めっちゃ良い！

オーナーさん?が優しい！中心地に位置してるのでキャンディに短期滞在するなら便利な立地。観光地にも鉄道、バスの駅も全部徒歩圏内。徒歩1分でスーパーがあり、お酒も買える。Wi-Fiも遅くは無い。

Unreliable and unprofessional. Don't waste your time.

Turned up to the place at 1.30pm with a confirmed booking for one night via booking.com... just to be turned away as the place is apparently full. Some guys extended their stay I was told... Not only is this totally unprofessional, but the guy had me come all the way to the hostel instead of cancelling the booking when he realised his mistake and give me a bit of notice... In the end had to get an emergency booking somewhere else in busy Kandy, and wasted a couple of hours of my time.

Disgusting

The bathrooms was surprisingly clean

The hostel is in much worse shape. The beds and broken, the sheets smell, the curtains are old and dirty. There is no place to sit down On the entrance there are homeless people you need to pass them to go to the entrance to the hostel. Very cheap but still creepy for solo girl

Overall a great place to stay in the heart of Kandy if you are on a tight budget. If your purpose is to explore Kandy an

Lovely staff, perfect location right in the center of Kandy, spacious rooms. Host prepared tea upon request and took us for breakfast at local cafes, great experience!

Lockers were a bit small, and the bathrooms were not the cleanest. Also, the common are didn’t have much furniture. This wasn’t a big problem for us though as we spent most of our time out.

Perfect city centre location

Very central location, can walk to the main train/bus stations, and easily walk to the tooth temple and around the lake. Closely located to restaurants and shops, literally in the centre of town. Mano (host) is very friendly and has a wonderfully in-depth knowledge of all the buses you'll need 😂. Showers were warm, towels provided, toilets and bedrooms were very clean.

The room is right in the centre of town, you will get woken up by birds or chanting if you don't have earplugs.

Great value and location

Great location, really nice host, clean room and bathroom! We used Google maps and asked 1 person to find it quite easily

Bedsheets are a little too smalls and you could feel the springs a little, but nothing too bad

Für eine Nacht kann man es aushalten, aber ich würde es nicht empfehlen.

Der Besitzer ist sehr nett und gibt hilfreiche Tipps.

Es ist sehr dreckig. Sowohl die Toiletten, als auch die Räume. Es gibt keine Vorhänge und keine Türen. Ich bin nachts aufgewacht, weil mir eine Kakerlake über den Arm gelaufen ist (sie war da. 5cm groß).

Zentral, günstig und super Gastgeber.

Zentral und fussläufig erreichbar vom Bahnhof. Ihr werdet von einem herzensguten Gastgeber erwartet, der zu jeder Zeit hilfsbereit ist. Habe den ganzen Nachmittag mit ihm und seinen Freunden (die nach Feierabend vorbeikamen) verbracht und uns gegenseitig über Reisen und das Leben in den unterschiedlichen Kulturen unterhalten und ausgetauscht. Solche Begegnungen geben mir mehr als ein perfekt eingerichtet Hostel!

Das Hostel ist noch neu und somit gibt es ein paar Punkte die verbessert werden könnten, um den Aufenthalt zu verbessern. Das Hostel befindet sich in einer Seitengasse. Von der Seitengasse muss man in einen Innenhof und dort eine Außen-Metalltreppe hoch ins Hostel. Leider gibt es keine Schilder und es ist schwierig den Eingang zu finden. An den Betten würde ich einen Vorhang anbringen, um ein wenig Privatsphäre zu bieten. Ich war zu dem Preis aber dennoch sehr zufrieden mit dem Hostel und vor allem mit der Freundlichkeit des Gastgebers!

Good location, has lockers, might meet other people there

Hard to find/downstairs there is a homeless man sleeping, there is mold on the mattress and the walls/roof, it's raining into the dorm room. The bedsheets are coming off so you will most likely sleep without bedsheets on the mattress. It's like you just enter an abandoned building because you didn't find a place to sleep at Kandy. If you can try to avoid this place! There wasn't even soap in the sink so you had to bring your own to wash your hands.

Not so bad , owner was so kind person

I liked the guy who’s handling the place he’s very nice and humble guy and helpful ☺️ location is superb ☺️ don’t expect more than this there 😅

There was an issue with the water first day was no-water for 3 hours at evening till night and my second day same but for the full day the water was only available in the night with a low pressure, bed sheets was not clean , anyway we couldn’t except more than this for the amount what the bed for , you have to go down for Wc it’s not in the same room flat and Finally there is no AC which’s very difficult to sleep at night 🥲

Nice place for stay one day

A hostel located in the centre of the Kandy city. Near bus station, Railway station, police station and temples. They gave personal locker for keeping our valuables. Reasonable price and friendly staff!

Need someone help to find the way to the entrance. Bed linen looks haven't changed. I asked him, he told its clean and may be near bed mate sat for a while.

Walking distance from Sacred Tooth Relic temple, Kandy train station and many good restaurants. Nice staff.

There is only one small fan for a 6-bed dorm room and no mosquito net so it's a bit too hot to get good sleep at night. The hostel is located in a very small alley called "Secret alley" and quite tricky to find if you come for the first time. Anyway with only $3 for a bed/night it's value for money.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Dorm was a good size and the breakfast was delicious Also they lit incense in the room to chill me out after travelling. That was a lovely touch.

The shower was cold, but it was a hot day so it was actually nice.
