    Best Stay in Sri Lanka

    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Everything was absolutely perfect! This was the best accommodation in our whole trip in Sri Lanka. It is like a boutique hotel. The room was very nice, , modern, clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed was fantastic. We had to work also from here and the internet was very reliable and fast. The breakfast was the best we ever had in Sri Lanka, every day it was something different, but something traditional and delicious!! The terrace has a fantastic view and the most important part is that the family running the place is so kind and friendly! They always made sure we were very comfortable and had what we needed. It is in a good location as in less than 15 minutes you are in the city center, but it is a quite and residential place. Best stay in Sri Lanka, we cannot reommend it enough!

    The room and bathroom were both very clean and the bed was comfortable. The AC was also working perfectly. The host was super friendly and helped us with everything. He ordered food for us when we arrived in a thunderstorm, helped us with a problem regarding our train tickets and always had a smile on his face. Filtered drinking water was also provided free of charge. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, composed of different local dishes. Also the view from the rooftop is amazing! The hotel is 10-15 min walking distance to the city centre but it’s also super easy to catch a TukTuk anywhere.

    Amazing stay. Rooms were huge, clean and good air conditioning that was quiet which was an absolute blessing. Breakfast was amazing and the host couldn’t have done more to try and assist us, they even had the Australian Footy on tv when we arrived. 15 - 20 minutes walk downhill hill to town and a very steep walk back up which is doable or tuk tuk which are easily accessible. Loved our stay here would definitely recommend

    Everything was excellent

    This property is fairly new to rental. It was one of our favourite stays. The property is situated on the hill overlooking Kandy, and we had a magnificent view out west from our room. The property has been built from scratch to a very high standard of finish. It is stylish but comfortable and, due to high ceilings and thick walls, remains cool, despite the Kandy heat. The AC works well, we had tea-making facilities as well as teabags, and a copy of lonely planet plus brochures in the room. Host Prabath was an excellent communicator, pleasant and attentive, and happy to give advice. He speaks excellent English. The daily Sri Lankan – style breakfasts were varied and delicious. We loved our early morning walks into the centre, but got tuk tuk rides back home as the hill is very steep.

    Some plates on the breakfast might be spicy. But this is the original Sri Lankan breakfast so just be prepared. The hotel is on the hill so for those who don't want to walk up might be a problem. But the tuk tuk is 5 minutes from the city center and railway station.

    Very helpful and friendly owners. They answered to all.our questions and gave us some advice. Nice and clean room with a beautiful view over the city. Also they have a nice rooftop. The breakfast is Sri Lankan style.

    Nothing.

    Our room was on the top floor and the view from the balcony, especially in the evening, is amazing. The bed was comfortable and everything worked well, (air conditioning, wifi, hot water and TV). Our host was very helpful, recommending good restaurants nearby also with views over Kandy. An excellent Sri Lankan breakfast was provided and was different for our two day stay. The property is up a hill but there is a short cut into Kandy which takes 10 minutes. Very good communication with the host who picked us up from the train station as he was in the town, which was very much appreciated.

    Not too much of a trouble but, a few suggestions: having proper signage outside the property/entrance; option of outdoor breakfast (if possible); hooks in the bathroom.

    Nothing at all!

    A beautiful place, recently opened and has been set up to a very high standard. Huge, comfy bed, silky soft sheets, brand new bathroom with the best water pressure I’ve found anywhere in Sri Lanka and also plenty of hot water, free toiletries. Excellent air conditioning. There was a kettle and range of Ceylon teas provided in the room too - perfect for my early morning brew whilst looking out at the sunrise from bed. Also has a big TV with worldwide channels although I didn’t really use it, too busy exploring! The rooftop terrace has stunning views across Kandy, very nice to sit out and watch the sunset here. The host was super welcoming and his wife made the most delicious breakfasts. Went the extra mile when I didn’t find a 3 wheeler to the station in time for my train, and dropped me off in his car! Thank you Pravin and team (& sorry if I’ve spelled your name wrong!) Location was fab, a little up hill out of the busy city centre, so super quiet and yet very easy to travel to all the attractions in the area either on foot or by 3 wheeler. Will definitely stay again next time in the area, great find!

    Everything was perfect! The room was spacious, with an even more oversized balcony overlooking Kandy (the house is located at one of the highest points in the city). Only 20 minutes walking to the city centre. The owner was super helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast was a real taste of Sri Lanka, homemade and delicious!

    Hands down the best guest house during the entire Sri Lanka trip and one of the best in my many years of solo travelling. Room - brand new, large, comfortable bed with very cozy wooden and modern decoration. Good lighting at all hours. WiFi worked perfectly- was having multiple video calls for work. Nice bathroom - plenty of hot water and most importantly has glass shields to separate from toilet. Location - can’t be any better! 3 mins walk to the best view point in Kandy, 10 mins walk to Kandy Lake. The best photos I took in Kandy were all from the terrace, being able to watch beautiful sunrise/sunset and the panoramic view of Kandy everyday. Services - the host family is superb. Homemade and nutritious breakfast every morning that introduces you to local Sri Lanken cuisine. They are extremely knowledgeable of the country in every aspect and give great tips for travelling. While always there to help, they have a lot of privacy to each guest .

    Its a bit uphill for walking up from city center. But that uphill also reward you with a great view from the room and awesome terrace. So we'll worth walking or just take a tuk tuk 200 rupies :)

    This place was truly awesome. I started texting with the manager during my way from Sigiriya and upon arriving I met this friendly, super nice man who offered me a welcome drink and talked with me. The room was super nice, really luxury! Great beds, great AC, great WiFi and shower. Really everything was super! The friendly manager helped me to get to the Kandy train by going up early and served me breakfast at 7, pre booked a tuk tuk to the station. I would highly recommend this place!
