This is a good hotel and staff are very attentive & helpful. I was particularly impressed with our room cleaner (Chamika) who every day surprised us with a beautiful towel sculpture left on the bed. He is really talented! I was, however, disappointed with the room lightin. You have to put every room light on during the evening (waste of electricity) and even then the rooom was not bright enough. It would be far more economical and practical to have a main ceiling light.

Housekeeping is pretty bad. We received a room WITHOUT dental kits, bathroom slippers and had to call seceral times to get an Iron/Ironing Board. Staff in general is really good, friendly and helpful though it's just that their Housekeeping shouldn't overlook the room amenities.

Probably the worst hotel we have stayed in. Main issue was the cleanliness, hopefully i can add photos to this review to show the state on the Bedding, looked like the sheets hadnt been washed since someone deficated on them!!! As for the smell in the room, what looked like someone died on the carpets and the food looking like it had been out for days! If we could have moved hotels that evening we would have, but it was late when we arrived. Staff response to the state of the rooms...."well it's one of our nicest rooms...." but it doesnt matter if its so dirty! Anyway, we checked out the next day rather than staying for the 3 nights booked. The general manager said "he understood and that we should apply for the refund of the 2 unused nights through Expedia and that he would sort it out at his end. The team at Expedia were very helpful but guess what, refund rejected. Having now tried twice to contact Radisson directly with no response we decided to do this review. Having had an amazing stay at the Radisson Red in Cape Town recently, it is not the chain, but i think a management change in Kandy would help! One final word of warning, the TukTuk driver in the smart white outfit who hangs around the hotel and is friends with the luggage guy at the hotel should be barred. He is aggressive, threatens you when you just want to walk to the Lake, threatens taxi drivers! Beware. I dont like giving these kinds of reviews but needs doing to save other travellers.

We enjoyed our stay here. The only thing that was disappointing was… I thought breakfast was included. It wasn’t until I went to check out that I found out it wasn’t when an additional $30.00 USD was charged to my credit card.

Very surprising and nice Radisson
As with so many places, it is greatly about the service. The front desk staff was wonderful, even the bellman was enthusiastic and helpful Thebreakfast buffet was varied and having a coffee machine with multiple choices of beverages was efficient and moved the lines along. The table outside were nice but could have had some kind of shade cover in place. The sunrise from my fifth floor balcony was breathtaking.

So I am high level elite status with both Marriott and IHG over a long period, so mostly stay within those hotel groups across the globe given both the perks and the rewards bookings with points. Kandy did not have that option, and with a 1.5yo baby didn't feel adventurous enough to try a boutique unknown brand (even with good reviews), so we chose this Radisson as a known 'brand'. It had been 11 years since we last stayed at a Radisson anywhere and that was Puerto Rico. For reference also this was a personal trip to Kochi in Kerala with my spouse and 1.5yo child and overall our first trip to Sri Lanka and Kandy specifically. We stayed for 2 nights and booked a suite room overlooking the beautiful Kandy Lake, and also included the breakfast option (which was a buffet). Overall, like mostly everywhere in Sri Lanka, the service was excellent throughout the hotel from check-in to housekeeping to breakfast and rooftop servers and concierge. Everyone did their best to try and help out, and were attentive to our baby. The room while not massive for a suite, still had 2 main rooms, purely a stand-in shower, a large balcony overlooking the lake . And because we were in the corner we got a city view as well as some of major sights like Sawtooth Buddhist temple with its gold roof. It was modern, and they well provided for our baby with extra garbage bags, crib, etc. The breakfast had very good Sri Lankan food, as well as some western options. Hoppers on demand are always a highlight.
