Pro Big beds. Fluffy blankets. Skylight that is translucent. Restaurant on site that made me a small pot of tea each morning for a reasonable price. They arranged our tuktuk to the train. Kind and knowledgeable staff. Hot fancy showers. Cons -They did not clean the bathrooms everyday. They do not change the fitted sheet or blankets between guests -Loud music at nights. 1 of 3 nights the volume was too high even with ear plugs -wifi does not reach the room. I went through a lot of data

Would really recommend staying here! The dorm room is newish hence not loads of reviews but the restaurant/bar and hotel has been open for years. It’s literally in lonely planet guide of where to stay in Nuwara Eliya - and for good reason. Nisha the owner is so lovely, he always checked in with us to make sure we were having a good stay. There was live reggae music most nights, we actually ended up singing with them. Such good value for money, the restaurant food is delish + gorgeous views!

The beds were very comfy and quite big. It was convenient to have the restaurant with the hostel also and was nice to have the seating area to sit outside the rooms. The bathrooms were very clean and felt very new.
