Guest Reviews
- YASUMITSU (10/5): -
- Devananthan (9/5): Very good place to stay - Friendly staff and Nice breakfast Good location in city centre
- florencia (8/5): - Location Noisy
- F.M.Junaideen (10/5): Kandy City Centre Cafe Aroma Inn - Cafe Aroma Inn Hotel and Restaurant in the Heart of Kandy City. Very Clean and the Reception and total Staff are very friendly and helpful. Non
- Vatha (7/5): Clean rooms and great showers, but beware of hidden breakfast charges! - I recently stayed at Cafe Aroma Inn and booked a twin-bed room. Overall, the room was very clean and well-maintained. The bathroom was a major plus—it had excellent water pressure for a very comfortable shower, and I really appreciated the separated wet and dry zones. The air conditioning wasn't cold when we first turned it on. We just decided to wait it out and went to sleep, and it did eventually get cooler late at night.
I want to give a strong warning about the breakfast. Even if your room rate already "includes breakfast," be very careful not to choose the American Breakfast. We ordered it and were hit with an extra charge. The text mentioning the surcharge is in very small print on the menu, and unfortunately, the staff did not communicate this clearly to us before we placed our order.
- isami (9/5): ホスピタリティ - 家庭の事情で直前にいけなくなってしまったのですが、お心遣いのこもったメッセージを頂き、感謝しています。
次回は必ず利用させて頂きたいと思っています。
- Yuji (7/5): - アクセスが良い ガラスにカーテンが気になった。部屋の通気性(窓がない)
- NOBUMASA (9/5): コスパ抜群 - キャンディの中心部のため非常にロケーションが良く、スタッフの対応も非常によかった。
- KINGKARN (10/5): Breakfast is superb. - Room is clean and big size. Good location, staffs are nice, breakfast us really good. Nothing.
- Olivier (9/5): Superbe pour visiter Kandy ! - L'emplacement idéal pour visiter la ville de Candy le petit-déjeuner le matin était très bon, le personnel est très serviable surtout Shimar toujours très souriant avec nos enfants et à notre écoute. Rien de particulier, l'hôtel correspondait tout à fait notre attente
- Sowmiya (2/5): - Convenient and good location. Was not worth it, one of our beds had dirty sheets, we heard a man snoring all night (paper thin walls) and the bathroom stunk of vomit - earlier that morning we heard someone omitting so it was probably that. Which isn’t the hotels fault but it impacted us and the $70 a night we paid was certainly not worth it.
- Nathalie (8/5): - Very central location within walking distance to all places of interest and restaurants. The staff was very welcoming and it was surprisingly quiet. Comfortable room and clean bathroom. Lovely choice of breakfast. The room only had Indian power points so make sure you have the right adapters.
- Peter (1/5): The hotel cancelled booking and atill charged me after. - 2 days before my stay the hotel t t me to cancel the booking saying the room was under repair, so i booked an alternAtive . The hotel then charged me for my stay and i am still trying to resolve it.
They denied cancelling despite me showing the txts.
By coincidence i met and american man who had the identical experience 2 days later.
I’d avoid , there are plenty of nicer places in same price range . See avove
- Igo (7/5): Fine for a short break - Great location. Food was delicious. Staff were lovely Rooms very dated
- Elizabeth (6/5): - Good location. Comfy bed and hot showers. Very clean. No window to the outside (only to a hallway) and no soundproofing at all. Could hear everyone and everything including staff getting ready for their work day early in AM.
- Shinya (7/5): - ロケーションが最高。キャンディのどこに行くのにも便利。清潔で、十分な広さ、朝食が美味しかった。 写真で見るよりもかなり設備は古ぼけている。それでも全く気にならないほどのホスピタリティ。
- Mariko (8/5): 朝食がボリュームあって美味しい。立派もスタッフも良い - 立地が良い シャワーのお湯が出ない。エアコンの音がうるさい
- Anna (8/5): -
- Hillary (7/5): I am happy. - Great location Great location and staff are super friendly and helpful. Shimar is very friendly and accommodating with excellent service.
- Sudeep (10/5): -
- Philipp (6/5): -
- Gianluca (7/5): - La posizione centrale. Personale gentile. Presenti prodotti per il bagno, phon e doppi asciugamani. Abbiamo pranzato nel ristorante e il cibo era abbastanza buono con prezzi modici La stanza non era pulita bene, non aveva finestre ed era piccolina.
La colazione molto scarsa e non buonissima.
- Manjula (8/5): -
- vidal (9/5): -
- Melisa (9/5): - Super buen trato de l agente en especial el mozo Shan qué hablaba un poquito español y nos ayudo a ver donde cambiar dinero a donde ir y nos ayudo también con el menú Que no ponen acondicionador para las mujeres
- Carmen_63 (10/5): - Personalul a fost de nota 10 .Ne-a pregatit micul dejun la pachet pentru dimineata, deoarece plecam foarte devreme.Camera a fost curata, am avut apa calda la baie, pozitia hotelului centrala.
- Maria (8/5): Great location, right in the middle of the city. - Staff were super helpful. Great location. Close to cultural show and Kandy Lake. Great breakfast. Handy having a coffee shop downstairs. The air conditioner was extremely noisy. It was like a fish tank was in the room gurgling away.
- steven (1/5): - Nothing. Damp in room
- Michelle (10/5): Fantastic place - We made a great choice when we changed to this accommodation. Right in the centre of the city.
The room was very comfortable. The lack of natural light was not a problem, small price to pay for such a great spot and we were close to a shared balcony.
The staff in the restaurant and also running the accommodation are truly exceptional. Young Shan is going to have a great career in hospitality I’m sure.
- pia (7/5): Central stay in Kandy, if you want to explore the city walking - Great central location, walking distance to everything in Kandy, market, temple, lake
- Ayodhani (9/5): -
- Zuzana (6/5): - Pokoj byl bez oken.
- Caroline (8/5): - Very clean, good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Shower takes a long time for hot water to come.
- Gustav (10/5): - Zentral gelegenes nettes Hotel, freundliches Personal, super Frühstück schon ab 06:30 morgens. Zimmer mit Balkon war schön und groß, Bad ok, Service außergewöhnlich aufmerksam. Wir empfehlen es, wenn man in Kandy nicht auf den Hügeln wohnen will.
- Manijeh Nan (5/5): Shabby - It was walking distance to the lake and the temple. (The street was eerily dead at night, though.) The breakfast was fine. The waiters at breakfast were nice. I think some of the rooms haven't been maintained at all for the past 20 years. I think the A/C unit was 20 years old, and it did not work very well. I don't think the walls have been painted for 20 years. They were in the process of renovating one of the rooms (so the bed and furniture were in the hallway). Hopefully they will eventually renovate all the rooms.
- Tamara (7/5): Preis Leistung gut - Lage war sehr zentral. Frühstück war sehr gut. Personal bemüht und freundlich. Man hat kein Fenster im Zimmer. Das „Fenster“ vor dem Bett schaut zum Flur, man muss einen Vorhang zuziehen um Privatsphäre zu haben.
- Philipp (10/5): -
- net_p (7/5): - Location and convenience. May be a little too high cost!
- Rossella (8/5): - Posizione super centrale .staff accogliente e pronto ad aiutarti per qualsiasi cosa .
- Elísabet Maren (7/5): -
- Lingeswaran (9/5): -
- Thevindu (8/5): -
- THIBAUT (8/5): Bon hôtel bien situé dans le centre de Kandy - localisation parfaite en centre ville pour aller visiter le temple de la dent et le marché. ils proposent aussi un restaurant de type contemporain. chambre très correcte et bonne literie. Service attentionné. possibilité d'aller visiter le temple de la Dent avant de prendre le petit déjeuner à la carte.
- Awad (3/5): Trouble stay in a old hostel - I am sorry to say there is nothing to like in this what called hotel! Actually it is a hostel and I suggest booking.com to check such places to write the right information on booking site. Room door locks are very bad, air-conditioning very old and noisy, room walls are rotten and musty....etc Nothing

- Krisztina (1/5): - Location is good. We were very dissatisfied with the accommodation. The room was musty and had no window. It was clearly an old office that had been converted into a room. Two sides of the room were made of glass, covered only with curtains, and next to it was a corridor where people were constantly passing by.
We tried to change rooms, but it was only possible the next day. However, the rooms offered to us were in the same condition. The only reason we didn’t move to another hotel was because it was pouring with rain and we were traveling with a child — but knowing what we know now, that wouldn’t stop us, and we would definitely not stay there again.
Under no circumstances would we choose this hotel again. During our vacation, we had six other accommodations booked, and we did not experience anything like this anywhere else.
Additionally, the TV did not work, and there was no hot water on the first day. The staff tried to help, but we faced language barriers.
- HIROSHI (9/5): -
- alessandro (8/5): -
- AlbertoBissacco (9/5): -
- Jiří (8/5): - Dobré umístění, vše v dobré dostupnosti, na pokoji prostorné koupelny s horkou vodou. Pokoje by už potřebovaly údržbu, nejdou poradně dovírat dveře, poteklé stropy a možná i vymalování pokojů by je prosvětlilo.
- Blanka (8/5): Good choice for its central location - The central location was great, just a few minutes away from the main sights of Kandy. The room was large as was the bathroom. Also fairly reasonably priced. Enjoyed the variety of breakfast options as well. The rooms could use a small facelift.
- Maxime (7/5): - Hôtel central , parfait pour se balader en ville et aller au temple de la dent sans avoir à prendre de tuk tuk La chambre que nous avions était humide et des moisissures tombaient du plafond
- Dylan (10/5): -
- Tony (8/5): Absolutely fine (with earplugs!) - Clean, friendly staff, good location Noisy ( but fine with foam earplugs!)
Slightly Musty and dated rooms
- Edwin (10/5): -
- Saori (8/5): - スタッフが、親切
一階がカフェなので、人もたくさんいる
クーラーも効いてた 部屋がガラス張りにカーテンなので、女性は少し不安
見えないと思うが、、
ドライヤーがなかった
- Karel (9/5): -
- Monika (8/5): - Fint sted. Rigtig god morgenmad og rart, hjælpsomt personale Udsigt til baggården var ok hvis man kiggede ud i horisonten hvor der var et bjerg med buddastatue. Vinduerne kunne ikke åbnes, sikkert af sikkerhedsmæssige grunde.
- Karla (8/5): -
- Jacek (10/5): - Świetnie usytuowany, blisko atrakcji, miły i pomocny personel, na wszystkie pytania online odpowiadała nam pani Amra nie musieliśmy czekać na odpowiedź odpowiadała natychmiastowo, nawet jak przyjechaliśmy wcześniej po ustaleniu z panią Amra był już gotowy. Po za tym w obiekcie jest restauracja z bardzo dobrym jedzeniem, nawet moje dzieciaki były zachwycone. Polecam gorąco naprawdę warto.
- Calum (10/5): -
- Jasmin Yvonne (5/5): -
- Davin7 (7/5): -
- Norbert (8/5): - The location is close to the centre of Kandy so everything is within walking reach. Rooms are accessible through elevator or stairs. You get fixed choices of breakfast type to choose from with some variations in each of them. If it's not included with the room booking you have to pay for each breakfast. Room as to be paid on arrival. Anything extra to the breakfast like espresso has to be paid extra since it's not included within the available breakfast type. Your daily made-up room may not be ready when you return from your day trip at 1700. You may also have to re-ask for new small towels.
- Ebru (10/5): - Otel konum açısından çok merkezi ,ve en büyük artısı kendi lokantası olması.yemekleri çok lezzetli ve kaliteli.çalışanları güler yüzlü.yardımsever.fiyat performans için çok güzel. Pencerelerin koridorlara bakması biraz garip.
- sjors (6/5): -
- Joe (6/5): Weird room but nice staff - The location was good.
The staff was nice and polite. We didn’t like our room because it was next to the staff room, so we could hear people coming and going — the door even had a glass window, which made it noisy and we could see shadows.
There were also two interior windows, one facing the lift area and another behind the bed with just a curtain, which felt a bit strange.
The sheets weren’t clean; they looked old and dirty…
- yuri (8/5): 立地の良さ - キャンディの観光には、立地が最高でした。色々歩いていくことができました。
仏歯寺からも5分とかかりません。有名なアーユルベーダ商品のお店や、地元民でいっぱいのドーサのお店も徒歩圏です。
朝ごはんも、十分満足できるものでした。
デラックスルームにはちゃんと窓があるので、日本人にはお勧めです。 無し
- Patrik (10/5): - Café Aroma Inn är ett mycket trevligt hotell som vi varmt kan rekommendera. Personalen var genomgående otroligt vänlig, hjälpsam och fick oss att känna oss välkomna från första stund. Läget är perfekt – centralt med gångavstånd till mycket, men ändå lugnt och tyst på nätterna. Frukosten var mycket god och en härlig start på dagen. Ett riktigt fint boende i Kandy!
Extra stort tack till Shan som organiserade en oförglömlig cooking class med Suranjith och hans familj där vi fick laga genuin Sri Lanka mat. Personalen ordnade även medhavd frukost till vår utflykt till Sigiriya.
- Sabrina (9/5): -
- Yvonne (8/5): -
- Martin (6/5): -
- Malin (7/5): - Stel personal.
- simone (8/5): - Posizione comodità della stanza colazione Non andava l acqua calda, ma lo staff ha rimediato il problema in 40 minuti
- Ryan Y (8/5): Good short stay - Hotel was centrally located and was part of a cafe. Very near the main temple. Room furnishing was very dated.
- Jaro (9/5): - Izba nie je veľká, ale hotel je veľmi pekný a čistý, veľmi blízko centra. Raňajky boli skvelé a v hotelovej reštaurácii sme si dali aj večeru.
- Gijs (3/5): -
- daniele.zanini37 (9/5): -
- chi yeung ryan (1/5): Smelly room - The room is stinky and smelly. You cannot sleep and the bed is bad. Moles on the wall. Noise from outside the restaurant. Windows are just a wall between your room and hallway.
- Christian (4/5): Für eine Nacht okay. Generell ist Kandy nicht besonders schön gewesen. - Dass dazugehörige Kaffee sieht sehr nett aus und auch die Speisen sahen gut aus. Die zentrale Lage ist nicht schlecht man kann in der Umgebung eine lokale und kleine Geschäfte zu Fuß schneller erreichen. Das Zimmer hatte kein Fenster, nur ein großes auf den Gang hinaus. Die Tür war teilweise aus Glas, daher war es bei Nacht im Zimmer viel zu hell. Es standen einige Wasserflecken und Schimmel,flecken an der Decke und an den Wänden von der Klimaanlage.
Obwohl wir das Frühstück mit bezahlt haben und das zweimal zugesichert wurde, wollten Sie uns dann wieder einen Aufschlag für das American Breakfast verrechnen obwohl das eigentlich kein Mensch bestellt hat. Im Kaffee tun sie zwar auf gehobene Gastronomie, die Kellner können aber eigentlich kaum Englisch und sind mit wenigen Gästen stark überfordert.
- Giulia (8/5): - La posizione molto centrale La stanza non aveva finestre, il bagno spazioso ma con muffa e la colazione basic e con servizio molto lento (abbiamo aspettato 40 minuti per una omelette).
- Ale&Anto (8/5): - Hotel pulito e molto centrale vicino al tempio. Buon ristorante e colazione discreta. Un pò troppo rumore tra ristrutturazione dell'hotel e macchine dei condizionatori
- Matteo (9/5): Un ottimo soggiorno veloce - Ottima posizione in centro della città vicino a ogni attrazione buon rapporto qualità prezzo
- Sarah (8/5): -
- Jérôme (8/5): Very good place to stay in the heart of Kandy - Still one of my favorite places to stay in Kandy.
people are really nice and helpful, the cooks make great food, and the coffee is really good :-)
- shanel (10/5): יש תמורה למחיר מקום מעולה ואנשים טובים מאוד - המיקום , הצוות השירותי שעונים לכל בקשה מיד ובחיוך החדר המרווח כלום היה מעולה
- Noemi (10/5): -
- Maria (9/5): está bien - muy limpio y cómodo
- Akash (9/5): -
- Sigrid (6/5): - Kaffee war sehr gut, Essen auch
Dusche mit sehr gutem Wasserdruck Fensterloser Raum mit Klimaanlage / finster ohne Tageslicht
Sehr klein, beengend mit Koffer
- Alejandro (10/5): -
- Gutierrez (9/5): Correcto - Estaba bien ubicado , limpio y confortable
Los trabajadores super amables, debido a las inundaciones nos tuvimos que quedar una noche más y nos lo facilitaron La habitación no tenía luz natural , ni ventana
- Sean (9/5): -
- Sampath (6/5): Economical stay - Just the price. Parking was a mafia game. Front of the hotel is only for public parking. We had to pay twice just to stay one night at this hotel. So any body having a vehicle forget this hotel.
- Anais (9/5): -
- Paul (7/5): - Great location. helpful staff. The room didn't have an outward facing window - which wasn't clear when I booked.
