Great place to stay near Adam's Peak”

Very close to start of hiking path to Adam's Peak. Room is big and clean, no fan but it's cold enough to not have any. Staffs are friendly and kind. Try the curry, it's one of the best I have had in Sri Lanka! Walk further up to get direct bus back to Hatton, do not listen to the tuk tuk drivers about no direct bus, 3 hours travelling time etc.

Great location for Adams Peak and amazing food!”

The rooms here are quite basic but great value for what you pay. It was the Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast we had here that really surprised us! It was so delicious and for that alone we would recommend staying here. The staff are nice and helpful. The main dining area is chilled and a good place to relax.

Good location for Adams Peak”

The hotel is well located for AP, just 800m from the start and the hotel staff showed us how to get there when we arrived. The hotel organised a Tuk tuk for us from Hatton station, but there was some confusion their end that caused us a delay so you’re better off getting your own, there were plenty waiting there. Our hotel room was ok, the shower was warm but lacked any pressure which isn’t ideal after the hike. Also, all the noise from the main area of the hotel and kitchen carries all around the building so it was difficult to get an early night. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, both of which were ok.

Wow”

Stay here when you climb Adam's Peak! I am the most picky person ever and this place was fantastic! So cutely decorated, cleanest place ever, awesome balcony with a gorgeous view. I was very bummed we only stayed one night, because the area is stunning. If I were to do it again I would stay one full night before the hike get up and relax, im sure the host can arrange a nearby tea estate walk. Then the second night I would hike Adam's Peak then move on the next morning (you will be very sore the next day after you sleep!)

Great "base camp" for Adam's peak hike!”

This is ideal place to stay, when you want to hike for Adam's peak. It is apr. 20 minutes by walk to main entrance for the famous hike. Breakfast were quite expensive, but tasty. The other meals were prepared very good and you don't have to bother looking for another place to eat in Delhousie.

Good stay for Adam’s peak hike ”

The location is about 400m walking distance to the entrance of Adam’s peak, suitable for a short stay before the hike. Staff are helpful and waited for us to check in when we reached Dalhousie a bit late. They serve good breakfast and the amount is plentiful. Highly Recommended.

Best accommodation for your Adam's Peak hike!”

If you intend to come to Adam's Peak, this place is highly recommended! Location is just at the foot of the mountain. The lobby and dining area has a cool industrial chic vibe. There is even a rooftop area of you would like to chill and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains. The room is very clean and cosy. And lastly, the staffs were the most amazing! Madu and his colleagues gave us such good hospitality. He was an amazing chef too. He cooked for us some amazing Sri Lankan breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hugging Clouds is highly recommended!
