    This place is not luxurious but sufficient for overnight stays.

    After a long day from Colombo and arriving at Unique Cottages, after realising we booked the wrong night thankfully the manager came to our assistance and honoured our booking. For this we were very grateful. Breakfast in the morning was to our liking and all staff were very accommodating to our needs.

    Rooms are a little outdated.

    Excellent location: in a quiet street, walking distance from the city centre, near shops and restaurants. Good beds. Good shower.

    The rooms are quite old, in a high need of reconstruction, very noisy - you even hear all the normal conversations of the neighbors, the sink was leaking very bad which was fortunately fixed during our stay

    The hotel is in a good location to reach more or less everything, it has a nice old style

    The doors to balcony wouldnt lock and you could easily oush them open. Place is in need of a bit of refurbishment. We were served a very cold dinner and upon asking for it to be warmed up it returned the same. Was really indeble. The staff need a bit more training. There was a dangerous hairdrier in the bathroom.

    Old british colonial style. The srilankan lunch we had was good on arrival. Location close to the town. The staff were very helpful esp the manager.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were so attentive and helpful. We were arriving in later than expected and they had food prepared for us. The breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect as well very close to everything. Couldn’t recommend the accommodation enough - really happy with the accommodation and again the staff were just so great.

    The whole place seems to have a serious mold issue. It looked like they even tried painting over the mold in some places, but that’s not how you get rid of it... I noticed it on the ceilings in the room I originally booked. When I asked for a different room, I was told that all rooms are occupied or booked, but after bringing up canceling my reservation I was shown 4 unoccupied rooms and they all had the same mold issue on ceilings. Before I received the key to my room, it was sprayed with an air freshener, likely to hide the smell of mold. Since I only booked 1 night there, and canceling was not possible, I stayed and saw the water leaking down the walls when it was raining.

    Absolute waste of money

    The manager was unfriendly and cold until he realized my wife's family knew the property owner. The room was shockingly bad. This was the worst room I have honestly ever stayed in. I understand that it was essentially an attic, and I have actually lived in an attic room as a student myself but this room does not qualify to be a Hotel room, the property has also conveniently left out images of the attic it seems. The entrance step to the room is broken and not safe. There was lighting kept in place by tape! The bathroom had no ventilation and smelled terrible, the fittings were not up to a standard a Hotel should keep to, the tap waste water line was not concealed and you could see the water just come out and into the drain, the shampoo and shower gel dispenser were just keep on a very narrow ledge just above floor level with zero protection from falling and I was charged because it broke. Under facilities offered it also mentions that the room is soundproof which is a blatant lie, there is absolutely no soundproofing and everything and anything is heard from outside and I'm guessing people out can hear us as well. Truly shocking that this room is being sold as a Hotel room, their management needs to re-look at this and remove it from the room inventory. The service was also extremely unprofessional, one night when we wanted a bottle of water we tried calling the reception but there was no answer so we went down to the front desk and there was no one there despite us waiting there for a while, we then tried calling again while standing right next to their phone, and still no one bothered to come answer it.

    The location of the Hotel was ideal as it is quite close to the city and had a decent enough view. The public areas were nice and it had a nice little well kept garden.

    Great location in the heart of the city with close proximity to all key destinations and attractions in Nuwara Eliya. The property was kept very clean and the interior was well arranged. The food was good although limited in variety. The manager and the staff were very professional, cordial, and very accommodating. This will be the only place that we will look for our next visit to Nuwara Eliya.
