Exceptional Sri Lankan breakfast (they also offer a more western style option, if that’s your thing) that changed each day, large room with ample hanging space and a comfortable bed, located in a quiet part of town away from the noisy main road. The hosts are warm and welcoming, a very pleasant and good value place to stay in Kandy. We were also able to leave our bags overnight whilst we did an overnight trek.

“Clean, spacious room, great location and a warm host who whips a full breakfast.”
We had a brief stay at Kandy but had access to a very clean room, accessible location and a warm host who was very helpful with their recommendations and making us feel comfortable. The morning breakfast was hearty, our preferences were checked for and our room patio overlooked a beautiful garden - you could pass a long time chilling there and not know as the time passes. Would recommend 10/10.

“Great stay for the price!”
The host was lovely and gave lots of great information about Kandy. Quiet location away from the city and only 220rs for a tuk tuk to the centre.

“Had a great stay.”
The host is super friendly and we had a nice chat with him during breakfast. He explained what he wanted to achieve with the homestay and that went very well for us. He wanted his guest to have a nice place where they can rest well. It is close to the city center - only a 3 minute tuk tuk drive. Location is quit so you can have a good sleep. Comfortable bed.

“Best stay in Kandy”
We had the best 5 night stay at Anniewatte house. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The host family were very welcoming, accomodating and very helpful! They helped us organise a scooter and looked after our bags while we spent nights in Sigiriya, also offered to drop us at the train station early in the morning. Highly recommend this home to stay in Kandy!

Booked here very last minute after another booking fell through. I arrived late in the evening, so only a very brief visit, but the room was simple but spacious and had everything I needed. The breakfast was nice and served outside on the terrace in the morning.

This accommodation is perfect if you are looking for a calm place close to the city, but not in the businesses of the city. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We wished we were able to extend but we already booked our train ticket. Highly recommended, if you are looking for a peaceful getaway from the city. The family was very kind and so helpful. All in all, great stay and value for your money.

“Comfortable and friendly house in the hills”
Anniewatte House is situated in the hilly parts of Kandy. This means there is a big climb to get there from the train station or the city center, but while some tuk-tuks struggle to climb, they eventually manage to reach. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet, perfect to rest, although there is not a lot to do around as it is mostly a residential area. We really enjoyed the big room and comfortable beds. Everything was functioning well and we didn't have any issue. There was a nice smell in the room when we reached. The place is run by the family next door, and they were all very kind to us, even when we came a bit late to request some drinking water. They prepared a delicious breakfast, with toasts, eggs, butter and jam, fruits and tea or coffee. The breakfast was big enough for us to skip lunch!

My stay at Anniewatte House was very nice. My room was clean, spacious and functional. When I asked for a Sri Lankan breakfast I got the most delicious breakfasts served on the patio outside my room. The location was quiet and in a nice neighbourhood. I walked downtown every time but it is a bit far. However you can always go by Tuktuk. There is a big supermarket nearby. The family was very friendly and helpful. They also gave me a plate and knife when I asked for it.

“Amazing stay at Kandy city”
First of all excellent hospitality people who book a stay in Kandy should book to this place just to experience the amazing hospitality of the people in this place. Other than that the room was very clean and spacious with comfortable bed, also good location in a quiet area around 5 mins by tuk tuk to center. Overall the stay was amazing and would suggest this place to anyone going to Kandy.
