Friendly helpful staff. Free wifi. Free breakfast with the best view in town. Clean comfortable rooms. Easy walk into town, slightly more difficult coming back but do-able. What more could the honest backpacker want? Thoroughly recommended. More

Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing positive about this hotel to report. I highly recommend no one stay there. The first and most distressing reason for avoiding this hotel at all costs, is that they have an intolerable termite infestation problem. There were over 100 termites that took over my room about one hour into my stay, The management was no... More

stayed in this hostel or 'guest house' as they're called in sri lanka. Very clean and spacious and Joseph the manager was incredibly helpful and friendly. He even drove us to the bottom of the hill, on which the hostel is sat in order for us to get a tuk tuk into the centre of Kandy, Important to note a... More

Having recently stayed at the Majestic, I can report really positive things. The hotel has a great view over looking Kandy- it truly is an exceptional location being close to town, but far enough away to enjoy the great views of Kandy (a 3 minute Tuk tuk ride from down town Kandy). Joseph, the owner, made us feel very welcome,... More

If you want to experience all bad things (Hell) please stay here. Drunken manager with Cigar will always wel comes you with all dirty words. Better to stay on roads than staying in this so called Hotel. More

Joseph and Kumari are lovely hosts, and very importantly are genuinely honest people. They want you to have a good experience in Sri Lanka and in their hotel, so they will treat you most fairly and generously. The food is absolutely spectacular, and it is true in this case that "you get what you pay for". Yes, the prices for... More

Multi storied building 1.5 k's out of town so still cheap enough to get to in a tuk tuk. Location makes it very quiet compared to the city centre. Rooftop restaurant with great view serving good food. Rooms simple but satisfactory and very good value for money. The manager Joseph is a wealth of information with excellent English skills, as...

It might be kind of hard to find of you don't know your way around, it's up quite a steep hill and a little ways outside the centre of town - maybe 5-10 min drive from the lake. The rooms were nice but the toilet window was open to the main corridor (curtain and mesh) so the shy bladdered may... More

Hotel is a fair bit further from Kandy than we thought. It means the views are much nicer however we tended to always get a tuk tuk back because its a 15/20 min walk up a dark road otherwise. The room was nice enough - was clean and good mosi net etc. Basic without much furniture but does the trick... More
