Top National Museum Hotel Reviews

Cassendra Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"This was amongst the best places I had booked for myself and my mother on our month long trip in Sri Lanka! Mostly because of how attentive the staff was! Especially Tsurn, Imandha and Pahurm. I may have their spelling wrong, but these 3 gentlemen were a big reason why my stay here was amazing! Thank you so much!"

Sevana City Hotel Kandy

"The Sevena City Hotel was the perfect base for our visit to Kandy. It was an easy walk to city center and the Temple of the Sacred Tooth. We were close to the Kandy Esala Perahera routes but far enough away to not feel caught up in the chaos. I would highly recommend the hotel if visiting Kandy."
