We loved our stay. It felt like a little treat for us as we have been booking cheaper accomodation. It was right by the lake which was perfect and the breakfast was amazing! Bed was comfortable and we commented that the room and bathroom were very clean. Staff were helpful especially with carrying our bags up the stairs and steep drive!

OMG the rooms are unreal. We got upgraded to the new suites in the new aisle and they're unreal. By far the best rooms we've had in Sri Lanka. They're totally stunning. They also have beautiful views. Super highly recommended!

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.

We stayed at the Arambhaya Boutique Hotel for two nights and had a wonderful stay. The room was very spacious with a lot of attention to detail, the hotel was very clean and modern, quiet with a beautiful garden. The hospitality, friendliness and service of the staff was outstanding and the best we ever experienced in a hotel.

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.

We had such a lovely time here. The room is spacious, clean and the bed is super comfortable. We did the cooking class and it was a blast, the lady is so fun :) The owner of the house and his family are so nice. Would definitely recommend a stay here, outside of the chaos of the city.
