Boasting a garden and free WiFi, Catch The Ella Train Hostel is situated in Kandy, 1.8 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 6.7 km from Kandy railway station. The property is around 7.4 km from Bogambara Stadium, 7.5 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall and 8.6 km from Sri Dalada Maligawa. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. My stay here was simply great. I mean, truth be told, the place isnt anything super special and it doesnt host a lot of people. However. The owner is an amazing human being. Takes care of you from the very start, to the very finish. Has great stories and is just all around amazing. So if you are looking for a place to stay the night before you want to get to Ella by train, and dont really care for being in the centre with alot of people, this is definitely the place for you.

Situated in Kandy, less than 1 km from Kandy Museum, Kurumbunkz features accommodation with a terrace, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. The property is set 3.6 km from Bogambara Stadium, 3.9 km from Kandy railway station and 7.6 km from Ceylon Tea Museum. The air-conditioned rooms provide a mountain view and come with a wardrobe and free WiFi.

At the hostel, the rooms have a balcony. All rooms at Kurumbunkz are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. Their rooftop restaurant was awesome! Had their breakfast burrito twice and think it was one of the tastier things I had in Kandy. They're more of an upscale hostel, so the rooms are clean and well-designed. A little pricier, but certainly worth it if you're wanting a slightly more comfortable dorm experience! Location is good, about a 15 minute walk into the town alongside the lake and about 5 minutes from one of the performance centers for the Kandy traditional fire-dance experiences.
