Definitely you will not regret stopping in this cozy hostel near Kandy! Although I only spent one night Asanka made me feel like home and is extremely caring about his guests (he even came to the train station because it was raining!).He is the funniest host I have had in Sri Lanka so far and he will share his knowledge of history, culture and natural remedies with pleasure. I guess that is not gonna be me to give you less than 5 stars! Stuti for everything!

White Rose Hostel, hotel in Peradeniya

White Rose Hostel is offering accommodation in Kandy. Around 500 metres from Bogambara Stadium, the property is also close to Kandy City Center Shopping Mall.

Very good value for the price. The place is very clean and near to the railway station so it was very easy to take my train early (10mn by walk). I checked in very late and the owner was absolutely welcoming with me. I enjoyed my short stay here.

Kandy Backpackers Hostel, hotel in Peradeniya

Located just about 1 km from the Kandy lake round and 2 km from Kandy city center Kandy Back Packer's Hostel offers accommodation for guests with fully air conditioned rooms, such as private rooms...

The only good thing about this room was the staff who were very kind and helpful. I didn't like anything else. The room had unbearable humidity, the sheets and pillowcases had cigarette holes and in general it did not look very clean. When I left I realized that they kept 300 lkr more. Also it is not so close to the center, but that's OK.

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.

    For us, it was a great location as it was away from the business of Kandy and it was quiet with a great view of the mountains and city. Breakfast was freshly made and delicious. Room was basic but had everything we needed and was clean and very comfortable.

    Pretty good overall, neat and clean, friendly staff. Such a great location, amazing staff, super nice and very kind. For being so central the rooms are spacious and very quiet - a nice haven from bustling Kandy. Super close to market, lake, great restaurants, and 15 min walk to train station.

    Staff is very nice, kind and helpful. very safe place and walking distance from the city center and Temple of tooth. They arranged Taxi for our visit for very reasonable price. Very tasty food and excellent cook in the hotel. When I visit Kandy I will choose this place as the staff is very kind.

    We had a great time! We upgrade our budget room for a deluxe house, much better! The room was spacious, clean, as for the bathroom. The location is perfect! Close to the city but still really calm and quiet inside. You can walk in the city , close to train station and different markets . The staff is really kind and helpful. We love our breakfast experience.
