Elegant lodge with an incredible view of Kandy Lake. Perfect location, close to all major attractions. The staff is kind, always helpful, and ready to assist. Good breakfast and included transport to the station, plus a complimentary bottle of water for the journey. Highly recommended!

An incredible view and a staff to match! The hotel may seem a bit austere at first, with a few small shortcomings (for example, a reading lamp by each bed would be nice), but nothing essential. The staff and service are excellent, and the manager is very involved — he asks for feedback every day and genuinely cares about guests’ comfort. Although the hotel is a little farther from the city, the distance is more than compensated by the stunning view, fresh air, and peaceful atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend Madu’s cooking! He’s an excellent chef — the beef is delicious (even if it’s not Argentinian), and the soup, his specialty, is outstanding. I doubt I’ll ever return to Kandy, but if I do, this is definitely where I’ll stay again.

The accommodation is still new, very clean and looks exactly like the photos. It has a nice terrace with sun loungers overlooking the garden, in the dining area you have a view of green palm trees - you completely forget that you are in the busy city of Kandy. It is an oasis of peace. We had a double room, but I also saw a part designated as a hostel, everything new and very nice. Wifi worked great, breakfast was good. The operator can arrange a lot of interesting activities for you, including various hiking tours. He also called Pick Me for us when we left, because we did not have our own app. I recommend

The staff were amazingly Helpful, friendly and very welcoming. The included breakfast was very nice and nothing was too much trouble. 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.

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.
