We stayed in a room with a balcony and a wonderful view of the city. The room was very clean and beautiful, with everything we needed. The staff was polite and helpful, providing us with many little extras upon request. For a small fee, you can ask for a tuk-tuk ride anywhere, and they can arrange a tour at a good price. They even took us to the train station at 4 a.m. and helped us buy tickets—top-notch service, in my opinion!

I had an incredible experience staying here. The host and his family were absolutely amazing—so warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout my stay. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and well taken care of. One of the highlights of my stay was the delicious Sri Lankan food they served. Each meal was a delightful culinary journey, full of authentic flavors and prepared with so much care. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged, making my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, I absolutely loved my time here and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming, home-like atmosphere with exceptional service and fantastic food. Can’t wait to return!

The house is like a flower vase, surrounded by a beautiful garden, which is maintained adorably by the owner. Architecture and interior inside the house is something amazing. The serenity, specially if u seat quietly in the balcony at night, is mesmerizing. The owner is very welcoming and cordial. Breakfast was good too.

Kandy Living is a hidden gem! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The property is located outside of the Kandy business and it a great place the retreat and relax. It takes about 15 mins with the TukTuk into Kandy. The food is delicious and we even got to watch the chef prepare the meals.

Of all the locations in Kandy, this hotel is fantastic. A tiny walk from the entrance to the Temple of the Tooth makes it ideal for a tourist stay. Very affordable. Rooms are small. Kind Sri Lankan service as was experienced throughout the whole country.
