All guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and slippers, certain rooms at Ella Way Resort-Peradeniya also provide guests with a mountain view. All units include a safety deposit box. That was a very nice stay, the hosts were caring and nice. Very recommended to stay. It’s closer to a Dhamma Kuta vipassana center, so for me it was comfortable to stay before meditation

All units at the hostel are equipped with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Cozy Nest Kandy Villa also provide guests with a garden view. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. One of my favorite stays at a hostel. I loved the hospitality. Banda, the staff, has one of the best hospitality I've experienced. They are very accommodating, friendly, and puts a lot of heart into making our stay an enjoyable one. Loved there's breakfast and dinner and it's easy to meet other travelers. Space is really clean and comfortable too. Was able to arrange for Sigiriya and Knuckles Mountain tour here.

The bathroom was clean and had warm water! There was a fan and an AC! The staff were very nice and accommodating. My partner and I got given fresh juice on arrival. The location was also decent, we were a quick walk away from the tooth temple and lake, also near a great dosa and curry place! We could also easily get a Tuktuk when we felt it was a bit too hot in Kandy to walk.
