Heritage Boutique by Seven Angels

A fantastic hotel located only a few 100m from the Temple. Spacious rooms, and super friendly staff. We would 100% recommend anyone who is looking for an overnight stay in Kandy. Recommend the traditional Sri Lankan breakfast - make sure you book the night before! Shout out to Dananjaya - the friendliest welcome for our first night in Sri Lanka and kindly gifted us some local tea on our departure.

My friends and I recently stayed at Heritage Boutique in Kandy. Our travel agent selected this hotel for us, and we embarked on our stay without any prior research. The location of this hotel is a surprise! Situated right next to the road, the bedroom doors lead out onto an open corridor, offering a unique and somewhat unconventional experience. There is no traditional reception lobby, and the hotel is enclosed by a low white fence with a modest gate. The arrangement of the four bedrooms within the hotel, along with the adjacent restaurant, is thoughtfully planned, preserving the charm of a one-storey white-washed conservation building. The four rooms were named King, Queen, Princess and Prince. Our friends stayed in the King Room, which is spacious with a sitting area. The four-poster bed complemented the room's décor. The bathroom was clean and had a good-size shower. We opted for the Prince Room, which was comfortable despite lacking a dedicated sitting area. However, this room doesn’t have any windows or natural lighting, which may be a problem for long-term stay. Every room has ample furniture and a dressing area with wardrobe and dressing table. The hotel's proximity to the Tooth Relic Temple and the convenience of walking to the city center made exploring Kandy an absolute ease. There were plenty of options for food and shopping nearby. However, being close to the Temple also meant that the temple drums could be heard from early morning. You would need a pair of earplugs for uninterrupted sleep. Dining at the thoughtfully designed Oak Ray restaurant, which is part of the hotel, was a mixed experience. Since our accommodation package included both dinner and breakfast, we found the food selection to be somewhat limited. In retrospect, opting for the full-board package with predetermined meals might not have been the best decision; retaining the freedom to curate our own dishes would have yielded more favorable results. Nevertheless, the meals were decent, complemented by the enthusiastic service of a fervent and spirited young Server (whose name, unfortunately eludes me, much to my regret). Heritage Boutique is a good choice if you're seeking a comfortable stay in an excellent town location. The hotel's layout and thoughtful design, combined with its close proximity to key attractions and the city center, make it a great option for those who value convenience and simple comfort. Just remember to pack your earplugs if you're a light sleeper!
