Introduction: Planning a trip to Kandy, the cultural capital of Sri Lanka? You may be wondering why you should choose a guesthouse rather than a hotel when you’re on the road. Little do people consider guesthouses as an economic and cultural experience, rather than simply a place to stay!
Paragraph 1: Guesthouses offer so much more than just a place to sleep in comfort - they can also be a great way to learn more about the culture of a city. Maintaining a small local business helps support the local economy and brings diversification into the area. Guesthouses also give you a chance to interact with locals and to ask them about life in Kandy. Some guesthouses have members of the local community that live and work there, helping you to experience Kandy on a more intimate level.
Paragraph 2: Affordable prices and flexible room sizes are also attractive for budget travelers. As guesthouses tend to provide fewer features, they are usually more affordable than traditional accommodation options. You can often get a room to suit your family size or your budget. When you look at your expense report, you’ll find staying in a guesthouse often gives you more value for your money.
Paragraph 3: Compared to a large hotel, staying in a guesthouse can be a much more intimate experience. Many guesthouse owners are passionate about their business and go out of their way to provide a pleasant and memorable stay. You’ll find that guesthouse owners are knowledgeable about Kandy and can provide you with insider tips and advice on the area.
Paragraph 4: Lastly, when you stay in a guesthouse, you also get the benefit of clean, comfortable and cozy accommodation. Most guesthouse owners take great care to maintain their properties and many of them have been in the business for years. You’ll get all the benefits of a bed and breakfast, with the added comfort and convenience of a hotel-like experience.
Conclusion: When travelling to Kandy, a guesthouse provides the perfect blend of culture, comfort and affordability. Not only will you save money, you’ll also get to experience the authentic Sri Lankan culture and hospitality.
