The accommodation made kandy even better for us

The location was excellent, 2 minutes down to the lake, 5-10 minutes to the main part of town with loads of shops and restaurants, nice walk around the lake to get there. Room had everything you needed. They arranged a tuk tuk day tour around kandy for a very good price! The breakfast was great. And most importantly, the guys running the place were brilliant, so friendly, helpful & we had a right laugh with them and the other wonderful guests there in the evening! (& to Mr morris, if you’re reading this - hi!!)

Great short stay

I liked everything about this place! Staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I had only and afternoon and one night stop over in Kandy. The host organised tickets for me to see some traditional dancing and helped me plan out my afternoon to see some of the main attractions to make most of my time there. The guest house has a very laid back hostel feel which I loved. Communal indoor and outdoor area where you can meet other guests. They also provided the most delicious breakfast. Room was also cozy and clean! Very happy. Would stay again!

Relaxed casual guesthouse in great location.

Great location - short walk to lakefront and Temple of the Tooth. Breakfast plentiful with choice of local or Western food. Bedroom spacious., well shaded so kept cool without aircon. Casual relaxed vibe but still attentive staff.
