I stayed in the guesthouse with my driver. the stuff was quite helpful and actually was a decision making for me to really stay. The property is not bad, but not overwhelming too. I would not stay there for longer but for the overnight stay through the country the price was reasonable. The karaoke was loud till late night, good... More

Oh holy jeebus this place is special!! We stayed here as part of a trip organised by Rail Tours. From the moment we arrived I wanted to leave. The smell of cat wee in reception was overwhelming and matched by a smell of damp or mould in the tv room nearby. Part of the hotel roof was made with corrugated... More

Not recommended for a long time, but if you are in the region of Nuwara Eliya just for one night, what it offers is enough. There's no hot water in the shower enough, the bathroom is poor and linens smell musty. The hotel is plenty of mosquitos. But the breakfast was reasonable. The service was very friendly.

Seems like this hotel is in terrible decay. Our room seemed okay to start with (on the top floor with a great view) but after the checkin and and staying in the room it wasn't really up to standard. First of all there were loads of mosquitos in the room and no net or plug with mosquito repellant. When we... More

During our 31 night tour of Sri Lanka this was BY FAR the worst hotel we stayed at, It was absolutely filthy, noisy 24hours a day, the electrics clearly unsafe and all meals were at least 90 minutes after the stated time. The staff (on the rare occasions when they could be found) were most unhelpful. This hotel has no... More

Worst hotel on my trip... Bedsheets, pillows, carpets were all moldy and dirty. They didn't even provide towels... and even if they did... they too would be too dirty to use. I'm surprised that there were no cockroaches. The new manager was accomodating and friendly, so perhaps he will help to turn things around because this hotel needs a serious... More
