8/10 Very good

Nice hotel even if lacking character
We had a pleasant stay here. The rooms are comfortable, but there’s nothing special about the hotel itself. The location is very handy for a walk through Galway Park and it’s out of the bustle of town. Restaurant is fine. The surrounding area is a bit hilly if you want to walk around.
Ellen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average stay, rooms basic facilities, basic. Staff were helpful though.
Raj, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Value for money
Its more like a small boutique hotel. The facilities are limited and location is a bit inside. Its like more of a 3 star and the view is average but the staff is very helpful and friendly. The food is good but not great and the choice is limited. Its pocket friendly. Its fine for tourists with a medium bedget

Vera, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Mind the step
Old colonial hotel, very decent. Staff were very nice. Restaurant not so good in taste. Carpets in the room needs change. No Airconditioned , because it’s cold you need heater. I found management didn’t do anything about the steps that just one step bit higher and front of my eyes 3 people tripped, including my wife. Not may people don’t understand why they tripped, but closer inspection just one step 2 cm higher than other. Not sure what health and safety in SriLanka doing about this.
Krishnamoorthy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

mountain view laughable, don’t bother with upgrade, sleeping in a room with a thousand pigeons on the roof is not fun , the shower smells like a sewer
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at the Galway Heights Hotel may not have happened as I had booked the wrong night for accommodation! Dilshan and the team went beyond expectations and found 2 rooms for our travelling group (the last 2!)...was kind enough to show us the room and see if it met our expectations and had them both freshened up so that we could be comfortable for the night. The team at this hotel bent over backwards to help us, the room was big, comfortable and clean and the team in the restaurant were just as nice (the dining room is a work of art). The only thing to be wary of is that the rooms let in a fair bit of noise, so don't forget to pack your ear plugs!
Anendra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Had more than enough night staff and they were helpful, but next day morning in the reception there was a young staff member who was managing the reception on his own could not even understand what I said, how to reply or speak English and how to print the closing bill to say there is nothing outstanding because I paid the dinner money when we had the meal and rest of the bill was already paid up front. This staff member running round in circle not knowing what to do and wasted almost more than 45 minutes of our time and made our day VERY, VERY MISERABLE... This should not be acceptable for a four star Hotel and I hope you consider paying for the inconvenience caused by your staff!!!

Very good and quiet hotel
Dejligt hotel i et roligt område i Nuwara Eliya. Fantastisk personale. Meget venlige og behjælpsomme. Det eneste der trækker lidt ned var kvaliteten af aftensmaden. Men absolut et anbefalelsesværdigt hotel
