    City tours, day trips, and hiking with locals offered. I had a great time exploring famous attractions. The free WiFi was a nice touch, even though it didn't work most of the time.

    Oh, the WiFi! It was such a joy to reconnect with nature without any distractions.

    We were in a big apartment so close to Sri Lanka, a quiet area, the center. It had a peaceful location in the city centre on arrival.

    The rooms at Alex Home Stay are cozy and comfortable, with air conditioning and a private bathroom. I loved waking up to the beautiful mountain views from the balcony.

    Personally, I would have preferred if the rooms had a mini fridge. But hey, that's just me!

    Location was truly amazing and rooms were spacious, it had very picturesque views. Beautiful balcony for further relaxation. Provided breakfast was generous; I appreciated it. The bed was extra comfortable, and overall bedroom was so clean.

    Signal was very weak.

    I felt completely refreshed after taking a shower in the well-maintained private bathroom. The balcony with mountain views provided a peaceful and scenic backdrop, making my mornings extra special. Some rooms even had a mini fridge, perfect for keeping drinks cool. As a guest who values convenience and relaxation, I was thoroughly impressed!

    Personally, I found the fan in the room to be a little noisy. However, I understand that others may not mind it and could still find it useful during warmer days.

    The apartment has good prices. The place has fairly clean, good-sized, and brand-new rooms.- The breakfast is savory and delicious with fried eggs, and a variety of fruits.- The beautiful view includes views of the mountains.- The location is perfect for exploring the charming industrial areas of Kandy.

    Located in a peaceful area outside of the bustling city center, Alex Home Stay offers a serene retreat. Close to a supermarket and surrounded by the beautiful Udawatte Kele forest, it provides a convenient location for nature lovers. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with amenities such as a kitchen and hot showers. The hosts, Alex and Malka, are incredibly helpful and welcoming, offering delicious meals and guiding services.

    There may be limited options for dining or entertainment within walking distance as it is situated in a slightly industrial area, but easily accessible by tuk-tuk.

    I recently stayed at a wonderful place called Alex Home Stay for 5 nights. The room had a stunning balcony view of the Knuckles Mountain Range. Alex and Malka, the hosts, were exceptional. Despite power outages, all amenities including A.C. and wifi were available and working. The house is set amidst trees with spectacular mountain views from the balconies and terrace. Malka's cooking was superb and they were so welcoming and caring. It was a perfect start to our Sri Lankan journey.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    Great view from the room and balcony. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere. The hostess was accommodating and even provided hot water for our baby. She didn't charge us for the mineral water bottle that we accidentally took. The breakfast was delicious and filling.

    The property is far from the town and not recommended for people with special needs due to the flight of stairs. Commute can be a problem if you don't have a car.

    Rooms are well-equipped with air conditioning, hot and cold water shower, and tea & coffee making facilities. They even have a mini fridge in some rooms! The balcony offers stunning mountain views, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The private entrance and seating area in the single room provide extra comfort and privacy. Free toiletries and hot water in the bathroom ensure a refreshing shower experience.

    Personally, I found the fan in the room a bit noisy. However, it may not bother others who are used to background noise.
