    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.

    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.

    The owner and his wife are lovely. They really worked hard to make my stay the best. They prepared delicious meals, the included Sri Lankan breakfast and a very reasonably priced and delicious dinner. I liked the reasonably-priced, 5-hour tuk tuk tour of the area, including Nuwara Eliya that was arranged for me. This is a good place for a short stay on the train route between Ella & Kandy. Any issues with this location are not the fault of the owners. They are very kind and take good care of their guests.

    Amazing place in a quiet area, yet very close to the city centre. Nice room with everything you need, tasty breakfast and most importantly, an awesome host. I felt like I made a friend in Nuwara Eliya. I will definitely book again here when I come back! Also, if you want information about the area or to make a tour, the owner knows everything: places, people, and could arrange something for you, depending on what you want to see and how much time you have. Could only recommend!

    1st thing to mention is the style of the house. It was a very nice experience to stay in such an authentic and old styled house. All details including old furniture (in really good condition) allow you to dive into the old times. Host is very nice and friendly. Really good suggestions of where to go and where not to waste time helped us to organize out visit to nuwara Eliya. Breakfast is delicious. Especially local tasty tea and fruits fresh.

    Found this place when in Nuwara Eliya during a recent curfew / lockdown. This place was great because it offered a kitchen and more space than a hotel room after feelings stranded for a few days. Host was super responsive and was flexible with booking another night just the day before. Comfy place to stay for a few days if you are tired of hotels! Bonus - it has an elevator and also not up a very steep hill if you have difficulty walking.

    Location-wise, the hotel was ideally situated in Nuwara Eliya. It was convenient to explore nearby attractions while also providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The staff at New Royal Mount, deserve a special mention. Their warmth and genuine hospitality made us feel like VIPs throughout our stay. From the front desk to the restaurant staff, everyone went out of their way to ensure our comfort and satisfaction.

    1) One of the best places to stay in Nuwara Eliya (Also known as Little England). 2) Walking distance from the Gregory Lake. 3) The hosts were very accommodating, and it felt like home. 4) Breakfast spread was good. 5) Shan (Host) also has a list of must visit places which are nearby the property. Incase, you are not sure what to explore when in Nuwara Eliya, do ask him to share the link.

Nuwara Eliya is cold at night in general but we found the duvets to be nice and warm so it was fine. 10 minute walk to shops and restaurants. 2 minute walk to the grand hotel where there is a nice cafe for coffee. Hosts were very helpful with advice, also very laid back, felt very comfortable there.
