Araliya Green Hills Hotel, hotel in Nuwara Eliya

Araliya Green Hills Hotel is a beautiful property surrounded by lush greenery. The accommodation welcomes guests with a spa. Free internet access is available throughout the hotel.

Not value for money. Zombie hotel. Just like a apartment in Colombo. Not a holiday hotel. Not family/ kids friendly . Unhelpful staff.

Heritance Tea Factory, hotel in Nuwara Eliya

Heritance Tea Factory Offers you the ultimate colonial- style stay experience enhanced by the tea plantation and the misty mountains.

We had very high expectations of this hotel- the most expensive of our trip by far and was booked one night as a treat. The location was stunning and the hotel itself a design triumph - it truely was unique. But this did not justify the price. The service and hotel staff were great but the rooms were old and tired and needed updating maybe ten years ago. There were none of the nice extras you would get at a top hotel- they even charge extra for using the pool table which is frankly outrageous. The dress code is not enforced at dinner so not sure why that's a thing. The food was very good but the bar and library again old and not comfy so nowhere really to relax after dinner. Highlight was the nature walk with Mohan who lives in the village and taught us so much about the area and the surrounding plants and animals - this was a real highlight. I rated this hotel disappointing as the quality and comfort of the stay does not justify £200 plus a night.

We liked that it was generally better kept than other hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. As with all hotels during our trip, the photos are always very well taken and not 100% real, but in this hotel the discrepancy between photo and reality was objectively less than usual. The food was great! A quite big and clean buffet in a lovely room.

    it's great place but for foreigner they charge fees for everything such as entry fee to enter the place to visit and there is no any free facility which is not good. as a traveler we are going to visit city and promote the city on our social networks therefore we should have some facility to get some exempt the charges to view more about city. every attraction they have entry fee.

    A good place for visiting the Horton Plains National Park- negociate locally for the 40 min drive in a Tuk Tuk ( 9000 lks is about right). It has a nice lake to walk around. The Rough Guide though old is still very useful. The centre is small and compact with good facilities .. The exception is the 'Tourist Office' close to the bus station.. It is close to useless - dont look for impartial advice as the owner has his own Tuk Tuk!. Victora Park is worth a stroll.

    Quaint little town in the hills. So, cooler climate and perfect spot to take a break from the sweltering heat in Colombo. La Grande Villa is just a 10 minute walk from town and a 5 bedroom boutique hotel, which makes it the ideal place for a quiet, restful stop before Ella.

    Nuwara Eliya is a sleepy town nestled within acres of tea estates , which has maintained a lot of its colonial buildings that it almost looks like a different country altogether. Hence the name Little England. It is best suited for an Individual or family that is looking to just relax at one property with great views , dabble in luxury (there are a few options) , do a little bit of sightseeing (all nature related) and experience the architecture of the town itself. It’s non-touristy.. None of the places we visited were crowded or dirty. The town sleeps by 10pm.

    we spent 2 days in the off season (mid feb 2024) which was perfect, no overcrowding, mad traffic and great weather. We stayed 1 night in a studio apartment and 1 night at a small guest house both were perfectly maintained and very nice accommodations well worth the price. check the weather and go in the off season to enjoy and relax in NE as it should be done!

    Nuwara Eliya is gorgeous.

    Nuwara Eliya is gorgeous. But the hotel we booked, we stayed with difficulty for one night, then left at dawn. We then stayed at for a week at another place, which was lovely. Nuwara Eliya is a very beautiful hill station. Nature has been preserved well. Old style buildings add to the beauty of nature. Especially noteworthy are: Post Office Building, old heritage buildings, Victoria Park. Amazing waterfall near railway station. Station is quite far from town. Nuwara Elia is well served by buses from almost all parts of Sri Lanka. Travel by rail is very pretty, but returning by night train is not advisable: the train is always late, and what they call "sleeper" is actually a reclining seat.

    Very cute small designed hotel! Great location right on the tea plantation with fantastic view from the panoramic windows of the restaurant. Fantastic British design of the hotel - all hotel looks very modern and new. Fireplace in the room. Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly and welcomed stuff. Good and tasty restaurant. Amazing breakfast. We highly recommend it to all people visiting tea plantations near Nuwara Eliya and who is going to experience the train to Ella (railway station Nanuoya is located 10 min by car from the hotel).

    If you want to have a great stay in Nuwara Eliya with the old colonial flair, the Hill Club is the place to be. The service was excellent (we especially enjoyed the service of Ravi) and you feel taken back in time. Its easy to walk into town and to the adjacent Grand Hotel. We stayed the first night into a modern room (which was the best we had in 4 weeks Sri Lanka so far) and the other two in the old wing (as we wanted to check it out and we also enjoyed it there) - changing rooms was arranged without problems.

    We booked 2 rooms for 3 people. 5 nights. King's lodge is the perfect place to enjoy nuwara eliya. Lovely hosts, wonderful breakfast, great view and clean and nice rooms! Breakfast was every day different. English with toast and jam. Sri lankan with string hoppers, curry and cocos sambal. We catched some rainy days so we spent more time in the hotel as we usually would. Every evening the owners brought some tee for free. They also organized taxi and tuk tuk for us. Thx for the service. Would book again!

The entire place was spotless and the room had everything we needed for our stay including a heater for chilly Nuwara Eliya evenings. The breakfast was delicious and we had many options to choose from! We especially enjoyed the gorgeous yoga studio space on the upstairs level that provided 360 degree views of the surrounding area.

    Cozy cottage nestled away in the mountains of Nuwara Eliya. It was a very scenic and picturesque location from any window you looked out of. Couldn’t find a single insect in the room or the property, which is difficult to achieve based on our other stays around Sri Lanka. The materials and design used around the property add to the ambience with, wooden flooring and walls, stone wallpaper in the bathroom, sloped ceiling. Breakfast was very tasty and filling.

Such a beautiful cottage with all the necessities for a lovely getaway. Kitchenette with everything you need to cook at home. Outdoor sitting area to relax.

I stayed in 4 properties around Nuwara Eliya and Haputale and this was the only property that provided us with a mini heater, which is commendable. Worth the price. Its a 20mins drive from Nuwara Eliya town.
