Featuring views of the pool, all units in the property come with private entrance and a pool with a view. A terrace with an outdoor dining area and mountain views is offered in each unit. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. Beautifully restored villa with three lovely guest rooms. The owner has used his artistic skills to make this one of the most enchanting boutique property anywhere. The breakfasts were delicious and the location is a short tuk tuk ride to the lake, downtown and nearby restaurants. Even comes with a small pool to cool off in on those hot days. Highly recommended!

Situated in Kandy with Kandy railway station nearby, Smile Hub Kandy -Youth Hostel- features accommodation with free private parking. The property has mountain and city views, and is 2.6 km from Bogambara Stadium. Kandy City Center Shopping Mall is 2.8 km from the guest house and Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens is 3.7 km away. This felt like the perfect place to rest in busy Kandy. Even though it’s slightly far from the center, it’s super easy (and cheap) to access by bus or tuktuk. The room was super comfortable, good shower (above average), free laundry (amazing) and a kitchen very well equipped, with some books available as well. Yama is very nice and helpful! Really recommend this place

Located in Kandy, 3.3 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall, Kandy Lotus Chalet provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 3.6 km from Bogambara Stadium, the inn with free WiFi is also 3.9 km away from Kandy railway station. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests. I was very happy with my decision to stay here instead of a hotel in the city center. I could enjoy clean air and a peaceful atomosphere. The room was clean and spacious with a great view of trees and sound of birds. The staff were warm and very kind and they were always ready to help and support me. As a female solo traveler, I really appreciated their support. The owner gave me useful information about places to visit and was always happy to answer my questions. The communication was very smooth and he replied very quickly through Whatsapp and I really appreciated it. It was a home-stay like experience and I really enjoyed my stay.

Guests at the guest house can enjoy a Full English/Irish breakfast, and breakfast in the room is also available. At the property, there is an on-site traditional restaurant serving dinner and a selection of vegetarian options. What's not to like? This place is a perfect oasis! We arrived in Kandy after a long drive from Dambulla (3 hours). We were greeted with a welcome juice and told that our room was upgraded. Wow! We were given the most beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the countryside and the river. It was breathtaking. We settled in and enjoyed the infinity pool, and had dinner. They offer a fabulous dinner meal (Western or Sri Lankan). We stayed two nights and could have stayed longer. If you need to go into town, they will call transport for you since the hotel is on top of a windy hill overlooking the valley. We had the staff organize a day trip for us to the tea plantation and the Kandy Spice Walk. Highly recommend both. This is the place to stay while in Kandy - will not disappoint.
