“Wonderful accommodation”
We loved our stay at The Train View! The host family is the friendliest people! They were so accommodating and went the extra mile for us to be as comfortable and informed about Nuwara Eliya as possible. We had to check out at 07.00 our last day, and still they woke up to make us breakfast at 06.15. The breakfast was delicious and they served amazing locally produced tea. The host told us everything we needed to know about buses and the train to Ella. The view was amazing and it was only a short walk to the most beautiful waterfall. The Train View is located 15 minutes outside of Nuwara Eliya town, but the town is all about nature which made the location perfect. We really want to recommend this wonderful accommodation!

“Close to station and good for one night stay”
Small guesthouse next to the station. Nice host family! Room is spacious and everything is superclean. I asked Host to make me nice small dinner and breakfast was hearty and plentiful - bananas, pancakes with sweet coconut, noodles and dahl Bed was okay but on hard side Shower was cold water 🤣 They met me with tuktuk from station at night and i also asked driver for a tour around- Ramboda falls, Bluefield tea factory, few sites around Nuwara Eliya Left at 8, came back around 1:30. Cost was 6000 lkr Getting there: Elevation is high, so I would not recommend walking upstairs woth heavy bags, but there are stairs next to the house (google shows only drive road - which I would not recommend to walk - it’s quite wet)

“Amazing”
We stayed one night at The Train View, and it was an unforgettable experience. Selva and his family were wonderfully warm and welcoming, serving us delicious homemade local dishes for both dinner and breakfast. The chicken curry was outstanding — rich in flavor and absolutely worth trying. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. From our room, we were treated to a breathtaking panorama of endless tea plantations, a view we will always remember.

“Great stay near Nanuoya — comfy room, good breakfast, friendly owner, and close to the train station.”
clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was really good and homemade. The location is perfect — just a few minutes from Nanuoya town, the train station, and the Nanuoya ella waterfall. Plus, the house owner was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!
