The Wind Castle reviews
29 It looks like a Romantic fairy tail castle With full of flowers, bushes and birds. The wind surrounded by misty mountains and clouds will be take you a fairyland.
We visited wind castle recently with our family members. Excellent location and great view. Very Friendly staff. The property is situated on the way to Shanthipura, the highest village by altitude, in Sri Lanka.
We were overwhelmed to see this property. The rooms are good and spacious. People are very welcoming and helpful. We will recommend to stay there and enjoy the nature.
It's really a castle! Amazing place to stay in nuwaraeliya. Food prices are reasonable as well.
Very Friendly staff. We spends our 2nd Honeymoon Night. Very good prices. Cool atmosphere. Delicious foods. Recommend
Lovely and Friendly Location
Let me first of all thank the Manager Mr Theepan for being very helpful and supportive during our two night stay from 4th may to 6th May 2023, he did his utmost best to give us the best service of The Wind Castle. The location had a super surrounding and a beautiful garden just a 10min hike to the Shanthipura View Point which is around 1900 meters in height. ️
That's about the location and surrounding Let me also thank Sulocana the House Keeper for being very friendly and being very efficient in her service in keeping the rooms neat and tidy, Chef Jayaseelan is a wonder man we enjoyed his food without any complaints at all The Sri lankan Type Breakfast with Milk Rice Curries (Chicken, Potato and Dhal) with the lunumiris was awesome all this was done and enjoyed because of Ravichandran the Restaurant Steward he is very active and very punctual in his service.
Overall The Wind Castle is a lovely place to visit and the first time non of us was not disappointed IWS hats off to your management and Staff?
Overall, I had a great experience with the wind castle. Staff was incredibly helpful, and the food also were great. The room was wonderful, clean and perfect.
Affordable and beautiful place to stay here with friends or family. Hygiene and delicious food.
It’s a lovely, English-styled place with beautiful view of the valley. The room had good standard and the stuff was very friendly. We would book there again!
The location is so eye-catching and stunning since the place is located on top of the highest village in Sri Lanka. The rooms are neat and comfortable. Food is delicious and fresh. We enjoyed our whole stay! Recommended for anyone who loves glimpse of mountains and the howling of wind! Definitely the name has a point!
And special thanks to the entire staff for the warm welcoming and hospitality.
We stayed one night only and wished we could stay one or two more. Family room is very spacious, with high ceiling. Like a Castle. View is spectacular!
Great place can highly recommend to spending a great time there. Friendly staff and amenities like a hair dryer, towels, shower gel, shampoo and iron are provided.
The best place ever to relax right opposite 'Shanthipura', the highest village in Sri Lanka. And service was extremely high, spacially Mr. Teepan, the manager he is extraordinary whenever we want him he will be there for us.
Incredible staff service, delicious foods, comfortable bedding and loving room Decos made our day unforgettable.
Highly recommended for anyone & thanks for everything. We will be back for sure.
Our two-day stay at the Wind Castle was so wonderful. The whole staff was extremely attentive and did their best at making us comfortable. Our room, the royal rest, which is a family room…has an amazing Mountain View to die for. Highly recommend that room. Although it was cold, we woke up early morning to see the sunrise. The food made by the young chef was excellent! The young gentleman who took care of our room service is an asset to the place. They attended to our frequent coffee and snack orders very patiently. The in-house manager helped us in arranging a van for sightseeing since driving around seemed a little difficult. The elderly gentleman and the young lady who helped us in carrying our luggages are lovely as well. They are a great team!
I hope the management takes care of this excellent staff, the sincere individuals, who are trying their best to maintain the quality of the place. Keep up the great service!
I loved the stay here. The ‘wind castle’ is just located on top of a mountain.and it was really windy on the day of our stay
i should mention all the staff there were really friendly and the Chef Jayaseelan was a fantastic cook.the others are Upeka, Jayasena and Theepan who all made our stay pleasant.the view around the castle is really nice.
Friendly staff, best foods, clean rooms, perfect location, cool weather, peaceful place, close to main town, never get bored. Highly recommended for everyone
Wonderful place and so delicious food
Menus are great and matching perfectly.offered soup and appetites are superb. You would of course choose to come back again.
I Highly recommend for anyone
Mr. Duminda (Manager) and Staff (Sindu/deepan/sulochana) was so nice/kind and friendly/helped and offered always the best
Special thanks to Cheff for your delicious food
While searching a place due to the design of the building I felt to choose this hotel for 2 nights full board with my wife. To be honest it became the best selection to stay in Nuwaraeliya.
Also Shanthipura is at the highest village in ground level.
We really enjoyed both SriLankan and western menses, you must choose full board to taste all varieties.
Thanks again, we will be back?
Wind Castle was the last leg of our honeymoon tour. We left the best for last. It is 5 star all round
Food-
A young chef but very talented. Did an amazing 3 course dinner for us. Breakfast was always top notch. Tasty and nutiritous. Tasted like home made food.
Service-
Duminda the manager is a stunning gentleman. One of a kind. Has the best stories and is very friendly and helpful.
He made make our honeymoon 5 times better.
From arranging the best room, to delicious food (for our day trip) to an exquisite grilled chicken dinner. He planned everything so well.
He arranged transport. He did an amazing job.
The other staff were great too. Very courteous and helpful.
View/Rooms-
As mentioned we got the honeymoon suite. Goes without saying it was the highlight.
Additionally thr garden also overlooks a cliff that's splendid with afternoon tea.
Views were 5 stars.
Finally the road wind castle is on leads to the Shanthipura view point. 12min walk. You'll love it
Overall-
I can't think of anything that was not perfect. This was really a beautiful place. And we will visit again.
Since we emigrated, this was our first trip back as a whole family in 20 years. Our stay at the Wind Castle was the highlight of our trip! The staff (especially Dumindha) was amazing! Everyone was kind and attentive, and went out of their way for our wants and needs. The staff truly made our stay feel like a home away from home.
The rooms were clean, well maintained and beautiful, and the food was AMAZING, quite possibly the best food we had on our whole trip. (Definitely try the pol roti and red chicken curry!)
We can’t wait to be back.
Wonderful experience
Great Hospitality
Delicious Foods
Great staff like a own family
We went for our Honeymoon arrival was after midnight they serve us with an any hesitation had hot foods at the time
Hope to visit again
Best view in Nuwara Eliya. Its a unique architecture. Cozy and very clean rooms. Rooms fully capetted. Clean towels and bathroom. Staff is super friendly, very polite and attentive. Their hospitality is next level. Owner is very humble and talks to guests and check their needs and even very nice of him to give us some food packed to have on the way as we were planning a long drive. Easy access to hotel, carpeted road. Superb Sri lankan breakfast, really tasty. They have more room categories as well. Overall worth for what you pay. Again best view in the town.
