Very nice house with beautiful little garden. The room is furnished with great taste, the garden is full of flowers. The family is super nice and friendly, they treated my daughter as their own. They also organize cooking classes, which I absolutely recommend: it is taking place in an authentic kitchen with traditional utensilies, and is the owner's mom who teaches you about spices, local vegetables, and how to cook some very tasty Sri Lankan meal. She is great! Breakfast is an amazing selection of local dishes, and it's plenty. Our host was also very nice, ready to help with anything, explaining about culture and what to see in Kandy. He helped with our laundry, organized for us tuktuk to the citiy, and took us to the train station when we were leaving. The whole family was very nice and attentive to our every need. The location is outside of Kandy, a bit far from the center, but because of this it is very quiet, and it's surrounded by nature. I highly recommend it! Even if you don't stay here, try the cooking class!

Fantastic place to stay in Kandy - the view on the city was amazing and the city center, as well as the Tooth Temple, was quite close to the structure. The room was spacious, beds were comfortable and there was also a fan to cool down the room's temperature. Breakfast was great! Hosts were very friendly and helpful, they also managed to help us changing the check-in / check-out times.

Great breakfast, fabulous and very spacious room. Very clean and nice bathroom. Very comfortable beds. The location of the hotel is conveniently located close to the city centre as well as train station. It's close to the main road but not directly next to it which makes it quiet place to rest aftr whole day of sightseeing. The owner was kind to explain everything and provide a brief tour about what to see and do in Kandy. This is a professional hotel unit but a family business as well and they do care to make you comfortable.

Best location i have stayed yet in Sri Lanka. This pearl has everything you need. The bed is great, the shower is gorgeous and the personel is the best i’ve seen yet. They will help you with literally anything you need and wil accomodate it for you. If something on the menu is not like your taste, they can change it to your own liking. They have a beautiful big tent on the outside of the hotel, which has a bathtub, AC and literally everything you need. There are no downsides i could mention. Like i have said…. The best location in Kandy

The hotel management provides excellent service, attending to every need with professionalism and warmth.Given its prime location and top-notch amenities, it's undoubtedly the best value for money. If you're looking for a place to stay, this hotel should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

Great location in peaceful surroundings. Located in the mountains, it’s far enough away from the city centre but close enough to walk to. 10 min walk to Kandy lake and 20-30 min walk into town. The occasional elephant can be seen walking past the hotel which was a highlight for me. Under new management, the owner and his team went out of their way to accommodate every request and made my stay feel like my home away from home.
