Beautiful clean, comfortable rooms. Newly finished wonderfully creative & green hotel. Both Western & very delicious SR breakfasts available. Delightful & generous hosts showing us the best things to do from ayurveda massage to the cultural show. A 15 minute walk down the hill to the lake or an easy tutuk ride. Nice little pool to cool off in.. Has filtered water available. Local shops have good 'small bites'.

The accommodation is nice and clean, it is close to the center. It is owned by a family and the host is really kind and helpful. We stayed in Kandy only for 1 night, so we had only breakfast there, but for us it was a good stay. Thank you!

Clean, new and everything works. Close to centre of city, but up and out of the ruckus. To get to town, just walk along the road and down the track on the right hand side of the public garden to a pedestrian crossing where traffic will actually stop - then use the network of underpasses to get around town. The host will help you with your ideas and plans and suggest how best to tackle your intended visits. Good view across town from the balcony and shared area where excellent breakfasts and meals are served. If you are interested in Sri Lankan food then the host will seek out different seasonal vegetables and fruit in the market for meals. There is another short cut to town down via the sports ground but this is not recommended as the local dogs on that path don’t take kindly to strangers. Current tuk tuk fare from town is 300 LKR (March 2024). The PIckMe app for tuk tuks works in Kandy and is used by tuk tuk drivers. Tuk tuk drivers drop you at a narrow path that leads down to two home stays - just follow the signs.

It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
