Hotels Near Lindula Temple in Nuwara Eliya District

We went there on 8 July 2022. We were the only guest in the hotel apparently. The hotel was hard to find as no proper signs guide the directions. Eventually we got there. On arrival we were told that only cash payment could be accepted, this we found rather strange as there were 2 Credit card machine present. The staff hardly spoke English though as it was becoming dark we decided to have diner in the restaurant. Please see the photo on the poor diner at the CheRiz. As said the staff hardly spoke English and by insisting and insisting we got half of what we wanted. The WIFI was not working at all until we found out that it was only working in the lobby area. After diner we went to our room and all lights were turned off in the main lobby area, so it was scary to sit down in the lobby where the Internet worked more likely than in our room. In the morning we had breakfast with some French fried and eggs. Please see photo, rather poor I would say. We were told that the owner was from New Zealand and he just left for New Zealand. On the check out we insisted to pay by CC but that was not possible the said. On top of that we could not receive a proper invoice. Only after insisting and insisting and trying, the credit card payment succeeded. Unfortunately we forgot a power bank in the room Elgin, our driver called the hotel and it was found in the room. Good news. A few hours later we had made a plan, without waisting petrol, to receive our power bank back. Therefore the hotel was called again with our recovery plan. We were told there was no power bank found at all. We were told to check our bagage better as there was no power bank in the hotel. The manager told us that she had asked the staff again and no power bank was found. So apart from trying to get cash instead of a genuine traceable credit card we were treated badly on the discovery of our power bank. Therefore for us this is not a trustworthy hotel. Avoid in all instances !

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. It is situation surrounding beautiful tea plantations and misty valleys. You feel like you travel back in time. Hotel is made in an abandoned tea factory. They have tried to preserve old structures as they are which adds to your incredible experience. Rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. Dinning area is dimly lit and the way they maintain things gives you a feeling of living in the colonial era. The naturalist took us on a nice hike to a waterfall through beautiful tea plantations and villages. We really enjoyed the hike and the guided tour in the tea factory. Although there was no buffet we loved their set menus and the way they served them the staff been attentive to every detail. We were glad that there was no TV cause it was all about tea, mountains, mist and beautiful valleys. It wasn't so easy to get up to the hotel through winding roads but once you get there it's all worth it. The staff were very friendly and professional. Their hospitality together with the wonderful location added to our wonderful experience.

Down a long drive, not for the faint hearted, we arrived at Goatfell, a true home from home style hotel, with only 4 guest rooms. Our room was beautiful and included a lovely cot for our 9 month daughter. The location is quite remote so we spent the 2 days walking and relaxing in the grounds, rather than driving reasonable distances to local activities. The food was incredible and offered a great selection of local delicacies as well as international dishes. We love the fact that lots of the vegetables and herbs were grown in their gardens. The staff were all wonderful, welcoming and very happy to help with any request… including washing numerous bottles for our daughter. We would certainly recommend Goatfell to anyone wanting a relaxing break surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Traveling the island and staying at the new hotel every day. On the basis of reviews, they thought this hotel would be the worst... but it was one of the best! There are both baldachin, hot water, pleasant bed linen, and teapot with cups)) and the room itself is big! Everything is clean and neat. It was very nice to stop here! 👍
