Suriya Guest is set in Nuwara Eliya, 1.2 km from Gregory Lake and 7 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. Free private parking is available on site.

Suriya Guest features free WiFi throughout the property.

You will find a 24-hour front desk at the property. About 15 minutes walking from the centre, in a quiet location. The room was great, spacious, spotless, with everything you might need. Bathroom is brand new and the shower is powerful. Love that! Breakfast is excellent too, we didn’t try the dinner. Staff were great, always happy to help out. Liked the cheap laundry service, handy when backpacking around Sri Lanka. Oh and the bed is the most comfortable one I’ve slept on here. Can’t go wrong with this place - trust me, stay here.

Offering mountain views, Thuvaraga Inn is an accommodation situated in Nuwara Eliya, 3.7 km from Gregory Lake and 11 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. Free private parking is available and the guest house also features car hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. We were warmly welcomed by the owner of the guesthouse. The room was very spacious and beautifully decorated – really comfortable. The owner was extremely kind and gave us great advice about nearby restaurants. He was also very helpful with practical tips, especially regarding the train. His suggestion to board the train one station earlier to secure a seat was absolutely brilliant. We truly enjoyed our stay in Nuwara Eliya. Highly recommended!

Offering a garden and garden view, RC AWKWARD is situated in Nuwara Eliya, 1.5 km from Gregory Lake and 5.4 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. This guest house provides a shared lounge. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. This is honestly one of the best places we stayed in Srilanka. The rooms are clean, it smells very good, the beds are comfortable, we got extra blankets for the night. The food they prepare is so delicious and afordable (10 eur for two people and you get soooo much food). Rajith is an amazing host, he told us so much about Srilanka and he even took us on a walk through the tea plantations near the accomodation. We recommend staying here! 😊

The units are equipped with a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a kettle, a walk-in shower, a hair dryer and a desk. Some units include a terrace and/or a balcony with mountain or lake views. At the guest house, all units are fitted with bed linen and towels. We had an absolutely fantastic stay! Everything about this hotel was perfect, from the stunning design to the warm and cozy atmosphere. I particularly loved the Christmas decorations in the lobby – it made the place feel magical, even though it was October! The breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of options, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful – some of the best I’ve ever encountered. This might just be the best accommodation I've ever stayed at. I would come back to Nuwara Eliya just to stay here again!

Well located in Adams Peak, Water Side Residence provides a continental breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house offers free private parking and room service. The accommodation features private check-in and check-out and a tour desk for guests. Friendly and helpful hosts, explained a lot about the land, offered us torches cause the climb is not lit, when we figured that it was. Clean and comfortable rooms. Loved to see a boiler for a good hot shower.
