Checked in at 3am on the first night. Communication was great as there was someone we could reach to welcome us.
The family room is clean and so spacious. Breakfast provided was so yummy. First morning, we had table service as there weren’t many guests. 2nd morning was a buffet. Going to train station was a 400 rupees tuk tuk ride.

Owner and his wife were so friendly and gave very good advises.

Good hotel for a night or two in Kandy. Breakfast is good, rooms are clean, showers nice.

Hosts are friendly and speak great English after living in Australia for 7 years.

Only taking off 1 star because it's located off the most hectic street ever. The hotel is in a nice quiet dead-end road, but to go anywhere in town you have to join the chaos on the nearby connected road.

Still liked it and would stay again.

Very friendly city hotel. Quietly located yet in the center of Kandy. Super good breakfast, the best so far. Everything was clean and friendly. For a city hotel to explore Kandy, it is recommended.

Very clean, varied and very fresh and tasty breakfast, the location is not very great, 10-15 minutes from the train station. The hosts are kind and helpful.

Arriving in Kandy by train we took one of the many tuk-tuks from the station to the Hotel. Although the hotel seems quite near it's not an easy walk with luggage in my opinion. The hotel is set back from a main street about 25m or so. It's a no-through road so no traffic. This enables the hotel to be both central to the city and nicely quiet at night. Checked in by the very pleasant receptionist and offered home made spiced chai ice-tea, very nice indeed! The hotel is family owned, compact, as most city centre hotels are, but bright and very clean. Bags taken to our room (stairs, no lift).|Our room however was large, with a big king bed, good bedding. There were all the little niceties to make the room comfortable: tv, safe, functional shower / toilet, and WiFi worked fine. There was no bar as such, but I did find one across the main road that did take-away's ;)|The hotel is around 10-15 minutes walk from the centre which is busy and bustling as a working city would be. Pavements are not great but it is walkable to the central shops, market and the lake.|After a good nights sleep breakfast was a feast. We stayed 2 nights: the first morning we were served at the table (pic) the next buffet style as more guests. Juice, tea/coffee, fruit platter, french toast/toast, pastries, string hoppers and curry with sambal. So good!|Went to the Kandy Lake Club cultural show the first evening and it was very good. The second day did a full day tour by tuk-tuk and saw everything that we wished to see (separate review) recommend both.|We have no reservations about recommending My City Hotel for a comfortable stay in Kandy: The rooms are comfortable, the staff are great and the breakfast super!

Great stay at My City Hotel Kandy

We have been traveling for the last three weeks in Sri Lanka for the holidays. My city hotel was a perfect stay for us to relax after our tuk tuk journey from Nuwara Eliya. We appreciated the recommendations from the owners and letting us borrow sarongs for temple. They even let us keep our tuk tuk there for a few nights while we went to Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura. Who does that?! Amazing people do! We are forever grateful to your kindness and hospitality. We recommend My City Hotel 100% thanks for the memories - J & M Msjuinness reviewed Jan. 1. 2020 Berlin, Germany

The room is very nice and the bed extremly comfortable, seriously, one of the most comfortable bed we had so far in Sri Lanka.

The bathroom has a really nice shower where you can enjoy a warm shower without drowning the rest of the bathroom.. :) The host is also very nice and speaks really good englisch. He even arranged us last minute tickets for the train to Ella. The Wi-Fi was so good that we could watch some things on Netflix.

Value for money - clean and comfortable, My City Hotel Kandy

Waking up at 5.00am to the sound of bird chirping outside my window. That's my personal preference. Overall good experience. Easy access and convenient location. welcoming staff and quick check in at My City Hotel Kandy. I had asked for a single room, so it was a bit compact, but functional. bed was comfortable and AC quiet ( I slept with fan only since it was cool). The washroom, hot water all good. I ordered dinner which was superb though a bit pricey. However it was still a great meal. overall in terms of value for money, excellent! Room was a bit small and didn't have a closet. one table doubled for storing luggage, dining etc. However room was still functional. I saw the double rooms had ample space.. Turn off to hotel from main road isnt easy to spot - maybe a sign?

Good stay in Kandy (if you go there) at My City Hotel Kandy

Overall experience was good, the hotel provided (for a fee) a driver to pick us up from the airport which was great. The owner was very nice giving tips about things around. The bathroom was very clean and nice, and room was rather spacious (booked family room for 2 people) In the room the AC is positioned right in front of the bed which means it blasts the air right in you face making it impossible to use overnight. The breakfast provided with very limited choice, and no decent coffee. The location was central. I would still highly reccomend My City Hotel Kandy

Great, My City Hotel Kandy

Great room and probably the best bath room we had so far in Sri Lanka. The hosts really take care of their guests and the location is amazing, only a few minutes to walk to the train station, bus station and city center. I would stay here again at My City Hotel Kandy .
