Traveling solo. Stayed for two nights. Good price and breakfast included. Very polite and friendly staff. Owner, Dan, is very friendly and helpful.
It’s on a “steep” hill and about 3.5 kilometers to Lake Kandy—-a good distance for walking exercise.
This is probably my most favorite and the best budget hotel I had stayed in. Strongly recommend it.

On a hilltop overlooking Kandy, the Jack Tree Lodge is a delightful place to stay.

Room with a view
Posted 8 Dec 2023 on HotelsWe arrived later in the evening but the staff were friendly, attentive and helpful, serving a delicious dinner. The hotel has wonderful views across the hills surrounding Kandy. A great secret hideaway.

Jack tree lodge is a nice place to stay, the owner is very nice and the staff too, we felt home. They offered breakfast every morning. The location is a 15 minutes walk from the city which was better for us. The rooms have a nice view.
The only disadvantage in Kandy is that almost everything closes around 10 pm so nothing much to do or places to eat.

Fantastic budget accommodation.
Posted 28 Feb 2022 on HotelsWe really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a little out of Kandy main centre which is a good thing as it is away from much of the pollution. The room was in fair condition and very clean. We had a nice balcony with views over Kandy. The bathroom was clean and toiletries were provided. We had no fridge but the owner kindly allowed us to put some drinks in his fridge. The owner was a very kind and courteous man and he served a delicious breakfast both mornings, the Sri Lankan breakfast was especially good. Only a 15 minute walk into the centre of Kandy, a good supermarket at the bottom of the road that sold cold drinks, beer etc and a good selection of groceries. I would recommend and I would stay there again if visiting Kandy.

Great scenic and luxury ‘budget’ hotel
Posted 10 Feb 2022 on HotelsI stayed here as my stop off in Kandy during my 3 week trip around Sri Lanka. I loved everything about the hotel! Lots of space within the rooms and also in the restaurant and lobby areas - also a beautiful balcony overlooking the mountains. The rooms are spotlessly clean and modern and the service from the staff is also very good. An incredible restaurant on the same street called Licensed to Grill, also highly recommend!
The only very minor negatives I would say is that it’s a bit far away from Kandy centre for transport purposes and the staff weren’t available as much as I’d hoped - I had to go searching for them a couple of times with my queries.
Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!
