The family was very friendly, they let me take the tuk tuk into their garage, the hotel was super clean, the room was spacious and comfortable, the shower was perfect and the location was ideal, close enough to walk to the center and far enough to be out of the noise of the city. I recommend it 100%

This is a homestay, but the family who own the building were all extremely nice, and the bed/bathroom apartment and dining area are on their own floor so we had complete privacy. The bedroom was extremely spacious, with a comfortable bed, and everything was spotless. We were able to pay to have laundry done, and it came back beautifully clean, dry, ironed and folded. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in Kandy!

We had zero complaints!
