Set in Nuwara Eliya, 5 km from Gregory Lake, Namadi Nest home stay offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Namadi kindly picked me up from the train station and also drove me back later, which I really appreciated. We had a lovely conversation during the ride. The rooms are nice and clean, with hot water and a beautiful view. The location is a bit further from the city center, but it’s quiet and peaceful.

Laughing Leopard Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Nuwara Eliya.

Really good, sociable hostel. I enjoyed my stay here mainly because of how easy it was to meet people. The dorm rooms are fine but a bit cramped. They do a family dinner every night, and there's plenty of good spaces to hang out. They have 3 dogs and some really cute puppies, which were great to pet, although they did make the place a little less clean and tidy. They have good suggestions for things to do. We hiked the Pekoe Trail, which was great.

Set in Nuwara Eliya, within 2.6 km of Gregory Lake and 9.4 km of Hakgala Botanical Garden, PROMAX villa features accommodation with a shared lounge and as well as free private parking for guests who...

Nice place to stay with friendly hosts. The rooms are spacious and clean. Maybe it comes across as a little bit outdated but they are currently building new floors upstairs. The host can help you with tuktuks and trips. The only downside was that it was a bit moldy/moist (hard to avoid with the climate) and there was a strong food smell late at night. I would recommend the place, good value for money.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location for walking along the railway line, making it very good if catching the train for the scenic trip Nanu Oya to Ella.or to Kandy. He enabled us to check in a little earlier and gave us a few ideas of things to do, such as walking to the local waterfall. He would have cooked an evening meal for us but we chose a place in the village where there were a lot of locals eating.

    lovely family, very friendly. we actually didnt stay there over night and just stored out luggage during the day, as it was pretty cheap, but the rooms where clean, as well as the bathroom. 5 min drive to the city center or train station.

    It is very simple hostel with very basic facilities but friendly and helpful owners. They offered to pick and drop us off at the station and we got free welcome tea and cake upon arrival.
