24 Mar 2026
Great location, free breakfast and dinner, with cooking class included, and a swimming pool to cool off in. Best place in Kandy!
Suzanne “Friendly, clean, excellent value & great dinners!”
24 Mar 2026
Friendly, very kind and helpful staff are the highlight of this lovely hostel. Included breakfast (fried egg, 2 toast, coffee/tea) and family style dinner (typical Sri Lankan veggie curries, rice etc to serve yourself) ensure you meet your fellow guests which is great. Female dorm was clean and comfortable, and the 2 shared bathrooms on the same floor were enough for the guests staying there. Electric showers meant hot/warm water which is a nice change for Sri Lanka. 2 of the dorms have access to a shared balcony which is good for drying swimwear etc - important as this hostel has a small pool!
