I had a lovely three-night stay at Aayu Hanthana Boutique Hotel. The hotel is beautifully decorated and offers a peaceful vibe away from Kandy's hustle and bustle. The only downside was that some tuktuk drivers weren’t familiar with the hotel location, but with Google Maps, I managed just fine. Overall, I enjoyed the excellent service and the tranquil jungle setting.
