The rooms is very basic. On the plus point the food in the resturant was good and the staff there were far more friendlier than... More

Very nice carpeted room, but bathroom could be really better. Also, the view through window was to the other part of the building, grid fence and someone's garden. As it is quite cool in the room, there is no possibility to rise the temperature, also, no complimentary coffee or tea, only bottled water. Also, the sounds from out of the... More

There is nothing to do with any forest here. Its just a name. The location is quite ordinary and the rooms are very small. At least the room we were given. There is no lift in the hotel and we had to climb up o third floor each time. Credit needs to be given for room facilities and cleanliness though.... More

This was the first day of our trip to SriLanka and we were yet to realize how difficult it is to get vegetarian food and also how expensive. After a tiring 5-6 hours journey from Colombo airport to Nuwara Eliya early in the morning, it was a shock for us to be told that they did not have much vegan... More

We landed up in Colombo early morning and drove directly to Nuwara Eliya. We had requested for an early check-in which was promptly honored by the staff at the front desk. We were a bit disappointed by the location of the hotel on the 1st day. Next day when we explored around we found a tea garden right behind the... More

The rooms appear to be hit and miss, so gon't be afraid to request a room change if not happy with the assigned one. Our room was recently renovated, however the bed linens and towels were not spotlessly clean. If tall enough, you'll see layers of dust on top of the bathroom mirror'-) I suppose we can forgive it, as... More
