Can any one be so kind to give me information on any low cost Hotels in Kandy, we are not looking for anything too expensive and nothng too cheap, just right,Require the rooms to be clean, have en suite bathroom, not looking for a swimming pool merely for having a good nights sleep as it is only a 2 night stay, can you reccomend any hotels and what may they charge?

Low cost hotels for a 2 night stay

Hi,

Are you hiring a car/van?

You driver should be able to get a double room with half board at Serene Garden Hotel for about LKR 6500/night.

I stayed in I think it was the Devon, it was clean and well priced. I could not face another colonial musty hotel !

We had a couple of nights at Kandy View Hotel on Ampitiya Road. Less than 3000 rupees for an ensuite double room with breakfast. Free internet use if you want it and a small splash pool to cool off in. You are very elavated and the rooftop restaurant affords great views over the tree tops ... nice place to watch the birds and monkeys.

But if you are prepared to sacrifice a bit of comfort in the name of atmosphere, my choice would have to be the Olde Empire Hotel right in the centre of Kandy where we also stayed ... if you can get one of the two en-suite rooms that is. The other rooms are even cheaper .. just 650 rupees but you share a bathroom and it isn%26#39;t very nice! A double ensuite room (without breakfast and bear in mind it is cold water only) costs 1310 rupees. It is fairly basic, but has all you need and has the best position in Kandy without a doubt. Residents can sit on the lovely colonial balcony and soak up the atmosphere of Kandy. You are right next to the Temple of the Tooth and Kandy Lake, and all the shops and restaurants are within a couple of minutes%26#39; walk. This is the place I will be returning to again and again.

Thank you so much for the informative responses, I shall look into the all the mentioned hotels and guest houses.

One more question relating to this topic, Should we book in advance from UK or can we get a a room at a guest house/hotel on our arrival to Kandy for 2 nights? Would this be wise?

Hi Nudz,

End of April no need to make reservations. So don%26#39;t commit yourselves to anything. Go and look and if you don%26#39;t like, go on to the next.

I know a group that made reservations for Kandy View (even in perahera season) that didn%26#39;t like the room (dirty, AC not working, mattress of the beds were seriously sagging), but had a big fuzz getting out of the reservation.
