The stuff (specially Udaya) , was always willing to help. Really kind people. The garden is amazing. Comfy beds. Nice terrace to meditate and contemplate de view. I would have stay longer if I hadnt had to go to Clmbo extend my visa. In my experience , the best accomodation in Sri Lanka so far. =)

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely perfect. It felt very luxurious and had everything we needed. The breakfast was amazing, and the staff were incredibly helpful and professional. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, and extremely comfortable. We especially loved the balcony and the mezzanine level in the room, such a nice touch!

Hemaka and the team at Liselma Residence could not have been more hospitable and helpful. This is truly was one of the most memorable and relaxing places I've ever stayed in. Perched on a hillside with commanding views across Kandy. Floor to ceiling windows filled our enormous room with natural light. Perhaps the largest and most comfortable bed I've slept in. The white walls, wooden floors and spaciousness all contribute to an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility. We felt special here. Thank you so much to Hemaka , Opisala and team. I could not recommend Liselma residence highly enough.

The view from the hotel is amazing. It's very nice to relax at the pool or the balcony of your room. The rooms itself are also great, they are spacious and look nice. The staff is very helpful and available all the time. It's a nice place to be away from the crowded city center and with a tuktuk you easily visit the center. When you walk for 15-20 minutes downhill you will find a supermarket, bakery and other different stores.

First of all we liked the amazing view, doesnt matter if you are on the balcony, look out of the windows of your room or from the 360 Grad view roof top terrace, you will have a amazing view everywhere. You can see the mountains, the city, diffrent temples and the beautiful nature. Second thing we liked very much, was the food, for fair prices. So we had a high quality dinner and large portions on the roof top, cocked by the host. We liked it so much, so my girlfriend tooked a cocking lesson the next day by the host. She enjoyed it a lot. Specially the host is very friendly, makes you feeling like you are at home and helped us with everything we needed. He is happy if his guest are happy. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. If we come back to Kandy one day, theres no question where we will stay. Thank you a lot. Greetings Björn & Katjana

Fantastic place to stay in Kandy - the view on the city was amazing and the city center, as well as the Tooth Temple, was quite close to the structure. The room was spacious, beds were comfortable and there was also a fan to cool down the room's temperature. Breakfast was great! Hosts were very friendly and helpful, they also managed to help us changing the check-in / check-out times.

Great breakfast, fabulous and very spacious room. Very clean and nice bathroom. Very comfortable beds. The location of the hotel is conveniently located close to the city centre as well as train station. It's close to the main road but not directly next to it which makes it quiet place to rest aftr whole day of sightseeing. The owner was kind to explain everything and provide a brief tour about what to see and do in Kandy. This is a professional hotel unit but a family business as well and they do care to make you comfortable.

Best location i have stayed yet in Sri Lanka. This pearl has everything you need. The bed is great, the shower is gorgeous and the personel is the best i’ve seen yet. They will help you with literally anything you need and wil accomodate it for you. If something on the menu is not like your taste, they can change it to your own liking. They have a beautiful big tent on the outside of the hotel, which has a bathtub, AC and literally everything you need. There are no downsides i could mention. Like i have said….

The hotel management provides excellent service, attending to every need with professionalism and warmth.Given its prime location and top-notch amenities, it's undoubtedly the best value for money. If you're looking for a place to stay, this hotel should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

Great location in peaceful surroundings. Located in the mountains, it’s far enough away from the city centre but close enough to walk to. 10 min walk to Kandy lake and 20-30 min walk into town. The occasional elephant can be seen walking past the hotel which was a highlight for me. Under new management, the owner and his team went out of their way to accommodate every request and made my stay feel like my home away from home.
