The Trevene Hotel, hotel in Nuwara Eliya

Housed in a 150 year old colonial bungalow, The Trevene Hotel features homely rooms with cable TV channels and garden views. It offers barbecue facilities and free Wi-Fi in the lobby.

The host Mr. Dilruksha and the front desk attendant Shakeeb were very accommodating during my stay at the Trevene. The building is historic and has a quaint feeling nestled in the forest. Breakfast was great. Skip the Western options and go for the Sri Lankan food. Their chef is excellent and it was one of the best local meals I had on my journey through Sri Lanka. The location is within walking distance of the central bus station, Victoria Park, lakeside and great restaurants.

Araliya Green City Hotel, hotel in Nuwara Eliya

Featuring a fitness center, a garden as well as a bar, Araliya Green City Hotel is located in the center of Nuwara Eliya, 1.5 miles from Gregory Lake.

Good: large room (studio annex junior suite), though it definitely is worth far less than 100 USD above the ‘superior’ basic room. Nice breakfast, though aimed more at local taste than at foreigners. Nice inside heated pool, only one of the five in the whole island; though with amateuristic setup, e.g. showers are in the nextdoor spa not in the pool space.

    it's great place but for foreigner they charge fees for everything such as entry fee to enter the place to visit and there is no any free facility which is not good. as a traveler we are going to visit city and promote the city on our social networks therefore we should have some facility to get some exempt the charges to view more about city. every attraction they have entry fee.

    A good place for visiting the Horton Plains National Park- negociate locally for the 40 min drive in a Tuk Tuk ( 9000 lks is about right). It has a nice lake to walk around. The Rough Guide though old is still very useful. The centre is small and compact with good facilities .. The exception is the 'Tourist Office' close to the bus station.. It is close to useless - dont look for impartial advice as the owner has his own Tuk Tuk!. Victora Park is worth a stroll.

    Quaint little town in the hills.

    Quaint little town in the hills. So, cooler climate and perfect spot to take a break from the sweltering heat in Colombo. La Grande Villa is just a 10 minute walk from town and a 5 bedroom boutique hotel, which makes it the ideal place for a quiet, restful stop before Ella.

    Nuwara Eliya is a sleepy town nestled within acres of tea estates , which has maintained a lot of its colonial buildings that it almost looks like a different country altogether. Hence the name Little England. It is best suited for an Individual or family that is looking to just relax at one property with great views , dabble in luxury (there are a few options) , do a little bit of sightseeing (all nature related) and experience the architecture of the town itself. It’s non-touristy.. None of the places we visited were crowded or dirty. The town sleeps by 10pm.

    we spent 2 days in the off season (mid feb 2024) which was perfect, no overcrowding, mad traffic and great weather. We stayed 1 night in a studio apartment and 1 night at a small guest house both were perfectly maintained and very nice accommodations well worth the price. check the weather and go in the off season to enjoy and relax in NE as it should be done!

    Nuwara Eliya is gorgeous.

    Nuwara Eliya is gorgeous. But the hotel we booked, we stayed with difficulty for one night, then left at dawn. We then stayed at for a week at another place, which was lovely. Nuwara Eliya is a very beautiful hill station. Nature has been preserved well. Old style buildings add to the beauty of nature. Especially noteworthy are: Post Office Building, old heritage buildings, Victoria Park. Amazing waterfall near railway station. Station is quite far from town. Nuwara Elia is well served by buses from almost all parts of Sri Lanka. Travel by rail is very pretty, but returning by night train is not advisable: the train is always late, and what they call "sleeper" is actually a reclining seat.

    The owner and his wife are lovely. They really worked hard to make my stay the best. They prepared delicious meals, the included Sri Lankan breakfast and a very reasonably priced and delicious dinner. I liked the reasonably-priced, 5-hour tuk tuk tour of the area, including Nuwara Eliya that was arranged for me. This is a good place for a short stay on the train route between Ella & Kandy. Any issues with this location are not the fault of the owners. They are very kind and take good care of their guests.

    Staying at the hotel is a fantastic experience. It seems like our own house. The room was very comfortable, the washroom very spacious. The owner & staff are so kind & treated us very kindly. Breakfast is amazing! Highly recommend this hotel to the visitors. Around the scenery is beautiful. Its walking distance from the hotel to Gregory lake is another chance to walk. Furthermore, I think it's a fantastic experience We gained Nuwara Eliya from this excellent Queensland Hotel hotel. Thanks.

    This hotel was perfect for our one night stay in Nuwara Eliya. The guest house was really clean and had beautiful views. The room was big and very comfortable. Our favourite part was how lovely the owners were who made our stay perfect! The location of the hotel is also amazing… right next to Themparadu and a short walk to all of the sites. The breakfast was also delicious… we ate most of it and then wrapped up the sandwiches and had them for lunch! Would definitely recommend this place.

    Location-wise, the hotel was ideally situated in Nuwara Eliya. It was convenient to explore nearby attractions while also providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The staff at New Royal Mount, deserve a special mention. Their warmth and genuine hospitality made us feel like VIPs throughout our stay. From the front desk to the restaurant staff, everyone went out of their way to ensure our comfort and satisfaction.

    Heidi’s home is full of positive energy. The hotel is designed with a lot of color and full of little creative details. Our room was very spacious with a nice view on the lake. Also the garden is very cozy. It is situated a bit out of the Nuwara Eliya centre but it only takes a 25minute walk next to the lake with stunning views. Heidi is very helpful to all your requests and makes a very nice breakfast in the morning!
