All rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Cozy Nest Lodge also provide guests with a mountain view. All units include a safety deposit box. One of my favorite stays at a hostel. I loved the hospitality. Banda, the staff, has one of the best hospitality I've experienced. They are very accommodating, friendly, and puts a lot of heart into making our stay an enjoyable one. Loved there's breakfast and dinner and it's easy to meet other travelers. Space is really clean and comfortable too. Was able to arrange for Sigiriya and Knuckles Mountain tour here.

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.
