The hostel is excellent, spotlessly clean, great location (a quiet area a short walk from Kandy town centre), friendy, helpful staff. It has a lovely pool and areas to relax on the roof. Breakfast is included. Every evening there are lessons in cooking Sri Lankan food, you get to eat anything that has been cooked for dinner. This means not only do you get fantastic food it provides an opportunity to meet and socialize with the other guests. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in.

We loved the cooking lesson and the food was really nice. The staff were so friendly and helpful it was such a sociable vibe, the only issue was the bathroom was filled with ants it was so uncomfortable to go to the toilet and we couldn’t shower in there it was kind of nauseating.
