    it's great place but for foreigner they charge fees for everything such as entry fee to enter the place to visit and there is no any free facility which is not good. as a traveler we are going to visit city and promote the city on our social networks therefore we should have some facility to get some exempt the charges to view more about city. every attraction they have entry fee.

    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.

    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.

    I stayed in the dorm bed. As a solo backpacker, staying here was a wonderful escape from the usual busy hostel life. We were treated just as lovely as the hotel guests, enjoyed the views and the breakfast. Everyone was really friendly and really helped us out with our activities. It’s obviously not central in the town but I didn’t mind the 30 min walk down. I would recommend highly if you want something more quiet for once, which for me Nuwara Eliya was the perfect opportunity anyway! The value for money was amazing.

    We couldn’t stay at the Clovelly Bungalow because of emergency repairs to our room so we were accommodated in the Victoria Bungalow for one night and then the Golden Ridge Hotel. Staff did try their best, but it all felt a little impersonal and we were disappointed. We had specifically chosen the Clovelly because of its small size and heritage atmosphere and while the facilities at the Golden Ridge are nice, we hadn’t expected to spend our holiday in a modern hotel with massive crowds.

The food is excellent, both sri lankan menu and English menu are very fresh & delicious. The room is in very good condition almost with the facilities of 5 star hotel. Hotel rooms and everything is as same as in the photos published and really worth for the price.

    1st thing to mention is the style of the house. It was a very nice experience to stay in such an authentic and old styled house. All details including old furniture (in really good condition) allow you to dive into the old times. Host is very nice and friendly. Really good suggestions of where to go and where not to waste time helped us to organize out visit to nuwara Eliya. Breakfast is delicious. Especially local tasty tea and fruits fresh.

    1) One of the best places to stay in Nuwara Eliya (Also known as Little England). 2) Walking distance from the Gregory Lake. 3) The hosts were very accommodating, and it felt like home. 4) Breakfast spread was good. 5) Shan (Host) also has a list of must visit places which are nearby the property. Incase, you are not sure what to explore when in Nuwara Eliya, do ask him to share the link.

    Lovely family and family home. Was made to feel comfortable and the family was very helpful with organizing travel plans while in nuwara eliya. The host’s son offered transport, for a fee, on his motorcycle to various destinations such as Horton’ s plain and to the railway station. It was a great way for a solo traveller to get about. They also had a great recommendation for where to eat.
