    For a quick stop over this an easy location with a great host. We felt very welcome and comfortable spending time in the common area. Easy to get to aprox 900m from the station. Had a really large ensuite and hot water was good. We had a nice chicken fried rice dinner with the host and loved the welcome tea and cake!

    The way from the station is along the road so it’s better to use tuk tuks.

    Prices are reasonable, you get a nice view and a lot of space in the sharing areas. The manager is friendly and helpful. There are not so many places to eat (we visited the van near the train station and the local shops with samosa etc) but you can also use the kitchen and there is a breakfast. There is an amazing hike just nearby along tea plantages and local villages, we enjoyed it more than the fancy tea factories as dambro.

    There were a couple of steps into the en-suite. Potentially a hazard when using the loo at night. The bed had an under sheet but no top sheet - just a blanket which had probably been used by others . We communicated this to the host who said he would make sure a top sheet was provided in the future.

    Everything was fine - nothing fancy. The highlight for us was having dinner at The Train View (a guesthouse about 1.5Km away). The food was delicious. Got to meet the hosts family - a very authentic experience

    Cheap and quite good place for one night to get train to Ella. Helpful manager, tried to do as much as possible in current situation. In photos looks much better, but for such price and one night it is ok. Very noisy beds. Location for train not perfect, but manager arranged tuk tuk. Almost imposible to see the train, around just poor vilage houses. Very unpleasant bathroom...

    No one present when I arrived. I had to get a next door neighbour to telephone manager. No signs indicating accommodation. I had to match picture with my vision.

    Clean, good internet, not far from railway station.

    The property is located at a 5 mins drive from Nanu Oya Railway Station, and is super convenient for people who want to stay closer to the station at an affordable price. The property manager can also help you in arranging a tuk-tuk to Nuwara Eliya, which is 30 mins from the property.

    A little way from town.

    This is a large house with all facilities ideal for large family group. It is quite close to train station but a little way from town. I had a good curry at the Redheysu restaurant which is very close.

    - There was no soap in the bathroom. I found later on small one in the kitchen. - The kitchen upstairs I was told to use had limited things in it, but then downstairs where the reception is had a big new fridge (which I think was to be used by whoever slept overnight in a bed next to the reception). - The kitchen could use a bit of cleaning. - A pigeon on the roof decided to start 'cooing' early in the morning and woke me up.

    I booked the property because I wanted to stay near the train station as I was catching a train the day after. It is in a good place- less than 10 mins away from the train station walking. The house itself is good. I liked the bed I had. I was the only one in the property and he let me choose my room. Overall- the house is super solid! I loved my bed and the room! They also get an extra point for listening- one of the previous comments mentioned they did not have a sheet for the blanket. I was given one which means they read reviews and then take onboard the recommendations.

    The property manager was very courteous and helpful. the fellow guests were like a gang of friends and always on the lookout for help. liked the vibe. the toilet is a shared one as has just the basic amentities.

    The location was ideal for us as it was walking distance from the NanuOya railway station and the bus stop where we took buses to Nuwara Eliya (which is only about 9km and 20-25mins away). The room was clean with a comfortable bed and an attached spacious toilet/bathroom with hot water. There was a communal kitchen/pantry if we needed to prepare food too. Selva the manager was very friendly and helpful in making our stay very pleasant and even helped us with info to visit sights near by (including a gorgeous waterfall where we hiked to and bathed in).

    There's no staff there and I wasn't given a contact number, it's in a remote location so it feels a little vulnerable as a solo traveller. They don't supply any water or a kettle and there's nowhere nearby to buy any, so bring your own. Someone comes in the morning to make breakfast and waits for you to eat so they can leave again. Another uncle pops in in the evening, both the staff are very nice but I wouldn't stay here again. Whoever owns this place hasn't given any consideration to guest comfort, in terms of plug sockets, lighting, space for clothes , ability to air out the damp room etc etc.

    The room was clean and the bed was comfortable

    Behaviour and Lie

    I was kept waiting at the property for 1 hour in the early morning as I reached about 2.30 am, informed in advance and taken concurrence through Booking official website. Neither the owner nor the property manager turned up. As I returned back to station, property manager called and asked who is attending to guest at night. If facility was not there, you should have responded in negative when I asked you in advance.

    There was no electrical outlet..there was only one that was broken. The shower was broken. There was no shampoo and... All the handles were broken. The noise from outside came in. It was about seven kilometers from Nuralia and you had to go by tuk-tuk if you wanted to go somewhere there and you had to pay at least 1300 rupees. The space was small and there was only one room with a private bathroom. The kitchen was terribly dirty and had lizards and cockroaches. The dishes were dirty and unusable. Has no free water ,

    We arrived a day early to my booking (vacation brain) but they looked after us. Staff was great! I am 6'5 so the bed footer made it a tight fit but otherwise things were great. The 15 min walk from the train station allows for some amazing views of the countryside.
