We Really enjoyed the beautiful Villa with a lot of Green, a Nice Pool and beautiful, spacious very clean rooms. We had a room on the First floor with a wonderful view in the courtyard. There are a lot of plants that ensure privacy on the balcony. It is the Perfect Location to stay in Kandy. The City Center is in walking distance, but you can also take a Tuk Tuk if you prefer This. The couple who Runs the accommodation is very kind and helps you with everything. I forgot something in the room and they helped me a lot to get it back. Thank you for having us!

The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed. There was hot water and the wifi worked well. Breakfast was delicious and there were so many options which you could choose from. Location is great, really quiet and pretty but only 15 mins away from the city and tuktuks are very cheap. Sri was so welcoming and willing to help us with anything that we needed. Would very much recommend!

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
