We are a Sri Lankan-American family, and we vacationed in Sri Lanka during the summer of 2024. From the moment we booked with The Radh Hotel, we knew we would love our stay. The hotel was quaint, the staff was extremely attentive, and our stay was peaceful. My father, who is a 75-year-old Sri Lankan native, has severe Alzheimer's disease and the staff at The Radh took extra care to attend to his needs and make him feel safe and welcome. I was extremely impressed and felt at ease with the reassurance of the front desk staff. The front desk manager provided exemplary service to our family. He assisted with SO many needs that we expressed during our stay. Our experience was above and beyond. My daughter enjoyed her birthday at the hotel, as well. She felt very special and was sad to leave.Thank you so much! We will stay at this hotel again when we return to Sri-Lanka.

Utterley dissapointed and we left the hotel a day early. We visited the Radh during the Kandy Perahera. We were told to arrive before 2pm to avoid 'inconveniences' due to road closures. We arrived early and our room wasnt ready. Upon getting our room incorrect bags were brought and we found ants. When we mentioned it the staff did resolve the ant issue. What was most unnaceptable is that we were never told under any circumstances that we would be unable to exit or enter the hotel after the festival started. We left at 5:30pm and were trapped outside the hotel for 6 hours. To make matters worse it was exteremley crouded, lots of restaurants were shut & were not serving alcohol & taxis were hard to book. As a result we did not get back to the hotel until 11:30pm. After we left and raised our issues to the Radh their customer service was shocking. They argued there were 5 ants and that we were messaged to say 'arrive before 2pm to avoid inconveniences'. This was not a warning about not being unable to access the property and it was far from inconvenient. Overall, it caused undue stress and upset on our honeymoon & my Wife's birthday.

Perfect hotel in Kandy!
My husband and I had a lovely stay at the Radh Hotel. The staff was most welcoming, helpful and polite from the very moment we arrived. They found all the information with traveling that we présented them with, promptly and always with a smile. Our room had a lovely balcony unto the street and yet it was quiet. The bedroom itself was well appointed with a mini fridge filled with complementary drinks and snacks and a kettle to make tea. The bathroom was stylish and the shower spacious. The breakfast buffet presents a vast array of choices from egg dishes such as omelets on demand, bread, jams, fresh fruits, yogurt, cereals but also more local fares such as curry and much more. The location is ideal to tour the stunning city of Kandy. Starting with the temple of the sacred tooth just at the end of the street and lake few step away…

Customer service is wonderful, very prompt with requests and friendly. The hotel is right in a great central location, next to the temple, lake, and food. Only thing to advise someone else about that we did not know…. The front doors are locked at a certain time at night and you cannot get in, even with a key card. We arrived back on our last night )out of four) after a Homecoming at 1:30 am and could not get in. A guard tried for 10-15 minutes and finally got us in. In the morning I talked to the manager and said we were locked out, and he said they didn’t know we were still out. So great place besides that, just check before if know you are staying out late.

I give Radh Hotel a thumbs up for it’s convenient location right next to the sacred temple, but more importantly, because it was 5 star quality room and amenities for great value. One of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka

Conveniently close to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the lake. A non-alcohol hotel, because I’m told of its proximity to the Temple. Very nice and obliging staff.

Not a great place to stay.
Although the hotel was not full, we were put in a room right next to the night time construction (for the hotel's expansion). We had just arrived, were still jet-lagged and spent an awful first night in the hotel. We asked to change rooms the next morning and that was done but not before one of us got sick. After 2 days in bed, we asked about getting a doctor and the hotel was less than helpful. We saw roaches in the dining room. Hotel advertises 2 restaurants, there is only one and the food wasn't very good. It was a disappointing to start to our stay in Sri Lanka.

Great location and great hotel common area and rooms. We stayed in a room with a balcony. The breakfast was delicious and would recommend. The staff was nice and attentive. FYI that they do not have driver accommodation on site so if you have a driver, they’ll have to stay elsewhere. Prime location. Would stay again.
