rooms were very clean

A very good place to stay in Bandarawela.. Worth for your money.

The view was alright and the service was good.

The hotel holds an important part of Sri Lanka's history. There are photos, artworks and interesting details throughout the place. It has a great atmosphere of days gone by and was a meeting place for the Tea Plantation Managers, politicians, diplomats and intellectuals. Influential Sri Lankan business people and politicians still stay here and it is used as a venue for wedding photos because it is so classic and has lovely gardens - so you get the picture. It is easy to get to Ella, Nine Arches Bridge, Lipton's Seat etc. (train, tuk tuk or driver) from here and Bandarawela is not touristy. The hotel is unique and lovely. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. The manager Rewatha is very professional and kind. He arranged a tour for us in "Miller's Garden" at the hotel where they grow much of their produce. The hotel has implemented environmentally conscious practices which was great to see.

Convenient location close to the tennis club. The rooms were very clean and cozy. The staff was great and the owners were very nice and hospitable and very helpful

Our stay at the Orient Hotel in Bandarawella was truly exceptional. The breathtaking views, attentive staff, and recently renovated rooms in excellent condition made our experience unforgettable. The hotel's commitment to maintaining high standards truly enhanced our overall satisfaction. It was a fantastic stay that exceeded our expectations

Staff was good.

good choice and tasty

The comfortable chalets away from the hustle of Ella and Bandarawela are tucked away in a beautiful garden with plenty of flowers. The owner arranged an excellent tour on our way to Ella rock with an open 4X4 vehicle during which we experienced a most beautiful forest with eucalyptus trees ever seen, and thereafter the historical train and the 9 arches bridge and a scenic drive through the legendary Lipton thee estate with a visit to the authentic production hall. Warmly recommended.

The first thing that stood out was the beautiful view of the mountains from the room balcony. The balcony and full-length windows face east so the sun rises right across and the morning light fills the room (but there are blackout curtains too). The balcony is great to sit and enjoy the view, especially mornings and evenings. The room itself is spacious, the bed is big and comfortable. We also ate all our meals at Roseland itself and they have a variety of Sri Lankan and western dishes. We ate only Sri Lankan food and all our meals were delicious and like simple home-cooked Sri Lankan food - definitely a plus! Rajiv (the owner) and his wife were very responsive on WhatsApp to our questions. Rajiv and his staff helped us decide on some of the hikes that would suit our preferences and also organized transport. One of the staff familiar with the routes also accompanied us as a guide. The cost was very reasonable too. Roseland is a tea and coffee estate and it was interesting to see their tea and coffee producing process as well as do a tasting of their coffee and different teas - we ended up buying quite a few of them too! They have small factory/production section near the entrance to the property as well and it was nice to smell the wafting fragrance of the teas during our post-dinner walks. Rajiv was very kind in helping us get some money changed without going to the market, and also having our train tickets collected from the train station without us having to go there (train tickets booked online still have to be collected in person prior to traveling), which was a big help and a time saver. Overall it was a very calm and relaxing environment. We stayed there for 4 nights and would love to go back!
