In which we fall in love with elephants

TravelPod Member ReviewsSwiss Residence Kandy
An old style hotel with good sized, comfortable, air conditioned rooms. The food is good and the staff are very helpful and do their best to please. Wi Fi is available at extra charge. It works but the speed is fairly slow.
