Ceyloni City Hotel is about as central as Kandy gets: on Cross Street in the middle of town, close to the railway station and the clock tower. The Temple of the Tooth is roughly a 10-minute walk and Kandy Lake about seven minutes.
What it’s like
A practical, no-fuss city hotel with air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, café and snack bar, room service, a lift and a 24-hour front desk. Breakfast and parking are available for an extra charge.
Good to know
- Ideal if you are arriving or leaving by train, or want to explore Kandy entirely on foot.
- Cross Street is busy during the day; it is a city-centre stay, not a quiet retreat.
- Local eateries, bakeries and shops are right on the doorstep.
