IRIS Kandy Reviews
Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: An exceptional experience from check-in to check-out. Perched on a cliff, the property offers spectacular panoramic views from both the rooms and the rooftop dining area. Catching the sunrise here is a must, and the night scenery is just as stunning. The absolute highlight of the stay was the food. The chef is incredibly welcoming and prepared some of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I stayed for four nights on a work trip, and the staff was consistently supportive and attentive. While the cliffside elevation makes walking up a bit of a workout, booking a PickMe makes access completely effortless. I will absolutely be returning!
Negative: Nothing to complain ☺️
Summary: A whole package of good food and views. Fantastic

The breakfast at the rooftop was a highlight each day. The chef was very attentive in checking in on our personal preferences and ensuring we were satisfied with our meals. The food was delicious. We had dinner in town at a high rated restaurant as well as a dinner at the hotel. The hotel dinner was far superior than what we had in the centre of town.
The owner is very helpful and provided great suggestions. One of his suggestions was a highlight of our trip and again better than the standard recommendations on Google.
The room was nice and comfortable, very clean and aircon worked well.
The hotel staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful.
Summary: Wonderful stay

Positive:
Helpful and welcoming staff, and a very comfortable bed. The room was available even before the official check-in time, which was very convenient for us, and we were also able to leave our belongings there.
The location can be a little difficult to access, as some PickMe drivers refuse to come all the way up. The room is comfortable and has everything necessary, although the décor is very simple and quite minimal, making it feel a little empty at times. The bathroom, however, was absolutely amazing. The best breakfast we had during our entire stay in Sri Lanka! An incredible chef — definitely someone to keep!
Negative:
The air conditioning wasn’t quite powerful enough, and the view was unfortunately very limited from the first-floor room.
Summary: A pleasant and comfortable stay with very helpful staff and an exceptional breakfast.

Beautiful, very quiet hotel. Nice staff and very tasty breakfast served on a beautiful patio.
Negative:
It's quite a walk from the main drag where you can find restaurants, so eat before you return to the hotel. Nice big tv but you have to sign into your streaming platform if you want to watch anything.
