Guest Reviews
- Salé (4/5): Pratique pour un court séjour mais les lieux manquent clairement d’entretien. - La terrasse est agréable, le lieux est au calme, les espaces communs sont désuets mais charmants. La vétusté des chambres et salles de bain. Les chambres donnent ont des verrières qui donnent sur le couloir. Les blattes dans les salles de bains 😅
- Thierry (7/5): - Accueil sympa (mais comme partout au Sri-Lanka). Chambre de qualité moyenne, salle de vain privative mais sur le palier, établissement sans charme. Bref, rien de fou-fou sans défaut rédhibitoire.
- Caterina (10/5): - Personnel très gentil, chambre spacieuse et confortable, hyper propre, non emplacement -
- micallef (8/5): Super adresse - La gentillesse du personnel ainsi que la chambre propre et spacieuse. Rien
- Pauline (9/5): -
- Christine (7/5): - Eine sehr liebenswürdige und hilfreiche Mitarbeiterin am Empfang, bei der wir einen Ausflug buchen konnten und die bei Problemen mit der Dusche behilflich war. Das Frühstück war reichlich und lecker. Das Ambiente macht leider den Eindruck, als ob nicht mehr darein investiert wird.
Wir hatten das Hotel auch wegen der sehr guten Rezensionen über das angegliederte Mango Garden Restaurant gebucht, aber das gibt es nicht mehr, stattdessen eine Holzofen-Pizzeria, und ab nachmittags sitzt man auf der Veranda im Holzofenrauch.
- Danmimi (7/5): Petit hôtel qui mérite un bon nettoyage et rafraîchissement - Le personnel très à l écoute.
Un petit déjeuner excellent . La chambre et la salle de bain n étaient pas propre, si vous marchez pieds nus dans la chambre, je ne vous dit pas la couleur des pieds😫
Le parterre mériterait un sérieux nettoyage, la salle de bain aussi.
Et un sérieux rafraîchissement, peintures à refaire.
- corinne (9/5): - L’emplacement au calme avec accès au centre ville à pieds. Personnel très agréable. Le propriétaire est très sympathique et il parle français, ce qui nous a bien aidé !
- BOYER (8/5): - Très bon accueil du personnel et bon emplacement .
- philippe (7/5): -
- Admx74 (6/5): - La situation et le personnel, l'accueil très chaleureux, toujours prêt à rendre service, tout proche du lac et visites à pied facilement accessible Établissement vieillissant, sale, le manque de sérieux pour l'organisation des excursions (les prix changent sans raison, un coup on me dit oui puis finalement non), le resto est cher (5000 pour une pizza et une bière)
- Judith (3/5): -
- Gerard (10/5): - Accueil exceptionnel emplacement idéal très bons services et multiples conseils de qualité pour visiter Kandy et les environs
- Tom (10/5): -
- Julie (6/5): -
- Crotal (10/5): - Le personnel est très accueillant et chaleureux et les chambres sont plutôt bien équipées et correspondent aux descriptions.
- patrick (7/5): - L'emplacement parfait, à pied, 5 mn du lac, 15 mn du centre, hôtel vétusté, première nuit , odeurs insupportables de l' évacuation de la douche, les 2 autres nuits, écoulement de l'eau de la clim sur la tôle du toit, la femme à l'accueil fait au mieux, mais cet hôtel n'est pas entretenu, dommage !
- Ludovic66 (8/5): -
- Herve (9/5): Simple, propre, pas cher, bons conseils et personnel super - Lit très confortable
Petit déjeuner parfait : café, thé, toast, beurre, confiture, fruits frais (mangue, ananas, pastèque, banane...), crêpes fourrées coco et gingembre, accompagnement salé (lentilles curry, coco gingembre oignons...)
Proche du centre ville au calme (15 minutes à pied)
Pizzéria à 10 mètres
Connexion Wifi, tv, climatisation, ventilateur, moustiquaire
Le propriétaire Malik parle Anglais et Français - Nombreux conseils et organisation de tours possible (Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Polonnâruvâ, Mihintale, Dambulla...) La pression de l'eau est parfois faible
Il manque quelques étagères pour poser les affaires (serviette, vêtements)
- Sameera (2/5): Waste of money - Location Please aviod this hotel
Utter waste of money
Very poor quality room
No soap in the bathroom
Totally dissapointed
- Magali (10/5): - Accueil au top, toute l'équipe est disponible et de bon conseil. Malik parle francais,.
- Audrey (7/5): Parfait - Le tuk tuk quid vient. Nous chercher à la gare de bus
Le personnel attentif
Un super petit déjeuner
- Camille (10/5): - J'ai été très bien accueillie et conseillée par tout le personnel, l'auberge est équipée simplement mais tout fonctionne, le restaurant propose de très bonnes pizzas.
- Lola (10/5): GÉNIAL!!!! - Nous avons passé un moment incroyable à Mango Garden. Malik, le propriétaire, nous a donnés tous les bons plans du coin et a été très à l’écoute. Il nous a même aidés à prendre nos tickets de train pour Ella alors que tout était complet. Autre point positif, son humour! Son staff est tout aussi adorable. Nimanthi, la réceptionniste nous a parfaitement accueillis. Kana, serveur et chauffeur de tuktuk nous a emmenés à différents endroits en nous donnant pleins de bons tuyaux. Enfin, Nilantha, le chauffeur de van lors de notre excursion, a été tout simplement fabuleux, il nous a donnés pleins d’explications sur les monuments et nous a fait découvrir des endroits magiques (dont un centre de massages ayurvediques ou l’on a eu l’un des meilleurs massages de notre vie!). L’hôtel et les chambres sont simples mais avec tout ce dont vous avez besoin. Les petit-déjeuners sont copieux et très bons! Vous êtes à 10min à pieds du centre ville. Pour conclure nous recommandons à 2000% cet endroit. Merci à tous!
- Isabelle (10/5): Un beau séjour - Le lieu : l’emplacement est idéal pour se déplacer à pied, à 10min du centre. Le charme de la maison qui est atypique, ça nous fait nous sentir dans un autre temps. Petit plus pour les meubles anciens qui sont ravissants et l’atmosphère, on s’y sent comme à la maison. L’accueil si chaleureux et touchant des filles et de Malik.
Toujours à l’écoute ou ouvert pour des conseils, c’était très sympa et Malik m’a permis de trouver une solution pour réserver le train de Ella, car à la gare plus possible.
Deux excursions avec TukTuk géniales, visite de temples éloignés des circuits touristique et du jardin botanique etc. RAS sauf La chambre est un peu sombre sans fenêtre (bon d’un côté ça évite un peu les moustiques) mais c’est pour y dormir de toute manière.
Pour ceux qui ne sont pas habitué la salle de bain de la chambre individuelle est rudimentaire. Mais la période Covid a été bien évidemment un gros trou et néfaste pour certains petits hôtels comme celui-ci. Avoir l’esprit conciliant et ne pas trop lire les avis négatifs :)
- Lutz (9/5): Jederzeit wieder! - Besonders prima waren die Organisation einer Tour in die Knuckles sowie die kurzfristige Besorgung eines Zugtickets nach Nuwara Eliya (inklusive unserer Fahrräder) durch den sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Besitzer Malik - soweit wir beurteilen können, war das auch ziemlich aufwendig....
Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und umfangreich. nichts
- Arthur Azar Raphael (10/5): Very good experience 👌🏼 - We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The breakfast was very good, the rooms and facilities were spotless, and the location is excellent — just a short walk from the city center. The staff were all extremely kind and helpful, which made us feel very welcome. A special mention to Malik, who knows the region inside out, can easily arrange activities, and speaks French — something we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and we highly recommend this place.
- Nils (8/5): Très bon séjour pour une ou deux nuits - Personnel très sympathique et qui peut vous aider ! La propreté de la salle de bain laissait un peu à désirer et l’emplacement n’est pas idéal
- fillaudeau (10/5): -
- Caroline (9/5): - Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel idéalement situé : le lac est à environ 5 minutes à pied et le centre-ville à un petit quart d’heure, ce qui permet de tout faire facilement sans transport. Les espaces communs sont très agréables et invitent à la détente après une journée de visites.
Le restaurant est une belle surprise : la cuisine locale est savoureuse et, pour varier un peu, ils proposent même de délicieuses pizzas, parfaites pour faire une petite pause entre deux currys !
L’accueil a été remarquable : l’hôtel est venu nous chercher directement à l’arrêt de bus en tuktuk, ce qui a été très appréciable. Nous avons également eu la chance de rencontrer Malik, un francophone charmant et plein d’attentions, qui nous a donné de précieux conseils sur notre programme et organisé pour nous quelques excursions mémorables. Un grand merci à lui et à toute son équipe !
La chambre est simple mais dispose de tout le nécessaire : un ventilateur est inclus et la climatisation est disponible en supplément. Bref, une adresse chaleureuse et pratique que nous recommandons vivement !
- Thierry (9/5): - Délicieux petits déjeuners. Personnel très accueillant et gentil.
- nathalie (8/5): - Très bon emplacement à quelques pas du lac de Kandy. Déplacements vers le centre à pieds possibles. Terrasse extérieure très agréable et personnel sympathique. Chambres assez sommaires mais l essentiel y était.
- Esra (4/5): Disappointing -
- Usha (3/5): Not worth the cheap budget! - The location was ideal. Here’s an improved version of your text:
The condition of the place was poor and very run-down. Posters advertising excursions were plastered everywhere, constantly in your face. I requested to leave as soon as I arrived, but they refused to refund me, despite their policy allowing cancellations at any time.
The Wi-Fi was completely unreliable, which is a major issue for remote workers like myself.
Hot water was inconsistent. I had booked a room with an en-suite, but the bathroom was actually located outside the room and shared with other guests. It was not cleaned between my stays, and the smell from the bathroom was unbearable.
The layout of the property made it incredibly noisy; you could hear everything, including the sound of rain falling on the plastic roof.
- Micha (6/5): Okay for 1-2 nights - Well located, close to the center and Kandy lake. Wifi didn't work, bad smell in the bathroom, first time in Sri Lanka a hotel added 10% service charge. Mosquito net was not very nice/practical. To use the AC you pay 10$ extra per night. Overall we've stayed in better places for the same price in Sri Lanka.
- Jasper (3/5): Very badly maintained - Location is good: 5min walk to lake and about 20min to Temple of Tooth. Genuine nice people. Owner handled disagreement we had about the room very patiently. Cannot recommend at all. Property very badly maintained. Room windows couldn't close, shower didn't work, room full of sand when arriving, cockroach in the room. Extremely overpriced, by far most worse price/quality ratio I've seen in Sri Lanka. Use of AC 5 USD per night.
- Holly (8/5): Very good -
- Konstantina (3/5): The mold was everywhere - Truly one of the worst places I have ever stayed.
Completely dirty, there was pee on the toilet seat, the bedsheets had weird stains and smell and the worst of all was the inexplicable amount of mold everywhere in the room, we both woke up sick and couldn't breath. Even though we had paid for 2 nights we preferred to skip the second one and book a different place.
- Philipp (7/5): Good - Very friendly owners. The rooms with windows to the street are spacious. The cheapest are a bit to claustrophobic for me but ok.
- Anne (8/5): Handy location, great staff and Malik has a wonderful sense of humour! - Location was wonderful, staff were amazing and there was free pick up from the bus station. The restaurant served great food. Malik also offered to get train tickets for us from Kandy to Ella. Our tuk tuk tour with Imran was super and would highly recommend. Naphthalene balls in the room
- Sophia (6/5): Pleasant -
- Rebecca (8/5): Very good - Malik and his brother where really helpful. The room was good and the food in the restaurant too. Something I would highly recommand is a massage. It was so good!
- Elise (10/5): We stayed there 2 days, the room are spacious and there is AC. It is very well located close to the center of Kandy. Big - Everything is made to make your stay the most comfortable and smooth as possible. Malik is a great host and always tries his best to arrange you and find you the best plans !!
- Helene (6/5): Pleasant - Good value for money. Friendly staff.
Good location near the lake against the hill. Air-conditioning is extra 10-15 USD.
- Mohamed (8/5): Nice place to stay - It was good being there. I only stayed there for a day and the staff was very nice. The room I was in was good enough for a day, maybe I would have picked a bigger room if I stayed longer. The terrace is very nice and it’s close to the city center (about 10 minutes to get to the train station by Tuk Tuk). The seperate bathroom weren’t attached to the room and I had to take a corridor to get there but it’s close to the room anyway.
- Yassir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Florence (4/5): Disappointing - The location and the drinkable water available Not clean and insects in the room
- Matthew (8/5): Very relaxing and peaceful. - Friendly staff, great location The steep walk uphill!
- Paillares (10/5): Exceptional -
- Monique (4/5): Triste sejour - Nettement en dessous des commentaires formulés par les précédents voyageurs.
Réveil en fanfare à 6h30 (ecole de musique à proximité ? ).
Aboiements des chiens des alentours une grande partie de la nuit.
Odeurs d’égouts dans la chambre à partir du soir.
Indifférence du personnel.
- Rabea (2/5): Nice hostel with nice terasse - Nice terasse restaurant I have been verbally agressed by the owner in front of other customers after he apologized and agree to drop me the next morning at the bus station he never showed up I almost missed my bus hopefully there is karma for people not doing what they committed to do
- Annabel (9/5): Superb - Really decent hotel, the staff are so friendly and amazing to have free pick up from train station. It is in good walking distance from town. Contact them about booking your train ticket as they can organise for cheap so you don’t get ripped off by online websites!!! They also upgraded us to a nicer room for free as it was quiet.
- Jamie (8/5): Great - They were really helpful and even picked us up from the bus station. We got an in house massage which was very nice. The bathroom had no windows so it was a bit moist
- Samuel (10/5): A lovely stay with great hosts - The staff were incredibly helpful and were able to arrange a free pick up when I arrived, as well as further excursions throughout my stay. The food was really good and the room was comfortable and clean. The hotel is in a great location and is very peaceful. Nothing
- Molly (7/5): Good -
- Aaron (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sara (8/5): Great property and location and great value for money. - Great location, friendly staff (who helped organise activities) delicious breakfast available (monkey watching every morning) lovely big terraces and communal areas to spend time in. Free water in reception! The rooms were very basic and not very sound proof.
- Waruna (8/5): Very good - All good He asked more money than Booking.com website
I really can’t understand
- Tej (8/5): Very good -
- Tej (8/5): Very good -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- A.a.ardebili (7/5): Good - Staff
Balcony Some insects were around in shower
- Aisa (9/5): Superb - Malik (the host) was very friendly and helpful. I had to go to the hospital for a vaccination and he went with us and helped a lot when we were there. Also speaks perfect english, and always up for a joke. The room was perfectly ok for a short stay in ella.
- Jervois (9/5): Superb - Malik was a very good host with a very good knowledge of Sri Lanka and knew everything about everything from local gems, textiles, and politics a well. He was a very good guide and I would highly recommend him.
- Analena (6/5): Basic stay in Kandy - Very good breakfast, staff was caring and helped in any situation
- Nicole (8/5): Good rooms, food expensive but with a very good reason - The staff was very kind. Rooms are big and clean. Food was expensive but with a very good reason: they buy the best produce and don't re-use the cooking oil. Next to that, the food inflation in Sri Lanka also contributes to the price.
Easy walk to the city centre and we were happy we weren't staying in the city centre. Lounge spots weren't super comfortable. Wifi didn't reach up till the room
- Florian (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly and helpful staff.
Great food
- Hendrik (9/5): Superb - Very helpful and kind staff. Good and quiet ocation near lake. Much is in walkable distance. Lots of possibilities for sitting inside or at the outside space of the hotel.
- Howard (8/5): Very good -
- Sheena (9/5): Superb -
- Desirée (10/5): friendly budget home stay - the staff, the food, the location having to leave
- Liam (8/5): Very good -
- witharane (10/5): - Liked everything about the guest house. Good value nice and friendly staff.
- Mahalingam (8/5): Very good -
- Robert (9/5): Superb - great location, close walk to the lake, very friendly people and great food!
- Luna (9/5): Superb -
- Segolene (10/5): great ! I recommand for backpacker and small budget ! - the host are amazing, very kind, they give advice and help you for your trip .
breakfast is great
many terrace et living room
- Ekanayake (10/5): Great Hotel for travellers - Everything None
- Chandika (7/5): Good - Location is very good. near to nuwara tank & small distance from town Water presure is low in bathroom shower. Older round plug point there, not up to date.
- Experiential (6/5): Pleasant -
- Verified traveler (8/5): Friendly hotel - Everyone was so helpful. We forgot to hand our key in at the end of our stay and staff did everything to assist! Thank you!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Verryyyy basic - Stayed in the standard double room for our 2 night stay in Kandy.
Wifi in restaurant was poor, only other public area was their front desk room with only 1 couch and 2 chairs, ovbiously not enough.
Our room didnt come close to looking like the pictures shown. We had a really old desk fan, no ceiling fan! It was hot to say the least. Im pretty sure they put us up in the staff quarters up the back as walking around, the rooms that were part of the main building were different. Maybe those rooms are offered to tourist that walk by and are charged higher price. Bedding was clean i guess. No real positives about the room.
We werent able to get train tickets to kandy however one of the staff was able to get some reserved seating ones on the day, extra 1000 rupees of course added for this service.
Restaurant was decent, nothing to rave about.
Front desk people barely there.
Had we received a room like what we thought we had paid for, perhaps this would be a better review for them. Would not recommend this place. Theres a rooftop bar in the hotel across the street
- Pamela (10/5): Nice little guesthouse good location - Very friendly and helpful. No WiFi in my room only in public areas but that was fine. Good breakfast didn’t eat there in the evening. Good quiet location. Would recommend for the price good cake for money.
- Lexie (8/5): Simple, Safe and Comfortable - Located up the hill off the main lake road, the location is quiet but easily accesible. My room was spacious and extremely clean. The bedding was in good shape and after an exhausting few days of travel I slept very well. As a solo female traveller I felt safe here.
There was a nice big fan and mosquito net in the room, although the latter wasn't required. The bathroom is basic, but again very clean and sufficient. The shower was decent enough and there was hot water.
There is a nice terrace and small resturant serving throughout the day. I found the Sri Lankan meals better than the others - had a great vegetable curry with generous servings and delicious hoppers, dhal and sambal for breakfast. European breakfast is also on offer and isn't too bad. If you pay a few dollars more the breakfast is included with your room. The little resident squirrel shared my left over sambal.
There are a number of tuk tuks and other drivers available to take tours if you're into that. I didn't use their services as all places in and around Kandy are accesible by public transport - much more fun!
This is a budget hotel so you cannot expect luxury or to get additional services like food and tours for free. I found everything was as expected for the price and thought it was one of the best hotels I stayed at in Sri Lanka in this price range. I would stay again if I came back to Kandy and would recommend to others for sure.
- Verified traveler (6/5): A bit old, but functional - Clean for Sri Lanka conditions, walking distance to a lot of Sightseeing spots, reasonable restaurant
- Verified traveler (8/5): einfaches Hotel in gute Lage - ein sehr gute Preis/Leistung verhältnis.
Sauber, einfach, freundliches Personal. Immer hilfsbereit.
Eine Tolle Terrase zum entspannen.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Cheap and cheerful - Good value hotel. My room had drain smells, and I could hear traffic outside, went quiet after 11pm. I would use again, and as for different room. Staff very friendly.
- Uta (6/5): Einfaches Hotel in guter Lage - Das Hotel liegt zentral, aber ruhig, die Zimmer sind einfach und sauber, zum Teil geräumig, die Bäder teilweise mit Schimmelbefall. Die Zimmer werden auf Wunsch jederzeit gereinigt. Restaurant und Dachterrasse sehr gemütlich, leider wurde die Aussicht vom Hotelneubau gegenüber verbaut. Der Besitzer, Malik, bietet gute,günstige Touren an. Insgesamt für den Preis eine ordentliche Unterkunft.
- Esther (8/5): Underwhelming - The room definitely feel budget and the hotel itself is a bit of a warren with stairs going everywhere. The terrace and restaurant are comfortable and have good wifi which the room doesn't. All in all this hotel is underwhelming.
- Esther (6/5): Not fancy but comfortable - Nice enough room for. Budget hotel. Wifi was good in public areas but not our room.
- Gretchen (6/5): Kandy is Overpriced - The room was overpriced--dark with lots of noise due to the way it faced the interior. None of the alternative choices were any better. The staff were very nice and helpful though.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Ei sijaa selittelyille - Mukava omistaja ja osaava vastaanottovirkailija eivät onnistuneet pelastamaan katastrofaalista kokonaisuutta. Hotelli onnistuu alittamaan riman lähes jokaisessa majoitusliikkeen toiminnan osa-alueessa. Koko fasiliteetin kunto on heikko. Huoneessa ja kylpyhuoneessa ei ollut sänkyä lukuunottamatta mikään kunnossa: viemärit rohisivat, ovet ja hyllyt olivat vinksallaan, kylpyhuoneen ovea oli lähes mahdotonta saada hakaan jne. Aamiainen oli onneton - pöydän vaatimattomat antimet olivat koko ajan lopussa, kahvi kelvotonta ja maut kaikkea muuta kuin kohdallaan (paitsi pannukakku). Huoneesta maksettu hinta on rosvousta. En ole montaa kertaa kymmenien vuosien aikana matkustellessani joutunut maksamaan vastaavaa hintaa näin huonotasoisesta majoituksesta.
- Yu (10/5): - Good bang for the buck. The staff go out of their way to be helpful. Definitely coming back for the next stay.
