    A small castle with spacious, clean rooms and beautiful views of the valley below, just over a five-minute tuk-tuk ride from the city center. It also offers breakfast, which you can order directly there. The staff are very welcoming and helpful.

    Quite the distance to any of the things we wanted to see in the area and we were the only guests in the hotel, which felt kind of lonely. Several dishes from the were unavailable because of this.

    Huge room in a castle on top of a mountain overlooking the Nuwara Eliya valley. Friendly staff, tasty food, great views.

    The room was quite cold and there was no heating, we asked for a heater but they didn’t have any available. The shower alternated water temperature, so at some point it might be too hot, then regular or regular, then too cold. Also, the towels were stained.

    The view is simply breathtaking, it’s an amazing experience having breakfast/ coffee outside in the morning!

    The rest of the carpeted victorian vibe is nice-ish but would suggest the management to change the upholstered bed headboards in the room. Because no matter how hard your staff tries, it is always going to be dusty and might dampen experience of your guests.

    Literally the most magical view of Nuwara Eliya from their lawn! Beautifully maintained lawn. The bathroom was spotlessly clean, though room could be better. Great warm water pressure in the morning. 15 minute Tuk tuk ride to city center. Helpful staff.

    On reaching the property, we were informed that there will be no dinner from due to non-availability of chef. Given the location is hill top so during evening you need a vehicle to come down at the marketplace for food. Luckily we had a car, so even though it got dark we managed. It would have been good, if they informed before as the location is away from the market. Having said that, it could be a one off day but would recommend to do timely communication in future.

    It is a beautiful property and very well maintained. As the name suggests, the inside decor very well resembles to a castle. The staff were also great. Will definitely recommend.

    Very average wifi in the rooms. No bar, or selling of beer. Seems like the only hotel in the area who doesn't We paid extra for breakfast, but there was no table set for us, so had to wait. We arrived well after checkin but had to wait nearly an hour for our room to be finished! The staff were not friendly. Didn't see a smile the whole time! We were on the top floor for customers and it was very noisy. The staff were living above us and started talking and walking around at about 05:30. we could hear everything and really disrupted our stay

    Superb location up on the hill above the town with amazing views. The rooms are ridiculously big, again with a brilliant view. Beds were comfy and nice tea/coffee making. Very clean! Breakfast was great (paid extra for it)! Nice selection and some lovely Dahl! Filtered water available so we didn't have to use plastic water bottle.
