Set in Kandy, 1.8 km from Kandy railway station, Ku'Vana Hostel Kandy offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is situated 2.5 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall, 4.2 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 4.9 km from Ceylon Tea Museum. The property is non-smoking and is located 2.3 km from Bogambara Stadium. Our stay at Ku’Vana Hostel Kandy was truly enjoyable. The room is simple and very comfortable, with clean and cozy beds that made for a good night’s sleep. Bathrooms are well maintained and tended to daily, which we really appreciated. The facilities are straightforward, but everything worked smoothly, and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The location is excellent just a short distance from the city centre, making it easy to explore Kandy, yet still quiet enough to enjoy some peace. What really stood out was the hospitality. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfast each morning was a highlight delicious, generous, and a great start to the day. For the price this hostel offers exceptional value. Clean, convenient, and filled with genuine hospitality it felt more like staying with friends than in a hostel. We would definitely choose to stay here again when we return to Kandy.
