    Breakfast is basically in the entrance hall, our room (603) was big, but one could hear everything from the lobby and they started at 4am to do some work. Cleanliness in generally ok, but some spots really would need more attenttion.

    During our trip in kandy we had an excellent stay at the Cassandra Hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the view is amazing as you stay up the hill. But the outstanding service from the hotel manager Nuwan made our stay even better. His hospitality is on a high level as he provided us with many recommendations, even in other places. When we left for the train to Nuwara Eliya hè even kept in touch if we had any questions. On our way back to Kandy we couldn’t wait to stay another night at Cassandra hotel as we really felt like home.

    Very nice hotel on the hill in Kandy with amazing view from balcony. Nuwan, our host, was super nice and extremely helpful, both with our stay in Kandy as well as the rest if our travels in Sri Lanka (organized tuktuk tour, train, etc.). Also arranged for us to have breakfast and dinner on balcony which was great! Highly recommend!

    Sheets had dirty marks. While they advertise a restaurant, it certainly was not up to standard. We asked about dinner at 7pm to be given just one meal option of roast (fried) chicken; this also took an hr to get. Mind you there was no one else there! The staff had poor English and you had to describe in multiple different ways what you wanted. Tried to double charge me for dinner by taking cash when they had charged my credit card. Overall not a pleasant stay and would not recommend

    Only good thing was the size of the bed.

    It was very disappointing and unexpected situation when I tried to pay the bill, they cheated on me with the price , booking.com showed me 41.60 + 4 (taxes and charges ) = 45.60 usd but they gave me 41.60+ 4.16 ( taxes and charges)= 45.76 usd Worse thing was that they cheated me when they converted the usd in to Lkr, to day it supposed to be 322.66 Even if I take there price ( 45.76 x 322.66 = 14765 Lkr , Today ( 29- 03-2023) SL central bank rate for usd was Middle - 322.666 Buying - 317.707 Selling- 333.492 So they have converted my price with strange rate 45.72 x 335.29 = 15329 Lkr It is beyond even the selling rate of the usd by the central bank of Sri Lanka , When I questioned the receptionist his answer was unbelievable, he said , they have different usd rates for different people , like if I was a agent ? They would have exchanged it with the usual rate which supposed to be 322.66 ( 29-03-2023) But i get the other rate which was 335.29 Lkr per usd, reason was I booked through the booking.com and I did not book as a agent, So it was unacceptable and very inconvenient for me, I felt very bad and I was a victim of a cheating , please be aware of this hotel and we very very careful when you are paying , they are cheating, Never ever book this hotel ,

    The service was poor. It says 24/7 room service, but the reception wasn't staffed until after 10 am. There was no hot water in the morning, and we were stuck there, couldn't shower couldn't leave the hotel early as planned. Eventually the call got diverted to the manager's phone, who apologised and explained that they are under staffed, that government hasn't supplied water or something, so can only have hot water later in the day! Nice restaurant there, but again no staff, or meals served. You must order the night before to get breakfast. Lovely, well kept hotel but due to these inconveniences and poor service, I felt it wasn't worth the money paid.

    The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Had some nice views of Kandy, very peaceful and relaxing.
