The room was also good value for money and the views were so beautiful. We were provided a lot of blankets to survive the cold and the bathroom was well equipped. 100% recommend staying Seeming Lodge!

This stay is hands down one of the best ones we had in our holiday. Located amidst the tea plantation, offered a very cozy stay. Thushar, the host was very warm and welcoming. We checked in quite late almost midnight and yet stayed until we arrived and made sure everything went well. Breakfast at this property is on the list of top favourite foods I ate in this holiday. Overall, had a great time and felt home.

Set in Nuwara Eliya, 3 km from Gregory Lake, Hikers Inn offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

Easy to reach from the city, nice knowledgable host, comfortable room, nice warm tea, nice company with other hikers. Notify the host if you plan on arriving early as he's also a guide and might be busy in the mornings. He made sure we could keep our backpacks at the property by calling his friend to unlock the house gate so we can explore the city, but it would have been nice on our part to inform him beforehand. The indian restaurants in this city is exceptional, so don't miss out!

    Friendly staff. Location closer to the town, could walk to the Grand Hotel for dinner. We had Sri Lankan breakfast which was tasty. There was an issue with water supply in the town when we were there and the Manager worked very hard to get water to fill their tanks. Small friendly hotel.

    What a great place in Nuwara Eliya away from the crowds. The real highlight was Claude who went above and beyond to have our first night in Sri Lanka a memorable one. He prepared a wonderful dinner that was fine dining style and we ate twice in a row. We loved the rooms and high ceilings, had a very rustic feel and it was comfortable. Good hot showers as well and cosy place.

    Simple rooms with huge windows, a balcony, and wonderful views. This is our favourite guest house in Sri Lanka out of six we have stayed in so far. Also, great views from the room where you have breakfast and dinner. The guest house is run by lovely cheerful people. We wished that we had had an extra day just to chill on the balcony.

    once you arrived at the guest house you feel like a family member. the whole family welcomed us so nice and were very lovely. We enjoyed staying there because you feel like home. Breakfast and Dinner are amazing. The fire place inside the house makes your stay even better. Prepare yourself for the coolest weather in Sri Lanka. We were unprepared for the cold nights, but thats how it is in Nuwara Eliya. The view from the balcony is so beautiful.

    Spotlessly clean guest house run by a delightful family who made us very comfortable . Nothing was too much trouble and they can even cook dinner if you ask. Excellent value - rooms were spacious with a clean private bathroom. This is not luxury but it is great value and we enjoyed our stay . Strong wifi too

    A very nice small guest house, seemed 7 rooms in total. We had a mountain view room, good size, tv we didn't try, spotlessly clean with a nice sitting area on the landing shared between a few rooms. Breakfast was Sri Lankan, egg choice, lots of roti bread to taste using dhal or savoury fillings. tea, coffee. Very evident Covid compliance with washing hands to enter the house and sanitiser spray on entry. Just a ten minute walk into the town for Victoria Park or dinner etc.
