Truly magnificent property that sweeps you make to yesteryear. The offerings, the staff and the rooms were sensational . Another standout is the food, Michelin standard 6 course meal to be remembered and great value at $60.

The elegance of an English manor house combined with the warmth of Sri Lankan hosts. A dedicated and classy staff, ready to assist at any time of day or night. Delicious, varied meals, prepared with exceptional care and served with extraordinary artistic ingenuity – a full spectrum of colors and flavors. Rich, yet not overwhelming, interior design with stylish furniture. A peaceful atmosphere and pleasant ambiance. You can even play the piano.

    Nuwara Eliya’s weather is quite different from most of Sri...

    Nuwara Eliya’s weather is quite different from most of Sri Lanka due to its high elevation. Unlike the tropical heat in the lowlands, it has a cool, misty, and unpredictable climate. Temperatures can drop below 10°C at night, and rain showers are common even during sunny days. Before traveling, it’s best to: Check the weather forecast for rain, fog, or sudden temperature drops. Pack warm clothing, as evenings and mornings can be chilly. Carry an umbrella or light raincoat, since showers are frequent. Plan outdoor activities (like visiting tea estates, Horton Plains, or Gregory Lake) for clearer parts of the day. “We visited on rainy days, which made it impossible to see the main attractions, as most of the time it was foggy.”

    If you want to experience the coldest weather in Sri Lanka,...

    If you want to experience the coldest weather in Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya is the place to be. Often called “Little England” due to its colonial charm, this hill town offers beautiful scenery and plenty of attractions. Gregory Lake is a highlight, perfect for a relaxing walk or a boat ride. Having your own transport (ideally a 4x4) makes it easier to explore the surrounding hills and hidden routes. The town also has great spots to eat, drink, and enjoy warm hospitality. Don’t miss a visit to one of the colonial hotels that once hosted many famous figures, including Queen Elizabeth II in 1954. A must-visit destination in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hills!

    Great place to cool down in the highlands.

    Great place to cool down in the highlands. We actually use blankets, coats and hot showers in June, which was a very welcomed change to the scorching hot cultural triangle and beaches. The town is very close (5km) from one of the ends of the very underrated Pekoe Trail, a 300 km, 22 stages long distance hiking trail, that is very interesting to see not only the tea plantations but the life it rural communities. Also very interesting is to observe the many small, commercial vegetables gardens that are scattered all over town. The town is 1800 mts above the sea level, and in June, their monsoon season, was rainy. Everything was incredibly lush and green, and the temperature very pleasant.

    In the town you can visit colonial buildings (including the post office), Victoria Garden, Lake Gregory (that is probably a tuk tuk ride). There are opportunities to shop for gems. We also visited a number of very picturesque waterfalls, again a short tuk tuk ride away. We enjoyed plenty of hiking options a short car ride away from Nuwara Eliya. One segment of the Pekoe Trail starts in the nearby village of Kandapolla and it is the place where to take pictures of Sri Lankan countryside. The Horton Plains are also a car ride away. Nuwara Eliya is probably the coldest town in Sri Lanka. Make sure you pack warm clothes!

    A Nice and clean hotel with the available facilities. The owner of the hotel Mr. Roshan is very nice and friendly guy. He is very caring, helpful and supportive to his guests. I recommend anyone who is planing to trip to Nuwara Eliya and stay at 'Roshan Guest House', you will definitely like the place with reasonable price and very welcoming gesture by the owner Mr. Rohan.

    Really nice hostel, very clean, hot showers, comfortable beds. Nuwara Eliya is cold at night in general but we found the duvets to be nice and warm so it was fine. 10 minute walk to shops and restaurants. 2 minute walk to the grand hotel where there is a nice cafe for coffee. Hosts were very helpful with advice, also very laid back, felt very comfortable there.

    The welcome tea and ginger buscuits was nice. I didn't try the 1,300 rupee breakfast, which sounded like the ones included at two other Nuwara Eliya hotels where I've stayed for the same price (Lassana Villa and King Fern Cottage).
