Featuring views of the pool, all units in the property come with private entrance and a pool with a view. A terrace with an outdoor dining area and mountain views is offered in each unit. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. Beautifully restored villa with three lovely guest rooms. The owner has used his artistic skills to make this one of the most enchanting boutique property anywhere. The breakfasts were delicious and the location is a short tuk tuk ride to the lake, downtown and nearby restaurants. Even comes with a small pool to cool off in on those hot days. Highly recommended!

With free WiFi, this guest house features a satellite flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and toaster. Towels and bed linen are available in the guest house. The property offers mountain views. We spent only one night in this beautiful property, but felt very safe and welcomed by the doctor’s family and their caretaker. Flat is very equipedd and clean, beds are large and comy and breakfast is very tasty. Extraordinery views from the rooftop. If you would like to stay close to the town but away from all the noise, this is the right place for you.

Situated in Kandy with Kandy railway station nearby, Smile Hub Kandy -Youth Hostel- features accommodation with free private parking. The property has mountain and city views, and is 2.6 km from Bogambara Stadium. Kandy City Center Shopping Mall is 2.8 km from the guest house and Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens is 3.7 km away. This felt like the perfect place to rest in busy Kandy. Even though it’s slightly far from the center, it’s super easy (and cheap) to access by bus or tuktuk. The room was super comfortable, good shower (above average), free laundry (amazing) and a kitchen very well equipped, with some books available as well. Yama is very nice and helpful! Really recommend this place

Located in Kandy, 3.3 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall, Kandy Lotus Chalet provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 3.6 km from Bogambara Stadium, the inn with free WiFi is also 3.9 km away from Kandy railway station. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests. I was very happy with my decision to stay here instead of a hotel in the city center. I could enjoy clean air and a peaceful atomosphere. The room was clean and spacious with a great view of trees and sound of birds. The staff were warm and very kind and they were always ready to help and support me. As a female solo traveler, I really appreciated their support. The owner gave me useful information about places to visit and was always happy to answer my questions. The communication was very smooth and he replied very quickly through Whatsapp and I really appreciated it. It was a home-stay like experience and I really enjoyed my stay.
