Stayed at the hotel last december 2012. Upon entering the hotel drive way it just like youve been transported back in time.Manicured garden and nice hotel facade. The hotel retains its colonial charm. Hot towel offered upon arrival, front desk is very nice. The room though it retains that "old charm feeling" is equipped with kinda luxurious amenities.

This hotel takes me back to the Old Cataract in Aswan, Egypt. It is very Olde Worldly Agatha Christie/Poirot style of hotel. The lounge and bar areas were very 'stuffy' with a pianist and old style furniture. The rooms were not much better and some of the fittings had seen better days. Although it may sound as if I didn't... More

This hotel is a great one to look at and walk around on the grounds. I definitely recommend stopping by here and taking a peek when you are in Nuwara Eliya. If you're looking for a place to stay, go for the tea factory. We had issues getting the right room when we checked in a bit late, but that... More

2 nights at The Grand was truly amazing! The buffet, the room and the staff were awesome. Nuwara Eliya was a favourite holiday spot for us when we lived in Sri Lanka back in the '70's. This time I visited Lanka with my family after 29 years and just had to stay at the Grand and I was not disappointed.... More

On a good note, the breakfast was delicious, the gardens were beautiful and the Grand Indian Restaurant across the drive proved a lovely place for dinner. The room however was rather rickety with loose wooden floor boards and uncomfy beds. Enjoyed the cooler weather, exploring the gardens followed by relaxing with a good cup of tea. The novelty of the... More

When we first arrived in Nuwara Eliya we were originally meant to stay in a hotel called Oakray Summerhill Breeze which at first was promising but didn't live up to the standards it was promising on its website, we went around the town and saw the Grand Hotel and we went to have a look. It was amazing, we left... More
