Our host, Sanjaya, provided a warm welcome. Literally as he brought a portable heater into our room as the weather took a chilly turn. Great staff who could not have been more helpful with suggestions and with an umbrella! Breakfast was good too.

The charm of Nuwara Eliya

A charming boutique hotel in Nuwara Eliya! My family and I had a great stay here, the hospitality was second to none. From the welcome cup of tea to the morning breakfasts and games for the children, the colonial style was fantastic and made for a very welcome stay. The beds were conformable, the deluxe room had a lot of space and all the amenities you needed were provided. Highly recommended.

The opportunity to stay in a villa surrounded by tea fields was too hard to miss out on. We arrived from Badula on the train and were welcomed by the staff at the house. It was clean and comfortable and a 15 minute walk into town. The next morning we were given a great breakfast and then walked into the tea field adjoining the property. We watched the local women picking and sorting tea leaves. Certainly an authentic experience as we were in their backyard. The staff we very helpful in organising our dinner to be delivered from a restaurant in town for us. All in all, a wonderful experience that we would recommend, along with the amazing high tea at the Grand Hotel in town.

La chambre est très lumineuse avec de grande fenêtre et propre. Le personnel est vraiment à l'écoute de ses clients. Nous ne voulions pas sortir pour le repas du soir alors ils se sont occupés de nous faire livrer une pizza. Nous avons manger dans la belle salle à diner. Il y a aussi un très grand salon ou il fait bon lire !

Très bien, hôtel très agréable, il a plu toute la journée, on n'a donc pas pu trop profiter des champs de thé et des environs. Pour ce qui est de l'hôtel lui-même, il est mignon et agréable, on a eu une grande chambre style colonial. Par contre, l'isolation est vraiment plus que moyenne, on entend les autres personnes de l'hôtel parler, et tous les bruits extérieurs. Mis à part ça, c'est parfait.

Die Lage ist traumhaft. Man fühlt sich wie in einem englischen Garten - umgeben von Teefeldern und etwas außerhalb der Stadt. Wir wurden zur teatime mit Tee und Keksen im wunderschönen Wohnzimmer in Empfang genommen. Überall stehen frische Blumen. Empfehlenswert ist das Superiorzimmer mit Gartenblick. Das Frühstück wird liebevoll für jeden Gast zubereitet. Man kann über ein kleines Tor auf der linken Seite direkt in die Teefelder und dort einen Spaziergang machen. Absolut empfehlenswert

Simpática estadia no Tea Garden

Gostámos de ficar no tea garden, num estilo bungalow típico da zona. É uma casa com 3 quartos e se os “vizinhos” fizerem muito barulho ouve-se nos outros quartos pq na verdade é uma casa familiar. O staff é muito simpático e disponível e ajudaram-nos com um tour de tuktuk no pouco tempo que tínhamos disponível. O pequeno almoço muito bom. O quarto cheirava um pouco a humidade mas calculo que seja um problema de quase toda a região com a quantidade de chuva e humidade que tem Os cânticos dos templos que tinha lido em outros comentários existem mas não foram impeditivos de descansar. Pena não haver oferta de restaurantes mais próxima. Da para ir a pé até uma zona muito bonita de tea fields.

Avoid !

Very disappointed having booked and paid up front to be given a small room looking into a brick wall with the window painted white . The room and bathroom needed repainting it was very scruffy . The worst thing was the uncomfortable bed which needed a new mattress . There are lovely rooms with views shown on the website - this was not what we expected ! The breankfast was very good and the service was polite and welcoming but let down by the room

Nice and comfortable stay

We stay one night in the Tea Garden hotel, which is conveniently situated about 45 min from the World’s End trail in Horton Plains. The room was spacious, accommodating our family of four perfectly, and the beds quite comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. They packed a breakfast for our family (and driver!) in the early morning when we left for the park. The hotel is about 20-minute walk from an Indian restaurant if you are looking for dinner. Would recommend taking a cab when it’s dark as there isn’t any sidewalk for most of the way.
