Popular points of interest near the hostel include Kandy railway station, Bogambara Stadium and Bahirawakanda Vihara Buddha Statue. Victoria Reservoir Kandy Seaplane Base Airport is 24 km from the property. For two days, I felt at home! The owner isn't your typical businessman who's just out to make a profit, but a sweet and warm person who cares about your experience. He cooks excellent traditional Sri Lankan dishes and can give you all the tips you need on the most unmissable places to visit in the city and the country. I would come back here a thousand and one nights. Thank you for everything!

The property is situated 2.4 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall, 3.9 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 5.2 km from Kandy Museum.

Sri Dalada Maligawa is 5.3 km from the hostel, while Ceylon Tea Museum is 5.4 km away. Victoria Reservoir Kandy Seaplane Base Airport is 25 km from the property. A Pleasant Surprise at Palm Garden! We booked Palm Garden without checking any reviews—only afterward did we take a look and feel a bit unsure. My husband even told me not to say anything about the booking, just to see how it was when we got there. But to our surprise, from the moment we arrived, everything was wonderful. At the doorstep, we were greeted by Madu at reception, who welcomed us with the warmest smile—as if we had known her for years! 😊 Our room was spotlessly clean, very spacious, with a large comfortable bed and a lovely balcony overlooking a beautiful view. It was clear that the staff really care about maintaining a high standard.

All units at the hostel are equipped with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Cozy Nest Kandy Villa also provide guests with a garden view. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. Excellent hotel – we were very satisfied. The value for money is outstanding. Everything is spotlessly clean, and both the room and the bathroom are spacious and very comfortable. The hosts are wonderful and incredibly kind. We asked for an early breakfast before the usual time because of our trip the next day, and they immediately agreed. They prepared a delicious, generous breakfast exactly on time. We highly recommend this place.
