Hotel generally is nice but not all rooms are with the same standard. These with city view are very cosy and sunny. But these from the mountainside ale dark and dank. No food and restaurant around in the evening and night - we had to go around (over 500m) down the steep road to bar for locals (interesting palace for local food fan).
Despite on the map it’s near the city it’s on the mountainside with steep road to get there from one side and very long travel from another (very switchback). TukTuk drivers don’t want to go with steep road and the other costs much more. So what you save with the room price you pay for transport.
Look for hotel driver organizing trips. You have to set down everything very strictly because you get poor car (should by comfortable), shorter program and had to argue for your money.

Good guesthouse with great staff
The staff, the staff and the staff

You could see as soon as entering the reception and the lounge area that the people who run the guesthouse take great pride in it. The place was close to being immaculate and felt very homely. The room was comfortable and probably the best we stayed in within its sort of price range whilst in Sri Lanka. The location is slightly removed from the centre but this is no bad thing and a 5 minute tuk-tuk ride and you can be at most of the main sites and places to eat/drink.
What elevated the guesthouse for me were the staff. A special mention to Chumaka who helped with anything and everything. While in Kandy we realised that there was a flaw in our intended itinerary of going from Kandy to Nuawara Eliya (to leave our bags) to Hatton (for the connection) to get to Dalhousie to climb Adam's Peak. We enlisted a driver the guesthouse recommended, called Herath, who took us on the intended journey with a few tweaks and then onto Haputale. He also drove us around the surrounding area of Kandy to see some sights the day before. I cannot recommend Herath enough. I was reluctant to take a private driver during our stay but the price was extremely reasonable and the service of Herath outstanding. He helped facilitate two of our best days in Sri Lanka.
So thumbs up to Days Inn and a massive thumbs up to Chumaka and Herath (need a driver, don't think twice - contact the guesthouse),

Awesome Place to Stay with family
Clean, Comfortable & Well Equiped
8
The hotel was a user friendly for family stay has it has a complete set of kitchen, dining, hall and a studio concept stay. The view of the place is awesome overlooking the swimming pool and in the middle of the jungle. It feels good to be there for a relax getaway. All was good but the forest was smelly but it was tolerable. I would definitely go back there again and it was so comfortable and huge space for family stay.

Great Service
We enjoyed the cleanliness of the room, the attentiveness of the staff, and the easy access to downtown Kandy

I would recommend the Days Inn at Kandy to anyone looking for value for the dollar. The Roma are very reasonably priced and compare very well to the rooms in the inner area. we stayed several nights and we were happy in all regards.

If you're backpacking and not too picky, this might be the perfect solution. Perhaps we just got too old and comfortable. The room 5 was very humid, and the sheets were smelly. Also, the shower water was cold. We didn't complain, and after reading reviews, I'm sure the staff would have helped us, so maybe it's our own fault, but yeah, we just didn't enjoy ourselves here at all. Sorry. The staff was very attentive and fixed a great trip to Sigiriya. Keep in mind to spend 200LKR back and forward to the city centre as it is located up the hill with no restaurants nearby.

Relaxing atmosphere and clean!
Quiet environment, friendly service and clean spacious room
7.7
The Days Inn has a welcoming and relaxing environment, the shared areas are comfortable, have pleasant jazz playing in the background and incense to warm your soul. The rooms were spacious and clean. THe beds were comfortable with a nice TV. Kandy town is walkable from the hotel if you are up for a 25 minute pleasant stroll around a nice lake.
The people working at the hotel were very nice and were careful to ensure cleanliness throughout the hotel.
