The staff were amazingly Helpful, friendly and very welcoming. The included breakfast was very nice and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were perfectly adequate for what we needed and the main lounge area was very nice hang out area. Good size room, comfy bed, great air con, bathroom had all facilities as required and everything was very clean and tidy. Great location for the city and lake etc. Would highly recommend staying for a low budget stay.
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.
great value for money with its cheap rates. Its location very close to town makes it convenient for exploring. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly. Highly recommended for budget travelers.
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.
Very clean & nice accommodation in a good location close to the railway station :) As a female solo-traveller I felt super safe. The hostel has a cute rooftop & the bathroom is amazing. The owners are super nice & friendly, help where they can & even took care of my staff whilst I was travelling the country. Definitely recommend it!
Quite contradictory impression overall. Cant say Ll iss good or it is bad experience.
We could change room to more spacious and with access to fresh air on the second day.
Location quite centered
Wardrobe and mirrors
Good internet, one of the best we had across other hotels
Polite host
Worth money it cost i think so really cheap/simple. Do not expect some luxury for this budget which is normal. Reminds more hostel quality than hotel.
Location was shared via google map and advise where to get off the bus to save time. This was cool
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!
Breakfast and dinner were included in the price! Also the owner invites all the guests to a cookery lesson in the evening to learn about Sri Lankan food and meet the other guests. They also had a lovely pool which was a great bonus when your in the jungle setting. This is a great backpackers budget hostel with lovely friendly staff.
A brilliant hostel with fabulous staff to make you very welcome
Each night you have the opportunity to get involved in the cooking of dinner, the dinner is included in your room rate
The food is prepared and served with love...this is the best hostel I have stayed in for a very long time
The hostel also are able to organise a city tour by tuk tuk...Baggie my driver was great and gave me a value for money tour.. I would recommend that any one thats looking for a great place to stay look no further than Backpackers Hostel Kandy
