À recommander
Pros:

Le calme, le style anglais désuet, l’amabilité du personnel. Surtout le petit feu de cheminée le soir dans la chambre. Petit déjeuner copieux.

Cons:

Rien

Pros:

Petit hôtel plein de charme dans une jolie petite maison de style victorien. C'est super mignon. La chambre est nickel et l'accueil excellent.
La gare routière et le centre-ville sont tout proches, à 10 minutes à pied.

Cons:

Le jardin et le cadre pâtissent terriblement de la construction du nouvel établissement du même propriétaire (le Green View Hotel). De plus, un autre immeuble est actuellement en construction juste derrière le Trevene et c'est très dommage.
Le petit-déjeuner est servi dans les locaux du Green View Hotel et c'est dommage. J'aurais nettement préféré déjeuner dans les salons coquets du Trevene.

Charming colonial era building with kind helpful staff
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and kind. They were also flexible as we swapped days at very short notice. The hotel is charming - a colonial era bungalow. The front rooms are enormous and come with an adjoining sitting area. The building has not been modernised so won't suit everybody. Location is good.

Cons:

Sadly a huge concrete building is going up immediately behind the bungalow which will ruin the setting.

Good service, room extremely dark
Pros:

The location is really good - next to the park, which is the best thing to see in Nuwara Eliya, and about 10 minutes walk from the center.
The room is spacious and well-furnished.
The breakfast on the first day was below average (everything was cold, including the omelet), but on the second day it was excellent. No idea why it was so different, as we ate at exactly the same time on both days.
The young man who works as the manager was excellent - very polite, professional and helpful.

Cons:

The room was very dark. There is a window, but behind it, about 1 meter away, is a wall of another house. So even in daytime, the room felt like a basement. This is something I couldn't see from the photos, and it made me very uncomfortable. Considering the price of the room, I think the situation should be described here on the website.
Furthermore, the room was cold, and if you want a heater you need to pay extra. However, they did light a fireplace for us in the evening, which helped, but they only do it after 8 pm.

Pros:

La cama cómoda.
El chico que se ocupaba de la recepción fue muy agradable y con ganas de ayudar.

Cons:

Hacía mucho frío y la habitación estaba helada y muy húmeda. No tenía calefactor. La casa tenía dos chimeneas llenas de leña, pero no las quisieron encender. Nos dejaron un calefactor muy pequeño que no hizo nada.
En el restaurante lo mismo, una chimenea enorme que tampoco quisieron encender; comimos heladas.
Todo muy antiguo, la casa, las instalaciones, el baño muy viejo y cutre.
La wifi no funcionaba.
La habitación muy oscura solo tenía una ventana que daba a una especie de vertedero.

Heerlijk
Pros:

Romantische Engelse kamer. De host was enorm aardig en bood aan indien nodig het haardvuur aan te maken als het te kil werd. Het ontbijtbuffet was prima. Heerlijk warm water.

Cons:

De tweede slaapkamer was wat soberder en rook wat vochtig. De badkamer rook vrij vochtig. Het ontbijt was in het pand ernaast dat totaal anders was ingericht met neonlicht.

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Gute Pizza im Restaurant (zugehöriges Restaurant nebenan).
Jeden Abend haben wir den Kamin angehabt. Man fühlt sich wie im einer anderen Welt. Der Ort ist fussläufig gut zu erreichen.

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber mit Charme

Cons:

No heating, or you pay 3000 sr rupees extra for a portable heater... so we froze in a 16-degree bedroom. TV didn't work. The shower was either too hot or too cold. Wall plugs were broken. Wifi coverage was non-existent despite the extender being close by. Bleak bedroom with old-fashioned furniture. Not cosy at all like the rest of the hotel.
