One of the best hotels I think I've stayed in and I've stayed in many! I think what topped it for me was when we came back to our room for bed, there was a got water bottle waiting and our duvet! This hotel has character, charm and exquisite! The only bad remark I could give is that the food portions are tiny. They try to make it petite food like a 5 star restaurant but it doesn't work well.
Mostly Members Only
But, got a chance to stay a wonderful night at Hill Club.
Friendly, Sincere staff and their service is excellent.
Must say, the best place stayed at Uwaraeliya on my visit.
Some what expensive rooms and their charges but their standards are always the same.
The quality charter of the club is - Courtesy, Charm, character, calm and cuisine. I think it ticks off all these attributes. This is your quintessential "old England" atmosphere. Lovely heritage building immaculately maintained along with a garden busting with a profusion of colours. Great base at the heart of Nuwara Eliya cut away from the hustle and bustle of the town and other poorly constructed motels.
A-ma-zing.
I felt like a princess. Amazing decor, good service. Hot water bottle under my duvet made my evening :)
A comfortable "club" environment! Seeped in its heritage. Your stay will be comfortable in super quite, large rooms. Nice homely bar and a lovely formal dinning hall with a wood fire place.
Very interesting visit to see this members club. It's a 100Rs for a temporary membership for the day. We also got a little tour round the building! Quite nice to sit and have tea and cake! (It was Poya day when we went, but I'm sure a g&t would also be nice here)
Very relaxing hotel ideally situated just in the sweet spot, not too close yet not too far from town.
Great service and satisfactory quality and quantity of food. The staff are fantastic!
Beautifully manicured lawns sat having drinks watching croquet. Very atmospheric. Staff impeccably dressed and service excellent. Indoors is old colonial style and comfortable. Drinks reasonably priced.
Would recommend
I like the vintage feel to the place and the friendly staff. Breakfast was good, but dinner not really what I expected from a place with these ambitions.
we didn't stay here but came here for dinner. you have to pay a 100rs temporary joining fee. we ate in the formal dining room so my partner had to borrow a jacket tie which didn't come as an extra cost. he brought proper shoes but we saw other men just wearing sneakers. we arrived about an hour early to enjoy drinks in the lounge which has a fireplace. we then moved to the dining area for a five course set meal which is $25USD. we're both vegetarian so they catered for us which was no hassle at all. there was also a pianist playing next to us too. our waiter ravi was excellent and very attentive and friendly the entire time.
Very old building dating back to 1876 which sounds good but on other hand it means most of there things are also very old Like furniture, carpets and may be even towels They have beautiful garden and great location but very bad kitchen service along with extra serious and not so co-operative restaurant staff. We had to ask for water three times for them to finally bring it. Plus they have very limited menu as well Like four items for breakfast to choose from there were no bathroom slippers.
They have good indoor activities like billiards, snooker, darts, carrom board plus DVD movies but keeping in mind some of them are paid activities.
They have good reading area along with TV lounge plus some antiques here and there which are interesting to see
Old British style place with tie as a must dress code for the library area on the ground floor. Liked it. Quaint place.
Towels were old and shabby like the room. Style was still elegant and classy. Beautiful gardens and common areas. Fine dining hall had excellent service and food, the jacket and tie loan added a beautiful touch of grace with the piano and fireplace.
Best place to stay not just in Nuwara Eliya but in Sri Lanka!
Basking on it's old English heritage!. if you are in for modern amenities and clean facilities this may not be yours.
Not much opition for meals !!!
Slow & ineffixient service during breakfast.
Has seen better days unfortunately. They should rethink the concept to really utilise what is a wonderful location and building.
Great history behind this magnificent property. Nice and relaxing place
A lovely hotel with a lot of heritage, but unfortunately showing her age. Still has the throwback to the colonial days by having a restaurant that requires jacket and tie for dinner. The only other restaurant in the hotel is, frankly, empty despite serving the same food! The rooms, despite being renovated, are still not quite where they should be when you pay so much per night. The hot water bottles in bed at night are a lovely touch!
The staff in general are outstanding : warm, friendly, helpful. They really make Hill Club what it is. Finally, if you can, do watch the daily flag hoisting for a fantastic experience!
Hotel offering Old style colonial experience, clean and tidy, rooms could do with some updating. Staff all very helpful, quiet but also close to town centre. High class dining menu but limited, particularly for teenage veggies. Casual dining room available so no need to dress up unless you want to. Local dogs barking and sloping floor to room kept us awake all night.
Set in the middle of serene mountains and next to Golf course this is definitely a great British era mansion converted to hotel. It has a main wing and a cottage with. Both has its own plus points and negatives. Services are prompt in main wing and one gets the feeling of staying in the British era building. However the rooms are small and not very modern. Cottage has huge modern rooms but being away from main wing services are not that prompt there. Food menu has limited options and so is the breakfast menu.
Staff is nice and friendly. There is a lot of theme rooms to explore in different sections of hotel. It has 2 restaurants:
- Formal one for which one has to be dressed in jacket and tie. Hotel has provides that in case one is not having. It's setup is very nice though.
- Casual one is the other restaurant with no restrictions.
