    it's great place but for foreigner they charge fees for everything such as entry fee to enter the place to visit and there is no any free facility which is not good. as a traveler we are going to visit city and promote the city on our social networks therefore we should have some facility to get some exempt the charges to view more about city. every attraction they have entry fee.

    A good place for visiting the Horton Plains National Park- negociate locally for the 40 min drive in a Tuk Tuk ( 9000 lks is about right). It has a nice lake to walk around. The Rough Guide though old is still very useful. The centre is small and compact with good facilities .. The exception is the 'Tourist Office' close to the bus station.. It is close to useless - dont look for impartial advice as the owner has his own Tuk Tuk!. Victora Park is worth a stroll.

    Quaint little town in the hills.

    Quaint little town in the hills. So, cooler climate and perfect spot to take a break from the sweltering heat in Colombo. La Grande Villa is just a 10 minute walk from town and a 5 bedroom boutique hotel, which makes it the ideal place for a quiet, restful stop before Ella.

    Nuwara Eliya is a sleepy town nestled within acres of tea estates , which has maintained a lot of its colonial buildings that it almost looks like a different country altogether. Hence the name Little England. It is best suited for an Individual or family that is looking to just relax at one property with great views , dabble in luxury (there are a few options) , do a little bit of sightseeing (all nature related) and experience the architecture of the town itself. It’s non-touristy.. None of the places we visited were crowded or dirty. The town sleeps by 10pm.

    we spent 2 days in the off season (mid feb 2024) which was perfect, no overcrowding, mad traffic and great weather.

    The location was excellent, very close to the city center and few key attractions. The staff were also very helpful with finding our interests and suggesting other places that would interest us. Food provided was very tasty and plentiful. Also, every auto and cab driver in the city knew the place by name, so we did not have to explain the route or location to anyone. Would love to visit the place again and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Nuwara Eliya cuz I doubt you will find better value anywhere else.

    Although this hotel is located about 30 minutes outside of Nuwara Eliya town, the view from the hotel is 100% worth the drive. One of the only hotels in the area on a hill, nestled amongst tea fields, where you have a view of the tea covered hills below and the passing train on its way to Ella. Most other hotels are in town, set in the valley with not much of a view. The pool is incredible, amazing views as well and temperature controlled so even on a cloudy, chilly day we were able to swim comfortably.

Breakfast is amazing! Highly recommend this hotel to the visitors. Around the scenery is beautiful. Its walking distance from the hotel to Gregory lake is another chance to walk. Furthermore, I think it's a fantastic experience We gained Nuwara Eliya from this excellent Queensland Hotel hotel. Thanks.

    Amazing place in a quiet area, yet very close to the city centre. Nice room with everything you need, tasty breakfast and most importantly, an awesome host. I felt like I made a friend in Nuwara Eliya. I will definitely book again here when I come back! Also, if you want information about the area or to make a tour, the owner knows everything: places, people, and could arrange something for you, depending on what you want to see and how much time you have. Could only recommend!

(10 min walk).The owner is very friendly, the room is clean, hot shower and the bed is so soft and warm. They have a washing machine for your laundry and places to hang and let it dry. They have umbrellas for the rainy weather and there is free tea available. Can only recommend this place if you want to explore Nuwara Eliya and further.

Our two nights in the hotel was wonderful. breakfasts are good, it is tea, black coffee, fried eggs, pancakes and desert. I definitely will book a room again when will go to Nuwara Eliya.

    Lovely colonial hotel. Warm comfortable rooms and walking distance to town. This hotel is full of character. Pack your Sunday best for after 7pm as you’re required to dress up for dinner and the bar (men can borrow a jacket and tie). It’s all part of the charm of the hotel. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Would definitely recommend for your stay in Nuwara Eliya.

    Wonderful small hotel in Nuwara Eliya which is walkable to pretty much everything in the town. The staff went out of their way to make my stay comfortable from giving me tips on what could be done during the very unfortunate curfew. The room was one of the largest of my trip and the bed super comfy. Great breakfast that was filling albeit humble.
