Pros:

A very comfortable family-run B&B. While initially found it a bit hard to locate, we later realized it is situated in a very accessible location just minutes from town center. Absolutely love the view from the place!

Pros:

Tolle Lage, sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, herzlicher Empfang mit Tee, grandiose Aussicht von der Terrasse.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war ausreichend, aber relativ einfach und das Toast war nicht getoastet. Im Zimmer gab es nur eine (schlecht funktionierende) Steckdose.

Lovely and and cozy place to stay in Haputale town
Pros:

The room is exactly as in photos, they have a lovely terrace with very very good view, place is in city center but a little bit hidden from main road. It is family owned place and we god all the good service and attention you may expect. Owner have lots of good information and tips about what to visiti arround and he explained about possibilities to use public transport to get to key spots which google didn't even know about. Overall, I recommend this place!

Cons:

Sometimes you can hear cars from the main road but this is normal if you want to stay close to city center.

Pros:

Emplacement idéal
Les hôtes sont tellement gentils. Les meilleurs hôtes de notre séjour au Sri Lanka jusqu'à présent et nous touchons la fin de notre séjour.
La nourriture du dîner est délicieuse, merci à Dima pour sa cuisine (Mention spéciale pour le jus de Mangue !!)

La vue est époustouflante, le tarif très abordable et la literie confortable.

Nous avons même partagé une part de gâteau avec le gérant et sa famille pour son anniversaire.

Il saura vous conseiller sur les activités à faire dans la région.

Le bâtiment est assez ancien mais donne un charme au séjour. Il y a de nombreuses terrasses en hauteur pour admirer la vue sur la vallée

Vous avez également la possibilité de faire un massage par des thérapeutes (attention c’est plus sport que relaxant, donc ça dépend de vos goûts !)

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner pourrait être amélioré car il est relativement simple (pain confiture, oeuf)

Pros:

Super guest house tenu par une famille adorable. Ils nous ont conseillés pour nos excursions et nos transports privilégiant toujours les moyens économiques. La vue sur les plantations de thé et les montagnes est magnifique. Vous êtes proche de la gare si vous voulez prendre le train pour Ella ou les bus. Des randonnées sont accessibles depuis l'hébergement. Le petit déjeuner est très bon. Nous avons également pris tous nos repas du soir là bas. Les propriétaires nous ont également préparés des sandwichs quand nous partions à la journée. Nous avons également testé les massages qui sont proposés en fin de journée. C'était incroyable. Nous recommandons cet établissement.

Cons:

L'humidité dans les chambres mais c'est la région qui veut ça. Difficile de faire autrement je pense

Pros:

L emplacement est superbe avec la terrasse sur la vallée et les champs de thé. Les hôtes sont au petit soin avec chacun et peuvent vous donner des conseils pour decouvrir la ville et les alentours ainsi que sur les bus et le train. .Beaucoup de plats proposés pour le dîner et la cuisinière les adapte à vos souhaits. Le petit déjeuner est soit occidental soit sri lankais. Chambre confortable et propre avec eau chaude dans la douche. Une grande pièce très chaleureuse permet de se poser entre 2 balades . La propriétaire parle bien le français.

Cons:

The room had a beautiful view over the hills. The staff was incredibly helpful and arranged for me the hiking to Kirigalpotta and recommended other hikes to do locally. The food was delicious.
