I recently stayed at Ceylon Stayz and had an excellent experience. The owner is exceptionally kind and the staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast, especially the Sri Lankan options, is delicious. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with cozy beds. The location is perfect for a walk to the city center or accessing nearby bus stops. Ceylon Stayz offers incredible value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant stay.

The location of the hotel is excellent, walking distance to city center. The view from the rooftop is amazing. The bedrooms are nice and comfortable, and the staff is very nice and helpful. Our bag packs didn’t arrive with us in the same flight so we had to wait and contact the airport to arrange the delivery at the hotel. Special thanks to Kalindu from the reception, he helped us a lot contacting the airport and the delivery guy, so we could get our bags as soon as possible, because we needed to leave next morning.

The owner was so lovely and always there to help when needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had everything I needed! Bathroom was good and the shower was lovely with good pressure and temperature! Location was perfect and so close to many places included the Havelock city mall. There was also a kitchen to use which was great! Such a lovely place to stay for a good price would highly recommend!

A very nice hotel and easily accessible. There was a very good restaurant on the floor with great menu to select and pay for lunch or dinner. My train to Kandy was at 6.30 AM, they provided me very tasty packed breakfast which was arranged sharp at 5.30AM on my request.The staff was great and very well behaved. They obliged me by keeping my extra luggage in their store for the duration, I travelled to Kandy and Nawara Eliya. Perfect place to stay.
