Very friendly clean hotel good value

Staff were all exceptionally professional, pleasant and attentive. Everywhere was very clean, despite the weather outside, the hotel had a warm homely feeling, nice cosy longe and bar areas. Nice location just outside town , if weather better could have explored the forest and not too far to walk to Gregory lake approx 1km or so.

A dose of Victorian elegance.

Very quaint place. Has a lovely colonial feel about it. It was cold (as always), but the staff helped with a heater and ensured that we were comfortable. The bar is a lovely place to sit and have a drink.

One of the nicest hotels of our trip, we recommend it if in Nuwara Eliya.

We liked that it was generally better kept than other hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. As with all hotels during our trip, the photos are always very well taken and not 100% real, but in this hotel the discrepancy between photo and reality was objectively less than usual. The food was great! A quite big and clean buffet in a lovely room.

You get better value somewhere else...

They helped us ordering a tuk tuk to different places in town. The bed was also pretty comfortable.
