    • Very friendly and helpful staff.Great location, a short walk from the hotel to get around the lake to the Temple of Tooth and the local market.Extensive breakfast, well-boiled and fried eggs!Nice, spacious rooms, comfortable bed, good shower, clean, and well-maintained. Ask for a room on the city side for a beautiful view.The pool is small but nice. Refreshing after a day of sweating in the busy city.
    • Very friendly staff, good breakfast, nice location (walking distance near the lake to go to the center).
    • Great location and nice property. People very friendly. Overall very pleasant stay.

    Cons -

    • The sunbeds are a bit of a shame- very hard ;)
    • -
    • Window didn't shut properly which meant there was more noise from wildlife and traffic below than usual.

    Everything the location the service the staff. The Manager Mr. Prassana Perera was very helpful he also offered us an upgraded room as we were travelling with our 5 years old. The guy at the reception (forgot his name) helped us in booking all the tours at our reasonable price. Great value for the price we paid.

    Nothing in particular.

    Good breakfast. Comfy beds. Spacious bathroom. The staff is friendly, but there is a need for further explanations of queries.

    Without a car, carrying the luggage up the hill would be quite challenging.

    Location good and staff good

    The blinds did not block the sun entirely that caused me trouble sleeping

    The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect — close to everything and yet peaceful enough to truly relax. It made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable. On top of that, the breakfast was simply amazing: fresh, delicious, and with so many choices that every morning felt special.A wonderful stay all around — highly recommended!

    Everything was perfect

    10JamesPosted on: 9-24-2025

    Comfortable and close to central Kandy but far enough away to be in a serene, leafy setting. A/C worked well, cable TV had several English channels and breakfast was tasty and plentiful. Pool was inviting but we never swam in it. View was great-we stayed in the chalet. Personnel seemed very eager to ensure that guests enjoy their stay.

    Although breakfast was quite good, the food on offer in the restaurant seemed quite limited, so we never ate there.

    8Mithilesh D.Posted on: 7-16-2025

    Hotel location is very close to Kandy lake and Kandy main city area, everything within 4-5KMs.as we booked this off-season there were hardly 2-3 bookings in this hotel so the breakfast was a set menu instead of buffet spread, but they have limited menu only. whatever they served was freshly made, good quality with taste only fresh juices were not available.For driver we got room for free to stay including parking.the stay is friendly and supportive.for our 1.5yr toddler they had a wooden baby chair which was unexpected.

    the road is quiet tricky and narrow to travel upto the hotel as it is located at the top of the hill.

    The stuff is amazing and the hotel is calm and safe comfy bed

    10GemmaPosted on: 5-1-2025

    A fantastic property. It was away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy up a hill overlooking the lake. Wonderful spot. The rooms were comfortable with all the amenities you’d want. Great shower and A/C. Delicious breakfast and very friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend staying here. It is exceptional value for money.

    9PerryPosted on: 4-21-2025

    The hotel was in a great location and was clean with comfy beds. The swimming pool was small but really refreshing and the pool towels were new and fluffy. The breakfast was good and had a large variety of dishes- the fresh omelet and dahl were particularly good. The evening meal was good value. The staff were all very helpful.

    We went to breakfast late and the coffee was cold but there was instant instead.

    10FionaPosted on: 4-17-2025

    Hotel Yo is definitely a lovely property but it is the attention and hospitality of the staff that elevate it to make a stay in Kandy a truly memorable experience. We arrived when many restaurants were closed due to new year - so the manager made sure he organised delicious curries and coconut sambal each morning. We wanted to play cards as a group - He cleared a space on the top floor for us.The pool is lovely and the location about a 10 minute walk from the lake. Ask for a front room - stunning views.

    10AyalaPosted on: 4-15-2025

    Everything! We're a family of 4, booked 2 rooms and we were on 3rd floor, just us, which was great. The rooms were clean, bathrooms were good, shower was lovely, bed was super comfy, there was a fridge, AC, a fan, balcony overlooked the lake and you could see tooth temple and buddah on the left. The breakfast was the best we've had, so much variety! Omelette cooked fresh, scrambled eggs, chicken sausages, selection of fruits, cakes, rice, daal, curd, breads.. tea, coffee and juices. We ate like kings and it lasted us until dinner! Everyone is super lovely too, in reception, the housekeepers, the pool boy, waiters.. everyone! I'd highly recommend. Thanks you for 3 great night's stay

    Lovely views from the hotel, the pool was nice and peaceful, very friendly staff.

    Amazing breakfast and friendly staff, great spot close to the lake and city center.Pool was a great addition to wind down at the end of a hot day.

    10ClaudiaPosted on: 4-11-2025

    From the moment we arrived the hotel staff went above and beyond for us - from helping us with our bags to packing us a little breakfast for our train journey to Ella as well as providing us plates / knives / forks for when we got back late and ordered dinner in. The rooms were very clean and spacious and although we didn’t use the pool it looked lovely. The location is also extremely good to get to Temple of the Tooth / Kandy View Point and Kandy Lake. Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone travelling to Kandy
