We had quite an amazing experience at Marvel Hills. Location very good for local access, complete privacy in the room, and a host who was quite exceptional. Freshly prepared local cuisine for breakfast, great chats with the host, he even arranged for a local spice seller to come and see us, so now we have enough, high quality, spices to last for a good while. Excellent!

Garden paradise within the lively Kandy city

Fantastic stay at Marvel Hills. Sarath is the perfect host, welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast offerings were plentiful both traditional and western. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Sarath organised a TukTuk for us for a day with a friendly local. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning.

I arrived late at night due to delayed flight followed by bad traffic. The owner was very attentive and stay up to welcome me at arrival. Because we had communicated online before and throughout my journey to the guest house, I felt safe and looked after well. The house is elegant and very clean. Breakfast was just like home.

Wish we had stayed longer…….

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights. We can’t recommend this home too much. It certainly felt like we were at home. The room was so clean, bed was comfortable and bathroom spotless. Our room was well appointed, entered via its own garden. We had special views across the whole valley. We hooked up to the Wi-Fi and looked for things to do but our host knew all the good things to do, he even organized a TukTuk tour with a local guide. Our tour was fantastic and such a great price. We took breakfast had delicious home cooked roti with coconut salad and chutney along with eggs and fruit. On the first night we ventured into the city for dinner and on the second night we stayed local. Both restaurants were good. The local shops were terrific, selling local fresh food. We moved on to South but wished we had stayed longer.

Fantastiskt litet ställe nära centrum med en brant backe upp till pensionatet. Trevlig ägare och mycket god frukost där du kunde välja vad du ville ha. Restauranger och affärer nära. Rent och fräsch. Trevlig pub bara en liten bit ifrån pensionatet. För mig som gillar blommor va det fantastiskt.
