My stay at Sri Kandyan Bungalow had its highs and lows. I appreciated the friendly vibes, especially from Sigi, but the location was tough to navigate and the noise at night was bothersome. The breakfast was basic, but I found some comfort in the clean bathroom.

Getting to the bungalow was a real struggle with incorrect directions, and it's pretty far from town, up in the hills. Tu-k-tuks are a must if you wanna visit the city.
