Hotel Mango Garden

Kandy


Manager Malik and his French wife run a tight ship here. Rooms are plain but spacious with good bedding, though the bathrooms are more prosaic. There's a lovely terrace restaurant for drinks and excellent meals (open to all). Call them for free pick-up from the bus or train station.
