    The rooms were clean, the location is nice (it has a view on the lake) and I enjoyed getting the free coffee/tee :) And I could leave my bags at the hostel after check-out to go explore Nuwara Eliya a bit more.

    This is a cool little clean guest house, it run by a serene host and her mother. The room was clean and stylish with a balcony over looking a quiet part of town. Friendly place but not intrusive. Breakfast was great along with conversation about world politics with the host who spoke good English There was a little kiosk nearby that sold essentials at good price.

    A nice hostel to meet people. The private room was comfortable. The bed is a bit worn, but actually still quite comfortable. Breakfast is delicious and the hostel dinners are great to meet other travelers.

    The room was a bit humid and moldy.

    The location above the lake is nice and the common areas are very cozy with many chairs and plant :) one big breakfast table, where you meet other nice people from the hostel! The rooms are very big as well.

    There's not too many resteraunts around, especially for dinner in the night. There is dinner at the hostel but keep in mind to order it before 4

    The room was clean with a lovely view. And a bonus was the thick duvet that really helped us with the colder night weather.

    Apparently the dorm has two old mattresses and I had one of them, the others were fine.

    Very nice furnished common area where travellers can meet and have dinner together, which was very tasty.

    Nice location, near the lake and very nice staff. He gave me a free ride to the city and helped me a lot. The breakfast was so nice too, he prepared for me even early in the morning. Also they have a very comfortable bed, my most comfy bed in Sri Lanka.

    Very nice experience! It is a house which is converted into a hostel, with very nice common areas. I really enjoyed the vibe with the rest of the people. The staff was fully available at all times and communication with them was perfect. Very nice location in front of the lake, although a bit further from the town center. Overall a very good experience for the price.

    Could have done with a kettle in the room.

    It was very relaxed and in a good location. The chap there went out of his way to help. He made us a breakfast to take away when we left at 6am and was happy to make us tea whenever asked. Very kind!

    No fans in the room. Minor flooding in the shower.

    Very nice common area with sofas, chairs, and tables. Beds more comfortable, they provide towels, and there is hot shower. Location is not in city center but still accessible. Hosts were nice and gives good recommendations.
