Just stayed here one night, but the owner made sure we‘re comfortable and organized everything for us. He gave us tips and suggestions for our next stops. Definitely worth a stay if you‘re looking for some time to breath and chill.

Great stay! I stayed in the hostel section, and it was probably the most luxurious hostel room I've ever stayed in. Everything was very clean, fresh, comfortable, and well maintained. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and always helpful. The location was good, with shops and restaurants nearby and the botanical garden within walking distance. Despite being close to everything, the area was quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended!

I had such an amazing experience at Altitude Ambuluwawa! Everything was perfectly arranged and truly worth it. If you want to experience the breathtaking sunrise from Ambuluwawa, this is honestly the only budget-friendly choice you should go for. The best part is you don’t have to buy tickets at the entrance the package includes your entrance fee, bonfire, and everything you need. Everything was so amazing, well organized, and totally worth it. Highly recommended!

Staff were welcoming on arrival and very helpful. Room was very clean. Bathroom very clean. Cafe restaurant downstairs and a rooftop restaurant, all food was very good. Central location. Value for money. Smaller/quieter hostel. Some lovely views on the rooftop. Allowed me to keep my bag there before check out. Loved my stay here! Kandy is a beautiful place to explore.

We had a wonderful stay at Ku‘Vana Hostel. Chattu and his mother welcomed us very kindly. It felt like a little home. The breakfast and the tea we always got, were absolutely amazing!!! The outdoor bathrooms & the rooms were clean and nice. Chattu gave us lots of recommendations for Kandy. Where we should eat and what sights to visit. He really is a kind soul & was always happy to have a chat with us. We also did a guided meditation which was wonderful. Thank you so much for the great time! We would love to come back :)

I stayed only one night and it was good. Comfortable beds and very cheap (so also don't expect anything luxurious)

Their rooftop restaurant was awesome! Had their breakfast burrito twice and think it was one of the tastier things I had in Kandy. They're more of an upscale hostel, so the rooms are clean and well-designed. A little pricier, but certainly worth it if you're wanting a slightly more comfortable dorm experience! Location is good, about a 15 minute walk into the town alongside the lake and about 5 minutes from one of the performance centers for the Kandy traditional fire-dance experiences.

The value you get in this property is the best so far I've had for a hostel/dorm. It came with free breakfast and dinner! It had hot water, AC and free towels. Although the facility itself is not "vibey", it is clean and comfortable located in a safe and pretty accessible from the main area/city center. You also do get to meet other people as dinner and breakfast are served along with other guests.

The host was very welcoming and provided us with lots of great suggestions on where to eat in the Kandy area. The room and bathroom facilities were exceptionally clean and overall the hostel is positioned in a great location, only a 10 min walk from the station and 15 mins walk from Kandy Lake

Budget/ basic small hostel but amazing value. The owner is really nice and helpful. Spacious dorm room, lockers, plus towel provided which is a nice touch. Amazing location, central and close to lake and temple, a supermarket, lots of places to eat and there’s a rooftop pub above the hotel next door. I wish this little place good luck in the future!

The hostel is in very beautiful building on the hill. Nice view not far from main attractions and pleasant lake. Dormitory's a little too small with a noisy fan. Bathroom clean but without hot water. Bed confortable. No small light on each bed. A large clean room where eventually consume meals, but without the possibility to use own kettle.

The view from this hostel is beautiful. Plus the serenity and safety it provides is unmatched. The pool was a major selling point and I can confirm it is worth it. The rooms are also comfy and bathroom facilities clean. I loved the outdoor sitting areas, so beautiful to just listen to the rain.
