    I extended the stay for 3 more nights. Supper nice, as mentioned the bed could have been more comfortable and less stiff. The rest is amazing.

    Room had various cleanliness issues on arrival (brown substance smeared across light switch, bad smelling stain on sheets, urine smell in bathroom), but staff resolved these when contacted. Only real issue with room was that shower cubicle has a full lenth window to the street with a curtian that doesn't fully cover it. Some damp / drain smells persisted in the bathroom but this was bearable.

    Helpful staff, resolved any issues quickly. Large comfortable, well-equipt room.

    Nothing, Everything was amazing

    I liked that the room was clean! The bedding was clean! The bathroom was clean and had warm water! There was a fan and an AC! The staff were very nice and accommodating. My partner and I got given fresh juice on arrival. The location was also decent, we were a quick walk away from the tooth temple and lake, also near a great dosa and curry place! We could also easily get a Tuktuk when we felt it was a bit too hot in Kandy to walk.

    • 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    The bed was a little too hard for my preference. Also worth noting is that if you're looking for the typical social and community-oriented hotel atmosphere as a solo traveler, Kurumbunkz may not be the ideal place. But if you want a quiet & comfortable or budget-friendly place to stay with your friends, this could be a great fit. Although not directly related to the hostel, I found the food in their rooftop restaurant to be subpar.

    I stayed in a dorm room at Kurumbunkz for 3 nights and had a great experience. The room and the attached bathroom were super clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and responsive whenever I interacted. The location is also super convenient with a 5-minute tuk ride to the city.

    Nothing I can comment about it

    The environment was very chic and clean. First day I stayed in dorm and the room was clean, comfortable bed, bathroom in good and clean condition. Then I decided to stay in the next day through booking.com for the deluxe private room. It was amazing with comfortable bed, ample space and clean. Besides, the location it’s so strategic and you can just go to Kandy lake just by walking distance. Friendly staff that willing to help. I would say that the staff went beyond and above to help for the transportation and also the location that you planned to go. Whatever you have any queries they are trying their best to help you 👍

    Nothing.

    This time I stayed in the private room instead of the dorm, and I think it was a great value stay! Room was big, well lit, and had very comfortable bedding. A big wardrobe as well, so you can hang/store your things pretty conveniently.

    Shower curtain can be little tricky to close completely.

    Their rooftop restaurant was awesome! Had their breakfast burrito twice and think it was one of the tastier things I had in Kandy. They're more of an upscale hostel, so the rooms are clean and well-designed. A little pricier, but certainly worth it if you're wanting a slightly more comfortable dorm experience! Location is good, about a 15 minute walk into the town alongside the lake and about 5 minutes from one of the performance centers for the Kandy traditional fire-dance experiences.

    I recently stayed at this hostel for 2 nights and had an unforgettable experience. The location is superb, with breathtaking views, especially from the rooftop lounge. The room and bathroom were spacious and clean. What truly sets this hostel apart is the unparalleled hospitality. Mr. Mahesh, the manager, and Mr. Naveen at the reception provided exemplary service. Mahesh not only recommended a fantastic itinerary in Kandy but also went above and beyond to help me secure train tickets when they were hard to come by. Naveen's polite and humble demeanor, along with his prompt assistance, made my stay even more enjoyable. His kindness extended to accompanying me to the train station when I was struggling with the ticket. Though I don't remember all the staff's names, their kindness and professionalism didn't go unnoticed. I am genuinely grateful for such a remarkable experience in Kandy. Thank you!

    This place is advertising itself as co-working space, where in fact WiFi was not sufficient to have online calls. The price was a bit high taking that the room consist of only bed and bathroom and wardrobe. No mini fridge, or desk or hairdryer. Also the rooms Are not cleaned everyday, what you could expect for this price.

    The room was clean and water pressure with hot water. Bed was comfy. AC working quietly. The poeple working there were very nice. The restaurant at the rooftop(though they could use some upgrades for breakfast options).

    I didn’t find this very good value compared to other places we have stayed in Sri Lanka, breakfast wasn’t included, there wasn’t a kettle in the room or a fridge and when I asked if I could have a hair dryer there wasn’t one that they could have provided.

    The room had large windows with a great vew alongside a balcony. The bed was also very comfortable and the staff were very nice. There was also a great rooftop bar / restaurant with amazing views over Kandy!
