About

Welcome to Eden Kandy – a boutique hostel crafted for travellers who seek more than just a bed. Nestled in the green hills of Bahirawakanda and located less than 1km from Kandy city centre, Eden offers the perfect balance of calm, comfort, and connection.

We’re close enough to walk to the Temple of the Tooth and the bustling lakefront, yet just far enough to enjoy quiet mornings, fresh air, and views of the hill country. Whether you’re heading to Ella on the scenic train, exploring cultural gems, or simply relaxing with fellow travellers over breakfast, Eden is your ideal base in Kandy.

We offer thoughtfully designed dorms and private rooms, high-speed WiFi, and cozy communal areas where stories are shared and friendships are made. Our team is always ready with a smile, a local tip, or a cup of tea.

At Eden, we believe great stays begin with intention and atmosphere — where every traveller feels safe, seen, and inspired.

Udaya, the owner, has put his all into making this hostel a clean, safe and enjoyable environment for travellers! It is peaceful and quiet and really nicely located near the centre of town. Udaya helped us to book a tour of Kandy which was amazing and included tea factory and tasting, wood carving and jewellery making sessions - it was great! For travellers looking for a nice clean relaxing stay this is the place to go!

Very beautiful property. Located very close to the city centre, but it's on a small hill. Amenities are top notch. The caretaker is very welcoming and will help you plan your day. Slightly more expensive than other options but worth it.
