The view is magnificient and Nuwara Eliya was perfect. The rooms were perfect and big, with a clean bathroom and hot water. We should have stayed at least 2 nights instead of 1. A true recommendation.

The property has garden and city views, and is 5.9 km from Gregory Lake. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Hand down one of the BEST hotels ive stayed in Sri Lanka. I have stayed in many hotels across the world and this one stands out as truly amazing. A hidden gem. Firstly the property is immaculate! Clean and beautiful! The scenery is breathtaking, we couldnt stop taking videos of it from the balcony, the garden and inside. Bathroom is huge, overlooking the scenery. Fresh flowers in bathroom and dining table. It smells very nice as soon as you walk in. Location is very convenient. But what has trully blown us away is the service. The staff are on another level. Firstly they message you with information before you even reach. Once u reach you receive royalty treatment with a smile! Shameera is always available to help, assisted us in ordering food and arranged to light a bonfire for us in the garden with blankets. We enjoyed the stars and warm fire, very cosey. They even gave us a special surprise at the end of our stay. I honestly wish i could stay longer and will definitely return. It is worth every penny.
