    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.

    we spent 2 days in the off season (mid feb 2024) which was perfect, no overcrowding, mad traffic and great weather. We stayed 1 night in a studio apartment and 1 night at a small guest house both were perfectly maintained and very nice accommodations well worth the price. check the weather and go in the off season to enjoy and relax in NE as it should be done!

    Nuwara Eliya is gorgeous.

    Nuwara Eliya is gorgeous. But the hotel we booked, we stayed with difficulty for one night, then left at dawn. We then stayed at for a week at another place, which was lovely. Nuwara Eliya is a very beautiful hill station. Nature has been preserved well. Old style buildings add to the beauty of nature. Especially noteworthy are: Post Office Building, old heritage buildings, Victoria Park. Amazing waterfall near railway station. Station is quite far from town. Nuwara Elia is well served by buses from almost all parts of Sri Lanka. Travel by rail is very pretty, but returning by night train is not advisable: the train is always late, and what they call "sleeper" is actually a reclining seat.

    Beautiful serene mountainious city with lot of things to explore and homes are structured like castles which gave name to this city as Little England. The highlight is train travel from Nuwara eliya to Ella. Seetha Mata temple, Botanical gardens, Tea factories, Waterfalls, Shantipur village at the top most height and view from train while traveling to Ella are indeed something to be explored.. Roads to Nuwara eliya are really good and even u can use train to travel to Nuwara eliya from Colombo and get down to nearest station Nanu Oya which is 15 mins away by car from Nuwara eliya.. you have all eating options - local Sri Lankan food, Fast food like Pizza Hut etc.

    Ramboda falls are excellent, but could have avoided tuk-tuk expenditure if I would have planned to stop over while coming from kandy by bus. Lover's Leap waterfall is also good, but moderately difficult trek. The lake with park is just a tourist trap - can be avoided unless you are going as a family with children.

    Hotel with a unique beautiful design, located a bit on a hill, very good location, quiet, away from noise but very close to everything. We had amazing views from our balcony early morning, birds singing, fresh air. Room is spacios and clean, fridge, kettle in the room, that is nice. End of february it was warm and pleasant inside the room without a heater, as I know, usually in Nuwara Eliya it is cold inside the premises at night. Polite and friendly staff, good breakfast. Good and big bathroom with a window. We would stay again ☺

    The location was excellent, very close to the city center and few key attractions. The staff were also very helpful with finding our interests and suggesting other places that would interest us. Food provided was very tasty and plentiful. Also, every auto and cab driver in the city knew the place by name, so we did not have to explain the route or location to anyone. Would love to visit the place again and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Nuwara Eliya cuz I doubt you will find better value anywhere else.

    The place is just amazing. The rooms are small, but comfortable and extremely clean. The washroom is also clean and has hot water. The owner is very nice and helpful, give you all information you need. We used the option to have a dinner and the food was amazing for fair price. Breakfast - coconut pancakes and sandwiches - came with coffee and fruit. The hotel is a bit far from the centre, but as there is all you need, I see it as a big advantage! Calm and cozy place with view all around Nuwara Eliya. Fluffy blanket included.

    I actually ended up here at the last minute due to the late arrival of my train into Nanu Oya and being unsure of how to get to Nuwara Eliya upon arrival but later realized this spot is where I should have planned to stay the whole time. Nanuoya is a much a more peaceful location to base yourself and this spot is so comfortable with conveniences like a tea kettle, coffee, and tea in the room, great views of the tea plantations, and easy access to both the train and buses into Nuwara Eliya.

    We stayed 2 nights here to visit Nuwara Eliya. The hotel is located in a quiet area which is not far from the center. (10 min walk).The owner is very friendly, the room is clean, hot shower and the bed is so soft and warm. They have a washing machine for your laundry and places to hang and let it dry. They have umbrellas for the rainy weather and there is free tea available. Can only recommend this place if you want to explore Nuwara Eliya and further.

    We stayed just for 1 night. Our host Mr. Chandana was very friendly and helpful. This is situated pretty much in the heart of Nuwara Eliya (next to the Nuwara Eliya hospital). Clean room and bathroom. No heaters. Small rooms good for budget travelers or for over night stay. However parking is very very limited.
