We booked a room at The Trevene over the phone on the same day as our arrival because it looked good in Rough Guide. We were told we could get a room for rs3000 and they could pick us up from the train station. But when we arrived at the station we called them and discovered that in fact they... More

Our room was spacious and inviting with high ceilings, a fireplace, and an enormous bathroom. The house was full of fresh cut flowers, most from the gardens. We had our welcoming tea in the garden and an excellent dinner in the sunroom. Our hostess and the manager were extremely friendly and helpful. Top marks all around!

A spacious, comfortable room with high ceilings and a fireplace. Tea in the garden. Gracious, gracious hosts. What more could you ask? The building itself is a 200 year old colonial villa that is on the national list of historic properties; it has all of the charm that implies, yet has been completely modernized. The food was excellent and the... More

We were supposed to stay there for 3 nights during our holiday in Sri Lanka. After check in and getting to our room we heard a knock on the door by the owner who said we could stay only for 1 night as she had double booked the family room. So we had to leave the next morning. All she... More

We stayed only one night at The Trevene and really liked this place. We had booked a room with a fireplace In the bedroom, which was a really good idea as it is very cold In Nuwara Eliya at night! We had diner at Grand Indian, which was OK but not great, but you can have diner at the Trevene... More

The Lonely Planet and Guide de Routard rave about The Trevene which first of all we found overpriced for the type of room you get and compared to other "touristy" places; the dinner was served cold "spaghetti bolognese" made with greasy ground beef a dinner we paid more for than the same spaghetti bolognese of the Grand Hotel in Kandy!...

We stayed at the Trevene for 2 nights, after hearing so many travellers talk about their disappointment at not having time to stay in Nuwara Eliya as they passed through the hill country. We loved the town and loved this little colonial bungalow that had been turned in to a guesthouse. The French Sri Lankan woman running it was the... More

This small hotel is no five-star gem, but rather a taste of colonial times and Sri Lankan hospitality. From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel very welcome as if it were their home we were staying at. On a hill overlooking the gardens, the hotel is situated in a historic villa and while it lacks the refinement... More

We booked this place as it was top choice in LP. We found it shabby, grubby and overpriced. Our room was next to the lobby and extremely noisy in the early morning when we needed a much needed lie in after traveling. The pillows were hard and the towels musty and grubby. The room was cold, and we were very... More
