We recently stayed at the Kandy Citadel Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and offered a pleasant stay. I want to give a special mention to Sadun Fernando, one of the servers, who provided exceptional service. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor made our breakfast experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Kandy Citadel Hotel for its excellent hospitality and beautiful setting.

I would have liked to see more vegetarian/vegan options on the dinner buffets. Location is about 15min from Kandy downtown -- depending on traffic this could be even longer. However, if you are looking for quite location this is perfect.

I was annoyed with my registration status. I opted my reservation with breakfast included, but, hotels.Com made mistake with my reservation and this hotel denied to include complementary breakfast. I was told to pay extra for breakfast, this caused alternative arrangements on myself. My room was next to evening entertainment, music, and till midnight it was very disturbing. Payment expected only in US$, causing extra charges. Hotel location is good, but Hotels.Com mistake with reservation caused disturbance.

Nice hotel with bar facing the pool. Very large room at the far end of the hotel with River view. Bar service was slow and had to go to bar to order drink. Bar was understaffed. Restaurant was badly laid out. Beef on buffet was tough. Large queues at entrance to buffet area. Squashed bug on top of toilet cistern. Overall hotel does not compare favourably with Habanara Cinnamon Lodge and Yala Cinnamon Wild. Staff were polite and friendly

The location is great, tranquil beside the river, and close to Kandy. The design is superb with the open air encouraging the breeze. But it is the staff who really make it excellent. It is the second time we have stsyed at the Citadel, and we cannot fault it. If you are visiting Kandy, this is the place to stay.

The hotel itself is a perfect getaway from the hustle of Kandy! It’s location is a little out of the city, but the trade off is complete tranquility! The staff are so kind and helpful, we really enjoyed our stay!
