All guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and slippers, certain rooms at Ella Way Resort-Peradeniya also provide guests with a mountain view. All units include a safety deposit box. That was a very nice stay, the hosts were caring and nice. Very recommended to stay. It’s closer to a Dhamma Kuta vipassana center, so for me it was comfortable to stay before meditation

All units at the hostel are equipped with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Cozy Nest Kandy Villa also provide guests with a garden view. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. I really enjoyed staying here! The bed was crazy comfortable and one of the best I had in Sri Lanka so far! It’s really clean and the provided dinner and breakfast was also very yummy and a lot! For me the location was really nice at the one end of the lake but it’s a little walk (15 min) to the city center! But I really enjoyed walking by the lake! Would definitely come back
