Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms are basic but well-maintained, especially those with stunning views of the valley. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but I felt like the service could be more organized. The location is pretty nice, just a short walk from town, although there’s a new hotel construction that might spoil some of the views. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but the lack of artificial flavors was a big plus for me.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which offered clean and comfortable family rooms equipped with great amenities. The location was beautiful, nestled in nature but required a bit of uphill walking to return to the town. While the dining options were excellent and showcased stunning views, the service lacked a bit of motivation. Overall, it's a good value for money, but there's room for improvement.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it offers a serene view of nature, the overall experience fell short. The rooms were smaller than expected and not as clean as I hoped, with some amenities missing. However, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made up for some of the shortcomings. The location had its charms, but with construction nearby, it did spoil the views a bit.

The location was great for a nice walk to town, offering beautiful views of nature, but be aware of the slight hill on the way back. The service, while polite, could use some improvement, especially in providing local information.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, as the location is absolutely the best in Nuwera Eliya, providing a nice walking distance to town. The rooms are quite comfortable and well-laid-out, although mine could have used a little more cleaning. The staff really went above and beyond, offering us delicious meals and great service. However, be prepared for some noise from the construction next door and limited dining options.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, but it had its ups and downs. The location is great, just a pleasant 10-15 minute walk from town, although the surroundings weren't exactly picturesque. The rooms could have been cleaner, especially considering the luxurious price tag. The staff members were mostly kind and helpful, though there were some moments that felt unprofessional. Dining in the restaurant was quite lackluster, primarily due to the poor breakfast. Overall, it was decent but not without its flaws.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, but it did have its ups and downs. The rooms were comfortable, although they could use a bit more attention for cleanliness. The service was generally kind, but I did face some issues with rudeness. The location is a bit far from the market, which can be a hassle, but the area has a nice hill that offers a pleasant walk. Dining options could definitely improve as well, especially for breakfast. Overall, it was decent value for money, but with some room for improvement.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, enjoying the friendly staff and the beautiful views from the dining area. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired, with uncomfortable beds and a need for maintenance. The location is great for nature lovers, but the construction across the street does spoil the view a bit. Overall, it's a nice place with some trade-offs, especially when it comes to value for money.
