Fantastic stay! Run by a young and ambitious owner with a vision. The hotel is brand new and the room was just fantastic with lots of love to the detail. The staff was just lovely with the absolute will to provide an unique experience. But the biggest asset was the kitchen chef which served the tastiest Lankan breakfast. We really digged in. Give it a go if you are looking for an outstanding stay in busy Kandy!

Nita’s daughter is very supportive when we need some help for communication. we really enjoy our stay!!!;) thank you Nita for the great hospitality!! oh, the view from the room is so nice, and the breakfast was so delicious too! ;)

Very quiet and secluded location, beautiful garden and nature, nicely decorated and wonderful hosts. The food was out of this world and the host teaches you how to prepare traditional meals with fresh ingredients from their garden. They were also really helpful in organising and optimising our onward journey to Ella.

    Of all the locations in Kandy, this hotel is fantastic. A tiny walk from the entrance to the Temple of the Tooth makes it ideal for a tourist stay. Very affordable. Rooms are small. Kind Sri Lankan service as was experienced throughout the whole country.

The room was spotless, breakfast was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Wonderful gardens in a quiet location
