L accueil Le propriétaire est venu nous chercher à la gare , nous a ramené , il a été d une grande aide . Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux Lits confortable Eau chaude
اعجبني تعامل Asela معي فقد كان شخص ودود حقا و انسان مثقف و الحوار معه ممتع، المكان مليئ بالسكينة و تشعر و كانك في منزلك، المكان نظيف حقا و تاريخي انصح بالذهاب اليه، و ايضا الفطور كان لذيذ. و بالقرب من كل شي
Fatevi raccontare la storia della casa e del villaggio. Famiglia gentilissima. Ottima colazione. Si dorme in un pezzo di storia
Moquette sulla stanza e materassi un po’ vecchi
The family and their friendly dogs. The family were lovely and made us a fantastic breakfast. The location is pretty good in terms of it being walkable to restaurants and a supermarket.
The property is very dated, aspects of this are in keeping with its colonial charm but the bathrooms are in dire need of refurbishment. Unfortunately there is also extensive mould and damp in the bedroom we stayed in, on the walls and ceiling. There is a strong smell of damp in the room and I couldn’t sleep at all.
The owner was so friendly and helpful and gave us lots of interesting information on the history of the area. The breakfast was delicious, especially the fresh fruit juice. The rooms were comfortable and clean.
The showers could have been slightly stronger.
La comodidad de las camas.
La limpieza y la antigüedad del baño. Nos encontramos basura debajo de las camas y en general se percibía falta de limpieza. El baño necesita una reforma.
Een prachtig koloniaal huis. Grote kamers met mooie meubels. De badkamer was minder mooi dan de slaapkamer, maar voldeed. Een uitgebreid en heel lekker ontbijt. Een van de beste van de hele reis! Vanuit het huis kan je de mooie wandeling naar Single tree top hill doen.
Je had een familiaal gevoel in dit kleinschalige verblijf. Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst door de eigenaar. Goed ontbijt. Verwacht geen luxe, maar de kamers zijn wel prima in orde.
De ramen en hoekjes in de badkamer kunnen wel wat properder!
早餐很美味,房东人很好,非常友好
房间有点味道,需要改善
La casa muy antigua, peculiar, para pasar una noche bien
Estuvimos un grupo de amigos, la casa era solo para nosotros, le propusimos al dueño que dejase dormir a nuestro guía, pagándole una habitación más, pues era tarde y con mucha lluvia, y no le dejó, el pobre tuvo que dormir en la furgo.
Great breakfast :-).
Completely different from anywhere else we stayed in Sri Lanka.
Es una casa antigua con mucho encanto. El personal muy agradable y un desayuno típico muy rico. Las camadas cómodas y habitación espaciosa
Los enchufes funcionaban un poco regular y la luz del baño estaba fundida.
If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Nuwara Eliya, look no further. This was one of the most memorable stays of our entire trip! From the moment we arrived, the wonderful hosts welcomed us with genuine warmth and made us feel like family. Their kindness, generosity, and attention to every little detail made our stay truly unforgettable. The stunning colonial house is full of history and charm—it feels like walking into another era. The rooms are cozy, beautifully maintained, and the huge beds are incredibly comfortable, ensuring a perfect night's sleep. Breakfast was simply amazing: a generous spread of homemade dishes prepared with love, fresh tropical fruits, and delicious freshly squeezed juices. Every meal reflected the care and hospitality of the hosts. This is much more than a place to sleep—it's an experience you'll remember long after your trip. We can't recommend it highly enough and would return in a heartbeat!
All.was good
Hotel con colazione ottima e personale gentile e accogliente.
La struttura avrebbe bisogno di un' imbiancata e la moquette di essere smacchiata.Il bagno andrebbe reso più funzionale.
The host family went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was absolutely fabulous. The portions were so generous that we couldn’t even finish everything! Whenever we requested tea, the hosts happily prepared it for us. As an extra gesture of kindness, they even dropped us off at the railway station, despite it not being included in the booking. The location was also excellent. Pizza Hut, Domino’s, and several other restaurants were just steps away from the property, while a supermarket was only a 1–2 minute walk away, making it very convenient for anything we needed. Without a doubt, these were some of the best hosts we have ever had. We loved every moment of our stay and would gladly choose to stay here again if we return to Nuwara Eliya. Highly recommended!
There was a noticeable incense aroma in the property upon arrival, which might feel a little strong at first for some guests, but we got used to it very quickly and it wasn’t an issue during the rest of our stay.
We had a lovely stay at Shirin1892 in Nuwara Eliya. The house has a wonderful old charm dating back to 1892 and although the rooms are old, they were clean and comfortable. Our host Asela was incredibly kind and welcoming and we really enjoyed the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast served every morning!
民宿裡外都很漂亮,佈置典雅溫馨,古色古香,適合體驗英國殖民時代風情。主人非常親切友善,英語流利,還幫我們安排去霍頓平原的司機,設想極為周到。早餐是現做的超級棒,好吃又豐盛!房間很大,而且有棉被!非常舒適溫暖。
民宿入口道路是陡碎石坡而且很狹窄,要小心駕駛。住了兩晚,兩天都有遇到停電的情況。浴室水量極為細小,洗澡很困難。房間隔音不好。其它沒什麼缺點。
Les propriétaires sont d'une grande gentillesse et sont très avenants. Une étape hors du temps dans cette ancienne maison coloniale. Les lits sont confortables. Le petit déjeuner excellent et copieux !
Famille chaleureuse et chambre spacieuse. Bien placée. C’est très agréable d’y séjourner. Je recommande ! Top Nous avons passé un excellent séjour Hormis la douche qui n’avait pas de pression.
La pression de la douche
Sehr Freundliches, bemühtes Personal. Gutes singhalesisches Frühstück.
Die Wände sind hellhörig. Laute Gespräche bis tief in die Nacht. Bad dringend renovierungsbedürftig.
Host was brilliant, really friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. The breakfast was great.
The bathrooms are areas which probably need some maintenance and thorough improvements/repairs.
Stay was comfortable It's a heritage bunglow with fantastic aesthetic. The owner was extremely well behaved and accommodative. The breakfast was good. We took a family room. It was extremely large for us. Great view from the premises. Walking distance from Gregory lake. Overall great experience.
The bathroom could be little better. The bathtub does not work. One electric kettle inside the room could've been better. Nothing to complain.
Beautiful house, super specious. Big room and amazing owner who just made me feel at home.
Was cold at night so just make sure to take another blanket cos no ac
Замечательное место, красивый дом с историей. Чистейшие белые простыни, подушки, одеяло - все новое, плотное. Не замёрзли ночью под одеялом. Все очень понравилось
j'ai beaucoup aimé ce voyage dans le temps, j'étais comme une invitée dans le cottage. Le charme de l'ancien fait que les commodités sont aussi d'époque mais pour moi, c'est le charme justement. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux, gargantuesque.

On a aimé le jardin et le calme de la maison. Les hôtes sont très gentils. Le petit déjeuner est très bon. La situation géographique est très bien.
C'est très vieillot. Les chambres sont grandes mais très vieillottes. Les chambres sont un peu sombres. Un matin le petit déjeuner a été servi dans la cuisine sombre alors qu'il faisait très beau. On a trouvé ça un peu dommage.

Das Frühstück und das freundliche Personal. Bett war bequem. Half einem bei Tourenbuchungen und den Weitertransport. Wäscheservice war sauber, schnell und günstig.
Das Zimmer hatte einen extrem schmutzigen und fleckigen Teppichboden, den man ohne Schuhe nicht betreten möchte. Das Bad fiel in sich fast schon zusammen. Das Waschbecken drohte jeden Moment aus der Wand zu brechen. Die Wandhalterungen waren fast alle abgebrochen oder fielen aus der Wand. Der Wasserstrahl in der Dusche ist sehr schwach. Man könnte zwischen den einzelnen Tropfen problemlos hin und her springen. In der Badewanner war die Emailleschicht komplett ab. Der Boden war fast schwarz. Sehr hellhöriges Haus. Allgemein, das Inventar gehört komplett renoviert. Die Fotos im Internet sind sehr beschönigt!
This was an absolutely brilliant stay. The house is in a very quiet location. The room we had was huge, spacious and very comfortable. The host was very friendly, and made us a great breakfast to take away when we left early in the morning. We wanted to go out for dinner and it was raining, and the host very kindly insisted to take us to a restaurant and get us back to the property in his van.
You need to pass through a bit of a dirt road to get to the place. However, completely worth it when you get there :)
Bonne surprise la chambre de 4 qui était une petite suite avec 2 chambres séparées. Très spacieux. Le personnel a été au petit soin, comme nous partions très tôt pour la gare on nous a proposé un petit dej a emporté qui était très copieux et très bon.
Je ne sais pas si c'est une malchance mais il y a eu malheureusement une grosse fête avec musique à fond jusqu'à 1h00 du matin et elle a repris avec la même intensité à 6h00 du matin...
Amazing host.
Nothing.
Very friendly host who went out of his way to make us comfortable, even giving us a lift to a local hotel for afternoon tea. The house and its history was interesting and our room and the bathroom were very clean and spacious. The breakfast was huge and tasty and they even made me gluten free alternatives which was much appreciated!
All good
זהו מקום עם אופי, סיפור מיוחד והרבה קסם! המארחים שלנו היו מסבירי פנים ומקסימים. החדרים נקיים ומסודרים, ארוחת הבוקר טעימה ומגוונת. אהבנו מאוד!
Large rooms. Very friendly host. Excellent breakfast. Great value for money. Awareness: Not luxurious, but spacious and clean. Good hot water in bath, but wash basin was freezing cold water. An area looking like bath tub, but was narrow, so had to bathe outside it. The approach road to main road, is a bit raw and it's dark at night, not safe to walk. If you have own vehicle, great, else host is very kind to offer a drop and pickup to restaurant for dinner. Host Mr Asela also offers free pickup from bus/rail Overall, with slight adjustments, perfect homestay. I would rate 9/10

Das Haus wirkt wie aus der Zeit gefallen. Die Einrichtung ist noch orginalgetreu, man fühlt sich wie im viktorianischen Zeitalter. Zudem ist der Besitzer sehr zuvorkommend und hat uns sogar zum bahnhof gebracht
Auch wenn viele die Bäder als kleinen Kritikpunkt erachten- so ist es doch eine Besonderheit dass die Bäder im Orginalzustand überdauert haben!
Everything was absolutely perfect! The room was clean, cozy, and well prepared. The entire place was spotless and matched the description. The host was very kind, helpful, and always available if needed. I would gladly come back and can only recommend this place
The owner of the guest house picked and dropped us from nanu oya train station. And everything was very nice. He arranged transport for us for Horton's plains as well and packed our breakfast at 5:30am. The view from the room of fields was nice in the morning too.
Some areas on the walls were paint coming off. And pressure in the shower was very low. Nothing too much but just a suggestion to improve that. Still 10/10 on everything else.
Estuvimos poco tiempo en nuwara eliya pero shirin1892 es super recomendable. La habitacion era muy espaciosa y el desayuno muy bueno. El propietario es super amable y nos acompaño a la estacion con su coche

Ein charmantes Gästehaus mit kolonialem Flair. Der Gastgeber hat uns sogar kostenlos vom Bahnhof abgeholt, was sehr praktisch war. Das sri Frühstück war frisch und lecker. Die Umgebung mit See und Park ist klein, aber sehr idyllisch. Hier fühlt man sich ein bisschen in die Kolonialzeit zurückversetzt. Sehr empfehlenswert für einen besonderen Aufenthalt.
I really wanted a quiet getaway to both work and relax, and Shirin 1892 exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was quite delicious, nutritious, and thoughtfully prepared. The owner, Mr. Asela Ariyarathne was attentive to every detail, and the rest of the staff were a delight, too. Shirin 1892 is one of the safest spaces for a stay over for especially a solo traveller and the same applies to those who travel in groups. Highly recommended without any reservation.
The best breakfast in Sri Lanka!
La habitación amplia y caliente porque hace frío en la ciudad. Las zonas comunes muy coloniales y agradables. El baño mejorable. El desayuno muy bueno. El propietario muy amables.
El baño. Y cuidado con la unicación porque está el hotel detrás de la calle principal y cuesta de encontrar. Llamamos y salió el propietario a buscarnos. Debes de pagar en efectivo!
The charm of this lovely and well-preserved colonial house and its host.
Maybe the shower could be improved.
Wszystko w porządku. Zgodnie z opisem. Personel a właściwie sam właściciel to naprawdę miły i porządny człowiek. Śniadanie bez uwag. To nie jest luksusowy hotel a zabytkowy budynek który ma swoje lata ale urok.
-Ubicación. -Trato excelente. -Desayuno muy bueno.
Proprietario eccezionale, disponibile in tutto. Ci ha accompagnato in macchina in un ristorante che ci ha consigliato in centro ed era disposto anche a venirci a prendere
La stanza era molto umida e fredda, con macchie di umidità., non è stata confortevole. Il bagno aveva spifferi di aria, perché c’era una semplice porta comunicante con l’area esterna. La casa ha bisogno di una ristrutturazione
Ruime kamers met goede bedden. Goede locatie en erg vriendelijke gastheer.
De badkamer was gedateerd.
Formidable lieu et excellent petit déjeuner , varié, diversifié et copieux . Les hôtes sont très sympathiques !
La habitación era muy bonita, amplia y espaciosa. Estuvimos en una habitación doble que se cominicaba porque éramos 4. Es una casa colonial con poquitas habitaciones y son encantadores. El desayuno delicioso. Muy buena relación calidad precio.
La ducha era antigua y difícil de regular
Ancienne maison coloniale Anglaise, très propre et accueil chaleureux. Petit déjeuner bon.
Certains equipements comme la baignoire mériteraient d'être refaits ou améliorés. La vue sur des maisons de tôles.
Мы в восторге от этого места 👏👏👏 Домик с глубокой историей, владелец этого дома очень отзывчивый и приветливый Очень рекомендую остановится в этом месте ! Несмотря на то, что в нувара Элии очень холодно, обязательно берите пижамы, нам предоставили несколько одеял и было можно спать 🤭
The nicest owner you can think of. Helped us a lot by picking up from the train station and high tea etc, and arranging a tour. Always up for a nice conversation. The house is beautiful and brings you back to the old days with a lot of charm Located 2 mins walk from a decent supermarket, 10mins walk from the disappointing lake and 5 mins ride from the centre.
The house is old and the owner is obliged not to change much. So yes the bathroom is a little outdated and the house isn't overly warm in the rainy days. But you just can't expect 100% modern facilities, certainly not at this price point
La famiglia che gestisce questa casa si tipico stile angosassone/coloniale è assolutamente deliziosa, la colazione è buonissima e abbondante, la casa è pulita anche se forse un po' vecchiotta, ma assolutamente meritevole di una visita, fare solo attenzione che non piova tutto il tempo quando passare a Nuwara Elyia! :)
The owner of the property is extremely cordial and cooperative person. I really admire him. In fact, he assisted us a lot to make our one day visit in Nuwara Eliya successful. One more thing, the breakfast was really fantastic with delicious egg hopper and fresh fruit juice. However, the facilities in washroom may be improved.
The breakfast was elaborate and filling. The location was beautiful and so was the house. The owner was very helpful and helped us get to and from the train station. The water was warm ! The room is big and well furnished
We stayed here for two nights in old English house. The breakfast was amazing, beds were comfortable. Great owners. They prepared wonderful package breakfast for early morning departure to Horton Plains. We also appreciated blankets, during nights was cold. The rooms are big for all family.
The road to hotel would be repaired. Our driver hates this unpaved roads.
De eigenaar is zeer behulpzaam en haalt en brengt je graag naar het treinstation en city-center. Bedden heel fijn en keurig beddengoed.
Sanitair is verouderd. Eigenaar geeft aan dat spoedig te gaan vernieuwen.
The location is good and accommodation is British style. The host is very friendly and approachable. Will definitely recommended.
Exceptional staff and host. Breakfast was also very good. The property was neat and clean. My family and I had a great time.
Nothing as such. More lighting and electrical sockets in the room would have been better.
Wir waren rund um sehr zufrieden. Als wir ganz zeitig am Morgen in den Nationalpark wollten, wurden uns ganz liebevolle Lunchpakete zubereite und uns extra früh Tee gekocht. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur jeden empfehlen. Immer wieder.
We loved the host, super friendly, personable and helpful! The location is ideal, we could walk to Gregory Lake as well as see the golf course/cricket fields. He gave us a great room and the breakfast was our favorite in Sri Lanka and included hoppers!
Nothing! We loved it!
Замечательное место с прекрасным, атмосферным домой. Комнаты большие с высокими потолками. Хозяин очень заботливый, забрал с вокзала и посадил на автобус бесплатно. Завтрак вкусный. Супермаркет и магазин рядом.
Excellent Staff. He is a professional and well mannered. He cares about his customers.
N.A
Wurden von Gastgeber am Bahnhof abgeholt. Super lieber Gastgeber, sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Leckeres und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Riesen Zimmer. Guter Startpunkt für Wanderungen
Leider nicht so sauber gewesen…ist aber auch ein riesiges altes Haus. Kein Wasserdruck - duschen war schwierig.
El dueño de la casa es un hombre encantador, amable y muy pendiente de que estuvieramos bien en todo momento. Nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitamos y nos explicaba muchas cosas sobre el lugar y Srilanka. Un 10.
Homestay is located near to the main road and tourist attractions. The host was great and provided good breakfast even though we started early at around 5.30 am in the morning to hortons national park. The inside of the house take us a few decades back preserving the heritage of Britishers.
The path to the homestay was a bit lonely without lights in the night.
房东非常热情,免费接送火车站。并带我们去了茶厂、小镇、粉红邮局和一家五星印度餐厅,口味独特,改变对咖喱的感受。饭后房东还接我们,有了房东的接送,感觉行动方便。房东还帮我们找了去霍顿的车,由于天气变化,霍顿平原路阻,没有成行。虽然天有不测风云,但房东的热情弥补了遗憾。这个小民宿像一个小型遗产酒店,典型的英伦风,让你找到年代感。
个别地方需要稍加考虑
Excellent hosting by Asela from pickup/ drop, arranging tour packages and going out of the way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Close to supermarket and a local restaurant. House is well maintained with an authentic feel. Breakfast is good.
I’ve visited Nuwara Eliya many times in my life, but I’ve never truly connected with the place until now. It changed during my most recent trip, and I now realize that where you stay can make all the difference. This time, we stayed at Shirin 1892, and it completely transformed my experience. I can honestly say I enjoyed Nuwara Eliya more than ever before and Shirin 1892 was a big reason why. The property felt like a dreamy, cozy home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were beautifully done, comfortable, and clean. What stood out to me the most was how well-maintained the bathrooms were something I always look for in a good stay. Interestingly, it wasn’t too cold outside, but inside the property, it was pleasantly chilly adding to that perfect "hill station" charm, which I absolutely loved. We had booked all three rooms, so we enjoyed complete freedom and privacy as a family. The calm, peaceful vibe of the place was simply unmatched. The surrounding views were breathtaking, and the garden was lovely ideal for a quiet stroll or a cup of tea in the morning. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Mr. Asela for his warm hospitality and for maintaining such a special property. A special shoutout to his wonderful wife, who welcomed us on day one with the warmest smile and carried that same kindness throughout our stay. She made us tea whenever we asked and prepared a delightful breakfast each morning simple gestures that meant so much. I’m also deeply grateful to Anura Uncle, who picked us up from Nanuoya railway station and kindly drove us to several places the next day, making our trip even more convenient and enjoyable. While some might see Shirin 1892 as an older property, I truly believe that’s part of its charm. In a world filled with flashy, newly built places, this one stands out with its cozy, antique feel because as they say, old is gold. We stayed from the 8th May to the 10th May, and it was a stay I’ll always remember.
Nothing!Everything was perfect🙌🏻
customer service was good
the location. my driver couldn't get into the hotel parking lot
The rooms were nice. The breakfast was decent and the owner was very cooperative. The location is in close proximity to restaurants like pizza hut and dominos as well as a super shop named keels.
The lodge is situated a bit close to 100 meters downward a slope from the main road. The owner has a dog that roams around the property has a tendency to attack if gotten close to. One of our members got bitten by the dog because she got a bit close to the dog for capturing a photo.
Un super accueil, l’endroit est assez sympa et c’est vraiment la maison coloniale. Il faut venir quand il ne pleut pas. Le petit déjeuner est bon.
Le sol est en moquette, il avait plu la veille et l’eau a du rentrer dans la maison car elle était encore mouillée devant le lit, ce qui donne une odeur pertinente de moisi.
L'atmosfera della casa, ma soprattutto il proprietario che ci ha accolto con estrema cortesia. Ci ha permesso di cenare col nostro driver nel bellissimo soggiorno, con tanto di cammino acceso. La colazione è ottima, le camere e tutta la casa pulite. Non ultimo un bel giardino.
オーナーの優しさ、ホスピタリティ最高でした。私1人のために街まで送ってくれたり、近くのsingle tree hillsを一緒に登って案内してくれたり、こんなにゲスト想いのオーナーは生まれて初めてです。
