Super vriendelijke eigenaren. Ze hebben ons geholpen met de bussen en veel tips gegeven voor activiteiten in de stad

Basic but clean, really good central location, beds hard, rooms have ac, never actually worked out how to get a hot shower and it's the type of shower which soaks the whole bathroom. Main thing I disliked was the atmosphere, the gentleman who owns the hostel sits in the entrance with his family watching TV all the time and constantly asking where you're going when you leave, won't let you sit inside and every time I came in told to go and sit on the roof terrace. Only 4 girls staying so quiet

Perfect place to chill before a silent retreat. The owner let me store my bags here when I arrived before check in and gave me food and activity recommendations. They had the cleanest bathroom I have encountered in my 4 months of traveling Asia. The rooftop was great to take calls and relax at.

Room is clean and the owner provided free AC during those really hot days free of charge, which is really a PLUS. Good location, within 10 mins walk to the bus station. The area is safe to walk back alone at 9pm. Overall, good value of money.

Super Hostel! Wir verbrachten als Zwischenstopp eine Nacht bei dieser total authentischen Unterkunft. Die Familie ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie haben eine Auflistung mit vielen Aktivitäten, Restaurants, etc. die besucht werden können. Das Zimmer war sauber und hatte eine Klimaanlage. Wir würden immer wieder kommen!

Die Unterkunft wird von einer Familie geführt. Sie geben viele Tipps und Ideen dafür, was man in Kandy alles tun kann.

Kein Hostel um sich dort vor Ort aufzuhalten. Recht kleine Zimmer, dennoch ausreichend. Badezimmer und gesamtes Hostel sehr sauber! Um Kandy anzuschauen und nur um dort zu schlafen, reicht es völlig aus.

Friendly family-owned hostel in Kandy. Bathrooms were pristine. Nice balcony to chill or eat and there’s a breeze which was nice in the heat. No aircon unless you pay for it, but there is a fan in the room. Hostel can help you book tours, figure out buses, etc. No laundry service, but there’s a place about 15 minute walk for 400LKR/kg.

Really enjoyed my stay here! Sweet family, super friendly and always happy to help. The place was very clean, and I liked that my room was cleaned every day. The location is perfect too—everything is within walking distance, which made getting around really easy.

The rooms were a bit basic but was very handy to have the little locker for valuables. The bathroom was super clean and big. I enjoyed the rooftop area and would've used it more properly if I had stayed longer. I really appreciated all the information on what to do when I arrived.

We had a very pleasant stay here! Super clean and comfortable and the hosts were just the best. Super helpful and kind. And they had a really really cute cat. The location was absolutely perfect right in the middle of Kandy city but tucked away. Highly recommend if you decide to stay in Kandy.

This is a great hostel ran by a very kind and very welcoming Sri Lankan family. The rooms and bathroom are very clean and modern, the roof top is also a bonus! The family are very kind and gave lots of recommendations for restaurants/how to get around Kandy. The location is also excellent to explore the city.

Loved this hostel! Its kinda within the family home (like many in Sri Lanka), but feels private. The family is lovely, he has many suggestions and recs for food/sights/activities. Bed was so comfy, everything so clean, good wifi. Everyone is passing through so its not super social but people are nice. Would definitely recommend, super close to bus and train stations too. Nice lockers and feels so safe.
