You must stay here during your time in Kandy! The location is great, the rooms are super clean & comfortable, the manager goes above & beyond to make your time in Sri Lanka as smooth as possible. There is a really nice garden that catches good sunlight - despite being in a main city, this hostel makes you feel like your in nature.

We had such an amazing stay here in Kandy. The mother and daughter than run this place are amazing. Really kind, providing an amazing breakfast and they have put so much love in the decoration of this place. If you have the time really book the cooking course given by the daughter, the food we got to make and eat was amazing. Definitely recommend going here!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
