I would say it’s a gem in the heart of the Kandy city! Friendly staff, fantastic rooms and great food. Enjoyed the Japanese food. Great coffee as well. Close to most of the Kandy attractions. Parking is the biggest problem though. Felt very safe in the midst of Covid 19. Good safety measures. Thanks so much. Will come again!
9 SWP Eco Lodge

Very good place to stay right in the heart of the sacred city of Kandy. Walking distance to both the Kandy City Center and the Temple of the Tooth Relic. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The meals were also very good. Staff members were really friendly and polite as well. The only negative point is the extra-steep slope through which you have to enter the Ecolodge, which can take some effort - both on foot and in a vehicle.

12 bunk planet

Staying in Bunk planet hostel...booked it for 2 nights. The bed is quite comfortable and the area of the bunk is pretty spacious, you can keep your luggage in locker which is under your bed and some stuff on the side of your bed as well. The hostel's rooftop is spectacular and really amazing views from there.
Bathrooms are neat and clean but just one drawback is that it is in the basement so there is no ventilation in the room. Everything is fine and the location fine as well.
Enjoy your stay

Very tranquil, silent accomodation with a wonderful view to the river. You can see here, flying foxes, monkeys and a lot of birds. In the morning you can see the local fishermen going to fishing. The rooms are very stylish. The staff is very friendly and they speak very good English. The food is amazing. They prepare freshly for the guests. If you look for a room near Kandy, I recommend this place.
