    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.

    Very cute small designed hotel! Great location right on the tea plantation with fantastic view from the panoramic windows of the restaurant. Fantastic British design of the hotel - all hotel looks very modern and new. Fireplace in the room. Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly and welcomed stuff. Good and tasty restaurant. Amazing breakfast. We highly recommend it to all people visiting tea plantations near Nuwara Eliya and who is going to experience the train to Ella (railway station Nanuoya is located 10 min by car from the hotel).

    If you want to have a great stay in Nuwara Eliya with the old colonial flair, the Hill Club is the place to be. The service was excellent (we especially enjoyed the service of Ravi) and you feel taken back in time. Its easy to walk into town and to the adjacent Grand Hotel. We stayed the first night into a modern room (which was the best we had in 4 weeks Sri Lanka so far) and the other two in the old wing (as we wanted to check it out and we also enjoyed it there) - changing rooms was arranged without problems.

    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.

    We booked 2 rooms for 3 people. 5 nights. King's lodge is the perfect place to enjoy nuwara eliya. Lovely hosts, wonderful breakfast, great view and clean and nice rooms! Breakfast was every day different. English with toast and jam. Sri lankan with string hoppers, curry and cocos sambal. We catched some rainy days so we spent more time in the hotel as we usually would. Every evening the owners brought some tee for free. They also organized taxi and tuk tuk for us. Thx for the service. Would book again!

The room was big, spotless clean, nicely decorated and had a beautiful view on the hills and tea plantations. On top of that, they arranged for us the freshest and most delicious Sri Lankan breakfast.

    1st thing to mention is the style of the house. It was a very nice experience to stay in such an authentic and old styled house. All details including old furniture (in really good condition) allow you to dive into the old times. Host is very nice and friendly. Really good suggestions of where to go and where not to waste time helped us to organize out visit to nuwara Eliya. Breakfast is delicious. Especially local tasty tea and fruits fresh.

Incase, you are not sure what to explore when in Nuwara Eliya, do ask him to share the link.
