The bed was very comfortable, a nice view of the elephants at the orphanage when they are let out at 8:30am and just a 10 minute walk max to walk to the entrance. It’s right by some restaurants on the Main Street.

The Change Hotel, hotel in Mawanella

Offering a bar and garden view, The Change Hotel is located in Kandy, 4 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 4.3 km from Ceylon Tea Museum.

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.

New Toropi Homestay, hotel in Mawanella

Featuring mountain views, New Toropi Homestay provides accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 8.5 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens.

Our stay at Toropi Homestay was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a serene jungle setting, just a short distance from the bustling city of Kandy, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Nishad and his wonderful family, whose hospitality made us feel instantly at home. The food, lovingly prepared by Nishad’s wife, was some of the best Sri Lankan cuisine we’ve ever had—each meal was a delightful exploration of local flavors and traditions. Nishad went above and beyond as our host, taking us on unforgettable excursions to a local tea factory, stunning waterfalls, the iconic Ambuluwawa Tower, and several beautiful temples. These experiences gave us a deep appreciation for the natural beauty and rich culture of the area, all while avoiding the usual tourist crowds. What truly sets Toropi Homestay apart is the genuine warmth and kindness of Nishad and his family. Their care and attention to detail made our stay the best we had in Sri Lanka. If you’re looking for a place that offers both comfort and authentic experiences, Toropi Homestay is an absolute must-visit.

Kandy Guest House, hotel in Mawanella

Set in Kiribatkumbura, within 3.5 km of Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 8.4 km of Kandy railway station, Kandy Guest House offers accommodation with a garden as well as free private parking for guests...

We are extremely happy we chose to stay at Kandy Guest House during our stay in Kandy. The location is serene which makes it perfect to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Our favorite part was relaxing at the balcony that overlooked the river. The staff were also very helpful with anything that you needed. The beds were one of the most comfortable we have slept in and the airconditioning worked great. It was certainly a home away from home.

    We stayed in Mawanella at Mystay for just one night, however we wish we could stay longer! A spacious, comfortable room with multiple areas in the room and outside to relax. Friendly, accommodating host family, made us delicious food, and showed us around town.

    Probably the best place I’ve experienced in Sri Lanka . Modern and yet with a traditional feel like no other. It’s wooden structure and design was such that it was a joy to behold ,enhanced by the gracious host for which nothing was too much trouble.

    It was a wonderful experience in this cabin. The place is fully equipped and well maintained. The host Mr Sisira is a wonderful person and helped us many ways during whole stay. Amazing location plus close to Kandy town and Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. If anyone is interested in hiking, there is a view point Saradiel Rock close by. We recommend this place to anyone who wants to feel free with nature. We would be very happy to come back someday!
