“Cleanliness issues”

Staff

The property was very clean however it was difficult to locate via the directions on Booking.com The sound of the early morning prayers woke us up on the two nights we stayed. Steep incline to the homestay, can be difficult with heavy luggage. We received a lovely warm welcome from the host and she told us best ways to get to our destinations. She always kept in touch to make sure we were safe.

“Best place to stay in Hatton”

Superbly beautiful view from this affordable stay, and the hosts are amongst the nicest people you will ever meet, anywhere in your life! Delicious food and tea, friendly conversation, and attentive to every need. Can't recommend enough!!

“Kind helpfull homestay close to railway station”

Fijn uitzicht op Hatton en treinstation. We had such nice chats with the owners. They arranged a tuktuk to Adams peak, great spiritual 5000 stair steps! Never forget this nice people,

“Up a steep road above the station if you need somewhere close”

Friendly guest and comfortable bed

Excellent accommodation. Priyanthi is a wonderful host, and was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean, very comfortable, and had a good hot shower. Breakfast was really nice, and very generous portions too. The location is ideal - about 10-15mins walk from the train station, as long as you're willing to walk up the hill! She also gave suggestions for what to do the next day before I headed to Adam's Peak, and arranged a tuktuk tour to take me there via Gartmore Falls, which I enjoyed. The cost was 14,000Rs, and I did enjoy the trip, but if you're on a budget then it's perhaps better just to skip the falls and take the local bus to Adam's Peak. All in all, highly recommended, and it was a pleasure to stay with Priyanthi.

Priyanthi and her husband are very kind and helpful. She prepared us breakfast and dinner and it was delicious. We enjoyed the view a lot. The room was convenient and fursnished with blankets. It is located near the train station, you can go by walking. We went to the adam's peak by tuk tuk as adviced by the host and it was a very good choice. It was very nice to meet you Priyanthi, we wish you the best as well as your family.

“misleading information! It is NOT a Vila !”

We stayed 1 night so we can climb Adam’s peak…. It was a big mistake to stay here due to the long drive to the starting point. Host are nice couple, helpful and on site. The place advertised as a VILLA… but it is far from being the vila we know… This place allocate on the top of the hill, far from everything and need a transport to get to town and back. The VILA is actually one level in the middle of a 5 story building, 2 bedrooms and a sitting area . Other guest rooms allocated upstairs and downstairs… so as you can understand, it is not a VILA … Villa means a free standing house all to your self with a garden…. Keep in mind that you staying in the middle part of a building!

“Definitely recommend this place ✅”

I really enjoyed my stay, everything was perfect, very pleasant and welcoming family

Priyanthi is a carrying host with a very kind family. She helps you organising your trips, tours & transfers and is serving delicious home made food. I had a great stay and felt comfortable. I got the chance to meet further family member, of a private tea factory visit ... Hatton itself does not have a (western standard) touristic infrastructure, but is surrounded by an incredible countryside: tea plantation as far as you can see, mountains, waterfall, lakes. All you can see/discover on your trip to Adams Peak. Thank you, Priyanthi for taking care of me.

Owners so friendly lovely food and nice clean room No

“Best place and best family in Sri Lanka”

I had an incredible stay at the Top View Hotel. I was welcomed with open arms and treated like family. The meals are the best in all Sri Lanka, the room pleasant and very clean and the view magnificent. The hotel manager helped me organize my stay and negotiate the tuk tuk prices which were very reasonable. She’s full of ideas and little touches to make your stay comfortable! The hotel is located in the heights of Hatton, quiet, but is only 10 minutes walk from the center. Thank you again, I hope to see you again!

“One of the best places to stay in Sri Lanka!”

Well, what can we say about Top View that hasn’t been said by many other reviewers already… Prianti and ‘Hubby’ are most likely the kindest, most generous and loving people you might ever meet. We were immediately welcomed with warm regards and a cup of tea. The rooms here are spacious and clean and the shower is just right! The shared balcony boasts an amazing view of Hatton and the surrounding tea hills behind. The service here is more akin to spending quality time with friends than being waited on by ‘staff’. We were treated to delicious breakfasts and filling dinners, home cooked by Prianti herself. The food is restaurant quality and should not be skipped out on. Arguably the best place to get food in Hatton! Tuk tuk rides can be also arranged for you at a reasonable price if you wish to visit Adams peak and so on. Our stay at top view was made so enjoyable and relaxed that we left with a lump in our throats and a date in mind already for when we will return. Top View is top notch! Thanks again for making our stay in Hatton so enjoyable. With love, ‘Jesus’ and Caitlin xx

“Excellent hosts”

The hosts at this property are some of the most kind, caring and lovely people I have ever met. We stayed in Hatton so we could do Adams peak at sunrise, Priyanthi was very helpful and organised a tuk tuk for us at a great price. Very glad we stopped at this property 😁

“Super nice accommodation in Hatton”

Very nice and friendly little family, they help you with everything and the breakfast is gorgeous. You can sit and chill there on the big terrace.

“super nice hosts that will do everything for you to feel welcome and have a good time. best bed and sleep I got in Sri L”

brilliant view and the owners are crazy helpful and nice!! I had a brilliant stay there all thanks to Priyanthi and her husband! got great tips on what to do in the area and how to get to Adam’s Peak. Priyanthi even called my bus driver in Kandy (while I was already on the bus) to make sure he would drop me off at the right stop in passikudah. if I’ll be back in the area I will go there again.
