Jay's Bunks

4.4(33 reviews)

About

On Sri Lanka, Jay's Bunks occupies 83, 2, 1/1 Anniewatta Road in Kandy 20000, and the hostel has built a name for itself among travellers passing through the hill country.

First-time visitors can expect a bunk-style stay in Kandy, with the guesthouse drawing a steady flow of backpackers heading between the coast and the central hills. A 4.4 out of 5 average across 33 reviews reflects that following, and the reviews come from guests who have stayed rather than from passing trade. Kandy sits within reach of Colombo and the southern coastal towns of Galle, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa and Unawatuna, while Arugam Bay lies on the east coast.

Buses serve most routes, three-wheelers are common for short trips, and traffic drives on the left. The hill country in central Sri Lanka is cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, which shapes what to pack for a stay in Kandy. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages, with English widely used in administration and tourism.

Kandy's position in the central hills makes it a natural stop between the coast and the tea country, and the hostel sits within that network.
