When we first arrived at this hotel, it was pouring down with rain, and I mean heavy heavy rain, I nearly had a heart attack when the car started to roll back down the very steep drive. The hotel was very empty when we stayed, in fact I think we saw about 8 people, but I have to say it... more

We booked to stay at the Swiss residence for 5 nights on a B&B basis in a standard room for £28 a night. The bad points were... Breakfast was buffet style and stone cold. No fridge or kettle in the room. No cable TV as advertised (complained 4 times) Dirty bedding. Got completly ripped off by the hotel driver, £260... more

This complaint has been reviewed and we welcome the information. However we wish to mention: • Internationally, if a client has a complaint this should be made at the time of their stay, so any complaint could be dealt with immediately.

We arrived in Kandy from Colombo late in the evening in a hired car. Not very far from the centre of the town you wind your way on a narrow road to the top of a hill. The views are breath taking. The hotel has a decent parking, at a slightly lower level. There is a huge Buddha monument just... more

Idiot that I am we arrived at Hotel Suisse in Kandy only to discover that I had booked for Swiss Residences- make sure you get the right Swiss/Suisse when you book! 15 Minutes later we arrived via some steep, winding hillside at Swiss Residences. The hotel overlooks Kandy and our tiny balcony provided us with some breathtaking views of the... more

Before visiting Sri Lanka for 2 weeks staying in Kalutara I contacted several hotels in Kandy via email as we planned to go there for 2 nights. The only reply I got was from a lovely lady called Melanie at the Swiss Residence so we decided that we would stay there. On arrival at the hotel we knew we had... more

For its level, 3-star, really a good place. Suburb of Kandy, need taxi/tuktuk to reach city centre, but the distance (and climb to the top of the hill) is worth it: * Superb views from almost all rooms, either on the cityside or the Katugastota-facing side * Nice restaurant, usually a-la-carte and set menu but buffets at busy days *... more
