Not a problem for us but for information it is quite far out of town up a steep hill (not really walkable).

Very nice hotel with an excellent host and breakfast. Comfortable and fantastic views over Kandy!

Amazing views, huge balcony, comfortable room. Location is at the top of a hill away from the city which provides this incredible view however it will require a TukTuk to access. Owner was great, offered helpful advice about nearby restaurants and train information. Good wifi. Free clean water. Laundry amenities available.

The view from balcony is awesome. Room space is small but quite good and well maintained. Would be nice to have water pressure in bathroom and some additional toiletries. Overall a good option and Recommend.

The property is located in an upscale and quiet neighbourhood and view from the property is amazing. The host is very warm and welcoming, he helped us with local leads for eating out, visiting places, arranging tuk tuk etc. very nice stay, clean and comfortable sheets, definitely recommend staying here to be away from hustle bustle of the city of Kandy.

Our stay at SkyDeck Kandy was excellent. The SkyDeck is a short tuk tuk drive from the centre, which is ideal if you want to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Kandy but still have peace and quiet after a long day exploring. Our room was clean, big and very comfortable. It also offered great views of Kandy from the panoramkc balcony. The owner is kind, attentive, and friendly. He was very helpful throughout our stay and made us delicious breakfasts (probably the best we had in Srilanka!). We would certainly stay at SkyDeck again if we returned to Kandy and would recommend it to anyone who plans to visit the city.

It's a bit of a walk into the centre of town but very doable. Definitely need to catch a tuk tuk back as there is a very steep section when returning.

Wonderful place to stay in a great city. The view from the balcony was marvellous day and night. Breakfast was simple Sri Lankan food but very tasty. Asith was a very helpful host. We really liked Kandy, a very vibrant busy city. We stayed 3 nights and this place is the place to stay to explore the city.

- Location was a little far out of town so we had to take a tuktuk each time, but this was more of a minor inconvenience rather than something we dislike. Do note that the homestay is in a residential area with no shops or eateries around - Water pressure was low and the hot water was not that hot too - The shower area is demarcated by a shallow floor depression but the water and soap suds would still overflow to the rest of the toilet area when we showered, and because of the tiles used, the floor was slippery when wet.

- The city view from the room - Room was of a good size for two of us and the shower was very spacious - Bed and pillows were comfortable - No mosquitoes in the room - We could top up our water from the water dispenser outside - Quiet & peaceful location - The host has a beautiful cat named Shadow

We loved everything. From Kandy center it’s not easy to walk there (too far with a backpack) but there are many tuktuk taxis available so it’s easy to get there.

We had a very comfortable room with a great view because the location is higher up the road, not in the center. The breakfast was very nice. And the bathroom beautiful and clean. Very nice owner. We can definitely recommend it.

Friendly staff with good recommendations of places to eat.

A fridge in the room, there was a communal one downstairs so not too bad.

Excellent views over Kandy from our balcony, Asitha the owner and Indika his brother were exceptional and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend if you want a quiet location with great views and only a short ride into town, or an energetic walk.

Breakfast was not included in the price and this is an extra 2500 rupees pp

The hotel felt like a perfect place to stay in Kandy away fro.m the busyness of the city but still accessible in 15 minutes via a shortcut. Our room was a good size and very clean with amazing views. The breakfast was delicious and our host went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Great place to stay when in Kandy. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. Budget friendly and very clean room.

Shower didn't work at first but this was promptly fixed when we raised it. So whilst not great, the response was great and it didn't become an issue. There are small raised steps between the room and bathroom which are hard to see in the light which meant I stubbed my toe hard, so be careful of this!

Great, spacious room with fab views over Kandy. Lovely large balcony and cool bathroom with views whilst you have a shower. Bed very comfortable. Breakfast very tasty. The host was very courteous and friendly. We also loved meeting his beautiful cat Shadow.

A bit difficult to get to rooms as outside steps are steep - my husband has difficulty walking. However hosts sorted a tuk tuk to solve the problem.

Our hosts were excellent. Family friendly. View over the tree tops was stunning. Sri Lankan breakfast was plentiful. Wildlife at your fingertips.

For those with walking difficulties it was hard to get up to the rooms as rough steps / terrain. However the hosts were very helpful with tuk tuks and transport.

The property was at the top of the trees and perfect to look over the town and surrounding area.

Ideal spot as a base for exploring Kandy and super easy to get a tuk tuk from the station.

Stayed here for 2 days during our tour of Sri Lanka. Fantastic views over Kandy, away from the city. Very friendly hosts, with own taxi service and took us out to Lion’s rock and the cave temples in Dambulla and took us to the train station too. Lovely traditional Sri Lankan breakfast served to fit in with our plans. Thank you for all your help.

The view is just breathtaking. 20min walk down to the town, to get back up better get a tuk tuk, but super quite and nice area!
