It's a place with an incredible view! It's a bit far from the center but you can take a tuk tuk and that's it! The room was very clean, the breakfast was very good for the price. The staff was very friendly at all times. They helped me get a tuk tuk to take me to the station and at night they recommended where to have dinner.

This stay was lovely. The accommodation was very comfortable with a great view. The hosts were really kind and approachable and helped us get a ticket for the Kandyan dance and he gave some suggestions on where to go in Kandy. Breakfast was really nice and the host was chatty and made us feel very comfortable during our stay.

The location is in a quiet spot just a short tuktuk ride from the city centre which was perfect for us. Great breakfast (Sri Lankan 6 items, fruit, coffee)and when we had to leave early for a train they even provided a packed breakfast which was very much appreciated. Above all, the hosts is what make this place really special. He exceptionally lovely and welcoming. He helped us plan everything during our stay and made us feel very at home. If we ever come back to Kandy, we know where we will stay ☺️. Thank you!

    It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

    The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

    Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
