    The owner went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The breakfast was delicious. Thanks to the short cut the location is just a short walk from the city centre. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a cheap but great place to stay in Nuwara Eliya.

    This was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Sri Lanka. I received a warm welcome from the staff there. The place is very clean, warm, and relaxing. The food is five-star quality—no joke. It was really delicious and well-presented, thanks to Chef Steve and the hotel manager Malinda for taking care of me during my stay, and thanks to the rest of the team, Srikant and Moghan. Location is good, there is a supermarket near band it's close to Gregory lake. There is hot water for shower.

    Very clam and quiet location and an ideal place to relax. Middle of the town has access to anywhere. Staff was exceptionally helpful for elderly ladies who went with us. Very clean rooms, good food and worth for expenditure. Also arranged a barbecue on our request at short notice without any negative attitude. Spent a good & relaxed vacation.
