Nice cheap hostel for one or two nights in Kandy. Was no one else there when I stayed so definitely not social but bed was super comfy and it’s well located. Close to Kandy lake and the temple of the tooth. Great value, would stay again

The Drop Inn was not the best choice but definitely it did the job properly. The hosts were amazing and helpful for any information, places to visit, small hotspots with amazing street food an so on. The location is alright in a peaceful area and a plus for those who like to hike. One downside, the wifi acted a bit ambitious for a few times but the problem was solved quicky by the staff.
