The rooms were perfectly adequate for what we needed and the main lounge area was very nice hang out area. Good size room, comfy bed, great air con, bathroom had all facilities as required and everything was very clean and tidy. Great location for the city and lake etc. Would highly recommend staying for a low budget stay.

    Ideal location just a short walk along the lake to the city. Photos on website do not do it justice. Room was large, spotless, comfortable and with a balcony view directly over the lake. Breakfast was great with lovely service from Sunil and his team.

    Of all the locations in Kandy, this hotel is fantastic. A tiny walk from the entrance to the Temple of the Tooth makes it ideal for a tourist stay. Very affordable. Rooms are small. Kind Sri Lankan service as was experienced throughout the whole country.

    I wanted to let you know that a very tasteful entrance which led down to the room we had booked. I would like to add this was the last room they had which was a budget room with twin beds. The room was spotless, breakfast was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Wonderful gardens in a quiet location

    The property is located in an ideal location with a beautiful greeny surrounding. It's a few minutes walking distance to the temple of tooth, the kandy lake, restaurants, shops and ect. Property has decent level facilities, it's very clean & comfortable with big rooms & common areas. There is a balcony with a mountain view where you can sit and relax, Staff is very kind & helpful to everyone. I do not hesitate to recommend this hostel to anyone and I wish to come back agian.
