I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The views from my room were breathtaking, offering an amazing view of the mountains. The room was large and comfortable with a modern interior design which added a touch of luxury to my experience. The hotel’s convenient location to the city made exploring landmarks and attractions a breeze. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. They made me a delicious breakfast based on my preferences. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Kandy.

Very friendly & helpful hosts. This place is very calm & quiet. Room was spacious & clean. They welcomed us with nice cake and tea. True Sri Lankan hospitality <3. This place is managed by siblings: brother & sister along with their parents. Really helpful people. We had breakfast and it was fabulous. Very big breakfast with lots of fruits. This was the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka. Value for money is over the moon. They helped us to get train tickets to Ella. Backyard garden is beautiful which opens up to a greenery view. Highly recommend this place.

I felt comfortable and at ease. I slept well and was able to rest and relax. Huge room, clean and tidy, all the facilities I needed and more. Located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, and is close to many points of interest and multiple transport links. A meal that I ate here is the best I've enjoyed in a very long time! Most important for me is the people whom I encountered at Peradeniya Inn. I experienced the owners as friendly, kind, sincere, helpful, and generous. I wholeheartedly recommend Peradeniya Inn and fully intend to return in the future.
