Top Anniwatta Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Anniwatta

Grand Serendib Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, well-organized, and featured a sleek, modern design. The absolute highlight was the views—simply amazing from everywhere we went, including the room, restaurant, bar, and pool. The buffet breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. A special shoutout to Pingsara, who provided truly outstanding service, alongside the rest of the friendly and attentive staff. The location is ideal: perched on the hill so it’s easy for cars to access, yet still well within short walking distance of the town center, shops, and restaurants. Highly recommended!"

Cassendra Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic day at Hotel Cassandra. The staff was exceptionally friendly, professional, and accommodating, with Darshana and Iwantha particularly distinguishing themselves. The rooms were maintained beautifully, stylish, and stunning. The food was delicious and served quickly. We look forward to visiting Hotel Cassandra again on our next holiday."

"Great Hotel"

The Radh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff went above and beyond to welcome us. When I thought I'd lost my passport they were ready to help in whatever way they could. The breakfast and dinner were terrific. In addition to all the traditional breakfast items there was a wide assortment of local dishes. We sampled as many as we could. The pool was lovey, the gym was clean and the hot tub was delightful. We made it to the nightclub and danced to the DJ who started at 6pm. We went at 8pm and had the dance floor to ourselves. We had an issue with some guests two rooms down from us that were very loud at 3am. I informed the staff and it ended about 15 minutes later."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Anniwatta?

The best area to stay in Anniwatta is along the main thoroughfare of William Gopallawa Mawatha, especially the section closer to the city centre.This area is the primary choice for visitors due to its convenient location and accessibility. William Gopallawa Mawatha is a busy road lined with various shops, restaurants, and local businesses, making it easy to find amenities. It's well-connected to the central parts of Kandy, which is just a short drive away.Couples looking for a comfortable and well-located base will find this area particularly appealing. Many hotels here offer good views of the surrounding hills and the Mahaweli River, providing a pleasant backdrop for a relaxing holiday. The proximity to Kandy's key attractions, such as the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the Kandy Lake, means less travel time and more time to explore.For families, staying along William Gopallawa Mawatha offers practical advantages. The availability of diverse dining options caters to different preferences, and the ease of access to transport makes day trips to nearby botanical gardens or tea plantations straightforward.

When is the best time to go to Anniwatta?

The best time to go to Anniwatta is during the dry season, which runs from December to March.During these months, the weather is generally sunny with lower humidity, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. You can expect pleasant temperatures around 25-30°C, superb for exploring Kandy's attractions like the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic or enjoying a stroll around Kandy Lake. This period is particularly good for couples looking for comfortable weather to enjoy cultural tours and walks without the interruption of heavy rain.Anniwatta is a residential area on a hill overlooking Kandy, offering a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to the city centre. Many accommodations here provide excellent views of the surrounding hills and Kandy itself. You'll find it's a bit quieter than staying directly in the bustling city, yet it's only a short tuk-tuk ride away from all the main sights and restaurants.For those who prefer slightly fewer crowds and don't mind the occasional shower, the shoulder months of April, May, and September are also good options.
