R21 Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya City Centre, Nuwara Eliya

R21 Nuwara Eliya is a guest house situated in the Nuwara Eliya City Centre district of Nuwara Eliya. Featuring free private parking, the guest house is 10 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. The property is 600 metres from the city centre and 2.7 km from Gregory Lake. We had fantastic stay in this hotel. The vibe was just perfect, with beautifully spacious rooms and bathroom. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist with anything we needed, making our stay easier. Communication with the reception was seamless, and even the owner was approachable and helpful. The new rooms provided breathtaking views of the mountains, which truly enhanced the overall experience. Additionally, they arranged a last-minute pickup from Kandy for us, and upon arriving we found it was the owner who drove us due to their driver not being present that day. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and I can't wait to return!

Located in Nuwara Eliya and only 4 km from Gregory Lake, Cozy Heaven provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. Guests staying at this homestay have access to a balcony. The accommodation features full-day security, luggage storage space and currency exchange for guests. We loved our stay at Cozy Heaven! Lovely family, comfortable bed, great breakfast and dinner. We also bought a trip to three different waterfalls and tea factory from Sanjaya, which was also great and reasonably priced compared to other options. Sanjaya also helped us to get seats on the train to Ella, because we didnt have reserved seats. He also gave us really good tips for the rest of our journey! Thank you to the whole family and all the best! :)

There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. We really enjoyed our stay. Chaminda is an excellent host. He is very knowledgeable about the area and gave us lots of accurate, up to date information about the area and things to do (much more up to date information than we were able to find online). The rooms are spacious, clean and tidy. The bedding is nice, warm and cosy – perfect for the slightly cooler weather in Nuwara Eliya. The shower had good hot water. The breakfast was nice and always on time each morning. We’d happily stay again.

Ruchi House

Nuwara Eliya

Set just 3.8 km from Gregory Lake, Ruchi House provides accommodation in Nuwara Eliya with access to barbecue facilities, a shared lounge, as well as a 24-hour front desk. It is located 11 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden and features a shared kitchen. There is free private parking and the property offers paid airport shuttle service. As a solo female traveler, staying here I felt so safe and at home. The owner and his wife are so utterly sweet and hardworking. The owner has a TukTuk and for a very fair price, he picked me up/dropped me off at the train station. On top of this, he offered different excursion options on his TukTuk for tea plantations, hikes, waterfalls, etc. The owner honestly went above and beyond, not only was he a wonderful host, but also a great driver and tour guide. What really touched my heart was when he took me to the Horton Plains National Park and ended up doing the WHOLE hike with me because he did not want me to do it alone and wanted to make sure I was safe. Their home is a very cute 100+-year-old house, with two rooms. The room was spotlessly clean and had comfy beds with warm blankets for the chilly nights. The price includes breakfast and if you have an early excursion/train time they pack you a full breakfast as well! They also offer lunch and dinner, which the wife cooks. It was honestly the best food I had on my trip to Sri Lanka especially the chicken curry and dhal curry.
