Beautiful views

“Its location with great view. Very comfort infrastructure in apartment”

A beautifu house on the hill with a view. Great comfort in the room and access to a beautiful and peaceful garden. Edwin was a wonderful host, treating us to a traditional Singhalese New Year's breakfast and taking his time to chat with us and tell us about Sri Lanka, which we appreciated a lot. We would definitely return and recommend it warmly!

“Place with one of the most amazing views of Sri Lanka”

The view from the balcony was amazing. Only sounds of the jungle. The staff is so friendly, they will help you with everything you need. We travel with a 1,5 year old girl and she also fell in love with the accommodation.

“Nice view hotel”

The view and the breakfast.

Feels like at a best friend place. Property is very well maintained, clean and comfortable.

Views were good from the common area. Host was nice/welcoming.

Everything, the room very clean and the breakfast very good

“Pleasant stay with friendly staff and caring owner”

“Thanks Viper for an incredible stay”

This family-run hotel offers exceptional service and is perfectly suited for solo travelers, couples, and small families. Guests can enjoy incredible Sri Lankan breakfasts daily, featuring a healthy and diverse selection of dishes. The host, Viper, goes above and beyond to ensure guests are well cared for, taking the time to connect with each visitor personally. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-equipped with comfortable beds, efficient air-conditioning, and hot showers. Located at a convenient distance from Kandy city center, the hotel offers a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. However, transportation is necessary to get around. Tuk-tuks can be easily arranged through the hotel or via the PickMe app. The hotel also organizes day trips to destinations like the Knuckles Mountain Range, providing a unique escape from typical tourist spots. We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion, led by a knowledgeable guide and driver who shared fascinating insights about the area and made scenic stops for photos and videos. If you're staying in the east wing, consider requesting your meals in the west wing to take in the stunning scenic views of Kandy. One important note: the hotel does not accept card payments, so ensure you have cash ready for checkout. Highly recommended!

“Great place, fabulous views and atmosphere”

Great views and very nice atmosphere, you can hear the train in the morning and the birds singing. The host is very kind and helpful and so is the personelle working there. The room includes amenities such as body lotion, shampoo and body wash (this is not always the case in homestays / hotels in SL).

“Charming and Family friendly”

Edwin was an exceptional host! He was incredibly thoughtful, especially with our infant, and ensured milk was arranged in advance as requested. He provided excellent guidance on activities to do in Kandy, making our trip even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delightful, offering us a wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. The property itself is charming, with a lovely garden that attracts adorable birds and squirrels, adding a touch of magic to the day. Edwin was highly responsive and quick to address any concerns, ensuring our stay was both comfortable and memorable.

“Great views, delicious food & super quiet”

Views are incredible, clean & good shower. Sri Lankan breakfasts delicious, also had dinner cooked for us which was also delicious! A previous review wrote about the price of dinner, but it was worth every penny! Viper, the owner was super helpful and was full of interesting history/facts about Kandy.

“Serenity”

The owner Mr. Viper and his workers were very kind and helpful. The family room was clean, large and opens to a balcony with panoramic views. There is access to a common kitchen and dining room which was useful. The Tenthola is in a very nice and quiet location. A feast is served for breakfast on the balcony. We would definitely return when in Kandy.

“perfect”

Everything! The amazing view, the landlord and his personnel, the garden, the cleanliness, the food cooked by viper‘s wife, etc.

“One of the loveliest places in Kandy!”

We had a very lovely time at the Tenthola. This was one of our favourite places to stay during our trip in Sri Lanka. Viper and his staff were super friendly and welcoming from the beginning. The accommodation and the terrace is all newly renovated and sparkling clean. The breakfasts were also a highlight. We liked being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but only being ten minutes away by tuktuk. Viper gave us a lot of great recommendations where to go and put us in touch with a great tuktuk driver, Ravi. We would definitely recommend to stay here!

The best accomodation we had during our stay in Sri Lanka. Rooms are clean, terracce with stunning view. Amazing and tasty breakfast. Beer and limonades in the fridge. Last but not the least - friendly owner 😉
