An amazing hotel in Kandy, with brand-new, luxurious facilities. Truly speechless. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the staff was attentive. Breakfast was delicious, with six different options to choose from. The hotel is a little removed from the center of Kandy, so transportation by taxi, tuk-tuk, or private driver is recommended, totally worth it, though!

We had such a lovely time here. The room is spacious, clean and the bed is super comfortable. We did the cooking class and it was a blast, the lady is so fun :) The owner of the house and his family are so nice. Would definitely recommend a stay here, outside of the chaos of the city.

The cooking lesson with the host family was an amazing experience. It was so homey, warm, and absolutely authentic. We felt very welcomed and cared for (food obviously tasted out of this world, but the experience itself was unmatched). The house and surroundings - just wow. Beautifully arranged, the terrace has the most breathtaking view of rice fields, palm trees and houses emerged into the scenery. Morning sounds of birds with morning coffee was the best way to wake up you could imagine. The house itself is beautiful and very stylish. It was honestly one of the best home stays/hotels we’ve ever been to, it was extremely sad to leave, but surely a place to come back to.

Of all the locations in Kandy, this hotel is fantastic. A tiny walk from the entrance to the Temple of the Tooth makes it ideal for a tourist stay. Very affordable. Rooms are small. Kind Sri Lankan service as was experienced throughout the whole country.

I wanted to let you know that a very tasteful entrance which led down to the room we had booked. I would like to add this was the last room they had which was a budget room with twin beds. The room was spotless, breakfast was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Wonderful gardens in a quiet location
