nice cottage with good territory and view”
Hillcot Bungalow is a nice cottage kept in a good condition with a terrace full of flowers. It has a decent price, especially if to compare it to other hotels in Nuwara Eliya even 2-stars. It is new, light, clean and cozy. This place is perfect if you stay with a company – in this case you may occupy all rooms and the whole building will be at your disposal. In cottage there are 6 rooms, two cozy and well-decorated lobbies, first of which has balcony (you may enjoy beautiful view of lake, hills and neighbor houses) and the second is two-lever one, with lounge and dining areas. If you prefer to have breakfast, you have to order it beforehand (one day before) or you may cook yourself. There is a kitchen area with all necessary utensils and household appliances. We cooked ourselves but in the end of our stay we had to pay a bill for using the kitchen. Also there is a barbeque, for usage of which you have to pay too. Rooms are spacious, clean and nice. Good view from all windows. Hot water in bathroom. No Internet in the whole cottage. The only thing we did not like in Hillcot was the staff. They were impudent and annoying. Totally about 6 men were on the territory of the cottage all day and all night. They did not help at all, but their presence you could feel everywhere. They behaved as they shared the house with us as tourists – were present at room where we sat, several times took our food without permission. When we were celebrating birthday party in dining room (cooked ourselves) they came to us and asked to give alcoholic drinks because they wanted to have fun too.

Cozy Bungalow ”
At one point, I could not find even one staff member in the afternoon for assistance. Luckily, it was not sth urgent. The hotel is spacious with plenty of common areas for you to chill out with your family and friends. It also oversees the lake park and mountains. If you come with a driver, they seemed to provide accommodation for him / her. It may well be the standard of Nuwara Eliya, the room price is a little too high compared with other areas in Sri Lanka.

satisfied but woould not return”
room and bath were fine. Major problem was distance from town and steep hill with no place to walk to once we were there. Staff were very helpful but no one spoke fluent English so communication was challenged. Breakfast was terrific and both check in and check out went smoothly

Beautiful Bungalow”
Beautiful Bungalow located right opposite Lake Gregory. Asoka/Prassanna and team are an efficient bunch who gave us great service. Simple and tasty food - comfortable interiors and a lovely lawn and garden. We did have problems with heaters in the rooms ( need to be replaced) but this wswas not a major drawback.

Dirty and no hot water ”
The accomodation was quite bad and it could not keep up with the pictures. Even if the house it self and the room was quite spacious it was very dirty, the towels had many dark spots, the toilette had mildew and the temperature in the house was very cold (we stayed in July). We had not water so shower and that was really necessary in this cold weather. Next to the negative aspects it had a few good ones as the rich breakfast with toast, jam, omelette or fried egg, fresh cut fruits and the good location through which it took 15 min. to the Clock Tower (city centre). The staff made also effort to erase bad aspects as the dirty towels. Nethertheless I would never recommend the accomodation. It was the first time I didn't want to use the toilette in a normal way because of the dirtiness.

Great potential”
Could have been so much better. Unfortunately there is a language barrier for those who do not speak the local language. However, the staff do try hard, it just doesn't quite come off. The food was acdissapoitment but this was partly our fault as we turned up 30minutes after the agreed time.

A very mixed bag”
Our first bedroom had no towel rail, no where to put cases, no waste paper basket, no safe, no glass's, the shower was either scalding or freezing and there was one bed side bulb missing. Wi Fi was to weak to work in bedroom. The biggest single problem was the absence of heating in the hotel. The temperature after sunset was below 5 degrees.Food quality was good but served almost cold in a freezing dining area. Overall, a very bad 3 day experience and very poor value for money. The location and public areas mean that this establishment has potential if they can correct the obvious deficiencies and stop claiming to have facilities which do not exist

Very bad experience”
The condition is bad , the sheet is really hard ,the water is not too warm and sometimes it is not enough for two people. But it is the worest thing that the staff. The manager told us they would prepare the dinner for us ,because it was later ,so we had decided to stay for dinner. We aks for the menu , the mannager told us there is not menu , he would recommend some local Sri Lankan food. So we had agreed. But when we finish , the manager told us everyone 25 dollar, even a child. Don't go to this hotel , the worst experience in Sri Lanka.
