Hotels near Hasala stores, Bandarawela

We were a group and visited as a family. It was a truly memorable trip and a stay at Train View Chalet. It was the most comfortable trip we ever had as everything was organized by Eranda. Starting from purchasing the train tickets, pick up from Bandarawela Station and taking us to our location. The staff were very efficient and friendly, we didn't have to tell them anything, but they took care of everything. Unloading our baggage, dropping them to each of our rooms. The rooms were clean and spacious and was provided with basic requirements. We felt as if we are home away from home. The atmosphere and surroundings were wonderful, and it is superb to relax. Even though it is named Train View Chalet, the trains do not travel in a disturbing way. You can watch the train passing by from your own room. The food was well presented and tasty. We stayed there 3 days and 2 nights, and we have no complaints nor any negative comments only recommendations for anyone who wants to visit this unique place. When it was time for our departure, we were dropped off to the station and the staff accompanied us to assist us with loading our baggage to train and for goodbyes. it was a hassle-free trip, and overall, it is ”Value for Money”. Finally, a big ”Thank You” to Eranda & Team for taking such good care of us and for your simplicity and friendliness. We will return to experience your great hospitality in future as well.

I travel solo and I prefer quiet and peaceful places where I can't hear the noise of the city or the music from the night clubs. So Nature Nest was just perfect for me. I liked everything. The room was light and spacious, a comfortable bad, a big bathroom with hot shower and a nice balcony made my stay cozy and pleasant. And it was so nice to hear the chirping of birds outside in the morning. It took me about 10 minutes to walk down to Ella and maybe a little more to walk up. And every time the walk in the nature was nice and pleasant. Sampat and Nadeeka were really helpful, they gave me many useful tips and good advice about Ella and Sri Lanka and I just had a great time talking with them. The food they cooked was really delicious and also they were so kind to give me a cooking lesson and even a ride when I needed it. I highly recommend the Nature Nest to anyone who values comfort and calmness. And I will be glad to come back if I have such a chance.

Amazing ‘on the rock’ hotel with amazing views of Mount Ella in front. A lovely gentleman upon arrival who was the Manager who gave us a very warm welcome. Easily settled into our rooms with my friends next door to us. A nice evening dinner and customer service. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful in coming up and sorting out our room issues and getting rid of any midgets we had in the bathroom. The room was so comfortable with very comfortable beds and pillows, I got the best nights sleep after a week here! The extra touches in the room were great and extra little amenities like dental kit in the bathroom. Great lighting in the room too for make up! We also got an iron and ironing board on request too. Breakfast was lovely in the morning. I wish we had stayed an extra night or 2 here. Thank you for your wonderful service and I would love to return here for longer!

We have stayed in a family room for one night on a busy long weekend & wished we could stay longer there. With the narrow approach road & parking, which is common to the Ella area, we had doubts , but the owner Mr Manjula & his staff were attentive & had solutions to the comfort of every guest with no hazzle. Food was very tasty & served on time & though the place was full we were welcome any time with good sevice even at short notice. Room with Beddings & Bath were clean & nice and had enough space. View from the room balcony of Ella rock was pleasing & with greenery around, the birds were a plenty with their songs. Though it was a short stay, with their little input from staff we could use the time well & visited the surrounding attractions & it was time well spent. All in all we really enjoyed our stay & so a big Thank you to Rock side Inn.

Where do I begin! Srilankan hospitality at its finest. Everyone from the pool, to the restaurant, the reception, kitchen staff were all at the top of their game. They were working as a well oiled machine. Everything that we did were carefully planned and executed. The night walk and the bird watching activities were enjoyable. Our butler lakshita was a great host. Our naturalist nishadi was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Nana(faisal) from the restaurant was a great server with lots of experience and knowledge about the food and the surrounding area. Dilki the mixologist made some great cocktails too. Definitely try the arrack Prince. The masseuse,dwi is incredible. The food was delicious. specially the breakfast. All the best to this hotel and I'm certain it's a very popular destination for anyone looking for some tranquillity.
