Pros:

The location was great and the building is very beautiful.
The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom was really nice. Although the shower was a bit funky to use.

Cons:

We had a misadventure with the breakfast but the problem was quickly fixed.
The sheets in our bed looked like they were used just before and were not cleaned (but maybe it was just an impression). Cleanliness was not the best.
The host said that this is classified building so they are not allowed to make any changes to the rooms but this kind of felt like it was an excuse to not renovate some aspects of it.

Overall my favorite place in Nuwara eliya and I have been to many!
Pros:

It's a hidden gem, a property not like any other in Nuwara eliya city area. Colonial building with elegance. Large rooms, comfy beds and lovely garden for a good time celebration. The staff was super healthful. If you go to Nuwara eliya you must stay in a place like this to experience the climate.

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

I wish I had stayed longer!

The hotel was built in the colonial style with beautiful gardens and large rooms that are kept well. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and they provide you a heater for the colder nights. The staff were so friendly and could not have made my stay more comfortable. They adapted meals to my requests, always checking if I needed more food or drinks.

Would highly recommend staying here

Great historical setting
Pros:

Great chef and the location has most things in walking distance. The best part for me was the bed, after so many bad experiences while traveling here in Sri Lanka, for the first time I had a proper (sized) bed. The breakfast and setting just made the whole experience complete. Would definitely recommend.
