About 15 minutes walking from the centre, in a quiet location. The room was great, spacious, spotless, with everything you might need. Bathroom is brand new and the shower is powerful. Love that! Breakfast is excellent too, we didn’t try the dinner. Staff were great, always happy to help out. Liked the cheap laundry service, handy when backpacking around Sri Lanka. Oh and the bed is the most comfortable one I’ve slept on here. Can’t go wrong with this place - trust me, stay here.

Beautiful room. Very clean and no smell at all! The bed is really comfy and the blanket keeps you warm during the night (it’s getting cold in Nuwara Eliya during the night, so you need it!). Breakfast is huge and really delicious. The owner is really cute.

Our stay at Ruchi House was exceptional! The place was spotless, and the owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We had full privacy, and all the facilities we needed were available. They went above and beyond by packing us a delicious breakfast for our early checkout. I highly recommend Ruchi House to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay!

    This was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Sri Lanka. I received a warm welcome from the staff there. The place is very clean, warm, and relaxing. The food is five-star quality—no joke. It was really delicious and well-presented, thanks to Chef Steve and the hotel manager Malinda for taking care of me during my stay, and thanks to the rest of the team, Srikant and Moghan. Location is good, there is a supermarket near band it's close to Gregory lake. There is hot water for shower.

    Very clam and quiet location and an ideal place to relax. Middle of the town has access to anywhere. Staff was exceptionally helpful for elderly ladies who went with us. Very clean rooms, good food and worth for expenditure. Also arranged a barbecue on our request at short notice without any negative attitude. Spent a good & relaxed vacation.
