Amazing deal for the price and location. Its about 400 in a Pick Me ride if you walk away from train station to other side of lake. Can catch a bus back to town easily. Family was super accommodating and welcomed me with a coffee and quick chat. Their daughter bakes great cakes and mom and daughter made a lovely simple Sri Lankan breakfast. Quiet even for SL New Year.

I met some nice backpackers in the hostel by the lake. When I wanted to extend my stay and switch to a private room in the hostel on the hill, they got me a tuktuk to move from one to the other. They helped me find a scooter to rent and gave me recommendations on taking the train towards ella. When I wanted to store my luggage for a few days they arranged that as well. Such friendly and helpful people. And nice rooms as well.

The environment was very chic and clean. First day I stayed in dorm and the room was clean, comfortable bed, bathroom in good and clean condition. Then I decided to stay in the next day through booking.com for the deluxe private room. It was amazing with comfortable bed, ample space and clean. Besides, the location it’s so strategic and you can just go to Kandy lake just by walking distance. Friendly staff that willing to help. I would say that the staff went beyond and above to help for the transportation and also the location that you planned to go. Whatever you have any queries they are trying their best to help you 👍

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
