Hotel centrally placed. The public areas are clean but old fashioned but not without charm. There is a pool but this is open to the public and so expect if female and white some comments - and we were a group of middle aged women The bedrooms are grubby , in particular pillows ( discarded and slept on rolled up... more

this was our last minute choice as we were hoping to travel straight away to nuwara eliya and not to stop in kandy but as we were too late we decided to stay, then the next problem was about the place, then our grand parents came up with hotel suisse coz they have spent there honeymoon here fifty years before.... more

What a strange night we had..... I prepaid online through a hotel booking service and sent them a number of emails requesting confirmation of reservation but received no response. We headed off to Sri Lanka and spend the first couple of nights in Colombo. I then called Hotel Suisse and eventually got someone to confirm the reservation for the next... more

We stayed in February 2008. The hotel is a beautiful old building, set right near the lake, but about a 10 minute walk from the centre of town. Our room had a great balcony overlooking the lake - and better still, overlooking a huge tree full of monkeys! The rooms do look a little bit like they haven't changed in... more

The hotel Suisse is a breath of fresh air from usual tourist hotels. That is to say. it is a breath of old fashioned dusty charm and a taste of a bygone age. If you want to be based in Kandy itself, it is far better than most of the hotels featured by tours and agencies which are outside of... more

Old world charm and manners from the staff. True some of the furnishings are dated but this is in keeping with the overall feel of the hotel and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Great size rooms but be careful not to accept a room near the bar as this can be noisy. Food was very good and varied. Location is quiet... more

I had read the mixed reviews about the Hotel Suisse but was prepared to look at it in a positve light. We arrived for a two night stay and first impressions were quite good. OK it was old looking but that is part of its charm and the service we received was excellent. We were taken to our rooms which... more

We stayed at the Hotel Suisse in Kandy for two nights while on a road trip through Sri Lanka. We were impressed with the amount of history we found at this hotel. It's like you stepped back in time about 80 years. High ceilings and very big rooms, old tiles in the bathroom and old furniture made me feel like... more

We just stayed in the Hotel Suisse mainly because it was close to the friends we wished to see in Kandy. For that reason we perhaps had no great expectations. Nevertheless we had a lovely time overall. Our room had a beautiful parquet floor, high ceilings, and lovely symmetry of windows and doors-in short, it was elegant. The furniture was... more
