From our room, we had a great view of the accommodation's garden, which was very beautiful. The room itself is also decorated in beautiful colors that match the garden. In addition to the material things, the hosts Jeewani and Ayeshika were also great. We had great conversations and thanks to their warm nature, we were able to relax well.

The property is situated 4.2 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens, 4.9 km from Ceylon Tea Museum and 5.3 km from Sri Dalada Maligawa. The property is non-smoking and is located 2.5 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall. Our stay at Ku’Vana Hostel Kandy was truly enjoyable. The room is simple and very comfortable, with clean and cozy beds that made for a good night’s sleep. Bathrooms are well maintained and tended to daily, which we really appreciated. The facilities are straightforward, but everything worked smoothly, and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The location is excellent just a short distance from the city centre, making it easy to explore Kandy, yet still quiet enough to enjoy some peace. What really stood out was the hospitality. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfast each morning was a highlight delicious, generous, and a great start to the day. For the price this hostel offers exceptional value. Clean, convenient, and filled with genuine hospitality it felt more like staying with friends than in a hostel. We would definitely choose to stay here again when we return to Kandy.
Kandy
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. My stay at Eden Kandy Guest House was honestly unforgettable. The place is spotless and thoughtfully designed, with a beautiful garden, a shared kitchen, and cozy little spaces for reading or relaxing. Books are everywhere, free tea and coffee are always available, and the whole space feels warm and welcoming — more like staying in someone’s home than at a guesthouse. The real highlight, though, is Udaya. He’s one of those rare hosts who genuinely cares. From small details to big arrangements, he always made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Even after I left Kandy, he helped me organize a fantastic driver for my onward trip and kept in touch to make sure all was going smoothly — such a thoughtful gesture. The location is great too: peaceful and quiet, but still an easy walk into the city and close to all the main sights. I left feeling not just rested but uplifted by the kindness and positivity here. And considering everything that’s included, the value is incredible. If you’re heading to Kandy, I can’t recommend Eden Kandy enough — it’s the kind of place you’ll remember long after you’ve left.

The property is situated 8.6 km from Bogambara Stadium, 8.8 km from Kandy railway station and 10 km from Kandy Museum. Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens is 13 km from the hostel and Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is 19 km away. Amazing house (I would say mansion), where I stayed for less than 5$. Simply in the middle of the jungle, with a super nice garden, a room in the house of that family was huge and super confortable. Really much better in real than in the pictures. I just stayed one night, but I think it would be better to stay more nights in the middle of the jungle and that luxurious acommodation. I was really positive dissapointment as for the price (I am backpack) i didn't expect too much and I was like in a 5 stars hotel

Definitely the best stay we had in Sri Lanka. An idyllic and beautiful place we’ve only seen in the movies so far. The hosts are super lovely and recommended us things to do and places to eat at that are authentic and charge local prices. Definitely drive with the host’s go-to Tuk Tuk driver Gehan. He is super sweet and careful of your safety in Kandy plus you won’t find any cheaper Tuk Tuk anyway. All in all 10/10.
The value you get in this property is the best so far I've had for a hostel/dorm. It came with free breakfast and dinner! It had hot water, AC and free towels. Although the facility itself is not "vibey", it is clean and comfortable located in a safe and pretty accessible from the main area/city center. You also do get to meet other people as dinner and breakfast are served along with other guests.
I had a very comfortable stay at the Queens mount Ridge Kandy. First of all it is value for the money. That was more than expected. Calm and safe environment. Even can recommend for a solo traveling girl. Friendly staff. Clean and the hotel is build to get maximum natural sunlight which is really cool. I like the rooftop pool and the seating area. Beautiful mount and city view. Closer to city. Overall 5 stars budget hotel.
Not far from the train and the bus stations, this place is a old house rehabilited in an hostel. It's really beautiful and in perfect condition ! I've felt living luxury for a cheap price ! And the hosts are always available to help you whatever the moment of the day or night with good advices.
The host was very welcoming and provided us with lots of great suggestions on where to eat in the Kandy area. The room and bathroom facilities were exceptionally clean and overall the hostel is positioned in a great location, only a 10 min walk from the station and 15 mins walk from Kandy Lake
Great location and amazing views over Kandy from the rooftop pool. It was everything you'd expect from a luxury hotel (we are normally budget travellers but splurged for a couple of nights!) Breakfast was exceptional, a full buffet/help yourself to as much as you want - the french toast was a particular highlight! The staff were also extremely helpful and quick with everything.
The staff very helpful and guide me greatly, the beds super clean and fortunately not bunk beds. The area of the hostel feels like your own home. Highly recommend
I have no hesitation in saying this - it is the best hostel to stay if you’re in Kandy! Very social, aforable doggos, value for money, lovely hosts and great location. I would go back again and again!
