We were walking around the Arthurs Seat looking for a place that had a beer with a view. We stumbled across Blinkbonnie and it was exactly what we were looking for. Great food with good prices, cold beer and the best view in Kandy from the balcony!

Kandy’s best kept secret

Magnificent views of the Kandy skyline, although we stayed for only one night at the Blinkbonnie Inn, the owner and his family welcomed us warmly, we were treated to a delicious home cooked meal of noodles, dhal and mouth watering mango curry. Our room was comfortable and a/c gave us a good nights sleep. We had no difficulty in travelling via car from Sigiriya, and although fuel prices have increased the Sri Lankan people continue to try and live their lives, as normal please don’t be put off by political unrest, the protests were peaceful in Colombo and we haven’t experience any unrest since. This beautiful country needs our tourism to survive after the economic challenges over the last few years.

Magnificent views of the Kandy Skyline

My husband and I had a great two-night stay here. The owner was incredibly welcoming, and provided us with helpful advice; he did not try to encourage us to hire guides and drivers that we didn't need, and made recommendations that allowed us to maximize our time in Kandy. The hotel has a nice view of Kandy and the lake, but is a bit of a walk from the heart of town. Our room was extremely comfortable and well-furnished, and was immaculate. Breakfast here was very generous and tasty. WiFi was strong.

We would absolutely stay again, and even recommended it to other travelers headed to Kandy.

Comfortable in Kandy

We were booked into Blinkbonnie for 2 nights through a tour company we were using. It has an elevated position with commanding views over Kandy. The room allocated to us had a balcony with this great view. The bedroom was spacious and well equipped with fan, efficient a/c and also a fridge. There was an en-suite shower / wc which was all clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable. We were half-board and we found breakfast and dinner excellent. Steve and family made good Sri Lankan curries, with other options as well. Would definitely recommend. Amazing value.

Little gem overlooking Kandy

This lovely place is very cozy, comfy and clean. Our room #7 was very spacious, super clean with good towels, air conditioning, a big bathroom, a cute balcony with a good view and to top it all an oil burner. Breakfast which is included was great, I had scramble eggs and my friend asked the hotel manager to help her blend an avocado smoothie which he prepared it all and it was delicious!!! Loved this place. 

Cozy, Comfy and Clean 

This is a diamond in terms of accommodation in a bustling city like Kandy.

My friend and I were getting weary of travels and we were so surprised at the great hospitality and value provided in Blinkbonnie. 

The owner is very friendly and kind, he even made a couple of on request orders for the best avocado smoothie I think we have ever tasted. The breakfast was plentiful and promptly served. 

Key points to observe in our stay:
- Clean and fresh linen was provided
- Bathroom and room was presented beautifully with contemporary mixed with quaint homely furnishings
- a/c worked a treat
- oil burner was provided for us to use our own essential oils
- private balcony afforded us a beautiful view of the full moon and sun

The energy of this place is so nice, I would stay here to visit Kandy as a long term accommodation. Highly recommend it as it was the best stay I'd had since arriving in Sri Lanka and spending nights in Hikkaduwa and Ella.

Well done Blinkbonnie, please keep up the good work. 



Homely place with the best view of Kandy from the hill

When we pulled up we were a little worried as the entrance to the hotel was a door in the floor! They are renovating the place and building a top floor so at a glance from the outside, it was a building site! However the inside is fabulous. Cosy, clean and secure room with a balcony view of hills and Kandy lake. Lovely food in the restaurant, very helpful staff. Also very near to other restaurants and walkable to Kandy lake and the city centre.

Great balcony view

Upstairs and downstairs rooms nice. Good views onto the hills and a bit of the lake from the downstairs room “access - verandah”. Restaurant basic but good quality vegetarian food. 
Manager and staff live on premises which was helpful during the bombing crisis curfew. 

Nice rooms with Italian flair

The owner is friendly. Nice room with balcony, fan and refrigerator. It is mostly clean, but it has dusty carpet.The bed and pillows are comfortable. The wifi is pretty good. There is a nice view from the balcony.

Nice place

The inn is a 20 minute walk up out of Kandy which is ideal as the streets seem constantly gridlocked with traffic so its good to be out of the noise and bustle, and we have a great view from our balcony. We walked down into Kandy several times, but got a tuk-tuk back! Meals were fine, although we only had dinner there once.
