The hotel exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and the bathrooms were also well maintained. Overall, it was a very comfortable and pleasant stay.
The staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Imantha at the reception was particularly friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome.
I would definitely stay here again and would happily recommend this hotel to others.
Helpful staff, good location and a short walk to the lake.
The room was a good size and the bed was huge and comfortable.
Plus the shower has the hottest water in Sri Lanka!
The internet signal can be a little inconsistent ok if your rooms are near reception but signal quality drops if your at the end of the hotel?
This was amongst the best places I had booked for myself and my mother on our month long trip in Sri Lanka! Mostly because of how attentive the staff was! Especially Tsurn,
Imandha and Pahurm. I may have their spelling wrong, but these 3 gentlemen were a big reason why my stay here was amazing! Thank you so much!
This hotel is very clean, comfortable, quiet, relaxing with good views! That staff are very attentive especially Imandha, Kasun and Padham. The breakfast buffet is just the right amount and great tasting. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer!
We had a great stay at Hotel Cassendra. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. A special thank you to Imantha for going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious, with a great variety and freshly prepared each morning. Highly recommend!
I absolutely enjoyed my stay here. Clean, comfortable room with great water pressure. Probably the best shower I've had in all of Sri Lanka
The location is great. Close enough to walk to the city centre but still far enough away from the city noise
Best part about this hotel though is the receptionist Dilrukshi. Very friendly, personable and genuine. Always greets you with a smile and asks about how you're doing in a non forced way, you can tell she actually cares about her guests.
Thank you Dilrukshi and the rest of the staff. I look forward to coming back
Centrally Located and convenient hotel. Very nice breakfast. Management and staff finest hospitality we experience in Sri Lanka. We stayed in 7 hotels during our trip to Sri Lanka this Hotel and management does an excellent job.
Clean, tidy and spacious room. Staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was really nice

I initially had some issues with this facility, with the room and bathroom cleanliness. However, management rectified it and the remainder of my stay went smoothly. Property is somewhat dated. The replacement room was orderly. Good location, staff were attentive and polite. As far as a hotel rating goes, it is about a 2-2.5 star facility. The breakfast buffet is planned based on guest nationality, when I tried it, it was mainly an Indian breakfast, but I found items I liked to eat! Lack of an elevator has to be disclosed IMO for safety of the guests and disabled guests. Food choices can be limited based on occupancy, primarily for Lunch and Dinner. There are many eateries in the city of Kandy nearby and they are easy to get to.

Clean, quiet, spacious room and beds. Friendly and helpful staff.
We had such a wonderful stay at Cassendra Kandy. From checking in to a spotless and very well set out room, amazing breakfast to exceptional staff. There is not one thing we could complain about.
We would not hesitate to stay here again if we returned to Kandy.
To the Manager Madusanka and all your staff Dilrukshi, Imandha, Padhum, Isuru, you all went above and beyond. Your attention to detail was 5 stars.
Thanks again
Very classy, well furnished, clean hotel with superlative views.
Breakfast was excellent and the staff were extremelly attentive, friendly and accomodating. This was easily the best hotel i stayed in within the cultural center of SL.
If i returned to Kandy i would stay here again, hands down?
