In the center

In the center, 1 min walk to the coolest pub and restaurant. The guy who met us at the reception was so nice and they accepted a last minute booking. The room was clean and tidy, with a shared balcony. Very convenient and recommended.

Very nice, but dirty place

Remember, Nuwara Eliya is cold city in comparison with other Sri Lanka. There is was air conditioning as a heater. Kettle, tea and coffee. Toileters (soap, shower gel, shampoo and toilet paper) available. Towels were fresh, but overall cleanness was below average, floor was dirty, foot towel also was dirty. So we used our own slippers whole stay. Stuff is friendly and welcoming, card payment is available, which is good! Wifi is there and worked fine first few days, then it becomes slow because of unstable signal, since traffic was there. Grand hotel, post office, police office, bus stop is not far away, in 10mins walking even less

Disappointing stay, not clean

The location was very good, close to centre of town and walkable to attractions. They provided filtered water in the rooms in a reusable bottle to save plastic.
