Vikings themed Fort on a hill with amazing views
Pros:

The place is designed as a Vikings-themed and gives a cool feeling of a fort on a hill. It’s on a hill with amazing views and the staff was very helpful & friendly.

Cons:

There’s nothing to dislike it’s on a hill so a small patch of road to reach it is quite steep. Could be difficult for some cars to reach however, I’m sure the staff is cooperative and assist where needed.

Pros:

The hotel was in a very quiet area..the rooms were v spacious with beautiful views...v also got free upgrade and staff at the reception were very polite and helpful..The resturant food was good and fresh made they also serve halal..

Cons:

It was little on the mountain but I guess for beautiful views that's good enough but totally accessible through car..it will take little bit time to get up the hill...

La struttura rispecchia le foto, tuttavia lo stato di manutenzione ed igene è estremamente scarso. Qualità prezzo pessim
Pros:

La vista, la stanza spaziosa, lo stile della costruzione, personale disponibile e gentile.

Cons:

Stanza poco pulita, odore di umido/muffa, jacuzzi sporca (quindi non utilizzabile), presenza di una sola stufetta piccola (non accesa prima del nostro arrivo) su una stanza molto grande, deumidificatore non funzionante, numerosi blackout.

Pros:

Schöner Ort mit wunderbarem Essen. Sehr nettles bemühtes Personal. Sehr gemütliche Betten in riesigem Zimmer!

Cons:

Als wir ankamen konnte unsere Buchung nicht gefunden werden und als ich auf mehrfache Nachfrage, ob sie denn jetzt ein Zimmer für uns hätten keine Antwort bekam, hat es mir den Einstieg wchon etwas verhagelt. Klare Kommunikation wäre besser! Alle waren aber sehr nett!

Kleiner Tipp: Ich hatte eine unruhige Nacht, weil durch den starkem wind rine Metalltür zum Balkon dauernd krachte. Leider habe ich erst spät rausgefunden, dass die Tür das Probelm war, das dann durch davorschieben eines Stuhls behoben werden konnte.

Pros:

Hotel sicuramente particolare e sopra la media rispetto alle strutture cingalesi (intendo quelle con prezzi accessibili) camera ampia e confortevole, box doccia enorme. Colazione buona e abbondante, abbiamo anche cenato in struttura e mangiato un pane Naan divino. Avevo anche ordinato un curry di lenticchie dimenticando di specificare “no spicy” e arrivandomi un piatto per me troppo piccante per poterlo mangiare, il cuoco é stato gentilissimo e mi ha prontamente fatto servire una versione non piccante, senza sovraprezzare il conto. I succhi di frutta invece, superlativi in tutto lo Sri Lanka, qui ci hanno un po’ deluso. In generale staff servizievole, accoglienza con tazza di tè, camera con tutti i comfort

Pros:

Super nettes Personal und die Lage ist auch sehr schön. Man hat eine super schöne Aussicht und die Unterkunft ist an sich auch wirklich schön (Vikings angehaucht)😊
Alles war sauber😊

Cons:

Dadurch, dass es in dem Gebiet eher kälter ist, war auch unser Zimmer kalt. Die Heizung hat leider nicht richtig für Wärme gesorgt und zudem war die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Zimmer recht hoch. Dadurch wurden ein paar Sachen etwas feucht. Zudem ist unser Whirpool auch nicht richtig warm geworden. War etwas schade und rechtfertigt dann den Preis nicht wirklich 🫠

Overall an amazing stay at the hotels. Good and caring staffs and the views are amazing
Pros:

The location was a bit secluded but perfect for privacy. Very nice view and comfortable large bedroom. The chef was very helpful and caring. Make sure to book a town trip through the hotel, Tuktuk driver Yohan is the funniest and the most loving guy in Nuwara Eliya. Food is great and eveynight at 18:00 they make a bonfire which is so relaxing with a perfect view. Family stays and group stays, this is a great location

Cons:

Very secluded area. Not much people seeing around.
