Situated in Kandy and with Kandy City Center Shopping Mall reachable within 1.5 km, Eden Kandy features a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is around 4.3 km from Kandy Museum, 4.3 km from Sri Dalada Maligawa and 5.8 km from Ceylon Tea Museum. Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens is 6.8 km away and Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is 15 km from the hostel. Amazing! The place is really nice and clean. The owner is super helpful and friendly. It’s easy to reach and if you drive your own tuktuk they can help you with driving it up (it’s just a few meters) . He provides drinking water and there is nice warm water in the shower. The view is beautiful and the place is very peaceful. Good to get some rest after a day in the busy city. Would absolutely recommend and book it again!

Set in Kandy, 1.8 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall, Barefoot Inn Kandy offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 2.1 km from Bogambara Stadium, the hostel with free WiFi is also 2.4 km away from Kandy railway station. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and room service for guests. I absolutely loved Barefoot Inn! The rooms are beautiful, well equipped, clean and very spacious. The owner is one of the best hosts I’ve ever had – extremely kind, welcoming and super helpful. Their Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. The location is a bit further out, up a little hill, but I’d say totally walkable. I walked up an down both days of my stay, and honestly prefer the quietness it offered in bustling Kandy. Definitely worth the money & would gladly stay again. Thanks so much!
