“Great value and lovely view”
The room was a good size for a short stay. The owners were very friendly and had lots of local recommendations! The walk from the residence is about 10-15min which was very doable - how ever it is up a steep hill so be aware. A great view of kandy from the rooftop especially if you’re Lucky to get a nice sunset!

Lovely, kind & helpful hosts who went out of their way to help us. Fantastic view from the balcony. The room is tiny but spotlessly clean, comfy bed & pillows, cosy blanket for the slightly cooler Kandy nights. Lots of natural light & windows to enjoy the view. We were given clean towels & tea/coffee/water was topped up on 3rd day which was unusual in Sri Lanka. Great value & would highly recommend staying here.

“Lovely little family run hotel”
Shani Residence is a wonderful little family run hotel. It is in a very good location, a five minute walk down to the lake which is the main hub of Kandy. An uphill walk back takes slightly longer but it's easy to hop in a tuktuk. The hosts were kind, informative and thoughtful. We wanted to stay an extra night but the hotel was full. They allowed us to leave our luggage with them for an extra day to make our move easier to manage. There is outside space, lovely views across Kandy and an inside communal space too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The room was spotless and comfortable.
