Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The view was amazing, both from our room and the rooftop restaurant. Room was clean, good AC. Balcony was a good addition. Staff and food at the restaurant were great.
Slightly outside the main Kandy strip of shops/restaurants, but pretty close to the Tooth Temple and Kandy Lake.
In der Nähe von der Stadt und was Frühstück war super. Das Personal war immer sehr nett und Hilfsbereit. Vor allem Chamara und Manoj haben mir geholfen meine Ausflüge zu planen und Fahrer zu organisieren.
Ubicación y limpieza
L’hôtel est très bien placé afin d’aller visiter la ville de Kandy ! Une Clim dans la chambre c’était génial ! Endroit plutôt calme pour un hôtel en pleine ville, Restaurant très bon. Petit déjeuner également
Les équipements de la chambre sont vieillissant, la salle de bain est petite et pas très bien agencée, Plutôt propre, Salle pour manger en rooftop bruyante.
Emplacement, chambre propre et spacieuse, restaurant en roof top.
Rien
There was no light around the whole area at night
La vue , le personnel très gentil
Ruime kamer, warm onthaal, leuke rooftop, aangenaam bed
Hygiëne van de kamer en badkamer kon beter, er hing ook een afvoergeur
Hot water was not working!
Tiene un aprobado justo por el buen hacer de los jóvenes trabajadores. La zona del restaurante también estaba bien, era acogedora.
La habitación estaba sucia, mucho. Había muchísimos mosquitos. El baño olía fatal, a comida frita.
Super clean room and comfy bed. Staff weren’t friendly offering welcome drinks. Room overlooks the town and you see a bit of the hustle from the heart of the town kandy. Restaurant has amazing food! Some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka
Nothing!
It has a cool rooftop bar and the location is very nice, ac works well beautiful view from balcony.
The rooftop bars sick but they turn the lift off at 10pm so good luck if you’re on third floor. The bathroom, lift and hallway stink of damp and moss. Bathroom was definitely cleaned in 2024.
Everything is good! If a television can be added to the room it will more convenient.
It’s located in quiet location yet close enough to explore the city by foot. The staff is friendly and good value for money !

The location and how cozy the place is and the rooftop view. Clean rooms.
They had to close the rooftop restaurant early on a Friday as I was the only customer, I moved to the hotel from the city pub to have a few drinks in the night but that was disrupted.
Clean and minimal but comfortable bedroom. Amazing staff and food.
N/A
Top, moderne, jolie vue, staff agréable
Salle de bain très odorante
More modern but starting to show signs of wear and tear
The bathroom had a horrible smell coming from the drains and wasn’t clean
Great location, and very neat, spacious, and clean rooms.
Only small thing I can think of is that on this occasion, the staff were a bit inexperienced.
The location is definitely the biggest selling point. It’s very close to the city, right near the bus route, making transport incredibly easy. It is also very affordable, making it a decent budget option if you just need a quick place to crash
The amenities and service left a lot to be desired. The water pressure in the bathroom was very low, and when we complained about it, the staff gave no response or assistance. Additionally, there was zero housekeeping provided during our 2-night stay, and our package didn't include water heating. The Wi-Fi speed was just average.
Very nice location. Good views in the heart of the city.
The staff were genuinely warm and helpful, and the room was clean, comfortable, and cosy with a lovely view. Having stayed in the bunk beds previously, I can say the private room was a solid step up- still great value. But the real star of the show was the rooftop café. I've eaten at some of the best spots in Colombo, and this place sitting outside Colombo, holds its own completely. The food is an absolute revelation: generous portions, outstanding quality, and presentation that punches well above the price point. It is, without exaggeration, the kind of meal that makes you want to cancel your plans and just stay another day. They also delivered room service promptly, and even that was fantastic. The views from the rooftop are the kind that make you put your phone down and just be there.
No on-site staff after around 10–10:30pm, which was inconvenient as I was travelling for work and returning late - but they did keep the door open for me because I mentioned it! Thank you for that. The walk-in closet area near the entrance had a noticeable amount of dust in my room my travel partner is allergic, and it was a real issue. A chair on the balcony would also be a nice touch. But the biggest disappointment: the café is listed as open until 11pm. We arrived at 10:20pm on the Sunday we stayed and were turned away — they were already closing up. We ended up ordering Uber Eats for dinner at a place with a rooftop café that was supposedly still open. If you list 11pm, you need to honour 11pm.
Great room with clean, premium bedding. The food from the rooftop restaurant and service was excellent. It also has a co-working space with ample seating.
Die Unterkunft war geräumig mit gut funktionierender Klimaanlage. Kleinem Balkon, auf den wir die Stühle vom Zimmer gestellt haben☺️ Das Bad war etwas muffig, der Abfluss müsste vllt mal gereinigt werden. Aber sonst vollkommen okay für den Preis. Das Restaurant auf dem Dach hat volle 10 Punkte verdient, wir haben dort zwei mal sehr gut gegessen🤗
Bad etwas muffig.
Clean and nicely maintained.. Easy access to the city and a stunning view of mountains.
I stayed for two days.. would be nice to change the bed sheets at least once between two days.
Habitación, cama y las vistas fueron increíbles
Los precios del bar me parecieron excesivos
The accommodation was as shown in the photos. It’s well located, close to key places to visit, and overall a nice and comfortable place to stay.
Dit hotel is perfect als je even ietswat moderner wilt verblijven, maar ook op je budget wilt letten. De kamer is namelijk erg schoon en netjes en heeft op het dakterras de mogelijkheid om lekker en goed te kunnen eten. Het is lopend goed te doen naar het centrum of met een Tuktuk.
De verkeersdrukte is in de ochtend goed te horen. Het is dus niet heel erg geïsoleerd, maar wel voldoende om goed te kunnen slapen.
Emplacement et service parfait
Sehr sauberes und schönes Hotel, ein bisschen außerhalb der Innenstadt. Die Zimmer sind leider ein bisschen Hellhörig, sonst aber alles top.
Walking distance to tow centre! Great rooftop restaurant with fantastic variety of food plus great coffee and breakfast! Rooms were clean and well maintained, would definitely stay again
Literally nothing
La chambre est très spacieuse et confortable ! Bel emplacement !

Très bruyant... Compliqué si vous avez besoin de dormir...
Very good hospitality and very beautiful room! Our bed was sooo confortable. View from the rooftop was wonderful. Thanks!
这是个新开的酒店,非常出乎我的意料,性价比简直太棒了!是我旅途中最满意的酒店之一。地理位置很棒,员工专业,房间又新又干净,很漂亮,和宣传的一样。最棒的是顶楼的餐厅,饭不贵且非常好吃!第二天的早餐也非常惊艳。当天kandy下雨了,正好晚上我们不用出门就能在酒店用餐喝酒
窗玻璃外的角落有些蜘蛛网可以定期扫一下
Stanza nuova Pulizia impeccabile Buona posizione
I liked the location, away from the hustle and bustle. The rooftop resto bar and view added to the charm. The room is spacious, and I slept like a log on the bed.
At times, there's a waft of sewer smell during the day
It was well located near kandy centre 20min walk to mall with cheap transport links like the bus stop outside which could take you to town for as little as 35lkr. Lovely room balcony with great views. Option of rooftop restaurant but I didn’t use. The restaurant downstairs on the main street “clay pot” had lovely food and customer service.
The sink was blocked however, reported on leaving. The beds could do with a mattress topper for added comfort and softness.
Everything was perfect. The room was clean and comfortable, the location was great, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again
Modern & good location
We booked a deluxe double room for 2 nights. On the first night, water leaked through the window, spreading near electrical plugs and our charging devices. I even slipped at 1am due to the wet floor. Management was informed immediately and promised to fix the issue and offer compensation. That night they offered bunk beds instead of the deluxe double room we paid for, which we refused. Unfortunately, the next day, when we asked about changing rooms, they acted as if they were unaware of the issue and said we should have informed them again in the morning and kept on blaming my partner that he should have acted first thing in the morning about this. When i was assertive with the manager or owner- he apologized and said it was miss communication between night staff and day staff, and us. That night also, AC stopped working due to water affecting the electricity, and we were told this was “normal,” yet advised not to charge our devices. Next day, the room was not properly cleaned despite the water and damp towels. At checkout, they offered free breakfast, but our taxi was arriving at that time.
I extended the stay for 3 more nights. Supper nice, as mentioned the bed could have been more comfortable and less stiff. The rest is amazing.
nice place to stay, friendly staff, generally very good, locations is also supper convenient
the bed is not comfy, very stiff
Helpful staff, resolved any issues quickly. Large comfortable, well-equipt room.
Room had various cleanliness issues on arrival (brown substance smeared across light switch, bad smelling stain on sheets, urine smell in bathroom), but staff resolved these when contacted. Only real issue with room was that shower cubicle has a full lenth window to the street with a curtian that doesn't fully cover it. Some damp / drain smells persisted in the bathroom but this was bearable.
Le côté assez moderne de l’établissement le rooftop pour les repas par ailleurs délicieux et copieux, la super musique, et le petit dortoir cosy dans un endroit frais et calme tout proche du cœur de la ville !
Très bien situé géographiquement et literie confortable. Chambre basique mais avec tout le nécessaire.
Chambre donnant sur un mur et décoration froide.
Good location, big room, stunning view from the rooftop.
It’s a large company, don’t expect a local Sri Lankan experience.
Overly priced to deceive foreigners who are not aware of the cost involved in authentic food
The best stairs to go up on the bed, that I have ever seen. There is a lovely restaurant on rooftop. Very near to kandy lake and city centre.
I liked that the room was clean! The bedding was clean! The bathroom was clean and had warm water! There was a fan and an AC! The staff were very nice and accommodating. My partner and I got given fresh juice on arrival. The location was also decent, we were a quick walk away from the tooth temple and lake, also near a great dosa and curry place! We could also easily get a Tuktuk when we felt it was a bit too hot in Kandy to walk.
Nothing, Everything was amazing
Clean modern bedrooms with great view.
Slightly dirtier than images but nothing horrendous.
Clean and nice rooms, beautiful roof top Terrasse
Too loud music on the rooftop - I’d like to be able to have a conversation. Pls improve your internet - my Dialog SIM card was so much better I could not do any calls
Hotel restaurant was amazing, best cocktails I tried in Sri Lanka! Staff super friendly and the rooms were super comfy
Lovely staff, amazing hostel quality, felt like a hotel.
No social element - feels like a hotel, not hostel. I liked this but some may not.
I stayed in a dorm room at Kurumbunkz for 3 nights and had a great experience. The room and the attached bathroom were super clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and responsive whenever I interacted. The location is also super convenient with a 5-minute tuk ride to the city.
The bed was a little too hard for my preference. Also worth noting is that if you're looking for the typical social and community-oriented hotel atmosphere as a solo traveler, Kurumbunkz may not be the ideal place. But if you want a quiet & comfortable or budget-friendly place to stay with your friends, this could be a great fit. Although not directly related to the hostel, I found the food in their rooftop restaurant to be subpar.
The environment was very chic and clean. First day I stayed in dorm and the room was clean, comfortable bed, bathroom in good and clean condition. Then I decided to stay in the next day through booking.com for the deluxe private room. It was amazing with comfortable bed, ample space and clean. Besides, the location it’s so strategic and you can just go to Kandy lake just by walking distance. Friendly staff that willing to help. I would say that the staff went beyond and above to help for the transportation and also the location that you planned to go. Whatever you have any queries they are trying their best to help you 👍
Nothing I can comment about it
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.
Shower curtain can be little tricky to close completely.
This time I stayed in the private room instead of the dorm, and I think it was a great value stay! Room was big, well lit, and had very comfortable bedding. A big wardrobe as well, so you can hang/store your things pretty conveniently.
Nothing.
Location is good for the temple and the food is lovely
Friendly staff. Nice location with good clean room.
Very clean, and air conditioned property. Conveniently located within walking distance to the temple of the tooth. The design is modern and detail oriented.
The cleaners of the rooms, friendly staff. You can feel it's a brand new hostel
Overcharged my laundry and still drirty
