    The view from our room overlooking the montain was beautiful. The staff was super friendly and everything was very clean. Before leaving, the owner also made sure our driver had his breakfast as well.

    The rooms were excellent, the views from the rooms were amazing.The food was freshly prepared and the cook was very good. The hotel is a little far away from the main city and a little difficult to reach.Plan your meals beforehand as there is no restaurant around and the hotel kitchen has limited options. Overall an amazing experience and value for money,highly recommended for your visit to Nuwara Eliya.

    Steep rocky road up to the hotel. Quite far from the town (10 mins by tuk tuk) but I knew this when I booked it. We took tuk tuks which the hotel can arrange for you.

    The room was amazing, very big with a sofa and large bed and balcony. Nice bathroom with hot water. The view from the large windows was amazing, overlooking the mountains and tea plantations. The sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. Breakfast was very nice.

    The rooms are quite hot in the morning and there is no way to open a window or fan for circulation.

    The rooms are huge with amazing views. We had the suite with a jacuzzi, which was a lovely extra. The location is a way out of town, but we enjoyed the tranquility. The Sri Lankan breakfast was a highlight.

    We did get a little hot in the room during the daytime. Maybe a small fan would help?

    The breakfast is delicious-really all of the food here is wonderful! We enjoyed every meal at Fort Windshire, and the staff in general is so kind and supportive. They assisted in all kinds of matters. We really liked our stay and would stay again! Plus the view is phenomenal!

    The hotel features spacious rooms and bathrooms, and the breakfast is enjoyable. Although it is located a bit far from the city centre, it is worth the distance due to the quality of the rooms. I am looking forward to returning.

    Location slightly far from town- thus need to have a plan for transport if needing to go to town/elsewhere during the day (which the hotel helped us with). Good vegetarian breakfast, but minimal vegetarian options for lunch or dinner.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean room and bathroom. Good breakfast. Hotel staff organised transport for us at reasonable prices.

    The only thing we didn't like was the steep and rugged pathway to the hotel. It is fine if you can arrange a vehicle to go up the steep road. We had a driver help us to get to and from the hotel, so we didn't face any difficulties throughout our stay. It is sometimes difficult to find vehicles to head into town. However, the hotel staff helped arrange vehicles. The location of the hotel is outside of the main town, so it was far from a lot of the attractions.

    The view was a complete winner. We stayed an extra 2 days to just enjoy the views. It was totally worth the price for us. The room came with comfortable beds and amenities needed. Rooms were huge. There are heaters in all rooms, which keeps the rooms warm regardless of the weather outside. The bathroom was clean. The chefs were wonderful, the food was really very good. Breakfast was tasty. Staff were helpful.

    Everything was just amazing

    Absolutely everything. The hotel was stunning and very clean, the room was amazing, huge and clean. The view was breathtaking and the jacuzzi was just WOW. The staffs were really helpful and always happy to assist at anytime. The food was the best we ever had, the quality, the taste and the presentation of the items were perfect. The little attention to details the staff give was so sweet even gave us a small flower bouquet on the Valentine’s Day. If I ever go back this will be the hotel I would choose over and over again.

For Sri Lanka is more than a 4*. It's a 5* for sure. Staff is incredible nice and helpful. Food was insanely tasty. We had dinner and breakfast and was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka.
