PROS: 1. Great location if you don't want to be on top of the hill. We were here for Vesak Poya and it was right in the middle of all the fun! 2.This guesthouse has been running for THIRTY years and you would NEVER guess it. Sakunthala asked me how old I thought the guesthouse was and I guessed 2... More

Well located, very clean and comfortable guesthouse in centre of town. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere and a good base to explore all major sites. The host family were extremely helpful and are able to provide good advice on planning travel in the area. I would certainly return.

Located close to the train station and the main bus station, this guesthouse sits amongst the more local strip of Peradeniya Rd. Don't expect views here, but instead a clean, well-kept guesthouse, run professionally by a helpful and courteous family. Rates aren't as cheap as some other guesthouses around the lake, but you get what you pay for. Rooms are... More

On my arrival in Kandy I was a little concerned that the tuk-tuk driver had not heard of this guesthouse. I became more concerned when I found it to be right on a main road. However behind the un-assuming exterior was extremely good accommodation. Very cool and quiet. Excellent food (some best curries in Sri Lanka) and attentive service. Rooms... More

A good location, near the train- and busstation, and not too far from the city center. The rooms are very clean. On the first floor they have a little terrace. The guesthouse is a bit away from the road, we didn't hear traffic noise. The breakfast is great, with fresh fruit and home made jam and marmelade. Very friendly staff.

We passed through here for 1 night before entering the hill country. We had a fan room with balcony and hot water. The room was slightly on the small side for 2 persons but very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was fine and very clean as well. Despite the hot temperatures during the day, we had no problem sleeping with... More
