We stayed at this hotel for two nights. It is Ok. Dinner buffet is very average. Suggest you go and visit town for food. Rooms are big but the bathrooms are very small and old. there are individual hot water heaters in the bathroom and good for one person shower. Next person has to wait for 30 mins. The walls... More

No major problems with this hotel but just not as good as the other accomodation we stayed in during our tour. Check in was longer than any other hotel in Sri Lanka and tea on arrival stewed to be undrinkable. Room large and a lovely view over the front of the hotel. Dinner was overpriced compared to every other hotel... More

This hotel needs a complete overhaul. Until then - don't stay here. Let me start by saying that the staff service is excellent. Can't fault it. They were cheery, helpful and made our stay bearable. If not for them, I would have marked this place as terrible. I am so sure that the little guesthouses in and around Nuwara Eliya... More

Very nice carpeted room, but bathroom could be really better. Also, the view through window was to the other part of the building, grid fence and someone's garden. As it is quite cool in the room, there is no possibility to rise the temperature, also, no complimentary coffee or tea, only bottled water. Also, the sounds from out of the... More

There is nothing to do with any forest here. Its just a name. The location is quite ordinary and the rooms are very small. At least the room we were given. There is no lift in the hotel and we had to climb up o third floor each time. Credit needs to be given for room facilities and cleanliness though.... More

This was the first day of our trip to SriLanka and we were yet to realize how difficult it is to get vegetarian food and also how expensive. After a tiring 5-6 hours journey from Colombo airport to Nuwara Eliya early in the morning, it was a shock for us to be told that they did not have much vegan... More
