Pros:

我不建议中国人来住这家住宿！原因是这家住宿外面不同意晾衣服，干洗机坏了，给你们加热器给衣服干，结果衣服没有干好，收费RS 2000 (人民币45元）！太失望了！

Cons:

我不想说了！

Feucht und nicht weiterzuempfehlen.
Pros:

Nicht viel. Die Lage ist passabel. Mehr aber auch nicht

Cons:

Das Zimmer insgesamt war sehr sehr schlecht.
Es war so feucht in dem Zimmer, dass unsere Kleidung im Koffer nass wurden. Die langanhaltende Feuchtigkeit ist ebenfalls an den Wänden festzustellen.
Lautstärke war enorm, das Zimmer lag direkt an der Rezeption.

Comfortable Stay in Nuwara Eliya with Great Location
Pros:

We stayed at this cottage during our visit to Nuwara Eliya for the musical show Naadhagama. Overall, I would rate the stay 9/10. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with facilities to make tea or coffee, including tea bags, coffee sachets, and sugar packs. The bathroom was spotless, with hot water and decent water pressure, and the bed was very comfortable, allowing us to have a good rest.

The staff were very welcoming and maintained good communication, which made the stay pleasant. The location is also a highlight — conveniently close to the main road and popular attractions such as the Race Course, Victoria Park, and Gregory Lake.

Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were so attentive and helpful. We were arriving in later than expected and they had food prepared for us. The breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect as well very close to everything. Couldn’t recommend the accommodation enough - really happy with the accommodation and again the staff were just so great.

Leuk authentiek hotel met Britse uitstraling
Pros:

Het personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De kamer was ruim met een moderne badkamer.

Cons:

Niet dat het niet beviel maar het ontbijt is vrij basic zoals je eigenlijk op veel plekken in Sri Lanka krijgt; english breakfast met toast thee en koffie

Fantastisch
Pros:

We hadden de zolderkamer geboekt, maar toen we aankwamen kregen we een betere/ruimere kamer aangewezen. Super fijn! Personeel is vriendelijk, ontbijt is heerlijk en je loopt zo het centrum in.

Avoid until mold issue is resolved
Pros:

-

Cons:

The whole place seems to have a serious mold issue. It looked like they even tried painting over the mold in some places, but that’s not how you get rid of it...

I noticed it on the ceilings in the room I originally booked. When I asked for a different room, I was told that all rooms are occupied or booked, but after bringing up canceling my reservation I was shown 4 unoccupied rooms and they all had the same mold issue on ceilings.

Before I received the key to my room, it was sprayed with an air freshener, likely to hide the smell of mold.

Since I only booked 1 night there, and canceling was not possible, I stayed and saw the water leaking down the walls when it was raining.

I've always loved the idea of staying in a cottage, and I finally got to stay in one in here.
Pros:

Location and quietness were the 2 best parts about this stay. The room felt so cosy and warm, comfortable beds, and a great little TV in front to pop on just before bed.
