One Night in Kandy
I only stayed one night at the Grand Kandyan and only wish it could have been longer. From arrival to departure the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. I really enjoyed the buffet evening meal and also breakfast. If you visit Sri Lanka this is the place to stay.

Excellent all round
Very enjoyable stay. All the staff were really helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious with nice views from the balcony over looking the city and hills. Rooftop pool was well maintained and I thought the gym had everything I needed. Breakfast and dinner had a wide choice of foods. I would definitively stay here again.
