Mid Town Hostel Reviews

Mid Town Hostel Kandy has a great central location in Kandy.

The Location

The hostel is located right in the heart of Kandy and positions you in prime position to access everything Kandy has to offer. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and supermarkets nearby. It is located down a side street off a main road, and easily located with a big sign to lead you in the right direction and due to being off the main strip, there is less noise to keep you up at night.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Mid Town Hostel Kandy is a small hostel with only two dorm rooms and the bathrooms spread across three levels; the rooms are spacious and airy with bunk beds and lockers below each (they're big enough to fit even the largest of bags, and all equipped with locks, so there's no need to bring your own). Top sheets and towels are provided free of charge -- you just need to ask. The bathrooms are clean enough and there seem to be enough for the amount of guests staying; there is hot water, which is always a plus, however they could use a few more hooks or some space for your belongings. The problem with the bathroom being on the bottom of the three floors below the two dorm rooms is that many people would have to walk through the rooms to get to the bathroom during the night and morning, making for very disrupted sleep and a decent amount of noise.

Common Spaces

There is two common spaces at Mid Town -- the reception area and a very nice rooftop. The reception area is more like a small lounge room with a few couches where you can sit and chat, and the staff are often down there to share ideas on what to see and where to go. The rooftop has some spectacular views over the city and is a very nice place to sit and enjoy your freshly cooked breakfast and overlook the whole city. It is equipped with a cooktop, microwave, and kettle as well as a small fridge and plenty of space to sit and soak up the scenes. The Wi-Fi is decent in both common areas as well as the rooms.

Summary

Mid Town Hostel Kandy puts you right in the centre of all the action of the city, with lots of food and supermarket options nearby; the staff are friendly and happy to accommodate; it's quiet and clean; and the rooftop has some unreal views. The only negative is the noise made by people walking through the dorm rooms to reach the bathroom, so pack your earplugs and eye mask and you will be good to go.
