Reviews of e-stay Hanthana Kandy

Oshan and his family welcomed and hosted us like one of their own. They gave us wonderful recommendations for Kandy and even organized the trip for us. Such a lovely family who truly care about making their guests happy. At breakfast, we had the chance to try carefully prepared local flavors. You will feel just like in your second home.

We had a very nice stay at e-stay in Kandy. The host family was more than friendly and it felt like home to us very soon and easily. Our room was big, clean and had a great view from the nice balkony. We had a very good breakfast. We wished that we could stay for another night.

The e-stay is not in the city center but it is only a 10 minute Tuktuk ride and wasn't a problem for us. It was a quiet and peaceful place. Be careful in the shower, the floor can be very slippery ;)

The accommodation was very clean, and the host family was lovely. Oshan organised transportation for us. They provided a lovely breakfast and scrumptious tea. Highly recommend staying here.

This home stay is thankfully out of the chaos of the city but the host hooked us up with a tuk tuk driver who picked us up at the train station and delivered us to the lodging. The next day , for $22 US, the driver drove us all over Kandy to see all the sites. It was a perfect day.

The hosts were amazing. They were very friendly. They answered all of our questions about the Tooth Temple. They also answered our questions for the rest of our trip in other cities and they advised us on specific destinations. The room was also extremely clean.

Warm welcome, friendly family and clean, comfortable room. The evening meal.and breakfast were delicious, we would definitely stay again ! Thank you

The owners are really nice and helpful people. We felt really welcomed. View from the balcony was outstanding. The room itself was really good.

The location is on the hill, so it generally took longer and more expensive to get a taxi / tuk tuk. However, it wasn't a great inconvenience.

Everything was perfect. The host and his family were so friendly and welcoming. We felt so good during our time there. You need to eat dinner at the place- just Perfect.

Nothing!!!

Friendly and welcoming host, room with a view and a fantastic breakfast! We loved our stay here, the hosts were most helpful with arranging tuk tuks into town and to the train station to catch the train to Ella the next day.

A lovely place set just a few minutes out of the hustle and bustle of Kandy in the hills. We only stayed one night but loved it here. Oshan was a great host and he and his family were so welcoming and friendly and spoke great English. Great traditional breakfast too. Would definitely stay again

A very peaceful location which is a blessing which is not in the very busy centre. 10 minute tuk tuk ride from Kandy, really is not a problem. Beautiful room overlooking trees and if you are lucky you will see the odd monkey. Morning sounds you hear are the birds so beautiful. Breakfast first class just like a Hotel. Oshan and his beautiful family are such wonderful people, so friendly nothing is too much trouble for them. You can actually walk slowly down the hill into Kandy with the beautiful views at the side of the road if you wanted to.

There is nothing to dislike about this accommodation! First Class.

Oshan and his family made me feel welcome even before arrived. Oshan arranged for me to be picked up from the train station and offered dinner after I arrived. The guesthouse is located in the peaceful hills above Kandy and Oshan’s father is a very keen advocate for the surrounding environment. A highlight for me was hiking the first stage of the Pekoe Trail with him. All of the Sri Lankan dishes prepared by Oshan’s mother were delicious which made eating at the guesthouse a great option. Oshan is keen to assist with his superb local knowledge, arranging tours and helping to organise travel from Kandy. This type of assistance makes travelling in Sri Lanka so much easier. The room I stayed in had a great balcony overlooking forest which was a lovely place to sit and relax.

A true, genuine, authentic, lovely homestay. It was so nice to be around all the family! Mom and Oshan's wife prepared meals, Dad offers hike to Pekoe Stage 1 viewpoint. Oshan is around for anything and everything. All speak great English. Teamwork=dreamwork!

Nothing!

Our stay was truly delightful. The service was impeccable, with genuine kindness at every turn. Oshan and his family are adorable and we will remember them for a long time.Highly recommend for anyone seeking a warm, memorable experience.

The whole family were very welcoming and attentive. They offered us to join to go hiking on Pekkoe stage 1 trail. The room was comfortable with nice balcony and jungle view. Highly recommended place to stay!

Beautiful place. Very friendly people. The best local breakfasts. If you want, they will organize additional transport to any place at an affordable price. We recommend. Dorota and Janusz

Oshan and his lovely family were extremely welcoming, warm and friendly. They offered assistance and advice about things to see and do in Kandy, and sourced tuk tuk drivers whenever we needed one. The room was extremely clean and tidy and well appointed. We especially loved the balcony and being able to see across the tree tops and observe the colourful birds in the trees. The breakfasts were delicious with a wide range of Sri Lankan food like roti, curried vegetables, hoppers with eggs, range of juices etc, yum yum yum ! We ate in the family dining room and chatted with his family who were so friendly. It made us feel very valued as guests. We would definitely come again 😁. We enjoyed the quietness and being away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Some tuk tuk drivers had a little trouble finding the house...we had to direct them so advise guests to take a mental note of the location and local signage to help. Not a big issue as they always got there !

Cannot praise this place highly enough. Modern clean and comfortable en suite room in a family home. The room feels separate from the home so you don't feel you're intruding & have privacy. Oshan and his family are warm, welcoming and easy going. They are full of knowledge and advice to make the most of your visit. The home is located high on a hillside over Kandy a short tuk tuk ride from the bustle of the city.

We really struggled to find any negatives. All we can say was the 2 nights we were there were very windy making it difficult to enjoy the private balcony and quite noisy through the night. A very small negative in a lovely stay.

A wonderful room with a great balcony. The place is very comfortable and clean. Oshan and his family are exceptionally welcoming and friendly hosts. We appreciated that they took the time to visit with us. We felt at home during our stay. Oshan arranged a driver to take us to our next destination. The breakfasts were excellent as was the dinner we ate on site. Kandy is a very hectic city so staying a short distance outside the centre was a gift. Oshan arranged tuk tuk rides into town and back, so the location was perfect. After staying for four nights ( we enjoyed the place so much we extended our stay) we felt like we were saying goodbye to new friends when we left. We hope to return.

The owners were some of the nicest and sweetest people we meet in Sri Lanka. We really wish we had more time to stay here. The room was simple but nice, and had a fabulous balcony with a great nature view. They made us a very tasty dinner which they let us enjoy in the balcony. Would definitely recommend you stay here.

It’s a bit out of Kandy on a hill, so only accessible by car or tuk tuk.

Big room and best breakfast in srilanka.

Far from the city.

Beautiful home stay. very kind family just like you visited your own family. they made us tea on our arrival and invited us to have tea in thier home..Its a beautiful view from balcony.. breakfast was great and delicious specially hopper that I asked for recipe! 🙂 the property is on the hill but with tuktuk just few minutes away to downtown. They recommended a tuktuk driver who we used him most of the time and he drove us to Kandy. Ask for him. He is reliable. Don't eat at big hotel near by, unlike thier 5 stars food was not good but great view. Thanks for your hospitality Zara and Bruce
