It was a wonderful day in the heart of Peradeniya.This place could be the best place to stay before you visit Ella or Kandy city.you can get Kandy -Ella train at Sarasaviuyana train station or at Peradeniya train station..Both are located 2.5km away from this place.Kandy city centre, Kandy Tooth relic temple is 6km away.Peradeniya Royal botanical garden is 3km away.you can visit Kandy Tooth relic temple,Bahirawakanda Temple,Udawatte tropical rain forest and temple is 30 minutes travel by Bus or tuk tuk.you don't want to go through a busy ,big city and make sure to get a seat on a train or a bus to travel Ella or Sigiriya rock fortress...you can get it by just walking 20 minutes.we decided to book this homestay a few stops before Kandy city.it was a great choice as not only we got a help to get a ticket to Ella train.We spent wonderful day with host family with their 3 kids talking,playing cards,.Host family speak very good English and they are well mannered with foreigners.we decided to stay two more days to visit Peradeniya university garden .it is away from walking distance.According to my travel experience Kandy/Peradeniya are best cities to stay and look around and taste traditional Sri Lankan foods,fruits and culture.They offered us traditional Sri Lankan food for breakfast,lunch and dinner.it was extremely delicious and low in spice you can get nice mountain hike by walking to Hanthana mountain range.it is 500m away.This place is located very next to Kandy-Mahakanda Bus road ..it gets 40 minutes by Bus and 9 km away from Kandy city centre ..If I visit Sri Lanka again ,I will book this place..sure ....I am a Denmark traveller and this experience is amazing...

Conveniently set in Kandy, Funk Bunks - By The Lake provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, free private parking and room service. With a garden, the property also features barbecue facilities....

I LIKED EVERYTHING! The moment i stepped in the property, it was giving me good vibes. The room was clean, the bathroom was also clean because they clean everyday and cleanliness is what travelers appreciate. The bed was the most comfortable bed i had so far in sri lanka. I was able to sleep well. I didnt have any trouble sleeping at all. There was an AC, tv, mini fridge inside although it was plugged but i believe it was working. I just didnt use it. What you pay includes good breakfast and dinner so it was really worth it. The owners were lovely 🥹 thats the thing i love the most about this hostel. On my last day, they saw me working and offered me coffee. So sweet 💗 I only booked one night but ended up staying for 3 nights. What a great place to stay ♥️ THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING 🥰 I WISH TO GO BACK!

White Rose Hostel, hotel in Peradeniya

White Rose Hostel is offering accommodations in Kandy. Around 1640 feet from Bogambara Stadium, the property is also close to Kandy City Center Shopping Mall.

Location and very clean room and bathroom! They even had plastic under the mattress which I assume protects from bugs. The owners were very nice and helpful with my questions!

Banana Bunks Kandy, hotel in Peradeniya

Featuring a garden, shared lounge, terrace and free WiFi, Banana Bunks Kandy is located in Kandy, 1.4 miles from Kandy Train Station and 1.6 miles from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall.

Pretty location looking out over Kandy. The shared dorm room was a bit basic (and no ac), but Tharindu went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of— arranging a tour around Kandy and helping me plan trips to nearby towns (telling me transport options, what sights to see, arranging a tuk tuk transfer, and checking in multiple times a day while on the excursions to make sure I was safe and everything was going smoothly). He made the stay worth it! Amazing hospitality.

    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.

    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.
