Pros:

Het personeel is heel vriendelijk.

Cons:

Het hotel heeft echt zijn beste tijd gehad (juli 2026). Ze waren aan het verbouwen dus hopelijk wordt het beter. Prijs - kwaliteit verhouding is het niet waard.
We hadden een 4 persoonskamer met een groot twee persoonsbed en een enkel bed, één kind moest dus bij ons in bed slapen. Op zich geen ramp, alleen niet helemaal wat we verwacht hadden.

Homely and beautiful property
Pros:

A dated, very well-maintained colonial-style home! I was allowed an early check-in upon arrival, welcome drinks, and even a towel after a long-haul flight. The staff was very accommodating and hospitable to the requests. It's perfectly located just outside Victoria Park, and the breakfast served was exceptional. 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting Nuwara Eliya.

Very nice and ambitious hotel
Pros:

Location, Hospitality, politeness of staff, warm welcome, food, garden, colonial look and cleanliness.
It was my marriage anniversary and we planned tour to srilanka with my wife and daughter. We booked junior suit.
It's nearby to city center of nuwara eliya.

Mr. Benedict, is a nice person. He took care of us very good.
He arrange decoration in bar room with baloons and all stuff. He arranged very nice wine bottle and such a nice premium quality cake with sparkling ✨️ candel.
Mr. Benedict and all staff really make my day. I cannot forget the all things they do for me and my family.

Highly recommend for stay in nuwara eliya.
