    The room was very clean and neatly done. We really liked the location... Near to kandy town and not far for us to go have a look at the temples and attractions. Anything we needed as in food to eat and stores were also very close and easy access to the Kingston Court. The Kingston Court is an amazing place to chill and relax... We really had an awesome time.... Highly recommend to anyone planing to stay in kandy for a few days and more.... Thanks again KC.

    Our experience at The Kingston Court in Kandy was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, Shawn, the host, welcomed us with such warmth and care that we immediately felt at home. His hospitality is truly exceptional — he goes far beyond what you expect from a host. Shawn not only helped us plan our entire Sri Lanka itinerary with excellent suggestions, but also shared valuable tips on local eateries, hidden gems, and must-do experiences. His local knowledge and passion for making his guests feel comfortable made a huge difference in our trip. Everything we asked for — he was always there to assist with a smile. As a beautiful gesture, Shawn upgraded our room at no extra charge — a thoughtful surprise that added even more comfort to our stay. The upgraded room was spacious, clean, and very cozy. The property itself is a hidden gem — full of antique charm, character, and peaceful vibes. You truly start appreciating the beauty of this place the longer you stay. Adding to the charm of The Kingston Court are the lovely furry friends on the property — Lola the friendly dog and Garfield the adorable cat. They added so much warmth to our stay, making it feel even more like home. If you’re an animal lover, they will surely steal your heart! Staying at The Kingston Court was not just about having a place to sleep — it was about experiencing genuine Sri Lankan hospitality, where you are treated like family. We left with beautiful memories and hearts full of gratitude. I would rate both the property and Shawn 10/10 without hesitation. I highly recommend The Kingston Court to anyone visiting Kandy. If you want a peaceful stay, personal care, and a truly homely atmosphere, this is the perfect place. Thank you once again, Shawn, for everything. We hope to return soon and stay even longer! Love from India.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kingston Court in Kandy. The property was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. A special thank you to Mr. Shawn, the owner, who was incredibly helpful throughout my trip. His warm hospitality made me feel right at home. It was also lovely to know the place is named after his son, Kingston — a nice personal touch that reflects the family's care and pride in the place. Everything during my stay went smoothly, and I truly appreciate the effort Mr. Shawn put into making it a great experience. I would definitely recommend Kingston Court to anyone visiting Kandy and would love to stay here again in the future!

    The Kingston Court provides excellent facilities. Everything we needed they had and more. We couldn't believe the cost over comfort.... The lowest in roomrate with the most comfortable environment. Such great value in the current market. We love to travel and try out different venues.... The Kingston Court has to be in our top 5 of amazing valued places we have stayed. Highly recommended.

    We loved our stay at the Kingston Court..... Such a cool place... We have never seen a wonderful place like this before. The decorations and items are a story of where the owner Mr. Shawn have been traveling around the world. He is an amazing host. Helped us with everything. There is everything you need next to the hotel. Restaurant and shops. Mr. Shawn also arranged a tour guide and a car for us. We loved our stay and have already reserved a few rooms for the next weekend for us and our friends at the Kingston Court

    The room and everything was amazing... The Kingston Court was very clean and so comfortable. We were able to cook our meals. The Kingston Court provided all cooking features making it feel like our own home. We loved the vibe and immediate felt so welcomed and relaxed. The Kingston bar is amazing... We have never seen and tried the custom cocktails anywhere in sri lanka. The prices were also very affordable. All in all an amazing experience... We will definitely come back and bring our friends and family with us. Thank you very much Mr. Shawn and his warm family. And thank you Kingston Court.

    The Kingston Court staff waited until we checked in around 2 in the morning... Mr Shawn was so nice and friendly. The place is beautiful and very clean and tidy... We were surprised at how children safe it is... Mr Shawn also went the extra mile in organizing a few toys for our child. We never expected that. The room was very big as well as the washroom..... Modern and stylish with all prepaid channels available. We booked for an extra few days more because it's worth it and we want to stay and enjoy a bit more..... Thank you Mr. Shawn and the Kingston Court. We are having a wonderful time... We highly recommend to everyone who is passing by kandy to stay here... It's so much better than expected.

    Everything was more than perfect ! 👍

    From the first contact with the owner I understand that our experience in this location will be a pleasant one. But in fact what we received was much more than our expectations !!! First the location is very good, easy to arrive by bus, very clean and well decorated, many commodities around. Shawn is the most amazing person we ever met! He helped us with a lot of advice, showed us around, and helped us to arrive in time to the railway station. He is the perfect person to contact if you need any help !!! Always ready to help and to support support people in need! Finally after just one day, we become family friends! His children are amazing, very sweet and well educated! It was really difficult to leave the place ! If you are a single woman travel, this is the best save place to stay in Kandy !

    Access is up a steep road which was a challenge for our tuk tuk.

    Spacious room with surprisingly comfortable bed (given that it was very firm). Had a really good nights sleep! Great to have access to kitchen facilities and some outdoor space. Shawn (the owner) is terrific - English is his first language so had some interesting conversations and were able to get recommendations from him about where to visit and where to eat etc.

    Shawn and his boys were fantastic hosts and made us feel so welcome and part of the family - going out of their way to ensure we had the best time. The accomodation was just outside the city so it was nice and peaceful - easy to get local bus or pickmes into main Kandy. Facilities were great - it was nice to have a hot shower and access to a kitchen and living area. We also loved the added bonus of being around dogs! Would highly recommend and hope to stay again when we’re back in Sri Lanka in the future

    We loved the energy of the place as soon as we stepped in (nothing better than three wagging tails welcoming you after a long trip all the way from Turkey🇹🇷). Perfectly clean,cosy decor,lovely room, and a kitchenette to top it all off. Let alone the lovely accommodation, Shawn, the host, was incredibly thoughtful. He accompanied us from the minute we booked until we reached our station to leave. He even prepared a tasty brunch for us since we were starving. Even more,he gave us lots of recommendations from shops to events and must visits. We are more than satisfied. We would give a 20 out of 10 if possible.
