Kandy Rivers Edge Nature Resort

I had a truly wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and friendly. Mr. Jerome, Mr Raja, and Mr Sumudu were truly amazing. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay.

We had stayed at this place back in 2019 and came back in 2025. This hotel located not far from Kandy city center but very close to nature on the river shore. We love the location as you can easily go to Kandy whenever you want but you can enjoy the river view, watch birds and animals from your room or from the restaurant. We also enjoyed our breakfasts there. Wery well prepared omelets, fruit, juice, toasts with butter and jam, pancakes. Once had dinner there. Devilled prawns were really good. The owners were very nice and welcoming. I must mention the lady owner’s driving skills which are exceptional as we were delivered at the train station very fast and right on time. She saved our trip to Colombo, and we are so very much grateful to her.

Much bird life at the back of hotel Breakfast was very good. Manager was helpful.

No cupboards or wardrobe to hang clothes. No kettle for making tea/coffee in room.

The accommodation was beautiful, our room and bathroom were of a good size and we had a wonderful outlook from our room onto the river. The couple that ran the property seemed very pleasant.

The accommodation was lacking in refreshments and on our arrival they had to go out to the local stores to pick up wine/beer. They then charged us extra for their time and travel to the store.

Pleasant reception, very sympathetic and helpful management; exceptionally good and professional kitchen; quiet and comfortable hotel located just outside, but conveniently close to, the Kandy city centre.

Secluded quiet and relaxing place Overlooking the river, just a few minutes from the city but a world away.

The location is excellent. The balcony overlooks the river and the view is unimpeded. The greenery is lush and the area full of birds. The staff member Mr Janak was kind and looked after my husband and I who fell ill with a virus. He cooked us nutritious soup and whatever we asked for.

The bathroom fittings could be improved and provision of a cupboard in the room to hang clothes. Considering the advantage of location, the owners could upgrade the rooms and the bathroom.

The location and view from the room balcony was amazing. The staff could not have been more helpful and obliging. The breakfasts and Sri Lankan dinners (cooked to order) were absolutely first class, served and prepared by Janaka (manager) , who was always smiling and accommodating, in spite of him serving our dinner at 8.00pm and then breakfast at 8.00am! He was ably assisted by Gihaan and Sumudu. Altogether a great experience.

Noise from neighbouring rooms travels easily, although we were unlucky as a couple arrived late one night next door.
