Das Hanthana House ist ein wenig vom Stadtzentrum entfernt auf einem HĂŒgel gelegen. Die Lage ist optimal, da die Stadt sehr laut ist. Mit dem Tuktuk kommt man aber schnell ins Zentrum. Die Zimmer sind schön, gepflegt und sauber. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Aussicht auf die HĂŒgellandschaft, was sehr schön war. Das Essen zubereitet von den Gastgebern war fantastisch, es gab auch immer ein reichhaltiges FrĂŒhstĂŒck. Die Unterkunft ist fĂŒr den Preis unschlagbar!
This modern accommodation is reachable via a 15 min TukTuk - Ride from Kandy Center (~300-400 Rupee). When we arrived we were welcomed by the super nice host and his wife with a fruit drink and a sandwich.
What makes this place truly special is not only the amazing view but the Homestay experience. The owner gave us a free upgrade, tips for the city and ordered us a very good TukTuk - driver (400 Rupee) to the city. Besides the great complimentary breakfast, thereâs also the option for a typical Sri Lankian dinner (7$, quite pricey but definitely worth it!). The dining room is next to the kitchen, so we could have a nice talk with the ownerâs wife who is the chef.
The room is clean, has mosquitoes nets and is very comfortable. Furthermore, the private bathroom is modern and hygienic. Additionally the balcony is very nice.
Extra Tip: Next to the house is a beautiful view point reachable in a 20 min. walk from the house. Ask the helpful owner about it, itâs an amazing point to look at the sunset (Donât forget your flashlights for the way back though..)
We would definitely recommend this accommodation and want to say thank you for an unforgettable stay!
Very homely personal attention from Pathi and Suba and their staff. Delicious home-cooked meals prepared in their large family kitchen. Rooms very chic, beds incredibly comfortable. Bathroom amenities also great.
We had a lovely stay at Hathana House. The rooms are very spacious & the views are great. Itâs not walking distance from Kandy, however itâs not far & about $2 CDN in a tuktuk to the town.
The hosts made a delicious curry for dinner and provided a great breakfast in the morning!
The hotel located at the hill of residential area, about 15-20 mins to center Kandy. need to have a good vehicle to climb up to the hotel. have a good view to see the green mountains and hear many birds sing in the morning.
It was the perfect place to start my trip in Sri Lanka. The place is clean and rooms are spacious with a well functioning AC. The food they serve is great, home cooked meal feeling. As this was my first stay in Sri Lanka, they help me organized better my trip, and went out of his way to help me get a window seat at the train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella and this was priceless.
I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Hanthana House. Nestled in the hills, each room has a great view of the surrounding greenery. The host was welcoming from the minute I arrived. The home cook dinner was one of the best meals I had in Sri Lanka. The host also helped arranged for a driver and guide to Dambulla and Sigiriya. My guide, Ayesh, was super knowledgable, extremely patient, and a safe driver.
Our overall experience was mediocre. If not for the service of two employees, it could have been worse. The owner was interested in our ranking more than the service they provided. There was bed linen hanging outside our room to dry. The bathroom is sub par, and there were cockroaches in the cupboard. When told about the spiders, he did not seem to care much about it. However my ranking of the facility was purely because of the exemplary service provided by the kitchen and service staff, Kusuma and Nuwan respectively. They were exceptional. Overall this facility has a lot of room for improvement to reach the level a hotel or even a home stay.
Friendly hosts and yummy meals!
Small room but had everything we needed. No tea and coffee making stuff but the hosts happy to provide!
Very long windy drive to get there and the view was ok but not amazing!
Would stay somewhere closer to town next time!!
Room is clean and bathroom is reasonably big. Our room has a big balcony and good view over the hill. The house is big with a room balcony for yoga. Staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is located furthest at the end of the road. A little difficult to find at night and can only be accessed by car. We really like the place overall.
Great kitchen and host. Host is friendly and helpful. Local travel knowledge is extremely helpful for us. The location of the place is also far away from all the buzz. Serene!
Lovely newly built rooms with great view over the hillside. Family feeling and super helpful owners. Itâs not within comfortable walking distance from the city center so youâll most likely need to take a tuktuk (approximately 400lkr) just ask the owners for help ordering one.
Bodde hĂ€r i 2 nĂ€tter. Boendet ligger pĂ„ en höjd ovanför Kandy. OmrĂ„det Ă€r lugnt med vacker utsikt. Det Ă€r ganska lĂ„ngt om man ska promenera ner till sjĂ€lva Kandy men transport med tuk tuk ordnas lĂ€tt. Ăgaren Ă€r tour operator och ordnade med en hel dags rundtur med tuk tuk som tog oss till flera sevĂ€rdheter och utsiktspunkter. Han ordnade Ă€ven resa till Ella till hyfsat pris. Boendet Ă€r relativt nybyggt sĂ„ det ser fint ut. Rummen fina med sköna sĂ€ngar, finns flĂ€kt och vĂ€lfungerande A/C. Dusch med varmt och kallt vatten. WiFi fungerade bra. Balkong finns. Vi bodde högst upp och hade fin utsikt. Vissa rum lĂ€ngre ner har troligen inte lika bra utsikt. Ăgarna/personalen var trevliga och vĂ€ldigt serviceinriktade. Frukost ingick i priset och var bra, dock inte riktigt lika bra som de andra stĂ€llena vi bott pĂ„. Den bestod av liten frukttallrik, stekt Ă€gg/enkel omelett utan fyllning, toast, smör och marmelad samt kaffe/te. Vi Ă„t 2 middagar hĂ€r och det var vĂ€ldigt gott och billigt. Frun i huset Ă€r intresserad av matlagning och lĂ€gger ner mycket tid pĂ„ att fĂ„ det bra. Hin gör allt frĂ„n grunden. Om man vill handla nĂ„got eller Ă€ta pĂ„ nĂ„got annat stĂ€lle mĂ„ste man ta sig ner mot Kandy. Skulle tĂ€nka oss att bo hĂ€r igen om vi Ă„terkommer till Kandy igen
We had a lovely stay at Hanthana House. Pathie and his staff were charming and helpful without being overbearing or pushy. They gave us good advice and helped us to plan trips. A little out of Kandy but for us that was more pleasant
We had a wonderful stay !the hotel is very quiet ...lovely clean air !food home cooked ....probably the best we had in Sri Lanka ...all your plans can be arranged from here ....good drivers .....and a very freindly host and family ....we even saw a small deer from our balcony !.....would definitely go back to visit Kandy and the area around ....and stay here. !
Nice guesthouse with beautiful views out over and beyond kandy. The room was comfortable and large and the family running it were very accomodating taking us out for a sunset walk after arriving. The breakfast and dinner were authentically homemade, plentiful and great value for money.
