We couldn't eat in the restaurant because we didn't have long pants. (men) But then again, that is part of the old world charm that they keep certain standards. We found plenty of places to eat in town so it wasn't really a problem.

We chose to stay here for the historic feeling and because they had twin rooms. It's a lovely place. Wonderful breakfast. The beds were comfortable and the hot water bottle was cozy. Very good service and a special care from our room boy. Garden was beautiful!

Lovely colonial hotel. Warm comfortable rooms and walking distance to town. This hotel is full of character. Pack your Sunday best for after 7pm as you’re required to dress up for dinner and the bar (men can borrow a jacket and tie). It’s all part of the charm of the hotel. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Would definitely recommend for your stay in Nuwara Eliya.

None.

Incredible experience in Nuwara Eliya! Good location and just nearby the famous Grand Hotel and Victoria Park and has a path to visit. Hill Club is a historical building and worth you spend one-hour to walk around and insight. Room is comfortable, breakfast is good, price-performance ratio is better than Grand Hotel as you can spend high tea and visit the garden there from Hill Club. Staff is kind and helpful. Highly Recommended!

It’s a little old and outdated but heck, it’s an old English club and that’s what makes it so fun and charming.

The grounds are spectacular. The staff is excellent. The location is fabulous.

Quintessentially English gentleman’s club converted to a hotel but has maintained the old values. Well done.

It’s a little jaded if you’re expectation is 5* but maybe that’s because it’s supposed to be. WiFi keeps tripping out required login each time. Cream tea not great but worth doing. Reading room needs the fire to be lit and dress code relaxed to enable it to be used by more residents.

Wonderful old colonial hotel, staff are super friendly and attentive. Fire in the dining room and hot water bottles in your bed. Lovely historic artifacts around every corner and some amazing books in the reading room.

No swimming pool and chairs on lawn could be more comfortable to relax. Tennis courts were in maintenance

Amazing colonial hunting club experience.

All good !!!

Excellent breakfast all meals very good wonderful service. STAFF could. Not ask for better ! Love the Hill club

Service and taxes are added to all costs, including drinks at the bar, which could have been made clearer on the menu.

Visiting the Hill Club is like stepping back in time. It’s part hotel, part museum, and gives a real flavour of what Nuwara Eliya was like in colonial times. The stay were very professional and service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We’d recommend the formal dinner, it’s a real one off experience!

Dinner options very limited,the hotel has very few guests

Everything was perfect! We enjoyed very much our stay

The so called " fine dining" is not as we expected

The hotel is in the city centre and even rather dated it is full of charm. The gardens are marvelous,all the staff is very well trained and helpfull and every guest is treated like a star

Of course this is an old hotel therefore the amenities aren’t the newest - however therefore you will have a truly authentic experience

If you are looking for an unique and authentic experience, this is the place! Hotel from another time, with a museum feel and in a magically beautiful setting. At night they put hot waterbottles into our beds - this was so amazing! We received a beautiful cake for our honeymoon.

The beautiful property, surrounded by a charming garden, is an enchanting time capsule! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made our stay unforgettable!

It’s the perfect place, very authentic, feels like living in the past! Unique experience, if I ever go to srilanka again, it’s where am staying!

Very squeaky beds and loud neighbours.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff and exceptional service. We especially loved that we could borrow clothes for the evening meal to ensure we were appropriately dressed for the dress code. I loved the little touches of turning down the beds - hot water bottles and also the Jammie dodgers.

Breakfast buffet with not much variety. Personnel did not provide much information about the structure facilities.

The historic structure is a really special experience. Beautiful gardens.

The High Tea was rather underwhelming for the price compared to other teas we have experienced. Our pot of tea arrived 30 minutes after our food - not a disaster but would have been nice to accompany the food :)

Well maintained heritage property with incredibly friendly staff!

Nothing!

A genuinely unique experience, as there are now very few of similar ex-colonial clubs like this - and even fewer where temporary membership is offered to enable non members to stay. We arrived here unexpectedly on Christmas Eve but were received as welcome guests. Without formal wear for dinner, I was loaned a jacket, tie and shoes with which to enjoy dinner. Nuwala Eliya is really no longer ‘Little England’ so The Hill Club is an unmissable experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food & drinks were lovely - and surprisingly reasonably priced!
