We recently stayed at the Kandy Citadel Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and offered a pleasant stay. I want to give a special mention to Sadun Fernando, one of the servers, who provided exceptional service. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor made our breakfast experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Kandy Citadel Hotel for its excellent hospitality and beautiful setting.

Great hotel in scenic location but a bit out of centre. The staff were outstanding and the service faultless.

I would have liked to see more vegetarian/vegan options on the dinner buffets. Location is about 15min from Kandy downtown -- depending on traffic this could be even longer. However, if you are looking for quite location this is perfect.

I was annoyed with my registration status. I opted my reservation with breakfast included, but, hotels.Com made mistake with my reservation and this hotel denied to include complementary breakfast. I was told to pay extra for breakfast, this caused alternative arrangements on myself. My room was next to evening entertainment, music, and till midnight it was very disturbing. Payment expected only in US$, causing extra charges. Hotel location is good, but Hotels.Com mistake with reservation caused disturbance.

Nice hotel with bar facing the pool. Very large room at the far end of the hotel with River view. Bar service was slow and had to go to bar to order drink. Bar was understaffed. Restaurant was badly laid out. Beef on buffet was tough. Large queues at entrance to buffet area. Squashed bug on top of toilet cistern. Overall hotel does not compare favourably with Habanara Cinnamon Lodge and Yala Cinnamon Wild. Staff were polite and friendly
