Eden kandy was the last and also the best hostel I stayed and honestly, it was fantastic. The whole place was super clean—whether it was the lobby, the rooms, or the lovely courtyard where you could lounge on chairs and just relax. They even had some monkeys occasionally wandering around the yard, which was pretty fun to see! The manager was incredibly friendly and helpful, always trying to assist with anything guests needed. They provided free filtered drinking water, as well as complimentary tea, coffee, and Nescafé in the kitchen, which was fully equipped and even had a kettle so you could make hot water whenever you wanted. Out of the four hostels I stayed at during my week in Sri Lanka, this one was the best. The price was very reasonable, the room’s cooler and fan worked perfectly, and overall it was just an excellent experience. I’d absolutely recommend it and would definitely stay there again if I come back to Sri Lanka.

Our bicycle journey around Sri Lanka has a stop in a Kandy too. A city that should not be missed on your Sri Lanka trip as also a place called Galkaduwa360 Villa in the middle of city with a 360 view an all of it. What makes place even more home like is an owner Susantha which is always ready for help and conversation, good company and fun. So that is probably also the one more reason why we prolonged our one night stay in to two nights. The place is cosy, very clean and modern arranged. With A/C, great WI-FI, 360 city view and a lot more. Don,t miss Kandy and take a rest in heaven's place Galkaduwa360 Villa. Highly reccomended by Gregor and Staš.

Very nice house with beautiful little garden. The room is furnished with great taste, the garden is full of flowers. The family is super nice and friendly, they treated my daughter as their own. They also organize cooking classes, which I absolutely recommend: it is taking place in an authentic kitchen with traditional utensilies, and is the owner's mom who teaches you about spices, local vegetables, and how to cook some very tasty Sri Lankan meal. She is great! Breakfast is an amazing selection of local dishes, and it's plenty. Our host was also very nice, ready to help with anything, explaining about culture and what to see in Kandy. He helped with our laundry, organized for us tuktuk to the citiy, and took us to the train station when we were leaving. The whole family was very nice and attentive to our every need. The location is outside of Kandy, a bit far from the center, but because of this it is very quiet, and it's surrounded by nature. I highly recommend it! Even if you don't stay here, try the cooking class!

Very quiet and secluded location, beautiful garden and nature, nicely decorated and wonderful hosts. The food was out of this world and the host teaches you how to prepare traditional meals with fresh ingredients from their garden. They were also really helpful in organising and optimising our onward journey to Ella.

Of all the locations in Kandy, this hotel is fantastic. A tiny walk from the entrance to the Temple of the Tooth makes it ideal for a tourist stay. Very affordable. Rooms are small. Kind Sri Lankan service as was experienced throughout the whole country.
