Good hotel overlooking the lake
Good hotel overlooking the lake. The staff were great & really looked after us. We ate in the restaurant at night & the food & wine were excellent. Good breakfast, the only downside was the coffee which wasn't good. Overall we would stay here again.

Well located in Kandy
This hotel is well located for Kandy, in front of nice lake and short walk to Temple of the Tooth and town centre. We were greeted with a free lunch on arrival since they were promoting the place and we ate very well; we had a second lunch there and that was very good too. Place was overall comfy but rooms seem to have thin walls since it felt quite noisy. But all good overall.

Comfortable room wth a view
Very comfortable bed in a room with stunning views over the lake in Kandy. Only downside was no lift, but staff were very helpful getting the bags up to the room. Will stay there again if I’m back in Kandy.

Right across from Lake Kandy. Traffic is heavy outside at times. You can walk to the temple, and most any place in town. Staff is very helpful & anxious to serve

The staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Ryan on the front desk. The room we had was simple and clean, aircon worked great. The viewing area on the 4th floor is really nice.

Comfortable hotel in a great location on the lake
This hotel was really comfortable. The beds and pillows are amazing. We had a side view of the lake but our friends had a big balcony and panoramic view of the lake. Service was really friendly and the location is so convenient- one of the best in town. Highly recommend and would go back

Fantastic, friendly staff giving 1st class service. Excellent food. My only slight criticism is the air conditioning in the room was a bit noisy but overall a most enjoyable stay and I would definitely be very happy to stay again.

Thumbs up
No real problems, except low water pressure, I guess. We got in late and left in the morning, so it was just a nice bed to sleep in for us.

Not a good experience. In my opinion you can’t believe the other reviewers. They appear to be false. I don’t recommend this place.
Here are the issues we had after one night stay. It should be noted we switched hotels after one night… we were booked for 2..
No hot water
AC very noisy. Couldnt be adjusted. On or off were the only choices
Safe issue. Took them 20 mins and couldn’t be sorted out. A Portable one arrived with keys. Code only worked once. But main concern was portability of the actual safe. Not secure at all.
TV batteries..dead. Had to call to get new ones and then lack of channels
Street noise. Didn’t stop throughout the night. Difficult to sleep.
Hall light comes through transom no curtain.. room was too bright all night.
Location not great. Nothing else nearby. No shops for water etc
Limited towels.. 2 total.
Uncomfortable and lumpy bed. Terrible for sleeping.
While the staff was friendly it didn’t make up for other issues.
Don’t believe the other reviews. I wish I hadn’t.. find somewhere else to stay.

The staff are very eager to help. They were excellent. However, the property is near a school and the students practiced their marching band rehearsal at 6am. Otherwise, it's a decent place to stay for a night. Be mindful that it's only stairs -- no elevators.

Perfect location for a stay next to the tooth temple. Very safe promenade, 10 min walk maximum to the tooth temple and around 15 min to kandy citycenter.
The staff is super helpfull they offered us a fresh waterlemon juice during our check in.
The wifi is slow and bad but thats fine if ur visiting srilanka to disconnect. The hotel is averga regarding the cleaning part. Finally super convenient for one night, kandy lake is in front of it wonderful spot. We went for dinner at a rooftop nearby and didnt have breakfast so we didnt try the food of the hotel

Affordable, comfortable stay
Good location on the far edge of Kandy Lake. 10 min walk from the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. 15-20 min walk from town.
The room has everything you need and the beds were exceptionally soft - didn’t want to get up in the morning!
We were able to check in early when we arrived, which we really appreciated. We were able to have a hot shower after our bus ride from Sigiriya.
Considering the good price, this was a comfortable stay for a walkable visit to Kandy.

A Sri Lankan Gem!
This hotel was amazing! Service and accommodations felt 5-star, and the price was the best part. The suite I stayed in had more space than my apartment with a jacuzzi overlooking the lake with an all glass view. I will definitely stay here when I return to Sri Lanka in October!

Affordable luxury!
We stayed for 3 nights at Viyana and we thought the location was perfect - right on the lake and around a 15 minute walk to the Sacred Tooth Temple.
The staff were absolutely brilliant - always smiling and chatting to us and catered to every need.
We had a leak in our bathroom from a heavy rainstorm which we informed reception about and someone came immediately. They offered to change our room but we politely declined (too much effort to pack!!) so instead they offered us a free breakfast which was such a kind gesture!
Would highly recommend Viyana for people visiting Kandy!
