A comfortable bed, a hot meal and a nice view at a good price, but the overall experience was brought down a lot by the half hearted maintenance of the place. The toilet was leaking (causing a constant pool of cold water covering the bathroom), floors was broken, windows didn't close, towel hooks lay rusted on the floors and we... More

Great stay, Allen helped us relocate after a booking stuff up elsewhere. His wife is also very friendly and accommodating. Assisted with arranging drivers for Horton's plain trip and our next destination. Laundry done in a hurry, which saved the day... Highly recommend it.

Chez Allen is a friendly place with a great terrace and amazing views. It's quite high up behind the St Andrew's Hotel, so better to take a three-wheeler or be ready for a short hike. Rooms are clean and spacious, bathrooms are modern and have hot water and good showers. The owners are very friendly and seem to be able... More

Had this place recommended by another guest house. Checked it out on TA and all looked good so went for it. Don't recall the price per night but I think it was 3000LKR It has three rooms and a communal area where you can sit on lounges and has tables for eating breakfast, which was included in our agreement, and...

We arrived very late after an epic journey from Galle, two of the sons came on a motorbike to collect us from the centre of town as it's a bit of a trek up a windy road. The reward was the wonderful views in the morning and the friendly service. It's a clean, oddly furnished kind of place at a... More

Chez Allen guesthouse consists of 2 rooms in Allen's family home, situated in the outskirts of nuara elia. Allen and his family are excellent hosts and his wife Malika cooks excellent local meals. This place is great for those seeking a more 'local' experience. Bathrooms are very new, hot water plentiful, beds very comfortable and the splace spotlessly clean. I... More

We stayed at Chez Allen for 2 nights. Location - on the hilltop, therefore can have a good view on Nuwara Eliya town from a distance. It takes around 15 mins on foot from centre and requires uphill walking for sure. On the way will pass thru the famous St. Andrew's Hotel. Owner - Allen's family is friendly and helpful.... More

We really enjoyed our too short stay at Chez Allen. Malika is a wonderful hostess, although her English is quite limited, and our room with views over Nuwara Eliya was spotless and simply furnished with a comfortable warm bed. The bathroom was modern with a very good shower – the water pressure was good, and the water stayed nice and... More
