“Hotel Suisse Kandy, with its colonial architecture and gardens, presents a unique option near Kandy Lake and the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic; I appreciate the historical significance, but note reports of unexpected closures and potential discrepancies in accommodations. For those valuing heritage and location, this could still be suitable, though confirmation directly with the hotel is advisable. The family-friendly suites and diverse dining are definite assets.”
