TravellerThe whole vibe of the place just takes you back in time.

TravellerGood hotel with amazing staff
Pretty good hotel. The breakfast was better than I expected. The staff is super friendly and super helpful. Overall I’ll stay again here.
TravellerColonial stye hotel walking distance to the town. Great good and helpful staff. Hotel condition is average.
TravellerDeteriorating hotel. Used to be a nice place
I occupied room No. 214. This is my 4th stay during the past 04 years. Beds were terrible. Bed springs were all very loose and saggy and it is more like a hammock. Once you get close to the edge you tend to topple over. Had a narrow shave twice. It leaves you with a terrible back ache in the morning. Toilet was leaking and water from the cistern wets the floor every time the toilet is flushed. They said the ice machine is broken and could not get any ice cubes delivered to the room. I just begin to wonder whether they gave me the worst possible room being a Sri Lankan leaving the better rooms for foreign guests. On previous occasions I can't remember encountering a problem of this nature. Even the quality of food has deteriorated and it is not any better than an average Rest House run by local authorities.
TravellerExcellent old colonial hotel
We loved this old colonial hotel with it's very Britishness . Over 100 years old and still keeping up the old traditions. The gardens are well maintained and beautiful. Excellent food and delightful staff.
TravellerNice and homely
Enjoyed the stay without any trouble. Can ask for more than this in Bandarawela. Conveniently located. Wish the management good luck!
TravellerQuiet and peacfull place
We enjoyed our stay very much,the weather was good and the staff was very accommodative .the food was 3 star quality .I would visit this place again.
TravellerGlimpse of the past
Great value for money. Food and service were very good. Gave us an alternative experience of Sri Lanka. You can't fault it but it is what it is and where it is - so don't expect 5 star luxury and services. Be aware that travelling takes a lot longer than you might think in this whole area.
TravellerVery old hotel with traditions
it was nice to see some old hotel staff who had been working there for a long time and they were friendly and obliging as ever and made us homely.
TravellerNostalgia above comfort
The only plus point is the heritage tag of the property. This was a good experience from that point. Hotel is well decorated with old memorabilia which gives a look into the past.
TravellerNice stop over and close to the sites in thearea
.. A very enjoyable break.Desoite being in a very busy town , the hotels situation made you feel that you were in the country.. Good food and good service
TravellerCharming Hotel
Great hotel. Looks old but the place has a lot of charm and lovely fires to sit around when it gets a little chilly. Service and food was excellent. We were made to feel so welcome and would definitely stay again.
TravellerA great place to stay in Sri Lanka
Personally, this is now one of my favorite hotels! The hotel and town are a great base for exploring the hills region
TravellerGreat old style hotel
I loved the place, from the rooms to the restaurant. My only gripe is that you could hear people talking outside your door, so avoid the room at the end of the walkway where people turn left or right. They congregate there to say what they're doing the next day. The bar/pub is so sweet, and the restaurant does great set meals
Crypto-friendly Bookings
Your money’s good here.
Old world charm! Though some modernization needed I hope new owners will do it thoughtfully so that it will not take away thr historical value of the hotel.
