This hotel offers much more than just having a place to sleep in for a night. We had a great time with the hotel staff. They prepare traditional food for dinner in front of you while talking lot of interesting information about the national traditions or a cuisine. We did not feel like strangers while being there. I honestly don’t think any 5* hotel can provide such a lovely experience. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, who travels not only just to take pictures on some famous spots, but who loves to get to know different cultures and meet nice people.

I had an amazing stay at Funk Bunks – Mount View Lodge. The location is a bit outside of the city center, but that adds to the charm. It's quiet, scenic, and a perfect escape. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and hot water was available in the showers. The hospitality from the owner and staff was beyond expectations – very friendly and always willing to help. There's also a small on-site restaurant with great food at affordable prices. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kandy, especially solo travelers. Would definitely return!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Very clean & nice accommodation in a good location close to the railway station :) As a female solo-traveller I felt super safe. The hostel has a cute rooftop & the bathroom is amazing. The owners are super nice & friendly, help where they can & even took care of my staff whilst I was travelling the country. Definitely recommend it!
