    One of the best places we’ve been in Sri Lanka. The host is the most charming and attentive person we’ve met, always making sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, the room was very comfortable with a lovely terrace, and the location is great, just a 20 minutes walk to the center. Couldn’t ask for more! Thank you for everything :)

    The host was very helpful. He arranged all our trips in and around Kandy. Thanks to him, we discovered everything the city has to offer. He also recommended a restaurant nearby - excellent. The room was spacious, clean and functional. He helped us catch the train the next day. The breakfast was good ! If I ever come back to Kandy, I'll definitely stay with him!

    We had a great time at his place! The host is absolutely wonderful—super friendly, kind, and takes excellent care of his guests. It was a pleasure to chat with him, and you can tell he's a hardworking and dedicated person. The house is beautiful, with spacious and clean rooms. It’s also in a great location: close to the center, but still in a quiet, peaceful area. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!

    Owner and my stay. Suneth was amazing, he is always ready to help, as soon as I arrived, he welcomed me with passion fruit juice, it was very refreshing. Even though, I stayed for one night, he gave me a detailed map of Kandy, places I can explore within a day. My stay was amazing and I had a great time in kandy, will visit this stay again.

    N/A

    The building is beautiful and the rooms inside even more so. So spacious and clean. At first we were worried about the location, but it is only a 30 minute walk into the centre where the market and restaurants are or of course a couple of pounds tuk tuk ride. But the most amazing part of our stay was the lovely owner Suneth. As soon as we arrived he welcomed us with some fresh juice and we sat and got to know him some more. He is truly the purest soul and kindest man we have met during our travels. He gave us advice about Kandy, helped us with our onward travels and prepared us the best breakfast we’ve had so far. When I couldn’t finish my fruit, he put it in a tub for me so I could take it and eat it on my bus. I urge you to stay with him and experience his hospitality yourself. We will never forget our stay with you Suneth and wish you all the best.

    We had an amazing stay at Chandi Mahals!! The hosts hospitality was truly exceptional, extremely kind and helpful man who went out of his way to make sure we had a good stay. The included breakfast is delicious and such a treat to enjoy home cooked Sri Lankan meals with fresh homemade juices too! He is more than willing to drop you to local attractions and gave us a list of things to see. He arranges it all! Honestly the best place we’ve stayed after a month of traveling Sri Lanka.

    Nothing really. Just a bit noisy because it’s next to a busy street. Not major, but something to consider.

    Very clean and comfortable room. Great wifi and great breakfast. Nice view at the balcony. The owner was very lovely, and greeted us with an amazing homemade fruit.

    The host is very kind. He booked for us two tickets for traditional dances (red cross dancing), and proposed us a good program ! The breakfast is very good ! Called a tuktuk for us to go train station ! Good and clean room ! We recommend earplugs as the road is nearby, but it remains quiet between 11 PM and 6 AM. Thank you so much !

Also the breakfast was unreal every morning! He even kindly made us lunch to take on the train. The room was large and was an easy walk into town

    Because the road is down from the house, it is pretty loud. Also adding an air conditioning would be great, since you can’t have the window open and the smells at evening gets a bit stanky. So the smell and air it the room would be better.

    We loved the owner!!! Seriously, best so far. He was super nice, gave us a lot od really useful tips and helped us with transport (normal prices) and had AMAZING breakfast. The toast with potato is was the best.
