Eden Kandy is more than just a place – it's home, where you can feel truly comfortable. The vibes are amazingly positive and spiritual.

It was clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and cold. There were a lot of other social people in the hostel and the host even put all the tables together to have a nice dinner with everyone. Breakfast and dinner is included. Would definitely recommend!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
