Had a great stay at the Expeditor. Very comfortable lodgings. The walk into the centre of town is lovely along the lake. We organised a Knuckles Mountain trekking day through the hotel (Expeditor Trekking) which was really fantastic - our guide Mervin was a font of knowledge about Sri Lanka and happy to answer our questions about Sri Lankan life and society. The walk itself was beautiful and off the beaten track. We also organised a Three Temples tuk tuk tour with Thuseara who works at the hotel - he drove us to the botanical gardens, three beautiful 750 year old temples just outside Kandy and ended at two beautiful viewpoints looking over the city. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the temples. The day trips were very reasonably priced too. On our last day we had troubles with our train tickets and the hotel helped us to sort it out and ensured we got a train to Ella. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

A very spacious suite for our family. We recieved a warm welcome from the host. If you need a tuktuk driver the accomodation can provide one. Near the temple of the tooth (15 minute walk).

Stayed in March 2025

The accomodation was located in a steep street. We had a two bed room. It was at the edge with three windows and a perfect view to the candy lake and the tooth temple. It's in 20min walking distance. The host and stuff was very nice, helpfull and we felt very welcome. You can get Tickets for the cultural dance direct from the host.

The hotel is okay but it is in a very noisy area. There were so many different sounds early in the morning, crows screaming, dogs barking and the school opposite started the day with extremely loud music that seemed to go on forever... I had quite some short nights. Otherwise the rooms are basic but clean, the host family is friendly and you can walk down to the town center within 15 minutes.

The bathroom was a bit tiny and there was an unpleasant smell coming from the toilet.

Expeditor Kandy is a 10 min walk away from the center but nicely located on a hill with a great view. The bedroom was spacious and clean.

We really enjoyed our stay here especially the warm welcome and local information. We would recommend staying here. - Helpful host and great value for money - Great location in Kandy - short walk down the hill and you're at the lake! Take a gentle stroll around the lake and you're right in the hub of things; Fabulous Pizza place across the street if you want a change from Sri Lankan curry - Bedrooms was spacious, clean, had everything you need including a Mosquito net. - Shower was hot and had good pressure. If it is rainy day you may need to ask for electrical hot water to be turned on as usually run on Solar Power - We bought our tickets to the local cultural show through the guesthouse and organised a great tuk tuk tour to the Botanical Gardens and a few other places. - The view from the top of the hotel was fantastic; we grabbed a few beers at night and sat up there. Very relaxing. - Breakfast menu had variety. Best to order the night before. - Watch out for the monkeys - they are everywhere around here especially in the morning - but was advised to lock up and had no problem.

Nice stay, hospitable host, clean facilities, good location. We are very happy with our stay. Breakfast on the last day cost us 3355 for bread, butter, jam, egg, tea and service charge + 500 for a tuktuk to the station. We then shopped for some snacks to have on the train from the area outside the train station and we got 2 mangoes, 4 mandarins, samosas, water and crisps for about 800 rupees. The tuktuk from the town to the hotel cost us about 300 normally. Just sharing some costs with fellow travellers, so they know how much cash to have on them, and in case you don’t the accommodation also takes credit card :) The family was VERY kind and they helped us call a local number that we were trying to reach. Thank you so much for everything ❤️. Overall we had a great stay, would go back!

It’s a very noisy neighborhood. The local school start outdoor music lessons at 7 in the morning. And there are monkeys!!

A nice place to start visiting Kandy.

The location was great and The rooms authentic and clean. Our favourite part of this stay was definitely the host, she was very helpful with everything and extremely kind. We will miss her..

Stayed in January 2025

Room was spotless and the bed was comfy. The location is at the top of the hill so it wouldn’t be suitable if you’re not good at walking however tuktuks are easy to get. The host was also lovely and made us breakfast in the morning.

Helpful staff, the owner is a nice lady and we had a good chat, it felt like supporting a local business. Convenient location near the lake and to arrange Knuckles range hiking.

The location is on a small hillside, so it's quite tiring to walk up.

The room was clean, and the environment was decent. The staff had a very good attitude. Overall, I was quite satisfied.

Great position and super nice staff! The guy who was taking care of us was simply amazingly kind and helpful: he also organized for us the breakfast at the top floor with a nice view!

Stayed in August 2024

A warm welcome and cold drink when we arrived which we very much appreciated. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the lake so near enough to walk to places but also quiet and away from all the hustle and bustle. A great view from the hotel. The room was clean, basic but comfortable and ideal for a short stay. We especially wanted to leave a good review as the young man who welcomed us was so nice and we made an error with leaving hundreds instead of thousands for a tip for him but we did appreciate his warm, friendly welcome.

We liked it all

Very welcoming kind host; staff extremely friendly and helpful. Great views. We had a family apartment at the top of the villa, felt private & safe, ideal for families with children but we also met younger travellers and an older couple who were all happy too. Lots of good food options close by. Short walk to the lake.

When we checked in it looked like they had no idea we were coming, also the form of payment was different than on my booking.com account. But it was all fixed.

Very bright room and nice view from the window/balcony.
