The Argyle is a real gem.
Pros:

Fantastic location looking out over tea plantations. All the comforts of a luxury hotel, but on a small, friendly scale. Great buffet spreads and very attentive staff. Thankyou to Nadan, Arusha, Ravindu, Tanya and Budha for making our stay so memorable - despite the weather!

Pros:

The Staff was amazing. They were all very friendly and generous.
Shiva is a genius with the Phone Camera. While you are there , do take the opportunity to have him click some pictures around the property. Trust me you will not be disappointed

Cons:

The property is 1.5 hours from Nuwara Eliya and there isn't much to do around. So you will have to make the 3 hour round trip to the town to see the tourist destinations

Relaxing, comfortable and made us feel truly cared for
Pros:

The property was lovely and the staff was exceptional. I have never seen such caring and considerate who went out of their way to accommodate every request. Vidu, Jana and Srikanth made us feel at home and cared for every need - anticipating our requirements even before we could ask. We will definitely return

Cons:

Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way

Pros:

Vanaf het moment dat je binnen komt voel je je welkom! Ontzettende fijne ontvangst door een dame die perfect engels spreekt. Heerlijk kopje kaneelthee als welkomstdrankje met een stukje snoep erbij.

Dan de kamer: prachtig! Schoon, ruim en netjes. Adapters zijn te verkrijgen bij de receptie. Op de kamer lagen heerlijke koekjes klaar.
Uitzicht vanuit de kamer is magnifiek, Op het zwembad en de bergen.

Het hotel is echt een boutique hotel, weinig kamers dit voelt meteen luxe.
Het heeft een gezellige bar waar je kunt poolen.
We hebben in de avond in het hotel gegeten. Je kunt a la carte eten maar ook buffet. Wij hebben a la carte gegeten en daar hadden we geen spijt van. Heerlijk!
Het ontbijtbuffet was het beste buffet wat wij tot nu toe gehad hebben. Veel keuze, vers. Je kunt je ei laten bakken hoe je wilt maar ook verse egg hoppers laten maken. Er waren diverse warme en koude gerechten en gebak.

Bij het uitchecken nog een presentje gekregen.
Dit was by far het beste hotel in Sri Lanka. Het personeel weet wat hospitality is en vreselijk lief is.

Ps. Ook de wifi is overal goed!

Cons:

Dat we er niet een hele week waren.

Pros:

The Argyle Luxury Boutique Hotel was one of the best hotels of our trip to Sri Lanka.

The staff were exceptional, (especially Mr.Vithu) —warm, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout our stay. Their hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived

The hotel itself is beautiful, surrounded by lush tea estates with breathtaking views. The peaceful setting, fresh mountain air, and tranquil atmosphere make it the perfect escape from the busy tourist areas. If you're looking to relax and experience the beauty of Sri Lanka's hill country, this is the place to stay.

The property is well maintained, the rooms are clean comfortable, and waking up to panoramic views of the tea plantations is an unforgettable experience.

If you prefer a calm, peaceful retreat rather than the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots, I highly recommend Argyle Hotel. It offers the perfect combination of outstanding hospitality, stunning scenery, and complete relaxation.

Pros:

I travel quite often and have stayed at many hotels, but I’ve never experienced such a consistently high standard of hospitality across an entire hotel. It was truly exceptional. 👏

It’s incredibly rare to find a place where the same level of kindness, warmth, professionalism, and genuine care is reflected across every department. Whether it was the reception team, concierge, housekeeping, the spa, the restaurant, the café, or the luggage attendants, every interaction reflected that same exceptional standard of hospitality. That level of consistency is a reflection of outstanding leadership and a culture that clearly puts guests first.

The location is also excellent, with incredible views.

Highly recommended!

Pros:

We had a truly fabulous stay at Argyle Resort and cannot recommend it highly enough.

After a long journey from Negombo through the breathtaking scenery of Sri Lanka’s hill country, we arrived at this incredible oasis tucked away in the hills of Hatton, surrounded by lush greenery and the fresh aroma of tea plantations. From the very first moment, the experience was exceptional.

We were warmly greeted by the entire staff and honestly did not know how to respond to such genuine kindness, hospitality, and friendliness. We travel frequently and have stayed in many hotels around the world, but we have never experienced such a heartfelt welcome before.

To make our stay even more special, we were generously upgraded upon arrival. The rooms are beautifully designed, extremely comfortable, with wonderfully cozy beds and spacious bathrooms that made it so easy to relax after our travels.

Everything about this resort feels peaceful, elegant, and personal. The stunning surroundings, attentive service, and warm atmosphere created an unforgettable experience for us.

Thank you to the entire Argyle team for making us feel so welcomed and cared for. We will certainly remember this stay for a very long time.
