    check-in hassle

    historic architecture, beautiful gardens, intimate snooker room

    The rooms could certainly use a serious upgrade for comfort!!! The bathrooms are small and outdated, which really detracts from the overall experience. Also, be prepared for potential check-in hassle if using a virtual card!!!

    charming hotel with great gardens but staff needs more training

    The historical charm of the hotel is captivating! My Deluxe Double Room offered a delightful garden view, which added to the pleasant atmosphere. The welcome drinks were refreshing, and the gym had good equipment for my workouts. I particularly enjoyed walking through the beautiful gardens. they were well-maintained and provided a serene environment.

    However, the staff could use more training on attentiveness.

    flavorful dinner
    exceptional breakfast
    short stay

    We only stayed here for one night, but I wish it could have been longer. I was especially captivated by the dinner at the Grand Thai, where the service was friendly and the food exceptionally flavorful. The breakfast buffet was a standout too, offering a delightful variety that set the perfect tone for the day. I would absolutely choose this place again next time I'm in Nuwara Eliya!

    colonial architecture
    beautiful gardens
    dining complications

    The heritage design features a stunning colonial architecture that transports you in time, especially with the vintage furnishings and decor. Well-kept gardens surround the premises, offering beautiful views that provide a cozy environment for relaxation.

    Check-in felt disorganized as the room wasn't ready upon arrival, causing a wait. Limited space in the breakfast room led to some uncomfortable dining conditions, with makeshift arrangements that fell short of expectations. Historical displays, while fascinating, carried captions that felt outdated and out of touch, lacking the sensitivity that modern guests appreciate. The food quality raised concerns. one guest reported serious health issues after dining, which raises questions about the kitchen's standards.

    friendly staff
    haughty staff
    misunderstandings at restaurant

    Had a lovely stay for two nights in a deluxe double room. The historic charm of the place with its beautiful gardens really stood out. I particularly enjoyed the buffet breakfast and the delightful Indian restaurant on the property. The staff was friendly, although a bit haughty at times, and there were some misunderstandings at the main restaurant. Overall, a great place to relax and soak up the atmosphere of Nuwara Eliya.
