Set within 2.3 km of Kandy City Center Shopping Mall and 2.6 km of Bogambara Stadium in Kandy, Mystique Hideout offers accommodation with seating area. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. The guest house features family rooms.

Many thanks to this amazing accommondation and the wonderful hiking experience! It was the best decision to book the tour at the guesthouse itself. After enjoying a rich breakfast I got picked up for my hikingtour. Everything was well organized. Also important for me was the continuous Wifi, which was working perfect. Next Year I will come back!

I recently stayed at Kandy Casa Boutique Hotel and had a fantastic experience. The hotel room and bathroom were both very spacious and clean, which made for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The view from the hotel was absolutely breathtaking, and it was great to be away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast - it was truly fabulous! The breakfast included a variety of Western and local dishes such as eggs, sausage, bread, jam, butter, fruits, fruit juice, coconut rotti, string hoppers, coconut sambal, lentil curry, chicken curry, tea, and coffee. It was definitely a big breakfast for us, but we loved every bit of it. The quality and taste of the food were exceptional. Lastly, I have to mention Jagath, who made our stay very comfortable. He was always available to help with anything we needed, and his friendly and welcoming demeanor added to the overall pleasant experience. I highly recommend Kandy Casa Boutique Hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Kandy with stunning views, excellent food, and exceptional service.

    Quiet location up the hill with incredible views just on a 15 mins tuktuk drive from the city centre. The host was very welcoming and helped us organising tuktuks and advised what things to do/see. Also made us a delicious breakfast every morning. We stayed in the deluxe room, which has amazing views over the city and surroundings, from the bedroom and balcony and even from the shower. Absolutely stunning!

    The host was amazing. He helped me with everything and is very kind. The kindest host I met in Southeast Asia. Also the room is very spacious and the bathroom as well. Very clean and really good shower. The location is also perfect, not in city centre but walking distance. Breakfast also very nice. When in Kandy, don’t hesitate to book this guesthouse. The best you will get!

    Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.

    Lovely guesthouse with an absolutely charming and helpful hostess. We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable right away. The accommodation is a bit outside the city center (about 10-15 minutes by tuktuk), which we really liked because it's peacefully quiet, and the huge balcony offers a wonderful view of the city. We opted to have dinner outside, but there were options available on-site as well. The breakfast was good and plentiful. If you want a short stop in Kandy without staying right in the city, this is the perfect place.
