Very nice and clean house. I recommend it 100%, I've never seen people so attentive and friendly, the dormitories, mattresses and sanitary facilities are in very good condition and clean. Thank you very much. 
In terms of price/performance ratio, it is great value! highly recommended! The boss is a young man, he is enthusiastic, and his English is very good. My English is very poor. The boss also taught me to use WeChat translator to communicate! I booked it for two days, because I didn't understand a lot when I first arrived in Sri Lanka, so I always troubled the boss on WeChat at any time. The boss also helped me see through the calling card traffic scam. It is really good that the boss is patient! Fortunately, I have chosen his home many times. In the morning, I also asked you the choice of breakfast food for the next day, very carefully. The environment is at the level of a domestic roadside hotel, but the service is at the level of a five-star hotel. There is air-conditioning, a fan, the bath water is hot enough, and the toilet, bath, and face are separated! When I left, I called us a tutu car, the price was so cheap!
=====2025-11-10~11===== The Carnation Rest, located in Nuwara Eliya, Central Province, is essentially a guesthouse or B/B. Situated on the outskirts of town, it's surrounded by other hotels and guesthouses, as well as supermarkets and shops, giving it a more vibrant and lively atmosphere.
Our room was a suite on the second floor of a villa along the street, with one large (1.5 meters) bed and one small (1 meter) bed. The room was fairly well-equipped, without air conditioning (the temperature is only 10-20 degrees Celsius here due to the higher elevation, so it's unnecessary), but it had a water heater and a hairdryer. The suite's living room had tableware and a sofa. The room was a bit old, but the amenities seemed clean and hygienic. The bed was comfortable, and of course, there were no toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, or slippers (which I'm quite used to).
The guesthouse staff (who are also the owners) were several very nice and handsome young men, extremely friendly. We found no decent restaurants nearby, but there was a large supermarket, so we asked the handsome owner if we could use their kitchen for dinner. To our surprise, he readily agreed without hesitation, only requesting that we not cook pork. So we quickly went to the supermarket to buy meat, vegetables, coconut oil, and seasonings, and cooked a delicious meal. Afterwards, the owner even washed all the dishes for us. It was truly touching.
The next morning's breakfast was largely the same as the previous days, except for yogurt and cake.
When paying for the room, they didn't accept the USD deposit from Ctrip; we paid in cash on the spot.
Looking back, the environment here was an improvement over the previous ones; at least we could take a walk outside in the evening. The owner was incredibly friendly; they didn't charge us extra for using the kitchen or cleaning up after us, leaving a very pleasant impression.
It was a good accommodation with comfortable and with friendly service ,they show the attention towards you and do the necessary arrangements if you required .Well it was a good place and I recommend you all to have the experience.

The price was cheap. Since we were leaving late at night and needed to leave the next morning, we chose a budget-friendly guesthouse. The courtyard was very well maintained. Our family room had a bedroom, a small living room, a kitchen, and a small balcony. The kitchen was fully equipped with various appliances, but we didn't get a chance to use them.
The dining area had a very open view.
We saw some long-term European and American tourists in other rooms. Their rooms had small terraces outside, where they could leisurely read in the morning – quite comfortable.
There were also downsides. The slope leading to the courtyard was very steep, requiring us to park the car downstairs and carry our luggage in, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, the breakfast was a bit expensive, so we opted to eat at the hotel to avoid the hassle. The food was okay, but not great value for money.
Séjour exceptionnel au Milano Grand – un véritable 5 étoiles pour la qualité et l’accueil
Nous avons séjourné deux nuits au Milano Grand, et l’expérience a été absolument parfaite du début à la fin.
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec une boisson fraîche, ce qui fait vraiment du bien après un trajet. Le personnel est impeccable, d’une gentillesse et d’une disponibilité incroyables.
Un immense merci au manager Lucky, dont la bienveillance et le professionnalisme ont transformé notre séjour.
Nos lourds bagages ont été portés jusqu’à la chambre, et on nous a donné d’excellentes recommandations pour visiter, pour manger, et même un scooter nous a été réservé et organisé pour nos explorations du lendemain.
Le petit déjeuner était royal : fruits frais, smoothies frais, variété et générosité.
Les chambres étaient grandes, très propres, et vraiment confortables.
L’emplacement est parfait : juste à côté de la gare routière. Et surtout, au check-out, Lucky nous a personnellement accompagnés à la gare, pour nous montrer exactement quel bus prendre. Un geste rare, attentionné, et profondément apprécié.
Pour le prix, la qualité, l’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel, cet hôtel mérite largement 5 étoiles.
Je recommande très fortement le Milano Grand. Une adresse exceptionnelle à Dambulla 🙏✨
This hotel was very comfortable with a refrigerator, cooler, shower in the room, towels and dryers.
Thanks to the refrigerator, I was happy to be able to cool and drink the sake I bought outside.
It is also near Candy Station and faces the main street, so access is good.
The price of the Youth Hostel, the service of the hotel. The location is a bit biased, but it takes ten minutes to walk to Kangping Lake and more than 20 minutes to the Buddha Tooth Temple. The facilities are very new and there is a balcony to see the scenery of Kangti. There seems to be a bar on the top floor, very lively, and the end of ten o'clock on time does not affect the rest. In short, it is very cost-effective and worth booking
Beautiful hotel in a convenient location (walking distance to cafes/restaurants and short drive from main sightseeing location). Super friendly and accommodating staff and a very cute dog too. The rooms were spacious and clean, and breakfast was delicious. Thank you for our stay!
Very Good

Staff were wonderful, so helpful and took time to help me plan a full day as I only had one day in Kandy. They also gave me suggestions for my trip after Kandy also. The gym was fantastic to have and the pool. Kettle and fridge in the rooms. Located very near to the city Centre of Kandy. Really worth the reasonable price! Really personal touch…much appreciated! Would totally recommend!
This wonderful hotel boasts English charm and warm Sri Kanjan hospitality! We were freezing cold after a long motorbike journey and we're promptly treat to a great pot of hot tea. All food is freshly prepared and so delicious. I really recommend staying in for dinner. The rooms are cosy and comfortable (no need for fans or aircon) and wifi is good.
Here’s a **short review** you can use: **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Clean and comfortable rooms with a cozy atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location is convenient for exploring Nuwara Eliya. Great value for money — would definitely recommend!
What a marvellous stay! The host was really friendly and accommodating, breakfast is made fresh - a delightful way to try some local dishes. My room was nice and well equipped, it felt clean and the wifi coverage was great! Some of my previous stays the wifi was unstable. The location is fantastic, easily accessible to the Main Street, whilst tucked away in a quieter area. There is a local supermarket up the road. The shared areas and view are both equally beautiful, lush with greenery. Thank you for the lovely stay Sarath!
A lovely stay! It’s been a little chilly in late July, the room has a heater and a thick blanket making my stay cosy. The wifi signal has been great - in my previous accommodations they would be unstable. The staff were all friendly and accommodating, I was able to do my laundry here, which was perfect as I’ve just over half way in my time in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was well balanced and healthy. The location is perfect, it’s right next to the main road. There’s a big supermarket nearby as well the city centre. For hiking you can easily access the Single Tree hill. Thank you for having me.
GGuest UserWe enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ganthera and the staff were friendly however the room itself could have been improved. For example, there was distinct black marks on the walls and some mould in the bathroom but we understand the climate is humid (also some dead bugs). Bed area was clean and satisfactory and we slept well.
The front door is locked at night so beware if needing to leave early - staff are not attentive to this.
Whilst we did not use the pool area, the view was nice and pool looked good. Overall we enjoyed our stay but would probably not come back.
Great place to stay if you want to explore the lions rock and the area around. Pidurangala rock is only 15min away by tuk tuk, the lions rock can be done by walk (~20min walk to entrance). But the best experience was the kindness of the hosts. The helped us in every way (explaining routes, advices on activities, organizing tuk tuk, etc.). The food was amazing and we had a lot of interesting conversations with the friendly stuff. Special thanks to Daushna, Larush & Nimal for making our stay remarkable.
We stayed one night here. Very friendly and nice staff. Mr. Bandara and his team welcomed us warmly. A lovely and quiet place and beautiful garden. We were served with very good breakfast, bread, butter , jam, sausages, omelette, coffee or tea, fruits, juice and 2 local dishes ( sambol and Dal curry with rice). We would like to say thank you. There is coffee , tea and kettle in the room and a bottle of water too.
