If you want to be outside the city center in a nice quiet garden, then this is the place to be. Owner Udaya helps you were he can. Such a nice man! Unfortunately I only got to stay 1 night because it was sold out the next day. Otherwise I would have stayed longer for sure! He made sure I got on a good bus to Dambulla with a free transfer! Also gave me some delicious fruit. The terrace was so nice to sit and relax. If I ever come back to Kandy I will stay here again. Women's dorm is very spacious!

First of all we liked the amazing view, doesnt matter if you are on the balcony, look out of the windows of your room or from the 360 Grad view roof top terrace, you will have a amazing view everywhere. You can see the mountains, the city, diffrent temples and the beautiful nature. Second thing we liked very much, was the food, for fair prices. So we had a high quality dinner and large portions on the roof top, cocked by the host. We liked it so much, so my girlfriend tooked a cocking lesson the next day by the host. She enjoyed it a lot. Specially the host is very friendly, makes you feeling like you are at home and helped us with everything we needed. He is happy if his guest are happy. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. If we come back to Kandy one day, theres no question where we will stay. Thank you a lot. Greetings Björn & Katjana

The guestroom is located in the families green garden and has a lot of space, even with a little are in the „second level“. We felt very welcome by the whole family from the first second on. As the house is located on a mountain hill, it was a bit tricky to get there, however, Sudesh organized it perfectly. The room is spacious, clean and had everything that was promised in the booking. The queen sized bed was super comfy and we had a good night rest despite the heavy rain that night. The breakfast was the best we had so far on our trip through Sri Lanka and we were even asked for any preferences on what to get & when to get it. Totally recommend!!

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.

I wanted to let you know that a very tasteful entrance which led down to the room we had booked. I would like to add this was the last room they had which was a budget room with twin beds. The room was spotless, breakfast was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Wonderful gardens in a quiet location
