Reviews of Train View Villa

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable

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.

I like there food chicken fried rice and the English breakfast. And host Mr. Haran is very friendly and very nice . And quiet place . Walking distance from the railway station.

Great location to catch the train to Ella

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!

No real windows

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.

Behaviour and Lie

Shared bathroom

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.

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

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 ,

Not much.

It was down a dirt track/lane. Dangerous electrics in bathroom. Rainfall shower didn’t work. Bedding and towels sub standard. No kettle. local eating places not very appealing.

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

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.

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...

The Property is located near near to the train station and you will probably have a very comfortable stay there. Especially the service was amazing! The Staff even made me Breakfast at 5:30 in the morning and if you have question he is always available.

It was such a nice stay for one night. The host was so friendly and helpful, we got such a nice early breakfast before our check out. It was located perfectly, it took only 15mins to walk to Ella railway station.

Clean, good internet, not far from railway station.

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.

Comfort and help from the property owner

Very good service and so nice staff!

Bathroom, everything is wet after someone took a shower

Inside the tea plantation area and near to Nanu Oya station and Glassough water falls Calm place to take rest and listen to bird sound Mr.Selva , the manager is very very helpful and polite spoken Mr.Bala the owner and his family, prepared our break fast and it through Mr.Bala, the food was very delicious and one day before Mr.Selva ask us what do you want in breakfast accordingly he prepared.
