I will definitely recommend to stay at Lazy Bear hostel. Nice big clean house next to Kandy Lake, quiet place and the staff is really nice. I had a great time with Nihal , he always wants you to have the best experience and he will do anything to make you happy. I will go back to Lazy bear hostel when I will be back to Kandy.

Nihal, the owner, took care of me right from my arrival till I left the property. Upon arrival, he greeted me warmly and offered me a pot of coffee. We then talked for several minutes like we were old friends who’ve just reunited! The next day, when it was time for me to leave, he talked to my ride to make sure I arrive at the train station on time. He also helped me carry my luggage. Nihal is such a great person! The property itself is located on a hill with a nice view of the other hill surrounding the Kandy Lake. I really liked the vibe of the property - it is serene and green. It is also just a 20 min walk to the Temple of the Tooth Relic! While others here lamented about the fact that it’s a 20 min walk, I on the other hand enjoyed the walk around the lake. At night, I just took the cab back to the property and it costed only US$1. The room is also big and the bathroom is clean. Hot water is also working.

It's a nice walk to the city center. It's not too far, but still a 20 min walk.

The owner is really friendly. The hostel is nice and it's a really good value. Not a lot of people in every dorm. Loved the views and the tranquility.

Best hostel in Kandy!!! The rooms are clean and comfortable, good wifi and beautiful mountain views. I'm so thankful for the hospitality and care they took for me when I got really sick, buying me food and medicine. The location is outside from town making it perfect for a good night sleep. Would highly recommend :)

The bed sheets could have been cleaner.

At arrival we were greeted with a really tasty pot of tea and coffee, nicely served in a separate area with a view on Kandy. The lady was always around to help and made us feel comfortable (extra soap, bananas, tea).

Perfect location. Close to town but quiet in a good neighbourhood. Nihal and Ashoka couldn't do enough for me. They are both very kind. The room was a good size and clean.

20 minute walk from the city, but can easily be reached by tuk tuk for ~400RS

Very nice owner, gave me coffee upon arrival and gave great local recommendations. Very clean and well-maintained property, perfect choice to stay for a few days. Nice lounge areas, nice view. Felt perfectly at home

Everything, but especially the host with his hospitality

Wauw, this place is something else! I have traveled for a long time now and this is the first place which felt like my real home. The host is giving you the best time and really cares for you. If you want to escape the hectic Kandy and come to peace, this is your place. I came back to this place for three times already and the new booking is made! Thank you Nihal for taking care of me and your excellent hospitality! You’re something else!!!!! Luckily it was not a goodbye, but a see you soon!

I think the cleaning was done regularly and although the faciities felt a bit outdated, cant say that I did not have a very comfortable stay and sleep. Complimentary coffee when checking in and walking distance to the lake, was great!

Nihal the owner is so friendly and chatty and always there offering you tea/coffee. He can give you recommendations for things to do and see and places to eat. The hostel is clean and comfortable about 15min walk to Temple of the Tooth and from there you can walk all round the lake and to the different attractions round the town and the view points. If walking isn't your thing there are tuk tuk tour options instead but personally I walked everywhere.

Mrs. and Mr. Nihal were very respectful, kind and loving and I will never forget their kindness. I was satisfied with everything and everything was perfect. thanks a lot

I just loved the building, where this hostel is located. There is one huge common area, one smaller one and balcony with view to Kandy. In this area you can find several restaurants, grocery store, bakery and fruit store.
