The staff were very friendly and helpful but the hotel needs an update. There were signs of neglect, not sure if it was like that because we visited during off season. The hotel room had a musty smell, poor lighting. There is lot of room for improvement.

The staff behaviour was excellent, very welcoming. The room is clean and nice, situated right besides the Gregory lake. The atmosphere in the evening is excellent and charming. Although they do charge a little for walking down the lake, it's worth every penny.

Superb location and cabins

Superb location with great views, great staff who go above and beyond to help. Convenient location with just a few mins walk to the lake. Large spacious rooms with a deck above with another king size bed and toilet upstairs making it ideal for families or 3-4 adults.

A nice comfy place near the lake. There's not much nearby, although Nuwara Elya is a small town with most of the attractions just 5-10 mins away by car.

Lovely helpful staff. Went out on our first night and staff were waiting for us with a hot water bottle when we got back. Clean comfortable beds. Good breakfast in the morning. Great location next to Gregorys Lake.
