Kandy, is an anglicized word from the Sinhalese word, “kande,” which means hills, in which the place is located. The Sacred City of Kandy, Sri Lanka is regarded as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, because of its religious and cultural sites.


We spent one night in Kandy so we could visit some of the sites including the Buddha tooth relic temple.

Our quaint hotel had a beautiful location on the side of a mountain outside of Kandy town with a view into the surrounding valleys.


The were some good and some bad things about our hotel.

The good:
- we were the only guests
- the views were stunning
- the staff were very helpful
- very quiet - only sound was the chirping of birds
- clean modern rooms

The Bad:
- communication was a problem  - as seen in above photo where we received 3 rounds of bread (garlic buttered, garlic toasted, plain wonder bread) with dinner.  None of which were requested!


But for a Bed and Breakfast that is $30 a night I certainly think it was good value.
