Lovely clean room with views over Kandy. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The roof top bar is an added bonus. The hotels location in the Kandy hills is perfect. Just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre but close enough to walk down to the lake.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the King Suite, and it was the highlight of our trip. It is definitely worth the slight upcharge! The infinity pool with views was the perfect way to wind down after a day of sightseeing. The staff was beyond friendly and so courteous. We don't typically choose half board, but our trip to Kandy was quick, so it just made sense to stay on site for meals, and I am so glad we did, because the dinner set menu had plenty of options and the portions were large. Plus, the setting is nicer than any restaurant we would have gone to anyway. And we were able to enjoy an after-dinner cocktail and live entertainment for at their rooftop bar.

Good place to stay

Built like so much of Kandy on the side of a mountain, Grand Serendib Hotel offers a standard room with a great view. The room works well in terms of comfort with a pretty little balcony. We had an excellent buffet breakfast included. The staff were very friendly and polite.
