Coffee Bungalow Kandy

Beautiful colonial property, from the rooms to the décor, that transports you back in time. It is very clean, cozy and feels like home. The property rests on top of a hill that over overlooks Kandy and the view is stunning (especially from the infinity pool). Further, the attention to detail, hospitality and professionalism of the owner and staff made this stay even more delightful. Highly recommended to anyone traveling to Kandy looking for an unforgettable experience.

A gem of a place - everything was delightful, from the room, to the lovely infinity pool, the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to help, and the excellent food. We loved staying here.

Outstanding service, made us feel very comfortable and at home. The owner and host was very gracious. Views from the property are worth a million. Highly recommend staying at Coffee Bungalow. It is a bit pricy but well worth it.

Our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers stayed at the Coffee Bungalow for 3 nights in late Dec ‘23. The Bungalow is nestled in the Kandy Hills with stunning views of the Knuckles Mountain Range, Kandy town, lake, and beyond. It sits above the hustle and bustle of the streets beneath in a serene spot with manicured gardens and a beautiful infinity pool. The rooms are opulently decorated, and also have sweeping views across the valley. We dined on the terrace each morning and evening and were also treated to a “High Coffee” experience on the pool deck one afternoon which included a variety of cakes and treats as well as coffee and tea. Staff are friendly and discreet so that you feel like you are in a home rather than a hotel. Highly recommend this place.

We had the most amazing Christmas during our stay at the Coffee Bungalow. We were treated like family and the service was excellent. All our meals were delicious and prepared to suit our tastes. The location is perfect for visiting Kandy and beyond.

What a welcome! The hotel is tucked away in the hills above Kandy, although within easy reach of the city. It offers spectacular views of the city, jungle and the Knuckles Mountain Range. Head just past Helga's Folly and it will be the first property on your right. Go down the stairs on arrival and you'll be greeted by the friendliest staff with cold towels and a cooling drink. We were staying in the lake view junior suite located on the top floor with wonderful views of Kandy below. The room is huge with a tall vaulted ceiling and a four poster canopy bed. The bathroom is one of the largest we've seen in Sri Lanka. Each room has a roll top bath and walk in shower. They also provide a coffee body scrub but no individual shampoo/body wash etc. There is a good hairdryer provided and a laptop sized safe. They had UK plugs, a fan in place of AC which works well and you don't really need AC here. The infinity pool here is lovely and refreshing but not too cold, even on a cooler day in December. There are comfortable loungers and pool towels provided. Breakfast was superb. We enjoyed fruits, toast (the first actual toast on our trip, mostly it's warm bread), hoppers and a Sri Lankan omelette. On our departure day we had an early start to catch the train and they kindly made us up a breakfast bag with fruits and sandwiches. We also enjoyed a traditional Sri Lankan dinner in the evening which was delicious. The property has a lovely verandah and so no matter what the weather you can enjoy a meal outdoors overlooking the city lights. The staff are just wonderful and cater to every need. Everything is just perfect here from the cleaning (everything sparkles) to the placing of cutlery. One day we were relaxing and we were offered cinnamon tea and cucumber sandwiches which was lovely as we'd not had lunch as we'd been travelling. Thank you to Adrian, the chef Dinusha, Sameer and the gardener/security guy whose name we didn't get but was lovely. The genial proprietor himself spoke to us at length, and went out of his way to make us feel like part of the family. I couldn't think of a better place to stay in Kandy. Close enough to town but far enough away to enjoy the tranquility and views.

Had the most wonderful dinner at Coffee Bungalow Kandy to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. The team were so accommodating of lots of different requests and went out of their way to make it a very special evening - the food was delicious, the setting spectacular (stunning views over Kandy) and the service impeccable. We ate outside but were shown inside the house, which is beautiful. It would be great to stay next time we are in Kandy. Coffee Bungalow Kandy comes highly recommended!

We loved staying at the Coffee Bungalow, it really was a home from home. We loved the views and the pool deck area. The staff were brilliant and so attentive and the meals simply superb. The tomato curry and coloured breakfast hoppers were a real treat. Easy walk into Kandy (20 mins+) and then 5 mins back in a rickshaw. Great location.
