Summary of traveller reviews

City View Hostel in Kandy is praised for its excellent central location and friendly, helpful staff. It's a good base for short stays, though some recent guests noted issues with noise, basic room security (curtains instead of doors), and a lack of air conditioning and toilet paper.
