A very nice looking, English cottage - they have a lot of wooden heritage items in all rooms in the bungalow. Spacious rooms - with sofas, bed, and large rest rooms. Wifi Internet was not working most of the time. Friendly front desk, but not much knowledgeable. Food options in house was not great, but a great Indian restaurant is... More

From outside, nice to look at, but the rooms are pretty much come down. We stayed in the high season month April and it was absolutely overpriced for what is offered! Standard rooms are small and from our bathroom came a very unpleasant smell, so they offered to switch to a suite, which was bigger and nicer and the smell... More

We spent two nights at Nuwara Eliya during our trip to Sri Lanka. We ended up at Glendower as we had to make last minute changes to our plans and had to find a stay at Nuwara Eliya. After going around in Nuwara Eliya for sometime, we decided on this property. Glendower is a lovely heritage English bungalow that has... More

We stayed here for two nights. It is a small guest house with 10 rooms, a restaurant, bar and a nice garden. The rooms are decent size but very dated. Mattress very soft and haven't slept in such a bed for ages. Television with satellite and free wifi is a big plus. Since most people go to the Horton Plains... More

On our tour round Sri Lanka we spent two nights at the Glendower hotel in Nurewa Elya, a nice an homely hotel, with a Chinese restaurant with the kind of food we have been longing for after 2 weeks of mainly Sri Lankan plates. Although in the night the temperature dropped till Dutch weather in wintertime (3- 5 degrees), rooms... More

This has a English cottage feel to it. The rooms are cosy and clean. Heaters are provided for. The hotel has a well stocked bar, a pool table, and free wi-fi. Meals were included in our package and the hotel staff pampered us by preparing a meal of our choice. The hotel can boast of a beautiful garden.

The hotels at Nuwara Eliya are much more expensive than those at other parts of Sri Lanka. At higher prices, the expectation is of course greater. I only get to stay one night here and I wish I can extend my stay for at least another few days. The hotel has a cosy lounge with nice ambience. The staffs were... More

Don't get me wrong - this has the makings of a good hotel. Its got an English country cottage style atmosphere and the rooms and public areas are quite good (although thay could restrict smoking in them). But the service and the restaurant! When we arrived we were ignored at reception whilst 2 staff finished a conversation. One couple in... More

Our second visit as a family to the Glendower and the same high standard of comfort and service! Milan and his staff are to be congratulated on their quiet efficiency and politeness. We enjoyed our meals in the restaurant and the chef even cooked his excellent rhubarb crumble at our request! This is just the kind of relaxing place to... More
