    Pros +

    • Nice standard hotel. Nothing fancy, but comfortable, comveniently located, easy place to stay. I'll stay there again
    • Very helpful staff, available on need. We had a large room with a balcony overlooking the mountain.
    • Spacious room, comfortable and clean room/bathroom, great location easy to walk to everything, beautiful view out the bedroom window.

    Cons -

    • No one at the reception when we arrived, had to call and then could check in
    • The WiFi in my room was virtually nonexistent, if your room is close to the lobby it shouldn’t be a problem but I was at the other end of the building.
    • There is very poor water pressure in the shower.

    Friendly staff, I was here during the tropical cyclone. The staff were very helpful.

    10Evangelos S.Posted on: 9-4-2025

    Great hotel. Very central. Right next to the buddha tooth temple. Walking distance to the lake. Their location is the best. Clean rooms and helpful staff. I would recommend this stay.

    9ParittaPosted on: 8-26-2025

    We booked the family room for 2 people, which was very comfortable with large space. The location was good, with a walkable distance to the lake.

    10RoyPosted on: 8-24-2025

    Very friendly staff! We got a free upgrade also. Would recommend this stay in Kandy!

    8TessaPosted on: 8-19-2025

    The property has a great location, the rooms are very spacious and clean and comfortable. The staff are also very friendly and helpful and did their best to accommodate us - for example we arrived very early after a long flight and train journey to Kandy and they did all possible to have our rooms ready as quickly as possible so we could get a bit of sleep!

    There is very poor water pressure in the shower.

    10De l.Posted on: 8-6-2025

    Cleanest place in Sri Lanka. Amazing staff did out laundry. Perfect position in front of budda tooth

    10AsithaPosted on: 6-21-2025

    Nice big room, walking distance to temple of tooth. Nice friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Hope to be there soon again.

    5HaifengPosted on: 4-27-2025

    location of the property was within short walking distance to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. The room was spacious.

    The bed sheets were disgustingly dirty. The room that I stayed faced to the street and was very noisy due to high traffic even at very late night.

    10HasithaPosted on: 4-20-2025

    We had a great stay! The location is excellent—just a short walk to Sri Dalada Maligawa. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped for our group of four, with two double beds and two single beds. The lift was very convenient, especially for the elders in our group. Parking was also impressive—secure, and we could even lock the vehicle remotely from the room. Highly recommend!

    7JenniferPosted on: 4-20-2025

    Location and view over Kandy is good. A few minutes to the temple and 10 mins to town centre. Very spacious rooms. Hot water

    Lack of plants/ deco made it feel sterile and less welcoming than most places we've stayed.

    10LisePosted on: 4-17-2025

    Great family room with 2 bathrooms! Clean hotel, very good location, near lake and Sacred Tooth Temple and not too far from train station. Definitely recommend

    7RosiePosted on: 4-9-2025

    Very close to temple of tooth and lake. Very basic but clean. We had no hot water until we were informed there was a switch to turn the hot water on (might have been nice to have been told that before). But great location and good value for money.

    10VictoriaPosted on: 4-8-2025

    Really nice Hotel with friendly service. Our room was spacious and super clean. The big temple is in walking distance and there are some nice restaurants around. Would stay there again.

    9Ramesh S.Posted on: 4-8-2025

    Very simple, sweet and kind staffs. A very un-bureaucratic type of facility. You feel completely quiet and serene. There is no list of staffs and security running here and their. Very private ambience. A very flexible check-in and check-out. The force of the water in the shower was huge. I have never got this type of abundance of water in any shower anywhere else.

    10KasunPosted on: 4-2-2025

    Breakfast was excellent. Front representing person was excellent service given by him. Location is just near by Dalada Maligawa.

    Staff was about to clean the stuff at 11.00 a.m even though we said we will check out at 12

    9LalithPosted on: 3-25-2025

    Room was spacious and comfortable. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed the Sri Lankan breakfast. Walking distance to the temple.

    Nothing to complaint

    10KathrinPosted on: 3-16-2025

    Our stay at Sarvodaya Samma VaasaResidence was extremely comfortable - the room was roomy, with a balcony and extra roomy. The high ceilings and size of the room gave an overall feeling of spaciousness, and the friendly staff were exceptionally helpful in every way. Staying here allows visitors to learn a little about the Sarvodaya movement which holds such an important place in Sri Lankan history. The location could not have been better, and was a key to a wonderful experience in Kandy. Thank you, to the staff!

    Overall, I think the value added in the Sarvodaya Residence is exceptional - the coffee pot, complimentary water, coffee and tea - good internet etc. I would not compain about anything here.
