“Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

It is a bit difficult to find but it worth it :)

We spent one night there, had a nice dinner with lovely hosts! We had a very good value room (hot water, balcony, A/C) well decorated, nothing to say about it!

You should call them nevertheless because it is quite hard to find (-----)!

“Great Guest House, great staff”

We spent 2 nights here, hotel is a bit far from city centre but the views are really worth it.
Very clean and well decorated rooms and restaurant. Food was the best we had in 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. The Manager/Owner "Anoura" is a great host and we even got some private cooking lessons with him and his cook. Keep up the great work.

“A home away from home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

person found this review helpful

A very lovely small guesthouse with great atmosphere and good views over the Kandy valley.
The location is not a disadvantage in contrary, it's in a very quiet area on top of the Kandy hills, not fare away from the posh Amaya Hill Hotel. There is a bus to town starting 10 minutes walk at the temple.
All the rooms are spacious have a balcony with view, bathroom, very clean an well furnished. We stayed on the top floor enjoing the peacfull athmosphere away from the loud Kandy city.
This personal guesthouse serves very good meals, the curries are fantastic and the owner Anu knows what guests need and tries to help where ever possible.
We would reccommend this place very highly and would deffenitely stay again when in Kandy.

Room Tip: All the rooms are nice with good furniture and even some colors.

We had a wonderful stay at The Change in Kandy. Ani is the best hotel owner, manager and cook in town, who made our stay absolutely memorable!! The rooms are spacious, clean, calm, and are with a great view over the city. Highly recommended to all, even with children.
