Behind the closed doors off the road you walk into an amazing place! The hotel is really quirky and unique it's been thought about alot and it's a place I won't forgot from my time in Sri Lanka! Really lovely hosts who can't do enough for you and book your tuk tuk and help plan your time in Kandy. The bed was so comfy and the room was very clean and again had the quirky touches!

The family were so accommodating and were very helpful to share all the tours, local food, cheaper options for my trip. I’m a female solo traveller and I felt right at home here. The whole family made me feel very safe and Karunarathna waited for me at every stop of our tour. This place is very peaceful with a beautiful view of the mountains. The room is very clean, the bed comfy, the option of AC or Fan in the room. The whole family really go above and beyond for their guests and I’m so grateful for them. They are genuinely good people and want their guests to enjoy Kandy! Thank you guys for having me! ❤️

By far the best place I have been to. All modern, new clean building next to one of the main roads. You take a tuk tuk everywhere super easy. The staff is friendly and helpful. Very nice people. The room has everything, convenient desk, AC, fan, and a big private bathroom. Also a nice common area with kitchen and free laundry. Amazing.

The accommodation is nice and clean, it is close to the center. It is owned by a family and the host is really kind and helpful. We stayed in Kandy only for 1 night, so we had only breakfast there, but for us it was a good stay. Thank you!

    It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

    The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

    Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
