The location of the hostel was very convenient, with easy access to both the train station and bus stop. It made getting around the town a breeze. The cleanliness of the facilities was impressive. the rooms, bathrooms, and common areas were kept very tidy, which made for a pleasant stay. The owners of the hostel were extremely friendly and helpful.
The room amenities were quite basic. There was only one socket outlet available, which made it inconvenient for charging multiple devices.

We had a lovely romantic escape at this charming hostel. The location was absolutely fantastic, with easy access to both the main attractions and the train station. We were able to explore the beautiful temples and take a leisurely stroll by the lake. The friendly staff made us feel welcome and were always ready to assist with any questions or concerns. The hostel was sparkling clean and the comfortable beds ensured a good night's sleep.
There were a few minor drawbacks. The lack of proper pavements made walking to the center a bit challenging, as we had to navigate the busy roads.

Conveniently located near public transportation, including the train and bus stations, the hostel offers easy access to various attractions such as temples and botanical gardens. Despite being close to a busy road, the rooms remain quiet, providing a peaceful atmosphere. the property's dorms are known for their cleanliness, and the comfortable beds ensure a good night's sleep.
The limited availability of air conditioning on the top floor can result in uncomfortable conditions on hot days.

The location of the hostel is convenient, being close to both the bus and train station. the rooms and shared bathrooms are nice and clean, providing a comfortable stay. the friendly and helpful staff were accommodating, allowing guests to leave their luggage when needed. the hostel also offers small lockers in the shared rooms and a fan for comfort.
Limited interaction with fellow travelers due to the hostel having more of a homestay atmosphere.

I had a fantastic stay at a cozy and modern hostel near the bus station. the location couldn't have been better, just a 3-minute walk away. the staff was incredibly helpful and kind, even waiting for me until midnight when I arrived. the room was clean and the bathroom had all the amenities I needed. Plus, the host gave great advice on directions and even allowed me to leave my luggage while I explored the city. a warm and enjoyable experience at White Rose. Cons: Nothing, all aspects of my stay were excellent! 👌.

I recently stayed at White Rose in Kandy for 5 nights and it was fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, giving great suggestions for exploring the area. The location is ideal - just a short walk from the center and with restaurants nearby. The rooms are modern, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The shared bathrooms were not a problem at all since there are only two rooms per bathroom. a perfect place to stay while exploring the beautiful surroundings.
Totally recommend this hotel.

The hostel was in a great location, just a few minutes away from the bus and railway stations. This made it really convenient for exploring the city and getting around. the rooms were super clean and comfortable, with cozy beds that ensured a good night's sleep. the staff was very friendly and helpful, always ensuring that I felt safe and giving me great advice on places to visit.
That the room had a bit of mold on the walls and ceilings, which could be taken care of. there was no soap or toilet paper provided in the bathrooms, which was a bit inconvenient.
