Lakshmi is a good value for money place for modest backpackers. The rooms are small and the bathrooms are basic but all is clean. The stuff is nice and helpful, esp. Roomy, who was our guide and tuk tuk driver for 1 day. The terracce was great for the breakfasts as well as evenings - food is good, although Sharon... More

nice view on Kandy city and very quiet guest house in a peaceful area. Due to several hours of delay with our flight, the taxi driver coming from the guest house to pick us up doubled the price ! not nice...

The guesthouse is located on a hill, the view from the terrace is obstructed by giant water tanks. The room was rather gloomy, the attached bathroom wasn't very clean and could use some renovation. It cost 2000 Rs per night. Food was OK but pricey.

We came to this hotel because of good review in Lonely Planet guide book. Rooms were simple and quite clean as it was described there. The difference was price. For simple doubleroom with shared bathroom cost after some negotiation 1 800 LKR. Well, the manager was helpful, the shared terrace of the guesthouse is nice, so it was not bad... More

We had made a reservation in Lakshmi Guest house based on the positive review in the Lonely Planet and stayed there for one night. It turned out to be much less than the LP promised ("cheap, clean and cheerful option"). We found it to be gloomy and dirty (the shared bathroom especially) and on top of that, our room had... More

well, there are perhaps better rooms than the one we got at the Lakshmi Hotel, but we paid 1000 per person (3) the first night and 1100 per person (2) the second night. The bathroom looks like a catastrophe but to be fair the toilet works. The sink doesn't work in the bathroom but outside in the hall it does.... More

We went to Lakshmi guest house, but it was full and a little bit dirty. They just open an other hotel a little bit down the road, Mango Tree or something like that. A new place, very cheap 2000 rupees per night for a brand new room, very clean and comfortable. When we checked-out, the hotel's manager was waiting for... More

Arrived Kandy late evening. Guest house asked high price, most are full every evening. Decided to look around but could find nothing so we returned. Owner saw we couldn;t find another so he raised the price. Food, way over priced - at least double normal price. The next day we found a similar room at half the price. Beware of... More

Not only excellent but also, clean, cheap, friendly people and good food: don't forget to visit the nearby "Helga's Folly": extremely strange/nice place to visit. You can walk from Lakshmi guesthouse up.

This guesthouse is located on the hills surrounding the lake. it offers a view on the Temple of the tooth Relic's roof from the terasse. The owners are helpful and friendly. The rooms are a little bit old but quite spacious. Among the amenities, you have hot water (depending on the room), internet access. Breakfast and diner can also be... More
