Beautiful Views, Great Breakfast, and Great Service!

We had a great view from the room and our hosts were extremely accommodating. They even drove us into town on their tuk tuk. Breakfast was delicious, and our hosts kindly made us vegan meals. We had an amazing time at the Villa Serene!

Be aware that this location is a little out of the way from the city center of Kandy. Luckily, the hosts will take you into town on their tuk tuk. They will add the cost to the bill at the end. We liked being away from the city (the views can't be beat!), but it could be inconvenient.

You should book tuktuk to the hotel

The room and facilities are nice and clean. The family is really friendly. I recommend having breakfast here, quite big compared with other places. The view on the rooftop is amazing and living room is good for working.

You need to walk quite long to the top of the hill to get to the location. Don't follow the Google Map, the location on the map was wrong. You should call them first to make sure. Besides, I walked back from the town late at night and the road was scary they have some dogs around, so if you go back late, better to take tuktuk.

Great stay at this lovely Hotel!

Lovely place with an awesome view due to the location on top of a hill. Everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained. I had a quiet and relaxing stay here, as planned. I can really recommend this place!

A place with amazing view, BUT!

* The view is stunning! * The lady is kind and cheerful.

* The location is a bit confusing for Tuktuks, and while the owner himself has a Tuktuk, it is double the prices on Uber/Pickme.. But I ended up just taking the owner's to save time (as I only had one night in Kandy) * Just know that the Kandy dance (the culture center) is just behind the Temple of the Tooth.. I realized that after the owner made a full circle around the lake, He assumed that "I would want to see the lake" .. I didn't ask for this long tour and the lake is quite visible to me! and I would've preferred walking around Kandy before the shops close.. Luckily, He didn't charge me for this long ride around the lake, which is fair.. But just for heads up so you plan your trip as you would want it to be ;)

A view across the valley

Ironically, I liked the location. On the walk from the villa, I saw mongooses and monkeys. In the nearby forest/jungle I saw a scared dog running down the road. When I went into the reservation I saw a bunch of wild pigs. Nearby is a Five Star Hotel which is fantastic. For most of my stay I thought it was a partially built block of flats dominating the skyline. The Grand Kandyan. This hotel is on Lady Gordon's Drive. Nearby is Lady Torrington Road. It only leads to a few houses. The important road to remember is Sri Dhamma Dhassi Mawatha. Coming out of Kandy on the B519 from the centre, you turn right into a small opening after Trinity College (Odean Road). As you go up the hill you will see a large sign saying LONDON BRIDGE. It is a school. A key junction is by another school, AI ICT. You continue until you turn right onto 4th Lane. Villa Serene is at the end of 4th Lane, by which time the road has become narrow. Villa Serene is on the side of a valley on the top of the hill. There are steps leading from near Villa Serene down to the B519 / A9 by a cricket/football ground (Rajan Memorial Public Ground). Close to Lady Torrington Road. There is also access at this point to Sri Dhamma Dhassi Mawatha. My partial explanation of the road may seem long-winded but I am trying to be helpful. Initially, you or your tuk-tuk driver would be well advised to phone Villa Serene.

What was wrong with the location? I only went out once a day into Kandy. I was walking. I used to return in a pool of sweat, my T shirt soaked. I could have asked Mr T to pick me up in his tuk-tuk or any tuk-tuk driver. But I didn't.
