The room had a very strong smell, also no air conditioning nor breakfast included. The bathroom was a bit dirty.

Very caring family and always willing to help. Big room and super cheap price.

The house is really well situated. You just walk one minute and you are in the lake and few minutes more you are in the famous temple. Inside the house we feel in peace and silence. The hosts are more than helpfull. I was really feel like beeings in my family. They really take care of me. The breakfast also is so great and change everyday. So u can learn about the local food.

They serve a typical Sri Lanka breakfast but due to my problem of getting Dick if I eat spicy I didn't enjoy it.

What I liked the most was my conexion with the owner, Sumith. He speaks English so you could have long conversations. He has a very full life of experiences due to the different jobs he had. He also helped me a lot in getting train tickets and on the last day he even took me to the station. A very human person. Regarding the accommodation, it is a very old house with vintage furniture but the rooms are spacious, clean and with hot water in the bath and mine with views of the hills of the lake. Another advantage is that it is very central and you can walk everywhere. Recommended

We stayed there for two nights, everything was really nice. The hosts were the nicest family, made us feel like at home. They were really welcoming, made us tea and very tasty local breakfast, helped us with organising and answered every question we had. We definitely recommend!

Only the location given by booking is not correct - here is the exact gps location: 7.2866741N, 80.6461912E

The owner speaks perfect English, he was also really helpful with buying train tickets from Kandy to Ella. There is A/C in the room and hot water. It’s approximately 1,5 km from the Temple of the tooth and 3 km from the train station. There is a lot of space for parking not only scooters but also a car could fit in there :) We were really satisfied in this accommodation.

We absolutely loved our stay in Kandy and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable experience. The rooms were impeccably neat, and the spacious areas available for us to roam around and explore the beautiful ornaments were among the highlights of our visit. We especially enjoyed the separate living room and kitchen, which provided a homely atmosphere. The assistance and warm hospitality from the Uncle, Aunt, and Sister made our stay even more specia, they truly hold a special place in our hearts. We also highly recommend the breakfast, which offered an authentic Sri Lankan traditional taste that we thoroughly enjoyed. This was one of the best places we have ever stayed at, and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Serenity in Kandy and I cannot say enough good things about it. The location is absolutely fantastic, with a beautiful balcony view that made my mornings so enjoyable. The owner was incredibly polite and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. What really stood out to me was how kid-friendly the stay was. My kid had a blast, which made our vacation that much more enjoyable. And let's not forget about the morning coffee - it was truly extraordinary. The Kandyan aroma combined with the delicious coffee made for a perfect start to each day. I highly recommend Serenity to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming stay in Kandy.

Beautiful house. I stayed at a charming retro style triple room. Loved the vibe of it. Good and quiet location, close to the lake. The view from the balcony is amazing.

The air con was a bit loud and made rattling sounds but it was not so hot at night in Kandy so I just switched it off

Quiet clean place. Lovely, very caring owners, ready to help at any minute. Spacious room. Comfy bed and pillows. Hot water. Good location

The hotel is owned by a local family and they are so welcoming and kind hearted! Very good location and nice view from our room. We weren't able to get a taxi to the train station and the family was so helpful by bringing us there. Really recommend if you want to experience a pleasant home stay :)

Beautiful home with incredibly welcoming owners. Would love to stay again.

The family is very kind and helpful, and the room was big. But the bathroom was very dirty and in terrible condition. There were mosquitoes and ants everywhere, the shower hose was broken and water sprayed all over, and there was a strong bad smell. It was really unpleasant to stay there because of the bathroom.

our guess is that the Serenity was once a really beautiful hotel. the house and everything tells tails from beautiful times... it just lacks a bit of ... love and care..?... at this point. everything seems a bit neglected, faded and old. the windows and mirrors are dusty and dirty, the beds are worn out.. we hope it could become great once more with a bit of energy put into it. that being said, it was still very much okay for the price and for one night. just a mosquito net would be great, there were tons of mozzies during the night which made it not the most peaceful one. (and the fan is too loud and noisy to sleep with it).

we stayed one night in the "Serenity". it is in a quiet and calm neighbourhood that is a bit above the lake. the house, like the room, is spacious and has even a balcony and a common area. the host ist really friendly and we felt welcomed and safe at all times.
