What guests think

Sevana City Hotel draws strong praise for its central, walkable location and friendly service, with many guests highlighting clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and a rooftop pool and restaurant with views, making it solid value for short Kandy stays.

Common drawbacks include some rooms without exterior windows, limited soundproofing leading to street or early-morning noise, and a small rooftop pool. Several guests also reported occasional bathroom or drainage smells, intermittent hot water, and mixed Wi-Fi reliability. Access to the lift starts above street level, so you may need to use stairs. Expect a clean, centrally based, good-value stay.

Facilities

Rooftop pool and the terrace restaurant are appreciated, though the pool is small and space is limited; many enjoy the city views. Guests value filtered water refill stations, and the elevator starts above street level so some stairs are required.

The hotel is in a central location, but at times found it hard to try and park our taxi due to the roads being so busy. The pool was smaller than we anticipated but we’ve got to say the bed was soooooo comfy! The hotel’s central location made it easy to walk into town. The room was ok, but had no windows to the outside, just into the indoor courtyard. The hotel also offers 0 use of plastic so offers water glass jars to be filled up for your room. All in all the hotel was good.

The Sevana doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside is spacious with lots of public seating areas and great views from the rooftop. We stayed here on two separate occasions and both times it was very good. Rooms are comfortable, staff are helpful. There’s a filtered water fountain with reusable glass bottles you can take to your room. The hotel organised a car and driver for us; both the car and the driver were very good, which is not always the case in Sri Lanka. There’s not many good eating options nearby, but we did find a good little restaurant across the road which did excellent dosas. It’s easy to get a tuk tuk to wherever you want to go.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sevana City. All the staff were very friendly and helpful including the restaurant. The food was good and fair prices. The room was clean and bed was comfy. Only comment would be some more space to put toiletries in the bathroom. Free water filter was very helpful. Nice outside area for lounging or dip in pool. Good location for getting to main sights by foot. We ate at ‘mystery meat’ just opposite the hotel which was also good. The hotel kindly organised a guide for a day trip to Sigiriya from why not getaways…Rehan was BRILLIANT and we would recommend him to anyone!!

ホテルの入り口はかなり交通量の多い道に面していますが中に入ると静かです。建物は奥に広く、外からはこれだけ広さがあるようには見えませんでした。お部屋に窓はありませんでしたが、とても広くベッドの寝心地も良かったです。ただ、初日からシャワーのお湯がかなりぬるく、最終日には水しか出なくなりました。次の日早朝出発だったので対応を求めている時間が無かったのですが、身体が冷えてしまい風邪をひいて翌日発熱してしまいました。お湯の供給は是非検討いただきたいです。

The only let down was the drainage smell in the bathroom. WiFi was intermittent. We would stay here again. Staff and the owners were all lovely and friendly. In a good location, within 15 minute walk to the tooth relic temple and kandy lake.

It was an excellent deal for the price. The hotel is almost right in the middle of the city. The room is clean and spacious. View from the room was also nice (I got the city view room with two queen beds.) The staff are very friendly. The TV didn't work (i.e. no channels), but I was also chromecast into it. There was free WiFi, but the speed was not that great. Didn't use the pool or at-facility dinning. If you are driving, you better call the hotel to figure out the parking option. The parking for the hotel is not at the same address as the hotel. We didn't drive.

Genügendes Hotel aber nicht für lange Zeit... Top: - Wasserspender (Gratis) in Lobby - nahe am Zentrum - Gutes eigenes Restaurant (Morgen- und Nachtessen) - kleiner Pool, aber ohne Liegen - freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal Flop: - sehr ringhörig (Strassenlärm & andere Gäste) - keine Nachtvorhänge (sehr früh dunkel) - allgemeine Infrastuktur herunter gekommen --> Fenster im Zimmer 604 lassen sich nicht schliessen. Wichtig: In der unmittelbaren Nähe befindet sich eine Mosche. Der Gesprechsgesang dieser Moschee ertönt um 0450 Uhr über die Aussenlautsprecher. Da das Hotel so Ringhörig ist, erwacht man ziemlich sicher. Wir haben dies mit Ohropax gelöst. Sollte aber im Urlaub auch nicht sein.

Room was good, especially the fact it had working a/c and was spacious. Staff were friendly and clean water was available downstairs to fillup when required, with the restaurant, good location within walking distance to kandy city center, and being on the main road so you could hail tuk-tuks if needed, everything you needed was there. Would stay here again if in Kandy, does not have the Radisson level of opulence but for value for money this is the best place i have stayed at, for a Westerner here to experience culture as opposed to live it up this is perfect
