Clean, nice, but nothing exciting going on
Pros:

It was super clean, big rooms, hot shower, and amazing staff!

Cons:

The location is quite out of the way from anything walking distance. Luckily it is very easy to get a tuk tuk!

Other things that weren’t ideal for us: you cannot buy any alcohol onsite (they do offer a beer/wine delivery). There is nothing to do, like no activities at the hotel. Was gorgeous but just a bit boring for a rainy day.

Excellent stay
Pros:

The room and the views make it worth the money.

Cons:

Hard to find rides since it’s a bit far from the city center. However, the hotel has a service for helping you find TukTuk

Pros:

El personal muy amable y atento, los propietarios también, se prepcuparon mucho por nosotros.

La habitación muy espaciosa, limpia y cómoda.

Las vistas son muy bonitas.

Cons:

Por decir algo “negativo”, la habitación al llegar estaba un poco fría de temperatura, hay un aparato para calentar la habitación pero tiene poca potencia.

Esto no fue un handicap para que la estancia fuese muy cómoda.

Zu empfehlen
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr schön eingerichtet-wie eine Burg/Festung eben. Das Zimmer war riesig und hatte alles was man braucht. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und alles war sauber. Das Hotel liegt weg vom Stadtkern in sehr ruhiger Lage am Berg mit Blick in die Baumkronen. Das Frühstück war lecker.
Ist zu empfehlen.

Jeden nocleg w ładnej miejścowości (jezioro i ogród botaniczny).
Pros:

Bardzo duży pokój (nawet z szafą) z dużą ładną łazienką (odgrodzony prysznic), Kolacja i śniadanie OK.

Cons:

Poza miastem na wzgórzu z trudnym dojazdem. Trochę chłodno na początku.

Gem of Nuwara Eliya
Pros:

Nice overall decor like some old English castle; sort of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones fusion ambience. This is the highlight of this hotel. Friendly and helpful staff especially Richard whom seems to be everywhere addressing your needs. It was a pleasant stay here with nice comfortable rooms and although without AC (don't need one as it is already so cold there). Nice clean toilets with modern fittings and centralized hot shower. The view from lobby and even from the rooms was spectacular. Food was good too , although its a set order instead of buffet, the quantity was sufficient and delicious. Not too far from town (about 2km) and the hotel can arrange for a tuk tuk for you at the best local rate (almost close to pickme rate). They assisted for pack breakfast for us on the day we departed as we needed to catch a train at 6am.

Cons:

Nothing actually but if I had to say something, the road leading to the hotel was bad ( last 100meters) due to an apartment construction next to the hotel. I was told they are planning to repair the road soon, hopefully its completed soon. One tip, there is a side entrance (at the carpark) which you will see first but that requires you to climb a flight of steep steps to reach the lobby, but actually you need to drive around to reach directly to the lobby without these steps .

Very nice but area surrounding it was still being developed
Pros:

View from the room was great. Room was very large staff were very accommodating

Cons:

Road to it wasn’t great so driver struggled to get there. There was a dog at another property outside who barked a lot at night unfortunately but not the hotel’s fault.

Not worth the money
Pros:

The breakfast was one of the best we had during our stay at Sri Lanka and the staff was very friendly.

Cons:

The property feels abandoned. The location is hard to get and the hotel seems to be under construction.
