The owner and all his staff were incredibly kind and helpful! The hotel looked beautiful, and from the pool you had a stunning view over the city. Definitely recommended!

No toilet at reception , we were sold Tickets to the Kandy Festival- it was so fully packed and you had to stay there from 17.30-00.45. so think if you need to see it if you don’t like crowds of people.

The bed was comfortable and the rooftop Restaurant was a nice viewpoint to see the white Buddha- the staff was very friendly The owner was friendly and helpful

Everything perfect

Sometimes you get lucky, this was one of those times. After a long road trip (motorbike), mad rush hour traffic around Kandy and a last minute booking, this was such a welcome respite. Really nice welcome, including a cold drink. The room and ensuite were very tastefully decorated, very comfortable, clean and with lots of space. The service and quality of food (dinner and breakfast) was exceptional, all prepared by the owner and his wife. Nothing was too much trouble, any requests - for drinks, advice, one of the team even went to the local shop for us - was too much trouble. It's rare to find such a level of service. I'm touring Sri Lanka for a week and this is a standout place. Highly recommended and great value.

best location and place

While the hotel isn't located in the city center, it's easily accessible with a longer. Alternatively, a tuk-tuk ride can bring you there effortlessly. Just a few meters away, you'll find two restaurants offering breakfast at very reasonable prices. The rooms are beautifully furnished with brand-new equipment.

Nothing at all. Be mindful there are steps to access bedrooms.

We were welcomed by the lovely staff who made us feel at home , so kind and they will do anything for you and obviously ,you must respect all of the staff who work so hard to keep everything going.We truly loved that ! Udesh is the owner and is our friend for life an amazing kind and generous person , he took care of our needs and even rescued my husband when he had a dental problem. Udesh was kind enough to arrange a tour to Sigiriya the famous rock mountain , we found it easy travelling with Udesh because we find it hard to walk too much, we are currently travelling with Udesh to various parts of Srilanka and we are so grateful to him that he is showing us some beautiful view points on the way. We loved the beautiful view from the bedroom window you can see mountains and the huge Buddha statue and as you go up the stairs each landing was beautifully decorated with authentic Srilankan artwork. We loved our beautifully decorated bedroom with AC it was so amazing huge comfortable bed and big bathroom beautifully decorated. The restaurant served us up with a delicious huge Srilankan breakfast and tea. We also had access to a beautiful pool.A wonderful experience we will never forget we hope to be back with the rest of our family x

Nothing really. Only thing was getting the rooms two prong kettle plug into the UK style three pin socket, but they sorted this immediately when asked. Great place.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms were finished to a very high standard and very comfortable. The swimming pool was small but welcome, and this is in the city so to be expected. The owner was very helpful in finding tuk-Tuks when we left, because the tooth was on display for the first time in 16 years and it was chaotic, and I mean CHAOTIC! I highly recommend this place.

Our stay at Manthra Leisure was very comfortable and relaxing after a tiring tour around Kandy and travel by train. Nisha made sure that all our needs were met and gave us flexible check in and out times which helped a lot with our timings. Very welcoming staff and the guy who helped to carry our luggage and replenish things was very good. Nisha explained every detail of the attractions near and far from the city. She is very pleasant and made sure our safety was importan. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Kandy next.

The WiFi is absolutely awful - did not work in the room at all. But that’s the only thing!

What a lovely stay! Chef Hiruna absolutely made it for us, what a great cook and host! Helped us with transfers and all round very kind. His devilled chicken was the best in the whole of Sri Lanka! The rooms are spacious, the pool is on the rooftop and they serve drinks in the restaurant.

I stayed one night at Manthra leisure and it was just great. The staff was exceptional as they helped me organize afternoon sightseeing and even made me breakfast at 6 am. I would definitely recommend staying at Manthra to anyone visiting Kandy!

One of our rooms did not have wifi. Pool had a fair few dead flies in it - could have been cleaned before people were going to swim in it.

Staff was super helpful, friendly and attentive. The staff had tickets for the Kandy Dance show which saved us the hassle of buying them from a vendor and they also provided us with reccomendations on things to do in Kandy. Breakfast was good, particularly the fruit serving at the end of the meal The pool was a nice addition and the rooms were very nice and clean with balconies
