Clove Garden Kandy

What guests loved the most

“Fabulous property and grounds and lovely helpful staff. Lovely simple but spotlessly clean room. Beautiful main house, spice and fruit gardens and pool. Welcomed with home made cake and fresh coffee, lovely sri lankan food for dinner and we mentioned we hadn't tried String Hoppers for breakfast and the next day they made them specially for us! Very knowledgeable about Kandy and gave us lots of tips. we would absolutely recommend Clove Garden and the other properties.”

“A very nice hotel tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy. Lovely peaceful gardens and pool. Very friendly and helpful staff. We ate at the hotel both evenings and they went out of their way to accommodate the children's dietary requests ! Excellent food.”

“Amazing breakfasts and dinners plus wonderful staff and swimming Pool”

“The staff is very friendly and make you feel at home. We are a family of four and shared a family room which was very large and clean. The location is nice and quiet. We had dinner twice. The food on the first night was good and more than enough for us four, unfortunately on the second night they served us a byriani which was basically boiled rice with hardly any vegetables and charged us extra for some fish which we could not finish because of its taste. On the whole a pleasant stay anyway.”

“Great location, worth the 5-10 min ride from the city centre for relaxing in a beautiful garden. The staff is really nice and ready to fulfil your every wish and the manager will gladly help you planning your stay in Kandy at its best.”

“Located outside of the town and away from the hussle and bussle. 300LKR tuk tuk into town. Hotel will arrange this for you. It was pretty straightforward. Warm welcome with cake on arrival. Pool is shared with their other more premium property over the driveway. And it located at that property not this one. Nice pool area but we did have to ask them to clean it for us so we were only able to use it the afternoon of our second day. They seemed reluctant to let us use the pool at first but were then were helpful.”

“The gardens were really lovely, with a good pool, and it was nice to be up in the hills. The breakfast and dinner were fantastic!”

“Beautiful location, very quiet and relaxing. Wonderful welcome drink and piece of cake. Nice staff. Room was basic, for more facilities, book Sweet Cinnamon, which is the adjacent property. Sri Lankan breakfast was better than the waffles/pancake option. Tuk tuk ride to Kandy town cost LKR300 one way.”

“We were met on arrival and given warm homemade carrot cake and tea - it was delicious and very welcome. The Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a guided tour of the gardens on arrival and shown the various edibles they grow, which was really interesting. The room was basic but very clean with flowers on the bed and working AC. The food was lovely with lots of it! Breakfasts were a real highlight too. Nothing is too much trouble for the Staff here. The Pool was a good size and very clean (just a short walk through the garden from the hotel). The location of the hotel is perfect, and only a 10 min drive into Kandy. The hotel will happily arrange a driver for you (cost was the same as a tuk tuk).”

“Set in a lovely garden not too far from the Kandy hustle and bustle. Very friendly staff.”
