    The noise from outside the room corridor we could here them. The room size was small. Storage of our suitcase was a bit of a hassle.

    The hotel looked inviting. It's relatively new and built near the Dalada Maligava. Staff are always ready to help and go above and beyond to make the stay comfortable. Beds were the most comfortable. My husband loves the location. Their breakfast is the best. Always have options to suit every taste bud. The spa Ceylon products were great The shower pressure and heat were good. I highly recommend this hotel

    We had an outstanding stay at The Radh with nothing but high praise.

    My wife and I recently had the great pleasure of staying at Kandy’s excellent Radh boutique hotel for 3 nights during the stunning Kandy Perahera Festival. With a great location on one of the quieter streets in the very centre of fascinating, bustling Kandy, tucked away only a few hundred meters from the Temple of The Tooth, The Radh has it all. From its distinctive architecture, well appointed, clean and comfortable rooms and yummy breakfasts, to its most outstanding attribute, its wonderful, welcoming, genuinely friendly and always very helpful staff, with a special thanks to front of house manager Dhanush, Michael, Abdul and manager Domani, our Radh experience deserves our 5 star rating. P.S. As a really special treat, Dhanush arranged for one of the Perahera elephants to be walked down to The Radh forecourt where we had the great thrill of feeding this magnificent animal. Wow!

    Our hot tub balcony was on slight disrepair and hot tub initially not working but resolved quickly. We appreciated their efforts with this. Bath mats could be of better quality. Other than this it was perfect.

    Staff were really kind from the onset and treated us like royalty. The lobby and premises are beautiful. Food is delicious. Room exceptionally clean.

    The only thing that was slightly odd is that on check out they insisted that we didn't leave until they "checked our room". We were on a tight schedule and this created a little bit of tension on check out.

    We had a perfect 1 night stay at The Radh. We booked an Executive King Room which has the little balcony looking out over the road at the front of the hotel. The windows/door are double glazed, so we did not hear any noise from the road outside. Room was spacious and very comfortable with lots of power points in useful places. Bathroom was lovely. We ate dinner at the hotel's Cafe Nihobashi. They have a very extensive menu covering many South East Asian cuisines. The food was very nice. Spice level was right for us (we like spicy). They do not serve alcohol. Our room rate included breakfast. Breakfast was also very nice, with a good selection of foods, and options for a hot breakfast cooked to order. Coffee was good. Note: in Sri Lanka it is common practice for the menu items to be priced exclusive of service charge or government tax, so the final bill is higher as these are then added at in at the end. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION The Radh is very centrally located. A 2 minute walk to the end of the street and you can enter the grounds of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth. Likewise, a 5 minute walk has you at the lake front. This was perfect for us, as we were in Kandy for only 1 night, and it made everything so easy and accessible. There are also lots of cafes and restaurants very close if you chose to eat elsewhere. Location was the main reason for our choice of The Radh. They also greeted our driver nicely and offered him a welcome drink. We really appreciated this. If we return to Kandy for another visit we would definitely stay here again.

    Kandy traffic. It is hard to travel in and out of Kandy as the traffic congestion we felt was worse than in Colombo. Plan your day trips carefully as a lot of time can be wasted travelling through the Kandy congested streets to get to your next sight seeing area.

    A beautifully designed and sized hotel to offer the right kind of service. We cannot fault it. All the staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast though not as large as those in the larger hotels had a very good selection. Perfect location to visit the Sacred Tooth Temple and a very short walk to the bustling restaurant and bar area.

    The Radh felt like a real touch of luxury on our trip. It has that boutique hotel charm - stylish, comfortable, and well thought-out. The staff were friendly and professional, and the breakfast was excellent with a great variety. The location is second to none, especially if you’re short on time and want to explore Kandy easily. Everything you need is right on your doorstep. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.
