All guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. The rooms at Carls' Corner are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen.

Popular points of interest near the hostel include Kandy railway station, Bogambara Stadium and Bahirawakanda Vihara Buddha Statue. Victoria Reservoir Kandy Seaplane Base Airport is 24 km from the property. For two days, I felt at home! The owner isn't your typical businessman who's just out to make a profit, but a sweet and warm person who cares about your experience. He cooks excellent traditional Sri Lankan dishes and can give you all the tips you need on the most unmissable places to visit in the city and the country. I would come back here a thousand and one nights. Thank you for everything!
