    If they could just provide a window with an insect screen since the room requires more ventilation.

    It has an exceptional style and a beautiful view, the breakfast and dinner was the best we ever had in sri lanka

    It was a bit expensive but the quality of stay did justify the cost

    Extremely exquisite property with premium and antique interior. The room was spotless clean and breakfast tasted great. The staff were very hospitable. Highly recommended

    We had the lucky experience of staying 2 nights in the W15 Lake Gregory. It is a boutique hotel and a perfect escape if you're looking for peace and tranquility. Given the smaller set up compared to most hotels, the hospitality is uncomparable. There is always someone available, very welcoming and with smiles. A standout 10/10 experience, that I would highly recommend to anyone is the cooking class! My partner and I had chef Mano teaching us how to cook local dishes. Outside of the cooking class, when we first arrived the team helped us with our laundry and shared what types of activities we could do in the vacinity. In the two days we've: - Cycled around the lake, it's a perfect 5km loop. It's a lovely jog too. - There's a swimming pool as part of the hotel to cool off. - Rented a speed boat on the lake, there's a fair amount of birds for those that like to take pictures of local wildlife. - Horse Riding, there are loads of horses in the vicinity that you can pet. - Board games, badminton raquets etc.

    Shower ran out of hot water. Arranged car pickup from the train station was expensive compared to other vehicles.

    Exceptional service. The staff are well trained and execute all elements flawlessly. Breakfast was incredible (poached crab eggs Benedict). Bed was amazing. Location was outstanding with fantastic views of wild horses grazing and people enjoying the lake.

    Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Probably one of the best places I have ever stayed. The staff were so accommodating and friendly from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, had all amenities and was beautifully designed. The front garden to which we had access from our rooms was a lovely place to relax in the evening. We had our evening meal in the hotel because we thought it would be extra special because of how luxury the place was when we arrived and we were right. The food was superb. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful as well. Due to the area having a cooler climate to other parts of the island they even provided us with a hot water bottle before bed. The room also had a superb tea selection. I will most definitely be recommending this accommodation to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

    Cannot recommend this place enough. It's the most cozy, wonderful and calm hotel experience I've had in Sri Lanka. The team is working tirelessly to help you with anything you might need. The cooking is excellent (I had the Sri Lankan curry) for dinner. Would definitely comeback here if I ever return!

    The rooms are not very soundproof.

    A luxurious little hotel, right on the shores of the lake. We had two rooms overlooking the lake and had a little shared terrace in front (rear rooms may be different). Gorgeous, comfy beds, and the best bathrooms on our trip! We had a fabulous breakfast every day. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. The location was perfect - away from the bustle of the town, but within walking distance of the sites and some relaxed restaurants. Lovely hikes in the hills, and nearby the many tea plantations, and the racecourse.

    Everything about this property is amazing. It truly is a hidden gem in Nuwara Eliya. Situated slightly outside the town, which makes it feel secluded and private while at the same time very walkable to the town. The staff are beyond attentive and accommodating. The property is really beautiful and well kept, it has a peaceful atmosphere. The food was delicious too. Highly recommend staying here!

    One of the best places in Nuwaraeliya. I suggest not to waste anytime on those big hotels. You wont get the quality service that you get in these places. Excellent view. Nice rooms. Extremely clean. If you ever go to this place, please try the break fast. Chef there is on another level. And very friendly.

    Pool closed at 6pm (would be great if it was a little later so that we could have swam after our arrival).

    Super clean, great style. Large bedroom, great bathroom. Attention to detail was fabulous. Really lovely staff , great, fresh and delicious cooking with a varied menu. They even put a hot water bottle in our beds at turn down! Had breakfast on the terrace the next morning g. Excellent breakfast too.

    We stayed for two nights! It's a small chique boutique hotel right in front Gregory Lake. They only have a few rooms which made the stay very unique. Rooms a huge and beds are spacious. They bring you a hot water bottle before nighttime which was really cozy. The staff was very lovely and forthcoming without being indiscreet or intrusive! They arranged a driver to bring us to Horton Plains at 5 am and provided us with a Picknick to go which was just perfect! They even went beyond and above and served us tea beforehand. They don't do buffets just menu a la carte en demand and they use a lot of vegetables from their own garden, which we found very environmentally friendly. Bathrooms were the best in Sri Lanka, hot water from a solar system, very clean (European standard clean). They have a selection of loose teas you can brew in your room which was very unique. Perfect pick for a stay in Nuwara Eliya!
