Host is very helpful. I had a bag of laundry and he made sure that it is taken care of so I could go and discover the city. The facility is super nice, quiet but still easily accessible. It is easy to feel like home, lots of spots to relax and recharge.

Very friendly host, that provides good tips for restaurants and activities. The rooms are spacious and facilities very modern. I really liked the area, as it is not as busy as Kandy city center.

This hostel was really great and beautiful. The staff is really nice and helpful. They organise a lot of activities. I had a really great time here. A bit outside of the town but with a tuk-tuk, it was easy to go to the city.

The place was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. The terrace give a very nice view of the city and the location is walking distance from the train station and the temple. For this price, it would be hard to get a better place!

One of my favorite stays at a hostel. I loved the hospitality. Banda, the staff, has one of the best hospitality I've experienced. They are very accommodating, friendly, and puts a lot of heart into making our stay an enjoyable one. Loved there's breakfast and dinner and it's easy to meet other travelers. Space is really clean and comfortable too. Was able to arrange for Sigiriya and Knuckles Mountain tour here.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
