The owner of the Hostel Mr PRABATH (+94767059575) with whom I communicated through the app and WhatsApp after making the reservation (BOOKING) told him that the train from ELLA arrived at 6: 30 p.m. But with so much rain, I arrived in KANDY at 7: 30 p.m. I gave him notice and explained the situation, telling him that I would arrive at 8 p.m, to which he told me that he was waiting for me, but when I arrived at the indicated time, he demanded that I cancel the BOOKING reservation. Otherwise I couldn't enter because check-in had finished and the Hostel was closed if I didn't cancel. Of course I did not agree and I was able to stay in another hotel in the rain at 9: 30 p.m. SR PRABATH along with BOOKING who ignored the problem and never responded to the countless complaints nor took charge of the expenses incurred. Both are highly unrecommended and scam partners who continue to advertise this Hostel located in a horrible area.

I was standing on the door for about 30 mins they didn't respond to the bell later when i called the owner coz i needed a room badly later she picked it up said its close bt it wasn't its better to Go To Nap Station Which is around 1.3 Km from The Bus Station Nice and Awesome Dormitory option

AVOID THIS PLACE! After booking they asked me for my ETA and my whatsapp. I provided both and arrived at the place at the time I indicated. The place was closed, a locked gate and super empty. It seems it doesn't work at all, but they are on booking platforms trying to catch some customers. I called many times until a guy with almost no english picked up. He started to tell me to go somewhere else to meet him and some other nonsense. I had to book somewhere else. The location is awful too, not worth going there under no circumstances.

The place was so dirty and the owner was too bad too. I booked one room with twin bed and i called him in advance to go there. When I arrived he told me that the room i booked was already occupied and asked me more money to give another room or asked me to find another place. Finally he gave me such a dirty room without cleaning. The wash room was so bad. The most worst room i have ever been into. Disgusting. They haven't removed the trash inside the room and there were some foods which were spoiled for few days. And all around the room there were cigarette filters. And eventhough they have mentioned that they will provide towels and bedsheets they didn't give us anything. No hot water too. All in all its not worth of atleast for about 4 USD. Idk what, there were blood dots like thing on the floor everywhere. I will never recommend such a place to anyone.

The place is not cleaned enough, beds should be improved actually cannot recommend for both local and international tourists. NOT RECOMMENDED

The owner is the worst. I spoke to him before going to the hostel and he told to come in the morning. So in the morning before I left my previous place I texted him saying I'm coming and he told to come but when I arrived at the hostel the owner wasn't there. After calling him he told to sit in the lobby and wait till he comes at night to give the key. What a scumbag, highly recommend not going there, even the place was dirty and not even worth 2usd, better off the sleep on the road

Good for the price, you can’t beat it really. You definitely get what you pay for though. Don’t expect any luxury, but if you’re on a budget then this is a great place. Excellent location close to town. We stayed in a private room and the beds were a little bit hard and the internet didn’t work in our room. Toilets and showers are also not the cleanest. But we paid less then $5usd a night, so can’t complain about it.

The moment i entered with my foreign friend the rooms were not clean and the bed covers had yellowish patches do not know from what! My friend refused to stay here because it looks so unclean and unkept. 0 for cleanliness

It is the cheapest in Sri Lanka 2 dollars the night but you have to live with 12 more people, it is dormitory. There are 2 toilets and 2 showers for all and a nice balcony.
But staying in Kandy many days it is not interesting! You better go to visit the beaches. I recommend Pitiwella beach, it is 7 kilometers after Hikkaduwa!

Except from the location the hospitality for the guests is very poor as we have to wait for bed sheets 7 hours. The Manager was not there and after so many telephone calls arrived late and started arguing with the foreigners guests.
