The Trevene Hotel

Kleinschalig, persoonlijk, erg goede warme ontvangst en behulpzaam, echt heel klantgericht en -vriendelijk. Het is een prachtig koloniaal pand, waar je je even thuis kan voelen. De host Shakeeb zorgt voor een prettige ervaring en staat voor je klaar voor al je vragen. Prettige ‘woonkamer’ waar het haardvuur werd aangestoken na een regenachtige middag.

Sommige delen bv de badkamer kan een beetje ouderwets of basic overkomen, maar ik vind dat hier juist zijn charme hebben. Het is wel schoon, waterdruk goed en warm water.

Casa colonial inglesa, con su encanto. Muy amplia, y con una chimenea que se ofrecen a encender ya que por las noches refresca. Desayuno muy abundante, no te lo acabas. Si te vas muy pronto te preparan un piknic para llevar, cosa que se agradece. Personal muy atento, siempre a disposicion. Puedes ir a pie al centro en unos 10 min.

El camino es cuesta arriba y con poca luz aunque no es lejos del centro.

Casa coloniale molto particolare

Umida, fredda e sporca

Nothing

The property looks neglected .we left the property a day before because it was much below our expectations and the breakfast served was below average.

Everything was perfect.we stayed. 2 night and rooms are spacious.Staff is very friendly and they provided everything we requested during our stay.Wonderful view..delicious breakfast and that was super.Thanks

Struttura in posizione comoda. Staff gentilissimo ed ottima colazione a buffet

Très bon séjour au Trevene Hotel. Très bon accueil. Chambre très propre, spacieuse, lit confortable. Salle de bain au top. Nous avons également profité d’un petit salon attenant à notre chambre et notre hôte nous a allumé un feu de cheminée! Un hôtel plein de charme, très british. Très bien placé pour les visites.

Nothing .....

Le Trevene hotel a un charme fou. Dans son jus, avec des rideaux a fleurs, des doubles édredons, des cheminées dans beaucoup de chambres. Le personnel est hyper sympa. L'hôtel est très bien placé. Et certaines chambres ont même un salon attenant quasiment privé. Mention spéciale a la chambre triple qui est en fait constituée de deux chambres doubles en enfilade et une salle de bains au bout. Bref deuxième séjour pour nous et franchement nous recommandons pour qui recherche de l'authenticité, du charme et du calme.

The location was very convenient and within the city limits and have access to many attractions within the NuwaraEliya City. The rooms were natly presented, as the Propoerty is an Old colonial era propoerty, it looked ancient and kept it's vital components in tact to look as such. We asked for a local falvoured Break-fast which was an absolute treat.

There is nothing specific to mention. The breakfast venue could be arranged in a more traditional environment to match the Properties' ancient look.

Cerca del centro ,lugar tranquilo La habitación que nos tocó está muy bien conservada ,muy limpia La cama comodisima con mantas y edredones más que suficientes,no pasamos nada de frío en la habitación La ducha con mampara cosa que se agradece para no poner todo lleno de agua ,te dan champú,jabón y crema corporal El desayuno,que se sirve en el edificio de al lado ,es tipo Buffet y está todo buenísimo ,te ofrecen si quieres que te hagan huevos revueltos ,fritos ….a parte de lo que hay en el Buffet Nos guardaron las mochilas sin ningún problema El chico que atiende es muy amable y te ayuda con todo lo que necesites

Honestly the location is very difficult to spot on. The property is good , and the staff is also helpful. They have kept breakfast ready as per our requested time.

Location, no heaters in room since it’s cold in Nuwara Eliya. The internet is very bad

The staff is absolutely amazing And the breakfast is very nice

The bed is very humid, but the whole mountain has the same problem

Location was good and staff were very good and overworked. Sydney was most helpful. Breakfast was excellent.

The first room I was given was right next to the stairs and opposite the billiard room. So noisy . I asked for a quiet room. It was Sri Lankan New Year so a lot of locals travelling and I was a solo traveller. I was moved to a room in the corner downstairs that was quiet, however it smelt mouldy. I wouldn't stay here again.

All are good

*friendly & helpful staff *strong hot shower *room is big and clean *upgraded room

*about 10mnt walk to town, post office, the grand hotel, etc *simple american style breakfast, but get full. *transport arrangements higher than others

Endroit très reposant et personnel très accueillant. Je recommande cet hôtel.

Shakeeb, the all around one man receptionist made our stay so much better! He was able to help me with my request and any information I needed.

However, the property itself needs an update, the standard room was ok for the price however the hotel facilities and interior including the garden needs improvement.

Distinctive 'historic looking' building, room was OK, near Victoria Park. Staff overall were OK.

Bit of a steep walk up from the road (my girlfriend had hurt her foot, otherwise wouldn't have been an issue). Building needs a bit of care. View from our room window was just of rubble (rooms at the front probably had a good view). Breakfast was in the next door hotel, but the breakfast was OK.

Beautiful fireplace that was lit up after dinner. The rooms were decorated with period furnishings adding a lovely touch to the overall ambience.

Small inconvenience in regards to access road to the hotel. Not suitable for elderly parents

Die Tour in den Horton Plain NP, über das Hotel gebucht, war super!

Le calme, le style anglais désuet, l’amabilité du personnel. Surtout le petit feu de cheminée le soir dans la chambre. Petit déjeuner copieux.

Rien

Petit hôtel plein de charme dans une jolie petite maison de style victorien. C'est super mignon. La chambre est nickel et l'accueil excellent. La gare routière et le centre-ville sont tout proches, à 10 minutes à pied.

Le jardin et le cadre pâtissent terriblement de la construction du nouvel établissement du même propriétaire (le Green View Hotel). De plus, un autre immeuble est actuellement en construction juste derrière le Trevene et c'est très dommage. Le petit-déjeuner est servi dans les locaux du Green View Hotel et c'est dommage. J'aurais nettement préféré déjeuner dans les salons coquets du Trevene.

Bella struttura stile coloniale ed ottima colazione self service

The young guy at the reception super pro The place looked nice an authentic

The staff were very friendly and kind. They were also flexible as we swapped days at very short notice. The hotel is charming - a colonial era bungalow. The front rooms are enormous and come with an adjoining sitting area. The building has not been modernised so won't suit everybody. Location is good.

Sadly a huge concrete building is going up immediately behind the bungalow which will ruin the setting.

Cozy fireplace and super nice staff, and super close location to the city.

Cozy room. Good arrangement for Horton Plains. The driver Selvam gives good tour advices.

The location is really good - next to the park, which is the best thing to see in Nuwara Eliya, and about 10 minutes walk from the center. The room is spacious and well-furnished. The breakfast on the first day was below average (everything was cold, including the omelet), but on the second day it was excellent. No idea why it was so different, as we ate at exactly the same time on both days. The young man who works as the manager was excellent - very polite, professional and helpful.

The room was very dark. There is a window, but behind it, about 1 meter away, is a wall of another house. So even in daytime, the room felt like a basement. This is something I couldn't see from the photos, and it made me very uncomfortable. Considering the price of the room, I think the situation should be described here on the website. Furthermore, the room was cold, and if you want a heater you need to pay extra. However, they did light a fireplace for us in the evening, which helped, but they only do it after 8 pm.

Super acceuil, réceptionniste au top malgré notre heure d'arrivée tardive Lit très confortable et couettes bien chaudes Bon petit dej copieux Emplacement plutôt bon

Un peu rustique

La cama cómoda. El chico que se ocupaba de la recepción fue muy agradable y con ganas de ayudar.

Hacía mucho frío y la habitación estaba helada y muy húmeda. No tenía calefactor. La casa tenía dos chimeneas llenas de leña, pero no las quisieron encender. Nos dejaron un calefactor muy pequeño que no hizo nada. En el restaurante lo mismo, una chimenea enorme que tampoco quisieron encender; comimos heladas. Todo muy antiguo, la casa, las instalaciones, el baño muy viejo y cutre. La wifi no funcionaba. La habitación muy oscura solo tenía una ventana que daba a una especie de vertedero.

英伦风格的套间，晚上天冷，服务员还贴心的点了壁炉，氛围感十足，虽然床垫有点软，不过可能点了壁炉暖暖的，晚上睡得很好。

Hotel is a colonial style, very beautiful building. Breakfast was the best we had in Sri lanka. Staff was very helpful. Gave us tips for the city, we also booked a tour to the tea factory with them. Walking distance to the city center. Overall wonderful stay. Do not skip Nuwara eliya and this hotel.

Romantische Engelse kamer. De host was enorm aardig en bood aan indien nodig het haardvuur aan te maken als het te kil werd. Het ontbijtbuffet was prima. Heerlijk warm water.

De tweede slaapkamer was wat soberder en rook wat vochtig. De badkamer rook vrij vochtig. Het ontbijt was in het pand ernaast dat totaal anders was ingericht met neonlicht.

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Gute Pizza im Restaurant (zugehöriges Restaurant nebenan). Jeden Abend haben wir den Kamin angehabt. Man fühlt sich wie im einer anderen Welt. Der Ort ist fussläufig gut zu erreichen.

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber mit Charme

Es una antigua casa reformada. Las habitaciones son preciosas y no les falta detalle. Todo muy limpio

No heating, or you pay 3000 sr rupees extra for a portable heater... so we froze in a 16-degree bedroom. TV didn't work. The shower was either too hot or too cold. Wall plugs were broken. Wifi coverage was non-existent despite the extender being close by. Bleak bedroom with old-fashioned furniture. Not cosy at all like the rest of the hotel.

We really enjoyed our staying here. Unique experience and amazing manager at the hotel!

Breakfast ok Location very comfortable

Face some difficulties with hot water problems. No shower cubicles Not working TV

A taste of colonial grandeur at a good price. A very clean and comfortable room and really helpful staff.

The mainly European menu in the restaurant may be to your taste but personally I would have liked more Sri Lankan options.

Breakfast was good.

There were problems with plumbing. Hot water was not working in the beginning. The staff had to fix it. Pipes in the bathroom were leaking and there was constantly water on the floor.

Old colonial charm. Quite quirky. Unusual fixtures and fittings. Oozed history.

Bathroom/shower room was rather basic. Not the cleanest. Some mould, but perhaps not surprising in an old colonial hotel.

We’ve been upgraded from the Treverne to the Panoramic view hotel, without increasing price. So the room was really nice, with fridge, a special view from the balcony, king size bed, amazing breakfast.

Breakfast was good, location was great, colonial period building so great for old English lovers, as period features

We really appreciated the warm hospitality

There is nothing to complain

Old colonial style hotel. Reminded me of British B&B in the 70's The location is excellent.

Unfortunately they are building a new big hotel at the back of the Trevene which spoils the overall ambience of this small hotel.

Shakim, who was managing the Trevene part of the hotel, was a very kind and helpful man. The breakfast was good, eaten in the Panorama next door.

This hotel is desperately in need of refurbishment. All the money has been spent on the hotel next door and another new block in front. It is such a shame as it could be a good heritage hotel. There is no heating, although Shakim lit the fire for us in the evenings.

The staff was very helpful

A very enjoyable stay in this old colonial bungalow. Excellent quiet location just on the edge of town. Extremely comfortable large bed and whilst we didn't think we would need the duvet and blanket, we did!! It's definitely a lot cooler here. Buffet breakfast served in the hotel right next door, and a kettle in your room, which was a nice touch. But the very best thing here was the excellent and friendly staff.

The shower could do with an update, including better plumbing for the hot water, which was unreliable.

Location, close to town. Good breakfast buffet.

We had a warm welcome and the staff were very helpful and responsive. The room was spacious but rather old fashioned. It is a colonial bungalow with character. It was a 15 min walk to town and to a nice restaurant. The breakfast was buffet style and ok.

The room was dirty and needs updating. The restaurant in the hotel next door was very bland with a limited evening menu and no atmosphere. We heard rats in the roof during the night. The room was a bit dark with a range of plug sockets, all different and only a couple usable for us.

Lovely old style building. Comfortable room, double quilt for comfort, friendly & co-operative staff, reasonable rates.

Restaurant has a very limited menu. Needs to add some Sri Lankan items like rice curry or lumprice to the menu. Eating sandwiches, burgers & fried rice can get boring.

We really enjoyed our stay here even though the weather was rubbish. The house is such a quirky throwback to another era, it was like stepping back in time and visiting a boarding house/ B and B. Great value for money. We would recommend staying here. - Staff were incredibly helpful and informative which made the stay so enjoyable. Shakeeb was particularly helpful. - Bedrooms were so spacious with a fireplace (that was lit at night for us). - Buffet breakfast was at the bigger hotel next door and was delicious - Shower was hot and had great pressure. - The place is old and so a little run-down but somehow just contributed to the charm. - Wifi was great - Walking distance to many of the main parts of Nuwara Eliya including the gardens and the main town.

Cosy, homely stay. Even lit the fire for us. Felt like I was in a family home. Warm bed, hot shower & good choice of buffet breakfast! Attendant was so helpful.

The hotel has lots of character and charm. The public spaces are cozy and welcoming. The bed was very comfortable and our room was spacious. The garden area out front was a great place to relax and enjoy hearing the wind in the trees. The young man who worked at reception was conscientious and friendly. He patiently answered all our questions about the area and took time to visit with us. He made our stay extra special.

The shower curtain needs to be replaced and the hot water was a bit tricky.

It was great to be staying in an old plantation house. Very old world. Loved it and enjoyed sitting in the lounge room. The place gave us a quick walk into town. Breakfast was also lovely.

Nothing really. Good value for money

The hotel accommodated my special dietary needs. When I was sick, they specially prepared lightly seasoned fried rice for me, which I really appreciated.

This is an old 100 year old building that is reminiscent of buildings in England from the 1930's. It's need of some attention but that's the charm. Service was excellent. Breakfast is served next door and is hotel buffet style so a bit rubbish. Only bug bears was the bed sheets don't fit the beds so you end up sleeping on the raw mattress and in the storm, the ceiling leaks water into the bathroom. We were in room 101!!

Breakfast is not good. Buffet. All cold. Nothing healthy except the fruit. Coffee was instant. Tea was stewed. Room leaks when rains.

Really helpful staff especially the young manager. He was friendly and helpful with good advice for places to visit and eat.

Room was cold and had a musty and damp feel. There was little natural ventilation and sunlight. Decoration was old which needed refreshing even though it was an old building.. web photos were devceing and out of date

The hotel is very clean, the guy from the reception is really attentive and nice, he put up our fireplace because it was a bit cold. We booked a triple room and it was nicely decorated and spacious and the bathroom has a tub. We walked for 10 minutes to a nice restaurant which the receptionist recommended and we had a great time.

We stayed there for 2 nights in the budget room. The hotel host is the only reason that mades up the whole stay. Lovely, extremely polite and helpful person.

Right after arrival we discovered that the shower drain is clogged, next day the sink started to leak. Room was cold and not the cleanest. Additionally the room description states that there is a tv in the room (it was not there), hairdryer is at request and the wifi works only in the lobby. Overall it is way overpriced for the budget standard.

In The 150-year-old Trevene Hotel, a wood-fired fireplace is lit in the evening, and people play cards and chat in the living room as if they were at home. The hotel was able to order meals, because we left at 5am the next day so we packed breakfast, the butler for the day was a boy, he was very warm.

We had an enjoyable and unforgettable two-night stay here, even though it rained during our visit. A special thanks to Mr. Shakeeb for his exceptional care and attention to detail, which left a lasting impression on us. He was always ready to assist us at a moment’s notice, making us feel truly cared for throughout our stay. One of the highlights of our visit was gathering by the fireplace every evening, warming up from the chilly weather of Nuwara Eliya. It was such a cozy and heartwarming experience that perfectly complemented the serene atmosphere of this beautiful place. Breakfast was great as well! Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We would absolutely recommend this accommodation and look forward to returning in the future!

Nothing

Stayed here because of its history. It was built in 1835. You can easily walk to downtown and the Botanical Gardens. It's quiet at night because it's set back from the main road. The bed was super comfortable and had a comforter on it which was great because it was cold out. The staff built a fire in the fireplace in the lobby sitting room for us in the evening. Best of all shower was hot!!! Breakfast is a buffet in the new hotel right beside the Trevene. The staff were super polite and went out of their way to make you comfortable

The location and the history of the hotel. The staff were very helpful and one staff member stood out. Shakeeb who was very attentive and even make a warming fire for us in the evening.

The upkeep of the hotel. Such a grand old place needs a little more TLC.

Breakfast was very good

It a combination local and western may items to select

Nicely located by Victoria Park.. an old bungalow- and wonderful Shakeeb who is the nicest and most helpful of hosts…. A lovely breakfast too.

It was extremely cold at the room, dirty towels and the blanket smelled a lot of smoke. The staff also disturbed twice just to confirm that we were going on regular breakfast-schedule. The room was not clean and the window in the bathroom could not close.

The bed was lovely and snug, I had the best nights sleep so far in Sri Lanka. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was lovely. The property is a very short walk into town.

The room had this old tacky colonial vibe which we absolutely loved! The staff were attentive and efficient, very eager to help and make us feel comfortable. They arranged us a trip to Horton plains which was great, packed us take away breakfast and had no problem with us leaving our luggage in the room even a bit after check-out time. Good location, hot shower, everything you need for a day or two in Nuwara Eliya!

/

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. The room and bathroom was spacious, clean and well equipped. We loved having an enclosed shower with great hot water pressure separate from the rest of the bathroom. This kept everything dry. Wi-Fi is very good. There are many sitting rooms with couches to read and write in the lobby. The free breakfast was delicious and extensive. The hotel is located within walking distances to everything. The best part was the host (Shakeeb) who attended to our every need and always around when we had questions. Shakeeb arranged all our logistics for Hortons Plains, and made cost effective recommendations for beyond. Thank you Shakeeb!

Nothing

Good location, basic feel of the former colonial guest house was good but sadly nothing else measured up.

During our stay we variously had no water, no electricity, limited internet, unbearable construction noise at night and unsafe surrounds with exposed sharp spikes, tripping hazards, laundry hanging on the front fence and bushes as well as on the handrail of the dangerous exterior staircase to breakfast which was very poor and in an adjacent hotel. Much to improve here. Staff arranged a vehicle for onward travel which was below standard and over priced with the driver who did not know where he was going and harassed for a tip at the end

The hotel is charm. Have the traditional style and with wood wall stove, which you can use at night. The reception staff Shakeeb is super helpful and he made our stay very enjoyable! He really care what guests want and do his best to help! Thank you!

None

The location is a former a colonial villa, highly recommend if you want to experience it. Very helpful staff. Location close to centre and Victoria Park. Excellent breakfast in the very close newer hotel. We went to Horton Plains on the check out day and had a lovely packed breakfast ready by 5am, thank you!

I enjoyed the aesthetics and the cosy feeling. Calm and quiet.

Nice staff!lovely room!

- Helpful staff - British colonial era house is atmospheric - Good location. Close to city center, but far from traffic noise.

-

Cosy guesthouse in a former tea estate bungalow, located a few minutes' walk from central Nuwara Eliya, Victoria Park and Lake Gregory. The décor is more quaint than modern, but my room was large and well-appointed. The friendly staff member helped me throughout my stay, giving me advice on things to do in town and even lighting a roaring fire in my in-room fireplace — a real novelty! The bed was very comfortable and my room was extremely quiet so I got a great night's sleep.

Those who prefer a more modern/minimalist style may not be too fond of the décor but I found it charming.

The place was quite cozy and very homely, didn't feel like we were too far from home and that was great for anyone travelling with an infant like us. It was in a very convenient location as well and I think that's what got our attention and the price we were paying for it was totally worth it. Would definitely recommend the place to friends and family.

The location - 10min walking from city center, the service and rich breakfast. Electric water kettle in the room

Iffy wifi (stopped working for almost a full day as they didn't charge it...). A window in the ceiling (with no curtain) introduces early sunlight. Probably not worth the price...
