Townside Lodge

Wonderful little house. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs and large bedroom upstairs. Well set up kitchen. Comfy living room. Excellent location, walking distance to town / post office. Hosts were great, very responsive.

Nothing. Loved it.

Easy access Parking available Whole property reserved for one group Clean Property owners are helpful and friendly.

Very good! Recommend it

We werden vriendelijk ontvangen en de plek was dichtbij het stadje

Wij hadden de pech dat het koud was, hard waaide en veel regende. Het huis is oké maar lekte op diverse plekken, de wind waait overal doorheen, geen verwarming of kachel ( het was 13 graden). De bedden hadden fleece dekens maar dan alleen katoenen onderlakens en geen frisse lakens onder de fleece dekens. Wij vonden het niet echt fris.

It was a well-kept property. The host was extremely attentive, answering all of our questions and making every effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

One morning, the electricity went out. There was nothing to blame on the host; there was simply a breakdown in the area; however, it would have been preferable if there had been a small generator just in case, as not having electricity while on vacation can be a major setback for a tourist.

This place is really nice and close to the city. The owner is very friendly. Everything was clean. The kitchen has all the equipments. Had an amazing stay.

great location, lovely selection of flowers with a nice garden. not far from centre town. the hosts where exceptional. #t bone

Nothing n/a

It is a very nice house, we had a really good night playing Carrom! The hosts are so nice and they brought us breakfast in the morning :)

Everything was great! The hosts were nice, the location was perfect, one of the best restaurants with amazing live music was in the walking distance. The days of our stay were rainy but the house was so big and it had boardgames, we really enjoyed that

If you're on the first floor, and somebody else is on the second floor, the footsteps are too loud

Lovely property, you hire the whole house. There is kitchen equipment provided if you want to cook. They have little touches too like games and extra blankets for the colder nights. We didn’t have a problem with the internet usage (it was strong signal). We did go over the allotted usage amount but it’s not expensive for more. The hosts are really helpful and friendly.

Nothing.

We were really surprised how well the host spoke English, so we could communicate flawlessly. He gave us some great recommendations of the locak tourist attractions and restaurants, but also provided us with two bicycles and a bike route so we could go explore. They also brought us tea the first evening and then even some really good sandwiches for breakfast next morning. The house itself was clean and the beds were really comfortable. There is even a carrom table, some cards (UNO) and a darts board outside, so there is plenty of entertainment. The kitchen is decently stocked with the basic necesities such as pots and pans, cutlery, plates and some other basic kitchen utensils and also a fridge and a microwave. The house is really spacious and could easilly accomodate larger groups.

The only slightly negative thing we could possibly find was the fact that when you walk on the second floor it is quite loud on the first floor. Just as a heads up rhere is no heating but for the night there is more than enough blankets to keep you warm so we weren't inconvinienced by it even in the slightest.

Getting to the property was easy. The property is well located and walking distance from the market and restaurants, yet in a quite and peaceful neighbourhood. We had the entire place to ourselves. The owner Dilshan was in touch with us all throughout, also helped us with a cab operator's number for local sightseeing. His mother sent us breakfast snacks each morning along with coffee, which was unexpected and very kind of them. It's a lovely place for a big group of friends to stay and chill- we really wished we had more time here.

The big room on the upper floor doesn't have an attached washroom, and one must go to the common washroom downstairs, which is slightly inconvenient at night times.

The place is very close to the center, very clean, we came as a family and the kids have a lot of space to play and enjoy, the place is very big, and we had a place to cook for the kids. The family is really nice and warm. It is very recommended, great value for its price.

The staff provided genuinely heartfelt service and Everything is perfect, The is full of beautiful flowers and well maintained gardens ,very comfortable room, which truly moved me. They prepared everything to align perfectly with my travel schedule and were always kind and attentive. It was a wonderfully special experience. 100%

upstairs No private bathroom in Night time using that’s the only thing otherwise perfect

Our stay at was truly exceptional for our family. From the moment we arrived, we knew we’d made the right choice. The house we stayed in was spacious and thoughtfully designed, making it easy for everyone to relax. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials The hotel’s location was also ideal for families. It was within walking distance of parks, museums, and family-friendly attractions. Overall, townside Lodge is a fantastic choice for a family stay.. we left with wonderful memories. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to other families!

The place is really awesome and one of a kind. The weather is chilly as hell but you can have the barbeque lit and warm yourself. The owners are really cool and friendly. We had a great time with them. I honestly recommend this place if you want to have the best of experience in Nuwara Eliya.

Nothing I can name

Breakfast was not included. Having Kitchen with all facilities. Neat and clean. Maintained well with flower garden outside property. Less than 1 Km distance from main city and walkable. Property owner is very well mannered and welcomed with Tea.

N/A

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Townside Lodge in Nuwara Eliya, and it was a fantastic experience! The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms and kitchen were spotless, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic stay. The location is perfect, being very near to the city, which made it convenient for us to explore all the local attractions. Plus, the weather was super cool, adding to the overall charm of our visit. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Nuwara Eliya!

There is none to be disliked. Just remove this part from this stay!

We appreciated our little house. Our host and his mother were very responsive and nice. The place was neat and tidy when we arrived. I appreciated the great gardened yard - so many flowers.

Noise was a problem when there were people upstairs. Otherwise no issues.

The hosts were exceptionally warm and friendly and accommodative. Responded to appeals promptly. Property was very clean, and the atmosphere pleasant for a holiday. The bedding and sofas were comfortable, and all necessities attended to. Privacy was ensured. Parking facility for a van was appreciated.

Wi fi wasn't working throughout the day, only at off peak times. As this was not a priority for us, it was OK.

We loved this stay. Accommodation is exactly what it looks like in the photos. It's fair to say that it's basic but this is exactly what we booked :) . Right in town down a lovely street that really made you feel you were staying local. The upstairs sleeping area was being worked on when we arrived and wasn't available to us. This cause zero issues for us. Loved the cooler temperatures in the town, no aircon is needed and the extra blankets are appreciated. The host was fantastic, brought us tea as well as some Sri Lankan snacks for us to try. Also the garden is quite lovely.

The lodge is really beautiful especially the garden. A lot of flowers. The lodge really close to the bus station and it’s easy to buy go to anywhere. And the lodge is really big, we have 7 person and can accept more 10 people. The host Dilhan and his mother are very friendly. But the hot water is a little bit problem, because the temperature is very low at night.

Water water

We enjoyed the opportunity to stay in a property that was so different than the other stays during our Sri Lanka trip. We enjoyed being surrounded by the beautiful plants in the garden, and sitting outside during mornings and evenings. We had everything we needed to cook in the kitchen (fridge, microwave, stove top, dishes), and lots of space for our family of five to relax. This spacious house had a large upstairs room with three double beds and a single. The stairs to the upstairs was outside, but we didn't get wet on rainy nights going up and down stairs. The downstairs had two bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a living room and a kitchen, so we could spread out and all be comfortable. We had plenty of pillows and blankets for a great night sleep. The hospitality shown by Dilhan and his mother was fantastic. Communication was excellent, and they spoiled us by giving us drinks, treats, and breakfast throughout the stay. Dilhan walked us to town on the first day so that we could see the shortcut that Google Maps didn't know about. We heard church bells and birds in the morning and enjoyed being in a quiet area of Nuwara Eliya.

Staying here is like staying in a cottage, meaning there will be some bugs and it is not as "polished" as a hotel. We didn't mind that, but some might. The openness of the roof led to some critters getting in, but Dilhan is taking care of that.

Very friendly host. Available if you need anything. The location is very good. Beautiful place. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side.

location, kindness of hosts, living room

The hosts are really nice and disposable The house has a lovely garden with great outdoor

We had an exceptional experience at the recent accommodation in Nuwara Eliya. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly, even arranging sweets for the kids during our stay and providing us with complimentary vegetables upon departure. The spaciousness of the place was impressive, especially the upper floor which comfortably accommodated eight people – perfect for larger families or groups of friends traveling together. The charming garden adorned with lovely flowers added to the overall beauty of the property. The convenience of the location allowed for easy exploration on foot, providing us with a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the scenic surroundings. Without a doubt, I look forward to returning to this delightful place in the future.

Nothing. Enjoyed every bit of our stay.

Next level customer service. Absolutely fantastic. Will come back during next Sri lankan visit. P:S - Thank you for free fresh vegies.

We stayed one night in family at the lovely Townside Lodge. We had been hosted by Dilhan and his family who are incredibly adorable : thanks again for everything (your kindness, the fresh fruits and the ride) The house was super tidy and clean, we enjoyed the terrace with the flowers and growing plants, the kitchen with everything needed, the beds super comfortable and the extra blankets because Nuwara Eliya might be cold at night.

Nothing we enjoyed everything

location and the hospitality

The hospitality was superb. Very friendly and caring owners. Calm and beautiful surroundings. The lodge was very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to the town. I would really like to recommend this place.

The bathroom door locks were kind of messy. I think because it's because of the extreme weather change.

location is very near to Nuwara Eliya town

little bit difficult to car parking
