Situated near Kandy Museum and Sri Dalada Maligawa, Terrace Kandy is in Kandy and features free private parking and a restaurant. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The property is 2.6 km from Bogambara Stadium, and within less than 1 km of the city centre. WOW. We booked last minute for just one night, we were lucky to find the Terrace, a small, simple and incredibly peaceful place. The room was clean and spacious, overlooking the valley, good breakfast. Host Ashan is incredibly kind and helpful. Location is a 9 min tuktuk ride from the heart of Kandy (the hotel has one) which is absolutely worth it to enjoy the view and peaceful stay at Terrace Kandy. Thanks again Ashan and everyone who took care of us.

Featuring views of the pool, all units in the property come with private entrance and a pool with a view. A terrace with an outdoor dining area and mountain views is offered in each unit. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. I recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Olde Ceylon with my family, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. This charming boutique hotel is a true gem, beautifully decorated…. The owners have clearly invested a lot of love and care into this place, continually updating and enhancing the decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The hospitality at Villa Olde Ceylon is outstanding. The owners are incredibly friendly and attentive. They quickly arranged for a cheap tuktuk, when we wanted to go out for dinner. Moreover, the value for money is excellent. With such beautiful surroundings and top-notch service, you truly get more than you pay for.

Some units in the guest house have private entrance and are fitted with desk and wardrobe. Some of the units have a cable flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, and a private bathroom with a bidet and a hair dryer. I suggest everyone to stay here once if you are planning to stay in Kandi.... The owner is so kind that I can't explain. You can explore the entire Kandy under the guide of this owner with a minimum budget.

Situated in Kandy with Kandy railway station nearby, Smile Hub Kandy -Youth Hostel- features accommodation with free private parking. The property has mountain and city views, and is 2.6 km from Bogambara Stadium. Kandy City Center Shopping Mall is 2.8 km from the guest house and Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens is 3.7 km away. Everything! First of all the people working in this hostel are very sweet helpful and answered all of my numerous questions about travelling around Kandy. The hostel is extremely clean, there are 2 big common areas, a laundry place (for free by the way), 2 kitchens, books and a notebook with many tips for Sri lanka written by travellers (restaurants, homestays, what to visit etc) which I find so useful and so cool! Rooms are big and bright, there is hot shower and AC, a desk with a drawer that you can lock. People are very respectful and quiet here. It is a good 35 min walk to the clock tower but you can take the bus if you prefer. I highly recommend this place, it is easy to meet people and you get so many travelling tips!
