Train View Chalet in Bandarawela is a delightful retreat that exceeded our expectations. Right from our initial call, communication was excellent, with detailed information sent via WhatsApp. The location is easily accessible by any vehicle. We booked the Luxury Double Room ("Pattipola"), a charming two-story villa complete with a living room featuring a fireplace, a bathtub, and a private verandah. Despite a widespread power outage during our stay, the staff ensured all facilities were operational. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with plain tea and Viskirinja (විස්කිරිඤ්ඤා). The attentive staff assisted with luggage, allowing us to enjoy our tea while exploring the villa. The bed was cozy, with clean sheets and towels provided. Surprisingly, hot water was available even during the power cut. If there was an air heater, that would be perfect. The bathroom and bathtub were clean, ⚠️ although the transparent fish tank near the bathroom raised privacy concerns. The verandah, equipped with bean bags, offered a serene spot to enjoy the train views. Wi-fi was available, and the fireplace in the living room added a special touch to our stay. For dinner, we opted for BBQ Chicken Kottu and Creamy Mushroom Soup, reasonably priced and served hot. The food was not only delicious but also generously portioned. In the morning, we witnessed the enchanting sight of trains passing by the chalet. The garden, home to rabbits, hamsters, and birds, added to the charm. Breakfast comprised string hoppers and bread with Sri Lankan curries, enjoyed in the clean and inviting restaurant. A nearby iron bridge, accessible by walking on the railway, provided another picturesque spot to explore. In summary, our stay at Train View Chalet was truly memorable. The service was exceptional, with friendly and efficient staff. The food was fabulous, and the facilities offered great value for the price. The welcoming atmosphere made us feel like friends rather than visitors. "Come as a visitor, go as a friend" – they embody this sentiment wholeheartedly! ❤️

Me & my friends had a memorable few nights in Train View Chalet. Green huge environment with so many natural assets in the property. This is a nature friendly unique hotel in Sri Lanka. The hotel has a natural bath, Colonial tunnel to walk under, trekking on railway track, mini zoo, fish therapy & pure oxygen to breath. Friendly staff with 24 hrs quick service & meals cooked from their own organic vegetables. All the luxuries are there. They do all the sightseeing tours with modified jeeps. All in one place. Highly recommend place for multiple nights....

Amazing, friendly and cosy hotel. The team took total care of our family from train pickup to drop off. They are quite organised and have a well laid out itinerary so the guests make the most of their time. The hotel has pets, birds, bee hives, tea plantation, vegetable patch and a lovely stream with a natural shower. This makes it perfect for families with young kids. It also is a dog friendly hotel.

Train View chalets are situated close to forest reserve and it is an ideal place to relax in a eco friendly environment. Whole property is green with various plants and at night, area was quiet except for random noise of small nocturnal animals and you get the feeling of a forest around you. We travelled from Colombo by the train and their vehicle was waiting for us at the Railway station. The owner is very friendly and always helpful. His customer service is excellent. He has his own vehicles and he organised our trips around Bandarawela. There was a range of choices for food and food is wonderful. We will definitely stay in Train View Chalet next time too.
