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.

Nicest hostel in Sri Lanka that I've stayed in. The owner was so kind and helpful... he organised a city tour for us which was excellent and he also gave my sick friend tea and was very thoughtful, enquiring about her wellbeing. The beds were so comfy and the rooms are very spacious. Great facilities such as a lovely shower, lots of storage room, water filter, great AC and fans too, he offers a tasty breakfast aswell which we really enjoyed. He also sends lots of information on things to do.
