It was awfully packed over the full moon weekend (would not recommend visiting during this period)! This pavilion-like structure at the front Paththirippuwa, or Octagon. It is a symbol of identity in Kandyan Architecture. In the olden days, the king would stand there to address his citizens who were gathered in front of him. The golden roof behind stands over the Buddha tooth relic that this temple is famous for. Footwear is not permitted inside, so you should either carry a bag where you can keep your shoes, or leave your shoes out on the grass like everyone else! #srilanka #kandy #wanderlust #explore #adventure #travel #igtravel #instatravel #vacation #travelgram #trip #travelandleisure #asia #throwback #tourist #temple #religion #beautiful #traveltips #nofilter #picoftheday #architecture #buddhist #sridaladamaligawa](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/178045/29d3f8bd-f3e4-45ca-be0d-7b626f66c8fe.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Temple of the Tooth 15 min walk \- 1.3 km - Udawatta Kele Sanctuary 8 min walk \- 0.7 km - Wales Park 15 min walk \- 1.3 km - Royal Palace of Kandy 17 min walk \- 1.4 km ### Getting around - Kandy Railway Station 12 min drive - Bandaranaike Intl.

First the room smelled of moth ball. No basic amenities as mentioned on the booking such as, no hand towel, dirty bath mat, no kettle and cups, dirty floor with hair, TV remote had no batteries, no hot water and faulty wifi and the bathtub was damaged and wrapped in plaster. Then a cockroach appeared during the evening. And I had to ask for an insect spray. The breakfast wasn't good either. They had prepared individual fruit platters ahead of time and saw flies hovering over it. Also I asked for coffee and I got tea and the toast was cold and rubbery. ##### Edwin Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 21, 2017 Liked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sea View Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nilaveli-Hotels-Sea-View-Beach-Hotel.h23684640.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunstar](https://www.expedia.ca/Nilaveli-Hotels-Sunstar.h26724732.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weerawila-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Weerawila-Rajawarna-Resort.h23701470.Hotel-Information) > > [Rangiri Dambulla Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dambulla-Hotels-Rangiri-Dambulla-Resort.h14737637.Hotel-Information) > > [Angam Villas Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Sri-Jayawardenepura-Kotte-Hotels-Angam-Villa-Colombo.h99516887.Hotel-Information) > > [Explorer by Eco Team - Wasgamuwa National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Maraka-Hotels-Explorer-By-Eco-Team-Wasgamuwa-National-Park.h18285934.Hotel-Information) > > [Goatfell](https://www.expedia.ca/Walapane-Hotels-Goatfell.h48392469.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Thalaramba-Hotels-Beach-House.h12374683.Hotel-Information) > > [Big Game - Wilpattu by Eco Team](https://www.expedia.ca/Pahala-Maragahawewa-Hotels-Big-Game-Wilpattu-By-Eco-Team.h11718319.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Diamond Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Trincomalee-Hotels-Blue-Diamond-Resort.h102374878.Hotel-Information) > > [Panorama Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Beruwala-Hotels-Beruwala-Panorama-Hotel.h20581040.Hotel-Information) > > [Mawella Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tangalle-Hotels-Mawella-Beach-Resort.h45673435.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mango](https://www.expedia.ca/Kandy-Hotels-The-Mango.h21618668.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vacanza](https://www.expedia.ca/Mirissa-Hotels-Hotel-Vacanza.h15860908.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) > > [Talalla BnB](https://www.expedia.ca/Matara-Hotels-Talalla-BnB.h31100741.Hotel-Information) > > [Fresco Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sigiriya-Hotels-Fresco-Water-Villa.h11463091.Hotel-Information) > > [Yala Safari Camping](https://www.expedia.ca/Kataragama-Hotels-Yala-Safari-Camping.h11568511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isana Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Morakatiyara-Hotels-Isana-Beach-House.h15616300.Hotel-Information) > > [Allan Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Mirissa-Hotels-Allan-Guest-House.h22559547.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Wave Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Beach-Wave-Hotel.h18243801.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Silan Mo](https://www.expedia.ca/Mirissa-Hotels-Hotel-Silan-Mo.h12375145.Hotel-Information) > > [Sinharaja Forest Gate](https://www.expedia.ca/SINHARAJA-FOREST-GATE.h27731206.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Pavilion](https://www.expedia.ca/Kandy-Hotels-Kings-Pavilion.h17951711.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Surf & Safari, A Luxury Reserve](https://www.expedia.ca/Pottuvil-Hotels-Jetwing-Surf.h19959056.Hotel-Information) > > [Sinharaja Forest Sanctuary Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/KL-Sinharaja.h17894705.Hotel-Information) > > [Eva Lanka Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Morakatiyara-Hotels-Eva-Lanka-Hotel.h10347973.Hotel-Information) > > [Oruthota Chalets](https://www.expedia.ca/Oruthota-Chalets.h9848684.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.ca/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information)
