Un havre de gentillesse et bienveillance où nous retournerons avec plaisir

Comment ne pas mentionner en premier la gentillesse des hôtes ?! Un vrai délice tout comme les plats et petits déjeuners servis ! Les chambres sont confortables et propres. Le petit plus : les merveilleux soins ayurvédiques proposés !

Very traditional cozy place

Was very traditional so felt very authentic. Good location, walking distance to temple of tooth and the viewpoint

Over night stay

The location is good. Plentiful breakfast at whatever time you required. Lots of hot water.

Looking at the previous reviews there is obviously a problem with the family room we were given, it is almost basement like and suffers from a lot of damp. There was a strong almost overwhelming smell of mold in the room, and unfortunately the bathroom had a serious issue with ants. This doesn’t seem to be the case in the other rooms, so hopefully this room can be sorted out.

Vieze kamers!

Vriendelijk personeel en een goed ontbijt

De kamers waren heel erg smerig. Overal zat schimmel, op het plafond, de muren, kozijnen, zelfs op de klamboe boven het bed. We hadden dit hotel gekozen vanwege de positieve reviews, maar ik verbaas mij dat niemand hier iets over schrijft. We hebben genoeg kamers voor deze prijs gehad die wel schoon waren. Daarnaast was de matras doorgezakt. We hadden een yoga les voor 10 dollar pp geboekt, maar het was zeer basic. De yoga instructrice liet ons een paar rek en strek oefeningen uitvoeren. Absoluut geen 10 dollar waard!

Zentral in Kandy gelegene ruhige Unterkunft mit liebenswerten Gastgebern.

Wir hatten das Kandyan House ausgewählt, weil wir eine Unterkunft gesucht hatten, die zentral in Kandy liegt, aber nicht durch den Straßenverkehr gestört wird. Diese Voraussetzungen erfüllte die Unterkunft. Es ist absolut ruhig und die Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Kandy Lake oder Tooth-Tempel sind fußläufig erreichbar. Wir wurden von der Gastfamilie herzlich in Empfang genommen und wir durften ein großzügiges Zimmer beziehen, das traditionell eingerichtet und sehr sauber war. Das Bad war ebenfalls groß und es fehlte uns an nichts. Alle waren sehr bemüht, uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Das Frühstück wurden von der Gastgeberin persönlich zubereitet und war sehr lecker und reichhaltig. Es blieben keine Wünsche offen. Die Hilfsbereitschaft und Freundlichkeit der Gastgeber kann nicht oft genug erwähnt werden. Leider sind wir schon nach 3 Tagen weitergereist. Aber für uns steht jetzt schon fest, dass wir wiederkommen werden. Von uns gibt es eine 100%-Empfehlung.

Es gibt aus unserer Sicht nichts zu kritisieren.

Une propriétaire aux petits soins dans un lieu charmant!

Un accueil merveilleux avec une propriétaire adorable parlant très bien français. Les petits déjeuners sont copieux, variés et faits avec des produits frais. Les dîners sri lankais sont délicieux et pas trop épicés. Tout est fait pour que l'on sente bien, comme à la maison. Prendre ses repas et petits déjeuners sur la terrasse du yoga café est appréciable. Un grand merci!

Accueil et bienveillance au rendez-vous !

L’accueil formidable, la propriétaire aux petits soins pour nous qui étions malades, et le petit déjeuner extra. Jolie maison typique au calme, un peu à l’écart de la ville.

La chambre un peu petite et la salle de bain vétuste, mais pleinement en adéquation avec le prix payé.

Beautiful house overlooking Kandy

There was a lot of character with old wooden doors and original features and it had a welcoming feeling and friendly owners and staff. The walk from there along the lake was the best part of visiting Kandy. The yoga cafe had an interesting range of herbal teas and I had a wonderful banana lassi. I would certainly go back…it’s perfect!

Excellent séjour d’une nuit à kandayan house

La propriétaire de la guest house est très attentive aux attentes des clients. Nous avons pu réaliser le Check in beaucoup plus tôt que prévu et avons profité d’un très bon petit déjeuner. La maison a gardé le cadre typique de la vie au Sri Lanka.

Les coussins décoratif sur le lit sentent l’humidité malgré qu’ils soient propres.

Einwandfrei

Das Zimmer ist sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet, die Besitzerin ist sehr freundlich und bereitet auf Wunsch Abendessen und Frühstück. Warmes Wasser und Wlan funktionierten einwandfrei. Das Hostel ist sehr ruhig und trotzdem nicht weit vom Zemtrum entfernt. Ich habe mich sehr wohl und sicher gefühlt und würde jederzeit wieder kommen.

Tolles Ambiente, sympathischer Chef, gute Gespräche.

Wunderschöne Einrichtung, tolles Personal, gutes Frühstück. Optimale Lage, gute Angebote (Café, Yoga, Massage). Moskitonetze und angenehmer Geruch.

Ein paar Ameisen im Bad, aber halb so wild. Habe schlimmeres erlebt in anderen Hotels.

Super

Hôtel un peu en hauteur, à l’écart du boucan de Kandy. Hôtes très sympathiques. Petit déjeuner copieux très bon. Chambre un peu vétuste mais lit très agréable, clim silencieuse, eau chaude avec bonne pression, j’y ai très bien dormi !

Propreté de la salle de bain aurait pu être un peu mieux.

Fantastic stay at a wonderful place!

The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. It’s as if you enter a museum! A unique homestay, very clean, with a mosquito-net and all you need, with very friendly and helpful owners, and so close to the lake! I definitely recommend it!

The only thing, if I need to mention anything, was that the bed was a bit hard. I slept well, though, so it was not a real issue.

Good stay for a couple nights

Stayed for 2 nights. Staff was super friendly, provided a lovely welcome tea upon arrival and the free breakfast was nice and fulfilling. It’s an older style home with a few rooms, which brings a certain rustic charm. Staff live in some of the rooms so there’s always company if you’re solo. AC worked well and there’s a really yummy tea shop next door. Comfortable stay overall!

While old style homes bring charm, they can be a little dark. Adding a lamp to the room would be nice :)

Highly recommended :)

Kandyan House is a magical place with interesting interior. The family is just the best. There are such welcoming people and always willing to help. It is worth booking even just to meet them :) I loved that the place is on the other side of the like, so it's not that busy as the centre of Kandy.

Had such a great time here! Kush gave me a warm welcome and was always ready to help. The rooms are nice, clean and have everything you need. It’s right next to the lake, I could get about on foot which was a big bonus. Extremely lovely family and the breakfast was also so good.

Delightful stop over!

Got to start with the hostess Tuss, ( hope I spelt that right ) what lovely lady nothing was to much trouble, I'm a veggie I don't like sugar or anything sweet. Without me saying anything she adjuster my breakfast to make it compatible to my taste! The accommodation was quirky ( in a good way ) 4 poster bed with mosquito net, air con Ceiling fan walking shower room. Elevated position giving views Kandy lake & surrounding area!

Srilanka is experiencing economical difficulties. Do experience occasional power cuts. However no more then 30mins! There is a delightful walk down to the town proper. Railway station, bus station. However the walk is easy well paved at the side of Kandy lake. Which as Well stocked with fish turtles, huge Monitor lizards. If your lucky on a cool morning may find one basking in the sunshine!

Felt like staying with friends

Kush and her husband were very welcoming. Their guest house is beautiful and full of lovely old family furniture. Kush was very kind and helpful always asking if i would like coffee or needed anything. Breakfast was big and super delicious. They have two dogs and a cat who are super cute. The guesthouse is at the quiet end of the lake and a very easy walk into town along the lakeside off approx 15 mins. Kush had lots of helpful information on both local and further afield sites. Their tuktuk driver Amara is also lovely and can arrange both local and long distance trips. A lovely place to stay! 🙂🐾

Perfect stay and wonderful hospitality

The house, the room and the hospitality were outstanding. The location is perfect to visit Kandy and the surrounding areas. The wifi was very fast and I could work on my laptop. I had the best breakfast in a month spent in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended to anyone staying in Kandy for one or more months, even for a long stay.
