This place is a gem 💎!!! Happy and satisfied is the least i can say about this fancy place! If you love cleanliness ( which sadly not as common in Sri Lanka in hotels ) and like to enjoy a place free of germs, spots, mold or any dirty bathrooms, then this is the place! I honestly found it cleaner than some 5 starts hotels in Colombo so not sure why it is rated 3 stars only. The actual rooms look more beautiful than the images showing. Everything is wood and stone. Fancy romantic lightings, super duper comfortable beds! ( omg better than what i have at home 🤪) Coming to the hotel was a bit of a challenge because the city doesn't take care of any sub roads sadly. Yet the road to this location is not bad at all compared to many other sub roads! My car had low bumper yet didn't have difficulty dealing with the road. However, my car stopped 500 meters before the hotel and would not move forward on a medium steep hill . . Had to ask my 3 family members to come down for me to continue and the then the owner was super kind, upon knowing, to rush down with his car and get my family up to the hotel. Then had issues with booking where i mistakenly booked 1 guest instead of 2 for each room ( was weird on booking.com). owner was more than courteous to honor the mistake making an exception and giving me the rooms for the same booking price! Our deluxe room had its own sink and water kettle. Also rooms have fast heaters if you get cold ( like my wife). The staff helped us with the luggage and welcomed us with tea. The view from this place is just magical! Tea estates, veges feilds, fog, hills, big trees and mountains. Also, you can see very closely the highest point in Sri Lanka. I am definitely coming back next year

    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!

    The best hosts you could wish for. Maybe you can find homes in better location, or fancy hotels but I can assure you that you miss one of the best experience in Sri Lanka if you stay elsewhere. Food is great, the home is warm (which is a good thing in Nuwara Eliya) and comfortable. The host is a former tourguide, so if you are interested in the history and the true current state of Sri Lanka, he will tell you all, show you around and makes sure you leave with a smile on your face. 10/10 , next time we will stay more days there.

    Well located considering that Nuwara Eliya is quite a small town. It is just outside of the city centre, quick access to famous Grand Hotel. Room was clean, very spacious, coffee/tea available in the room + other equipment (iron, scale ;), etc). The bathroom was well equipped, very nice shower with nice pressure and hot water. Breakfast was quite fulfilling with different choices according to taste. All in all a great homestay, we felt comfortable.

    The hotel is beautiful and situated in an amazing setting high up on the hills of Nuwara Eliya. 25 mins out of the way from town. It is very colonial and old fashioned. The food is delicious and plentiful. We also had a very relaxing message- and this was offered to a 12 year old too unlike in the UK so she was very very happy.
