You must stay here during your time in Kandy! The location is great, the rooms are super clean & comfortable, the manager goes above & beyond to make your time in Sri Lanka as smooth as possible. There is a really nice garden that catches good sunlight - despite being in a main city, this hostel makes you feel like your in nature.

Hemaka and the team at Liselma Residence could not have been more hospitable and helpful. This is truly was one of the most memorable and relaxing places I've ever stayed in. Perched on a hillside with commanding views across Kandy. Floor to ceiling windows filled our enormous room with natural light. Perhaps the largest and most comfortable bed I've slept in. The white walls, wooden floors and spaciousness all contribute to an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility. We felt special here. Thank you so much to Hemaka , Opisala and team. I could not recommend Liselma residence highly enough.

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon is an absolute gem in the heart of Kandy! The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming — going above and beyond to make the stay comfortable. The rooms were cozy, modern, and spotless, with extremely comfortable beds that made for a perfect night’s sleep. The hotel’s location couldn’t be better — just a short walk from the Temple of the Tooth and Kandy town. The breakfast buffet was scrumptious, offering a wonderful mix of authentic Sri Lankan dishes and international options, beautifully presented and full of flavor. The parking area was another highlight — spacious and directly connected to the lift and rooms, which made it super convenient.

Fantastic place to stay in Kandy - the view on the city was amazing and the city center, as well as the Tooth Temple, was quite close to the structure. The room was spacious, beds were comfortable and there was also a fan to cool down the room's temperature. Breakfast was great! Hosts were very friendly and helpful, they also managed to help us changing the check-in / check-out times.

Great breakfast, fabulous and very spacious room. Very clean and nice bathroom. Very comfortable beds. The location of the hotel is conveniently located close to the city centre as well as train station. It's close to the main road but not directly next to it which makes it quiet place to rest aftr whole day of sightseeing. The owner was kind to explain everything and provide a brief tour about what to see and do in Kandy. This is a professional hotel unit but a family business as well and they do care to make you comfortable.

Best location i have stayed yet in Sri Lanka. This pearl has everything you need. The bed is great, the shower is gorgeous and the personel is the best i’ve seen yet. They will help you with literally anything you need and wil accomodate it for you. If something on the menu is not like your taste, they can change it to your own liking. They have a beautiful big tent on the outside of the hotel, which has a bathtub, AC and literally everything you need. There are no downsides i could mention. Like i have said…. The best location in Kandy

The hotel management provides excellent service, attending to every need with professionalism and warmth.Given its prime location and top-notch amenities, it's undoubtedly the best value for money. If you're looking for a place to stay, this hotel should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

Great location in peaceful surroundings. Located in the mountains, it’s far enough away from the city centre but close enough to walk to. 10 min walk to Kandy lake and 20-30 min walk into town. The occasional elephant can be seen walking past the hotel which was a highlight for me. Under new management, the owner and his team went out of their way to accommodate every request and made my stay feel like my home away from home.
