The hotel was a bit pricey for a night's stay, but if it included an evening meal, it would have been just right. The room with a balcony was fantastic and spacious, with 2 superb bathrooms. It was clean, had A/C, and even a heater although we joked about not needing it.

The hotel offers a lovely view of the valley with lush green tea bushes, and the rooms were at the front overlooking the plantation with plenty of hot water in the bathrooms. The soundproofing could be better, but the service area and car park view was compensated by the hills of Nuwara Eliya in the background.
