Staff very friendly, from arrival to leaving the next day (we were only there for a 1 night stay). Had dinner there, which was lovely and around £10 each. Drinks were a bit pricey. Room with carpet was nice, cosy but large size. Bathroom could have been a bit better, had to get maintenance in as the hot water tap... more

indians BEWARE of visiting this place, as you can expect a second class treatment from the hotel. For everything you have to wait for ages as the foreigners are given utmost importance. The restuarant is worse. You wait for your tea and keep waiting till your breakfast is over. you ask for an empty plate and wait for another half... more

I stayed at this hotel as part of a tour. Unfortunatly it was only for one night but this hotel hotel definatley stood out as the favourite of the tour. The rooms are enormous, with upper levels containing another bed, and a roomy lower level with everything you could possibly need. Coming back at evening to a hot water bottle... more

We stayed here for one night as part of an organized tour of Sri Lanka. I have to admit that I did have high expectations from reading guide books etc. but I was slightly disappointed in some aspects of our stay. The location and setting of the hotel are stunning. Our room was OK but nothing memorable. The food in... more

Being a tour leader I've had to pleasure to stay at St. Andrews Hotel in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka several times. I don't think there has been one single pax that has ever made a complaint to me about this beautiful hotel that in its colonial years used to be a Scottish Club. The hotel is situated near the center... more

Looked impressive as we approached but we were quite disappointed. The welcome drink of a cup of soup was a surprise and tasty. As we were part of a tour I have no comment about reception but it did not seem too organised as our keys took some time to be given to us. The room was a great disappointment.... more

On the approach to the hotel it appears to be a cute Colonial hotel which stands out from the shabby town of Nuwara Eliya. The lounge area is pleasant, but the bar has the feel of a hostel. The bedrooms are in desperate need of renovation with the bathroom being particually shabby and in need of a good clean. We... more

We spent 9 days touring round Sri Lanka on the Virgin Holidays "Images of Sri Lanka" tour. St Andrews was the last hotel and we stayed for two nights. The building itself is an interesting old colonial house and the rooms are very nice (apart from the bathroom, which was a little tatty and the bath water was brown.) The... more

My girlfriend and I spent one night at St Andrews during a tour of Sri Lanka. We had originally booked in to the Tea Factory hotel but our reservation was cancelled as the hotel was being refurbished. St Andrews is a grand old colonial style hotel full of old British charm. We stayed B&B in a suite room and found... more
