Lock in a great price for Hotel Suisse – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

It was once a rather grand building it now is a bit shabby and seen much better days, the grounds however were lovely and the pool area was inviting . The rooms are large and airy, however some of the furnishings are worn and uncomfortable, bathrooms are very dated and are not very clean.

Niall, Belgium

Atmospheric old hotel with lots of character. Great location on the late. Short stroll to the town. Fun wandering around the colonial hallways, pool room, restaurant and gardens. Room and bathroom felt a bit worn down, but we didn't mind it for one night stay. Staff were friendly and made an effort for my partners birthday. Fun!

One of our top picks in Kandy.

Suisse is housed in a colonial building, across Kandy Lake. Offering rooms with views of the tropical grounds or Kandy Lake, it has a spa, a restaurant and free parking.

The colonial-style rooms at Hotel Suisse feature classic wood furnishings and floral fabrics. They are equipped with satellite TV and private bathrooms with hot/cold shower.

Guests can lounge by the landscaped outdoor pool or enjoy a relaxing massage at the Ayurvedic Center. Sauna facilities are also available. There is also a tour desk to assist guests with making travel and trips arrangements.

Suisse Kandy’s restaurant serves a wide variety of Western and Asian dishes. Refreshing cocktails can be enjoyed at the beer bar.

Colombo International Airport is located a 2.5-hour drive from the Suisse Hotel.

This is our guests' favorite part of Kandy, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.4 for a two-person trip.

눉The staff were a bit sourly and not very helpful, my room rate was quoted with breakfast included, however due to some misunderstanding I was charged for breakfast, couldn’t make sense of their explanation, the travel agent connected to the Hotel was hopeless his comprehension was very limited and could not give us basic directions .

눉Billing. There was soo much confusion in it. They blocked amount in credit card initially even though we had agreed to pay at hotel. Later on we got information that it would take14 days to credit back to our account. So we agreed to pay by credit card as we were travelling. But still they created an issue, regarding the same during check out. Staff was unaware of what to do.

눉We were disappointed with our stay at Hotel Suisse. The hotel faces a very busy road with cars hooting, traffic jams, fumes.... there was no proper crossing to the lake. The hotel is about 20 mins walk away from more decent restaurants. Our room was large but barren, dated and miserable. Hand towels turned grey from years of usage. Air-con did not generate cool air but howling all night. We used the ladies near the book shop and it was filthy. The female receptionist couldn’t care less when we reported it. Overall pretty bad value for money
