House of Leisure

Wir zwei Mädels waren für 2 Nächte in einem 5er Dorm. Das Zimmer war sauber, groß und hatte eine sehr gute heiße Dusche. Die Gastgeber waren freundlich und haben uns weiter geholfen, falls wir Fragen hatten. Man hat eine schöne Aussicht und wir hatten einen Balkon.

Good location and friendly staff. The room was nice and clean. 2 points: 1) room was between the reception, the dining area, and the staff quarters. On the first night there was a lot of noise outside the room. Some form of argument between guests and the staff member. With argument concluded the staff was shouting loudly on the phone to someone until 23:50. 2) water in the water filter was dirty. When I pointed it out the staff did remove the dirty water but bad that it hadn’t been checked!

I really enjoyed my stay at this place. It was super comfortable and the host was very welcoming. Anytime we had questions he was more than happy to help us. The room I got was amazing, only thing was the shower was placed in an odd part which made the toliet get all wet. But no other complaints. This place has stunning landscape views and quite a few common room areas where you can chill out. Another thing is I didn’t find it as social maybe one to think about if you are solo travelling :)

I really enjoyed my stay in the house of leisure!! It is a huge building with british oriented interior and a lot of chill areas. I had a food poisoning during my stay and the staff was so helpful and I could even extend my checkout. The beds are really comfortable and it was giving villa feelings. Definitely would come again!!

Wat een fijne plek! Bij aankomst werd ik warm verwelkomd. Mijn kamer was niet alleen schoon, maar ook sfeervol ingericht. Het personeel deed echt een stapje extra om mijn verblijf aangenaam te maken. Er lijkt wel een vocht probleem te zijn, schimmel plekken in de douche en op andere plekken in het hotel.

The room is very big and has everything you need. It’s a little bit older but for the price you get a lot. It is located a little bit away from everything but it’s easy to order a tuk tuk. Breakfast was delicious. There is not dinner restaurant here so you will have to find dinner in town. The staff is very sweet and makes sure you have everything you need. I saw a sign in the room that said they will rent a space heater for extra charge if you need it, I didn’t need it but good to know.

This hotel has the most beautiful view from the balcony, terrace, the rooms and the common rooms. The host is super sweet and prepared a lovely breakfast for us! It is a very calm place and nice to have some downtime, surrounded by beautiful hikes!

Property was a bit away from the centre but the host was very lovely. Upgraded us to a private room as it was spare and was helpful in quickly sorting out a power issue in the morning

We stayed here for one night but wished we could stay longer. Our host was so welcoming and friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. We had tea on arrival and he organised and took us on a tour of Nuwara Eliya which was so fun and interesting and saved us a lot of hassle. Breakfast was delicious and service was perfect. Location was incredible with beautiful views! Couldn’t recommend enough.

The room was clean(ish) and nice views. Breakfast was good. If you’re looking for social hostel, this is not it, we didnt really meet anyone, but it was calm. The room was really cold since it was 12 degrees outside and no heating.

Lovely and relaxing place to stay in Nuwara Eliya House of Leisure truly lives up to its name. The property is calm, clean, and surrounded by beautiful greenery, making it a perfect place to relax. The rooms are well maintained and comfortable, and the hot water and heating were a big plus in the chilly climate. The hosts were warm, attentive, and made sure our stay was smooth and pleasant. It’s a great location—quiet yet close enough to the main attractions. I really enjoyed my stay and wou...

This hostel was beautiful and the staff was so helpful! Even let us run their clothes drier when the weather was rainy. Had a lovely, cozy fireplace, and breakfast was great too.

Amazing stay at House of Leisure, Nuwara Eliya! I had a wonderful experience here. The rooms were clean, cozy, and warm—perfect for the cool Nuwara Eliya weather. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with travel tips or anything I needed. The location is peaceful, with beautiful surroundings and easy access to the town. I also loved the homely atmosphere; it felt very comfortable and welcoming. Great value for money and definitely a place I’d recommend to anyon...

Very clean, friendly and peaceful stay. Beautiful homely decor with lots of quiet common space. I was in a room of three single beds with a fantastic view of the tea plantations and a spacious, clean bathroom. The staff were very attentive and kind. Ten minute Tuk Tuk into the town area for dinner if you don’t want to walk down the hill ✨

Établissement très éloignée de la ville, désertique tant dans son périmètre géographique que dans ses murs. J’ai eu l’impression de débarquer chez des gens et pas du tout d’être dans une auberge de jeunesse. On indique un stand pour prendre café ou thé en arrivant et voilà. L’hotel était vide et en attendant on m’a quand même donné la chambre juste derrière la réception, au RDC avec vu sans filtres sur le parking… je ne recommande pas …

Unfortunate i was sick on my two nights in Nuwara Eliya but was taken very good care of the host. He came to check in me and even took me to the doctor to get some medicine and food. The bed was comfortable and the location is in a quite area. Thanks again!

Superb place and I enjoyed the stay with a warm welcome. The room is super clean and the view is amazing. Staff are really friendly and they are always there to help.

The people and the owner are very kind and they have a good breakfast. But in the female dorm there was no heather so it was freezing in the night. The dorm is also a bit more up the hill with only a fragile door to close the dorm. When the wind is really hard it feels not nice. Because they don’t heath anything there is mold growth everywhere.

Do not recommend this place. The elderly male staff kept staring at us during breakfast and inappropriately touched me and my friend during our stay. The place was cold and totally empty during off season. A kiss on the cheek by an old Sri Lankan man definitely wasn’t in my bucket list!!!

Loved it here! The place itself is beautiful, clean and welcoming. I stayed in there female only dorm and it was immaculately clean. And I felt very safe here as a solo female traveler. Definitely one of the nicest places I’ve stayed in. Location wise it’s very convenient, walking distance from town. The people who work here are also very helpful and kind. 10/10 from me!
