La Grande Villa

Luxury room with all the comforts in a beautiful hotel, surrounded by a beautiful garden! All the staff are super attentive and friendly! We had a very delicious breakfast! Super recommended! Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, a captivating colonial-era mansion that transports you to a bygone era in Sri Lanka. The experience is a true feast for the senses, and the setting is a step back in time, with opulent carpets throughout, spacious rooms with canopy beds adorned with a multitude of cushions, and enormous bedrooms overlooking a picturesque garden. The bathrooms are equally grand, complete with a luxurious whirlpool bath. Even the chill of the evening is no concern, as the rooms are equipped with heating to keep you cozy.

The hotel staff is exceptionally polite, and the presence of ladies in aprons adds a charming touch of the past, enhancing the overall ambiance.

One evening, we dined in the hotel's restaurant, a quaint British-style dining room. The food was delicious, though it was slightly marred by the sight of stained tablecloths. This made me wonder when they had last been replaced, and I feel that an improvement in the overall cleanliness of the hotel, including the dining area, would enhance the dining experience.

However, the breakfasts were outstanding, and a delightful surprise was the provision of small slippers to be worn inside to protect the exquisite carpeting. It's a thoughtful touch that underscores the attention to detail.

In summary, this hotel, housed in a splendid colonial mansion, offers a journey back in time in the heart of Sri Lanka. The grand rooms, magnificent bathrooms, and meticulous attention to detail in room amenities are highlights of the stay. While the dining experience is top-notch, the issue of stained tablecloths could be addressed, and a more thorough approach to cleanliness is needed throughout the hotel. Nevertheless, it's a unique and memorable place that captures the essence of a bygone era.

The services from room to food is amazing. The customer service is surely one of the greatest services I have ever experience from a Hotel ever since I started travelling to Nuwara Eliya. The most important from all the services is the restaurant that have a variety of Food cuisines for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, the food give off a 5 star hotel meal. The prices of the rooms are really worthy and the rooms are very cleaned. When it comes to location, the beautiful garden behind the villa with the scenery of the mountains is a fascination point.

Awesome rooms, value for money. Good food but expensive. Clean room, very calm place and well maintained garden.

Good clean room. No swimming pool but jacuzzi available.prices bit high for additional meals, snacks and drinks. Better if you can buy them from outside.

We booked two nights at the triple room and we had a really fabulous time with all the luxuries. The place is quite close to the city but far away enough from the hassle of the city. The environment and the indoor reminds of colonial existence and luxury. The hospitality and the stay was very comfortable. We stayed most of time indoor as it was quite raining but the stay was really nice. The large jacuzzi and TV with posh internals made our day, kids loved that. One suggestion would be for the set breakfast. We felt the choice was too limited (at least for us being the local crowd). We expected a bit more variety and choice.

Very nice and clean villa. Spacious rooms with heater…huge bathroom including Jacuzzi! Terrace and pool table are available too. The staff are very friendly, especially Imtiyaz. He’s the Joker there. He will do everything. Despite the situation in Sri Lanka, they were able to surprise us with tasty breakfasts every morning!

It is all about expectations. Booking pictures do not match what you get. I can't say it is a terrible place to stay - service was okay (just don't ask for ice cubes and make sure to wash glasses, even though they say "disinfected"). Breakfast was okay, but it will be served in a room without windows. Noise cancelling doesn't exist.

Interior represents colonial furnishings elegantly, although from outside, the villa looks like a house.

Staff is super friendly, and we were lucky on the day we visited only our room was booked. Hence the service became very personalized.

You'll have to wear disposable shoes they provide inside of the villa and keep yours on the shoe rack near front office.

Exceed our expectations it was comfortable, clean and feeling like home
The stuff was very helpful and friendly

Great service, plenty of food, and a great host; Insar. Hope to visit soon and a definite recommendation!

We spent 02 nights here and loved our stay! The rooms are as lux as it looks in the photos. It has a great open are with swing chairs and overall it was very pleasant. Above all, the staff including the manager were extremely polite and kind. The only negatives I found were; 1) The food was mediocre. 2) The tub had a leak. I never used it and therefore, never called it out to the staff. Sorry for that.
But I would definitely recommend this to couples especially.

I went to so many 5 star hotels all around Sri Lanka. In this hotel i have a wonderful experience. So friendly staff service and beautiful place

Very cosy place for a family trip. Rooms are classy and comfortable. Every room has a bath tub. Beautiful garden. Lacks a good view. Very friendly staff. Mr. Insar was very supportive. Arun was really good with pool training. 4stars is due to overpriced dinner on the particular day where they ordered us food from outside.

Staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. They hooked us up with a tuktuk driver who showed us around. Their breakfast is sumptuous, often too much is served. Their room is of old cabin style. We enjoyed the jacuzzi baths after full day of going around town.

One of the best place to in in Nuwara Eliya. Peaceful and tranquil. All you hear in the morning are birds chirping, probably wants to mate (which you should also do with your wife). Staff are very accommodating and they served a quite large amount of food. The room and the facilities really served us very well. Thanks Lagrandevip1 for letting us stay.

Stayed for the night on an impulsive decision, but there was nothing to disappoint you in the villa. The hotel is in the middle of an area full of hotels, schools and residencies. It does have a small back garden to where our balcony opens up. Other than that that, there's no view. However, the rooms are comfy, bathroom spacious and the service is excellent. You don't get a big variety for food, but whatever offered is done with great care. Overall i liked my time in the villa very much.

La Grande Villa is where you want to be if you are staying in Nuwara Eliya city radius, the comfort, the cleanliness and specially the spa bath is what you want after a walk on the cold climate, also the hospitality from all staff and specially Mr Insar is remarkable. Thumbs Up for all, and belive me for the money you spend this is where you want to be.

Outstanding hotel with personalized service. The views of the garden were stunning. The staff were fabulous and made the first fee valued. The food was plentiful and tasteful. The suite was ultra comfortable with a fabulous jacuzzi in the bathroom. All
Needed personal items were supplied and the housekeeping did an excellent job. The location was perfect to walk to various attractions. I would stay where again.

Very close to nuwaraliya bus station, place is very neat and room was stunning, supportive staff and friendly manager.i will recommend this for couple
