Kandyan Nethu Stay

The room had basic stuff as described. Note that there is no mosquito net. However the room and the bathroom had a lot of mould on the walls and the ceiling. The place was damp too and you were able to smell it. There was also no WiFi coverage in the room. We wouldn’t come back. However the location was decent - 25 min walk to the centre.

We stayed here for 2 nights, the room included A/C, hot water, and a fan. Pretty basic and couldn't see out of the windows but fine for what we paid. The service is pretty non-existent, you arrive to a dark reception and someone emerged asking for a 'password' before handing a key. You don't get the hospitality that you normally get with hostels such as excursion options, ideas of places to eat locally etc. Most importantly, we booked a breakfast included room but no breakfast was provided.

I highly recommend this place to anyone who seeking a stay for great value. had a fantastic experience during the stay. The customer service was exceptionally friendly, and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The hotel is located in a calm area, not far from Kandy. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
