Good Value for the Money”

Friendly Staff, Good Location

we were welcomed by the owner and immediately shown to our room (despite having shown up 3 hours before check-in) rooms are old fashioned, but clean and cozy. nuwara eliya gets really cold at night and we had plenty of blankets and a heater to keep us warm. also, the shower pressure as good and the water was hot, a perfect way to end the day after being cold all day. the owner arranged for our driver to go hiking in the horton plains and to go visit the tea plantations, for a reasonable price. while not located in the centre of the restaurants/bars, etc, the hotel is a located near the lake (although does not offer lake views) and is only a 10 minute walk to many restaurants offering delicious sri lankan food. also, the breakfast at the hotel is well worth it and on the days we went hiking early, the owner had his staff prepare a breakfast to go for us. overall, a great experience.

Quite and comfortable ”

We were planed to stay just one night at Glen Fall Resort at Nuwara Eliya, but when we arrived, we decided to stay one more night. The hotel has a quite and beautiful garden, we spent time in the garden reading, and having beers. Very nice place and friendly staff. The hotel facility is a bit old though. It locates by a park and walkable to the main streets. Several decent dinning places close by.

Glenfall Resort is the place to be when you visit Nuwara Eliya. Everything there is magnificent. We had a great time there. There's a sweet little yard in front of the house. And you can see that everything there has been wonderfully decorated by the boss and staff. They are so nice! You cannot miss Glenfall Resort!

Really quaint place with great staff”

Cool house, great food, wifi in room, piping hot shower

By far my favorite hotel on my Sri Lanka trip. The house is filled with memorabilia and is run only by 3-4 people. Some rickshaws dont know where it is but in Nuwara there is no reason to take a rickshaw. The rooms are big with independent bathrooms. The showers have 2 settings: freezing and scolding. But if you try long enough you can get it to a very hot setting which is actually really nice considering Nuwaras climate. The breakfast here is really high quality as well as the Sri Lankan lunch. Owner is very helpful and gracious. Definitely a big fan of this place.

Easy walking distance to attractions, cosy atmosphere.

An old guesthouse which is efficiently run by friendly helpful staff. As with many cheaper places in SL the rooms are a bit dated and faded but they do the job and there was plenty of hot water on tap which is essential in Nuwara Eliya. Nice to have breakfast in the garden, including lovely local tea, in the cool morning air.

It is a very lovely hotel with beautiful interior designs. In the cabinet, the boss has collected many different art of works made in copper. The room is big, and the bed has beautiful blanket. The boss is very friendly. When we want him to help us to hire a car, he make several calls and try his best to find a car with reasonable price for us. We enjoyed ourselves very much for two nights by staying in this hotel and by visiting “Grand Hotel” nearby and Tea Factory Hotel.

Colonial atmosphere but without hot water ”

Good location, spacious rooms, helpful staff and up to the mark breakfast. Owner most of the time present and cheerful with helping attitude.

we stayed at the hotel for three nights and it was only on our departure day when hot water issue was resolved. nuwara eliya being a cold place requires priority for hot water which we think management did not pay attention in time despite repeated complaints.breakfast was good but quality of other ordered food is not admirable. tea making and drinking water facility is not available in the room.

Nice location very near to Victoria Park and Town”

The size of the room was great, the staff were very freindly and the nesting bird in the chandelier is very adorable.

Our stay at the Glenfall resort was during the Sri Lankan new year so Nuwara Eliya was very busy giving us the opportunity to see lots of local celebrations. The location is great within walking distance of almost everything, the staff were very friendly and helpful, enjoyed the breakfast. The beds were clean, the whole room could do will a total redecoration as the furniture is very old and damaged. As for the bathroom there is a urgent requirement for an extractor fan, the bathroom smells of mould not a pleasant experience, the ceiling is mouldy and the window frames are rotting as its so damp. Its very overpriced in my eyes.

outdated hotel on a good location”

location, friendly staff

On arrival, we were appointed a room without (strange enough) cold water. Which lead to a steaming hot shower. Staff apologizied immediately and offered another room. Must be said, this service was great, but all rooms look outdated and a bit crappy. Same can be said on the breakfast, which just did not meet our expectations. On the day we woke up early to do the horton plains trip, they arranged a foodbox for breakfast for us, which was sweet. Humidity was a big problem for this hotel (wet clothes wouldnt dry up). Cjances are this is the case for many or all hotels in Nuwara Eliya.

Comfortable bed”

Comfortable bed

We had two nights here, the room was very cold and damp and due to a cyclone we had no electricity for most of our stay. The generator was only put on around 6pm on our second day and so we spent the time in our room huddled around a candle. The bed was comfortable though and they did provide extra blankets to try to keep us warm. The bathroom was basic, we had hot water on our last morning only, again due to electricity issues. We were told by the manager that the electric outage was across the region, however we have since spoken to numerous other travellers who were in Nuwara Eliya at the same time as us and they had had no power cut at all. The staff were friendly enough but were a little pushy in getting us to use to hotel's dining facilities. Our time here was pretty miserable due in part to the weather but also due to the basic standard of this hotel.
