Sri-LankaThere are many hotels in Kandy: there are chic five-star, medium category, and the most budget hostels for backpackers. Prices for a bed in hostels start from 800 rupees (300 USD), accommodation in a budget room for two can be found from 1300 Rupees (500 USD).
There will be no problems finding accommodation, although it is better to search and book a hotel in advance. The fact is that in Kandy there is no place for the concentration of hotels in one tourist area, as is the case in beach resorts. Here, to find accommodation on the spot, you will have to go around half of the city, and this is not so easy, because life is in full swing here, the roads are filled with Transport. If it turns out that you will get to Kandy without a hotel booked in advance, in this case it is best to find a cafe with the internet, connect to the network and try to book. Another option is to contact taxi drivers or tuk-tukers, who will be able to offer you related hotels for a commission. But in this case, carefully monitor the location, otherwise you can be taken to the very outskirts. You will, of course, be assured that this place is very close to the center, but you can not trust taxi drivers or tuk-tukers in such matters.
We, the authors of the site, had the experience of finding a hotel in Kandy on the spot without paying in advance. Arriving in Kandy by motorcycle in the afternoon, several hours were spent searching, with several times accidentally having to break the rules, as there are one-way roads. A few hotels offered very high prices or were full. As a result, I had to book a hotel through a smartphone via the mobile internet, which works here disgustingly. We managed to find an inexpensive guesthouse within walking distance from the center, and in fact we were the only tourists there. But without booking in advance and the subsequent help of the owner, who by phone oriented how to go, we would definitely not be able to find him.

As for the choice of location of hotels, the ideal option would be to be located within walking distance to the city center, an artificial lake. It is around the lake that all the tourist and cultural life is boiling, all the sights are located, and if you do not want to constantly fork out for a taxi or tuk-tuk, it is better to settle in the center. If you want to get a stunning view of the city in the hotel, you can pick up a hotel on the slopes of the mountains around the center, but check when choosing a room where the windows will go.
