Pros:

Je to veľmi krasný hotel s kolonialnym nádychom, salóniky zariadene dobovým nabytkom , vo vázach čerstvé kvety, na stenách miestne fotografie z minulosti. Je to tiché miesto blízko mesta. Peronál je milí a ústretoví.

Lovely stay! Best for if you have a tuk tuk or transport
Pros:

Pretty property and lovely owner/ staff - can’t fault them.

Cons:

The area didn’t feel safe - the walk out of the property to any main attractions isn’t great. There are also tones of stray dogs just outside the gate so walking at night wasn’t ideal. It wasn’t well located if you are intending to be by foot. We ended up using the tuk tuk driver from the hotel (who was fab! And took us down to town for dinner etc!) which worked well but we were gutted we couldn’t explore more by foot as we only had one night.

Pros:

The hotel is nicely designed. Very stylish!

Cons:

I would rate 10 of 10 if there was an European buffet breakfast. The breakfast was totally awful, coffee was too bad! It is not acceptable for a 5-star hotel.

Splendido soggiorno a Nuwara Eliya - per farsi coccolare!
Pros:

Struttura incantevole, con giardino all’inglese curatissimo. Si respira una pace e una tranquillità da sogno. Il personale è estremamente disponibile e gentile. La camera era molto spaziosa e luminosa, pulitissima, con una bella finestra con sdraio che dava sul giardino interno, perfetta per leggere. Servizio di colazione e cena squisiti (grazie allo Chef Don Francis!). Raccomandatissimo!

Cons:

Nulla, tutto perfetto.

Not value for money in our opinion. Due to the above issues. We kept being told fiffeee te be things.
Pros:

Building looks lovely from the outside.

Cons:

No atmosphere in the hotel, the corridors all echo.
You have no privacy in the bathroom. Wooden blinds in the bathroom that are open & can not be closed. We had to put face towels in the gaps for privacy.
Our bathroom also had an issue with the drains so the smell was terrible.
