Kandy
Situated in Kandy and with Kandy City Center Shopping Mall reachable within 1.5 km, Eden Kandy features a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is around 4.3 km from Kandy Museum, 4.3 km from Sri Dalada Maligawa and 5.8 km from Ceylon Tea Museum. Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens is 6.8 km away and Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is 15 km from the hostel. My stay at Eden Kandy Guest House was honestly unforgettable. The place is spotless and thoughtfully designed, with a beautiful garden, a shared kitchen, and cozy little spaces for reading or relaxing. Books are everywhere, free tea and coffee are always available, and the whole space feels warm and welcoming — more like staying in someone’s home than at a guesthouse. The real highlight, though, is Udaya. He’s one of those rare hosts who genuinely cares. From small details to big arrangements, he always made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Even after I left Kandy, he helped me organize a fantastic driver for my onward trip and kept in touch to make sure all was going smoothly — such a thoughtful gesture. The location is great too: peaceful and quiet, but still an easy walk into the city and close to all the main sights. I left feeling not just rested but uplifted by the kindness and positivity here. And considering everything that’s included, the value is incredible. If you’re heading to Kandy, I can’t recommend Eden Kandy enough — it’s the kind of place you’ll remember long after you’ve left.

They have their own secret base hahahaha! Communicate with them more and let them take you to play. But my time is too tight. It’s a pity that I can’t stay a few more days.

This charming hostel is run by the kindest couple you can imagine. The mother prepares delicious meals in her cozy restaurant, and the father took us on one of the most beautiful tours we’ve ever done – full of stunning views and authentic local experiences. Everything here is filled with heart and soul. Their warmth and genuine hospitality turned our stay into something truly special. It’s rare to find such a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place with personality, comfort, and unforgettable people – this is it. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!

Simply in the middle of the jungle, with a super nice garden, a room in the house of that family was huge and super confortable. Really much better in real than in the pictures. I just stayed one night, but I think it would be better to stay more nights in the middle of the jungle and that luxurious acommodation. I was really positive dissapointment as for the price (I am backpack) i didn't expect too much and I was like in a 5 stars hotel

Kani is extremely friendly and kind. He did so many things for me!! I also admire his way of thinking—he truly values encounters and connections with people. You can see it not only in his words, but also in his actions. Thank you for the precious experience in Sigiriya!! Highly recommended!!! Some people may think it’s a bit far from Sigiriya Rock, but actually the entrance is on the west side, and I believe this is one of the few places within walking distance around there.

The best hostel I‘ve been so far. Jonti and Hoppsi are great hosts, always making sure everyone is fine. It is a wonderful and very calm place to be and relax. I can highly recommend it!
great value for money with its cheap rates. Its location very close to town makes it convenient for exploring. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly. Highly recommended for budget travelers.
Cheap hostel, and you get what you pay for, which is obviously fine if you're on a budget! The beds are quite large and each has a strong fan, which is great for the heat. I found the beds very comfortable, vut some people might find the matress too hard/thin. Host is very nice and helpful. Bicycles are available for rent to visit the ancient city. Large lockers available too.
It was the best hostel i’ve ever stayed. Everyone in hostel was super accomodating and helpful. Hostel was so cozy and peaceful that i could take a rest well, let alone super cheap price😜
Quite contradictory impression overall. Cant say Ll iss good or it is bad experience. We could change room to more spacious and with access to fresh air on the second day. Location quite centered Wardrobe and mirrors Good internet, one of the best we had across other hotels Polite host Worth money it cost i think so really cheap/simple. Do not expect some luxury for this budget which is normal. Reminds more hostel quality than hotel. Location was shared via google map and advise where to get off the bus to save time. This was cool
I have no hesitation in saying this - it is the best hostel to stay if you’re in Kandy! Very social, aforable doggos, value for money, lovely hosts and great location. I would go back again and again!
