We only spent one night at Cottage San Francesco, but it was enough to make it one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka. The room is spacious, clean and well kept. Water and a kettle with tea/coffee were waiting for us. The bathroom is also clean, a nice feature with stones in the shower :) We woke up to a beautiful view of the mountains. The breakfast was very tasty and varied. The staff was very nice and helpful, the gentlemens even helped a little with the tuk tuk. Highly recommended!

    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-...

    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.

    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.

    The best hosts you could wish for. Maybe you can find homes in better location, or fancy hotels but I can assure you that you miss one of the best experience in Sri Lanka if you stay elsewhere. Food is great, the home is warm (which is a good thing in Nuwara Eliya) and comfortable. The host is a former tourguide, so if you are interested in the history and the true current state of Sri Lanka, he will tell you all, show you around and makes sure you leave with a smile on your face. 10/10 , next time we will stay more days there.

    I stayed in the dorm bed. As a solo backpacker, staying here was a wonderful escape from the usual busy hostel life. We were treated just as lovely as the hotel guests, enjoyed the views and the breakfast. Everyone was really friendly and really helped us out with our activities. It’s obviously not central in the town but I didn’t mind the 30 min walk down. I would recommend highly if you want something more quiet for once, which for me Nuwara Eliya was the perfect opportunity anyway! The value for money was amazing.

    Staying at the hotel is a fantastic experience. It seems like our own house. The room was very comfortable, the washroom very spacious. The owner & staff are so kind & treated us very kindly. Breakfast is amazing! Highly recommend this hotel to the visitors. Around the scenery is beautiful. Its walking distance from the hotel to Gregory lake is another chance to walk. Furthermore, I think it's a fantastic experience We gained Nuwara Eliya from this excellent Queensland Hotel hotel. Thanks.

    I actually ended up here at the last minute due to the late arrival of my train into Nanu Oya and being unsure of how to get to Nuwara Eliya upon arrival but later realized this spot is where I should have planned to stay the whole time. Nanuoya is a much a more peaceful location to base yourself and this spot is so comfortable with conveniences like a tea kettle, coffee, and tea in the room, great views of the tea plantations, and easy access to both the train and buses into Nuwara Eliya.
