kandy. Only downside was no lift, but staff were very helpful getting the bags up to the room. Will stay there again if I’m back in Kandy.

Very close to Lake and temple but nothing else within walking distance can only eat at hotel for dinner

Being away from busy dawntown is a good option for a stay

Right across from Lake Kandy. Traffic is heavy outside at times. You can walk to the temple, and most any place in town. Staff is very helpful & anxious to serve

The staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Ryan on the front desk. The room we had was simple and clean, aircon worked great. The viewing area on the 4th floor is really nice.
5.0 / 10.0
This hotel was really comfortable. The beds and pillows are amazing. We had a side view of the lake but our friends had a big balcony and panoramic view of the lake. Service was really friendly and the location is so convenient- one of the best in town. Highly recommend and would go back

Fantastic, friendly staff giving 1st class service. Excellent food. My only slight criticism is the air conditioning in the room was a bit noisy but overall a most enjoyable stay and I would definitely be very happy to stay again.

No real problems, except low water pressure, I guess. We got in late and left in the morning, so it was just a nice bed to sleep in for us.
2.0 / 10.0
Not a good experience. In my opinion you can’t believe the other reviewers. They appear to be false. I don’t recommend this place.
Here are the issues we had after one night stay. It should be noted we switched hotels after one night… we were booked for 2..
No hot water
AC very noisy. Couldnt be adjusted. On or off were the only choices
Safe issue. Took them 20 mins and couldn’t be sorted out. A Portable one arrived with keys. Code only worked once. But main concern was portability of the actual safe. Not secure at all.
TV batteries..dead. Had to call to get new ones and then lack of channels
Street noise. Didn’t stop throughout the night. Difficult to sleep.
Hall light comes through transom no curtain.. room was too bright all night.
Location not great. Nothing else nearby. No shops for water etc
Limited towels.. 2 total.
Uncomfortable and lumpy bed. Terrible for sleeping.
While the staff was friendly it didn’t make up for other issues.
Don’t believe the other reviews. I wish I hadn’t.. find somewhere else to stay.
6.0 / 10.0
The staff are very eager to help. They were excellent. However, the property is near a school and the students practiced their marching band rehearsal at 6am. Otherwise, it's a decent place to stay for a night. Be mindful that it's only stairs -- no elevators.

Small hotel, right in front of the lake. Very nice hotel and staff

6.0 / 10.0
Perfect location for a stay next to the tooth temple. Very safe promenade, 10 min walk maximum to the tooth temple and around 15 min to kandy citycenter.
The staff is super helpfull they offered us a fresh waterlemon juice during our check in.
The wifi is slow and bad but thats fine if ur visiting srilanka to disconnect. The hotel is averga regarding the cleaning part. Finally super convenient for one night, kandy lake is in front of it wonderful spot. We went for dinner at a rooftop nearby and didnt have breakfast so we didnt try the food of the hotel

4.0 / 10.0
Good location on the far edge of Kandy Lake. 10 min walk from the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. 15-20 min walk from town.
The room has everything you need and the beds were exceptionally soft - didn’t want to get up in the morning!
We were able to check in early when we arrived, which we really appreciated. We were able to have a hot shower after our bus ride from Sigiriya.
Considering the good price, this was a comfortable stay for a walkable visit to Kandy.
5.0 / 10.0
This hotel was amazing! Service and accommodations felt 5-star, and the price was the best part. The suite I stayed in had more space than my apartment with a jacuzzi overlooking the lake with an all glass view. I will definitely stay here when I return to Sri Lanka in October!
5.0 / 10.0
We stayed for 3 nights at Viyana and we thought the location was perfect - right on the lake and around a 15 minute walk to the Sacred Tooth Temple.
The staff were absolutely brilliant - always smiling and chatting to us and catered to every need.
We had a leak in our bathroom from a heavy rainstorm which we informed reception about and someone came immediately. They offered to change our room but we politely declined (too much effort to pack!!) so instead they offered us a free breakfast which was such a kind gesture!
Would highly recommend Viyana for people visiting Kandy!

We can highly recommend viyana boutique hotel. From the moment we arrived, our every wish was taken care of and everyone took excellent care of us. The room is a dream. The view over the lake and the city captivated us directly and the cleanliness of the room was also top. All the staff were very friendly. We got fresh water every day and the breakfast was also very tasty. The tuk tuk driver right in front of the hotel showed us the most beautiful corners of the city. All in all a great hotel with unique staff and a great atmosphere.

Wow, such a bargain for the location and excellent service! Our room was huge and had a lounge area with a view of Kandy Lake. The staff are very welcoming (they even bring you a welcome juice). Breakfast was good too. They have a restaurant with limited options for convenience. The location is amazing; right in front of the lake and within walking distance to the Temple of the Tooth Relic (we were driven there, but it looked like a 15-20 minute walk). Highly recommend!

Very new hotel, a bit hard to find for our driver. All the facilities were very new and there was a short walk to nearby sights.The only complaint we have is the noise from the traffic which starts very early in the morning. The staff is very professional and kind.

8.0 / 10.0
This property is absolutely gorgeous. It’s well maintained and clean. We were upgraded to the very top floor, which was quite an experience. Two minor downsides: the entire place shook when a big truck came around the corner but there weren’t many through the night so not a big problem and the plug for the hot tub didn’t seal properly so it leaked water when it was filling.

We only stayed one night, but it was amazing. The location is very good, walking distance to the city centre and temple. Super comfy beds too! The service was amazing - all the staff was very friendly and service-minded. I can reccomend this place!

We stayed at Viyana twice - once before, and again after a trek in Knuckles. The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to take care of us. They even let us store our extra bags while we were on the trek. The room was spacious, modern and comfortable. There was extra seating along the windows overlooking the lake. The shower was the best we had in Sri Lanka. We ordered room service, as we were quite tired, and the food was fresh, hot and tasty. Great view of the lake, friendly service, gorgeous room . . . a great place to stay. Thanks, Viyana!

Lovely hotel - our room was spacious with a double bed, separate seating area overlooking the lake, a fully stocked bathroom with massive powerful shower, a safe, A/C and a fan, as well as a mini-fridge. Free water bottles were provided in the room. The hotel itself is located throughout a restaurant area, with the reception being on the first floor – this wasn’t very clear so at first we pulled up outside and had no idea if we were at the right place! But once we knew, it was fine – quick check-in, lovely welcome drink and very modern and clean inside. We ate at the hotel one night in the downstairs restaurant – huge menu of Sri Lankan food to pick from, all very reasonably priced. The hotel is about a 10 min walk from the Temple of the Tooth, and about 17 mins from the centre of Kandy. The walk is along the path skirting around the edge of the lake, so is a pleasant walk (lots of monkeys and birds to spot). The only major downside to the hotel is the location; yes it’s super convenient for town and even though it’s on the main road, it was largely quiet… EXCEPT for all the beeping! The hotel is actually on a sharp corner so a lot of vehicles were beeping their horns when rounding the corner to let others know they were; great for safe roads, not so great for when you’re fast asleep in the very comfy bed in the beautiful hotel! Even with earplugs I could still hear them, so if you’re a light/ troublesome sleeper, this hotel might not be the best place for you.

The room was tremendously huge and the staff was very warm and friendly and accommodating to the guests. It's located right on the lake front so you can easily walk into town and view the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.

Staff were really friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the breakfasts. However the traffic noise throughout the night from a very busy road kept me awake I feel this is a serious issue.
