This place is a gem 💎!!! Happy and satisfied is the least i can say about this fancy place! If you love cleanliness ( which sadly not as common in Sri Lanka in hotels ) and like to enjoy a place free of germs, spots, mold or any dirty bathrooms, then this is the place! I honestly found it cleaner than some 5 starts hotels in Colombo so not sure why it is rated 3 stars only. The actual rooms look more beautiful than the images showing. Everything is wood and stone. Fancy romantic lightings, super duper comfortable beds! ( omg better than what i have at home 🤪) Coming to the hotel was a bit of a challenge because the city doesn't take care of any sub roads sadly. Yet the road to this location is not bad at all compared to many other sub roads! My car had low bumper yet didn't have difficulty dealing with the road. However, my car stopped 500 meters before the hotel and would not move forward on a medium steep hill . . Had to ask my 3 family members to come down for me to continue and the then the owner was super kind, upon knowing, to rush down with his car and get my family up to the hotel. Then had issues with booking where i mistakenly booked 1 guest instead of 2 for each room ( was weird on booking.com). owner was more than courteous to honor the mistake making an exception and giving me the rooms for the same booking price! Our deluxe room had its own sink and water kettle. Also rooms have fast heaters if you get cold ( like my wife). The staff helped us with the luggage and welcomed us with tea. The view from this place is just magical! Tea estates, veges feilds, fog, hills, big trees and mountains. Also, you can see very closely the highest point in Sri Lanka. I am definitely coming back next year

    A good place for visiting the Horton Plains National Park- negociate locally for the 40 min drive in a Tuk Tuk ( 9000 lks is about right). It has a nice lake to walk around. The Rough Guide though old is still very useful. The centre is small and compact with good facilities .. The exception is the 'Tourist Office' close to the bus station.. It is close to useless - dont look for impartial advice as the owner has his own Tuk Tuk!. Victora Park is worth a stroll.

    Quaint little town in the hills.

    Quaint little town in the hills. So, cooler climate and perfect spot to take a break from the sweltering heat in Colombo. La Grande Villa is just a 10 minute walk from town and a 5 bedroom boutique hotel, which makes it the ideal place for a quiet, restful stop before Ella.

    Nuwara Eliya is a sleepy town nestled within acres of tea estates , which has maintained a lot of its colonial buildings that it almost looks like a different country altogether. Hence the name Little England. It is best suited for an Individual or family that is looking to just relax at one property with great views , dabble in luxury (there are a few options) , do a little bit of sightseeing (all nature related) and experience the architecture of the town itself. It’s non-touristy.. None of the places we visited were crowded or dirty. The town sleeps by 10pm.

    If you want to have a great stay in Nuwara Eliya with the old colonial flair, the Hill Club is the place to be. The service was excellent (we especially enjoyed the service of Ravi) and you feel taken back in time. Its easy to walk into town and to the adjacent Grand Hotel. We stayed the first night into a modern room (which was the best we had in 4 weeks Sri Lanka so far) and the other two in the old wing (as we wanted to check it out and we also enjoyed it there) - changing rooms was arranged without problems.

    Location-wise, the hotel was ideally situated in Nuwara Eliya. It was convenient to explore nearby attractions while also providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The staff at New Royal Mount, deserve a special mention. Their warmth and genuine hospitality made us feel like VIPs throughout our stay. From the front desk to the restaurant staff, everyone went out of their way to ensure our comfort and satisfaction.

    Heidi’s home is full of positive energy. The hotel is designed with a lot of color and full of little creative details. Our room was very spacious with a nice view on the lake. Also the garden is very cozy. It is situated a bit out of the Nuwara Eliya centre but it only takes a 25minute walk next to the lake with stunning views. Heidi is very helpful to all your requests and makes a very nice breakfast in the morning!

    The location is perfect, close to the center, the bus station and the Grand Hotel. The room (private room, two twin beds) was clean, there was a shelf, a hair dryer, international plugs, thick blankets. The water in the shower was warm. The host was nice and gave us tips for our time in Nuwara Eliya. There is a kitchen you can use (we didn't) and a common room. The breakfast was tasty.

    The room is outstanding, featuring a TV with a wide variety of channels. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, and the room itself is spotlessly clean. What's particularly notable is the bathroom's water pressure, which is impressively high—unlike anything I've experienced in other hotels in Nuwara Eliya. Additionally, this place is safe to stay in.
