    Parking is available for one vehicle only but luckily we were able to use it. There's no facility to make BBQ, The heaters are not working.

    Rooms were so clean, comfy and with proper ventilation. Thomas was a really nice guy. He helped us a lot to make our stay so good.

    It felt a little bit like we were under a curfew as the guard went home once we were in each night.

    Great family room and superb location for exploring Nur Eliya. Lots of character in the property.

    The property is very close to the mosque and chances are one may wake up when they start broadcasting the morning prayer.

    Good value for money.

    No restaurant or bar. The care take was super nice and would be happy to make breakfast, but not a traditional restaurant. More a fancy guesthouse.

    Fabulous old restored bungalow, beautiful antiques and period photographs. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    The heater plug doesn't match to any sockets in the room so it was quite cold outside the hot bathtub.

    Such a nice place, it looks very beautiful. Enjoying the hot bathtub was awesome. There's a hot eater dispenser in the room, it was great too.

    The house has a patio and space next to the entrance, but they are now empty. It would be cool if the owners would put tables and sofas and things like that there so you could hang out there, smoke, drink coffee, etc.

    It is a very beautiful colonial-style house in the heart of the city. The room was very comfortable and pleasant. It was a pleasure to spend time here. Also, there is an excellent pub very close by where you can drink fresh draft beer and have a nice meal.

    Noisy! Our room faced the street and you can hear everything outside. Also, when other people in the house are talking, you can hear it through the walls.

    The room was huge and quite comfortable, though a bit cold at times. The space heater and hot water dispenser were very handy. Breakfast was ridiculously large and delicious. Well-located overall.

    Amazing location and beautiful house! It felt like stepping into a museum! The beds had duvets which is a huge bonus in the colder mountain climate! Wifi worked really well in our room as well! The owner also left his number for us when he had to make short trips out of the hotel so that we could reach him if we needed anything.

    manager gave us wrong room. We booked 2.5 floor room but it was occupied by other guests. A switch the day after would have been possible, but senseless for a stay with 2 nights... WiFi: terrible and NOT available in the rooms, only in the lobby. Lights: more then 50% without function Cleanliness: horrible - See pictures

    Promod is a very friendly guy

    Colonial hotel with a nice atmosphere of a bygone era. Rooms are huge, fitted with lovely traditional timber furniture, beds are big and super comfortable. Shower with hot water and good pressure, there is even a bath. Towels and bath robes provided. The staff is very professional. They set the little heater in our room that was adequate to keep the big double level room very cosy. Great Sri lankan breakfast. There is a billiard table that was a huge hit with our family!

    The location is the old city centre so you might need some sort of vehicle

    So many good things about the property was a very pleasant stay! Staff were lovely and always happy to help us, quickly. The breakfast was good and always a safe bet for lunches or a quick dinner.

    The room was too large (perhaps as they have family rooms) and the one we stayed was the first room that had a long large area with TV, cupboard mirror etc and 2 large beds in another area. Will be good to have some kind of separation/partition so the heaters will be more effective in the bed area.

    Location is central and value for money. The caretaker was very helpful. Very large rooms. Generally well maintained.
