Train View Chalet, hotel in Bandarawela

Located in Bandarawela, Train View Chalets are situated just 20 minutes away from Ella, 1 hour from Nuwara Eliya, and 15 minutes from Haputale.

The comfortable chalets away from the hustle of Ella and Bandarawela are tucked away in a beautiful garden with plenty of flowers. The owner arranged an excellent tour on our way to Ella rock with an open 4X4 vehicle during which we experienced a most beautiful forest with eucalyptus trees ever seen, and thereafter the historical train and the 9 arches bridge and a scenic drive through the legendary Lipton thee estate with a visit to the authentic production hall. Warmly recommended.

Roseland Cottages, hotel in Bandarawela

Located within 21 km of Demodara Nine Arch Bridge and 14 km of Ella Rock in Bandarawela, Roseland Cottages provides accommodation with seating area.

The first thing that stood out was the beautiful view of the mountains from the room balcony. The balcony and full-length windows face east so the sun rises right across and the morning light fills the room (but there are blackout curtains too). The balcony is great to sit and enjoy the view, especially mornings and evenings. The room itself is spacious, the bed is big and comfortable. We also ate all our meals at Roseland itself and they have a variety of Sri Lankan and western dishes. We ate only Sri Lankan food and all our meals were delicious and like simple home-cooked Sri Lankan food - definitely a plus! Rajiv (the owner) and his wife were very responsive on WhatsApp to our questions. Rajiv and his staff helped us decide on some of the hikes that would suit our preferences and also organized transport. One of the staff familiar with the routes also accompanied us as a guide. The cost was very reasonable too. Roseland is a tea and coffee estate and it was interesting to see their tea and coffee producing process as well as do a tasting of their coffee and different teas - we ended up buying quite a few of them too! They have small factory/production section near the entrance to the property as well and it was nice to smell the wafting fragrance of the teas during our post-dinner walks. Rajiv was very kind in helping us get some money changed without going to the market, and also having our train tickets collected from the train station without us having to go there (train tickets booked online still have to be collected in person prior to traveling), which was a big help and a time saver. Overall it was a very calm and relaxing environment. We stayed there for 4 nights and would love to go back!

    Bandarawela is a busy, bustling town with all the major banks and a couple of Food City stores as well as many other shops and kadas. Just by the post office is the Bandarawela Hotel which is quiet and away from all the town bustle so ideal for a pit stop. Bandarawela is a good alternative to staying in Ella as it is less touristy but still in easy reach if you want to visit Ella. Out of the city the air is cool and fresh and the hills provide a respite for the weary traveller. From Bandarawela station you can take the train to Nanu Oya - for Nuwara Eliya, and Kandy or Hatton and indeed Colombo.

    We really loved the location, an amazing peaceful chalet in the middle of the nature. Everything was perfect in every details, from the room to the staff. they prepare everything homemade, the food was delicious and typical of Sri lanka with the chance of having more international dishes. The staff was very kind and thoughtful for each of our requests. They arranged the tea plantation tour and all the tourist attractions we wanted to visit. It was very sad to leave this paradise that unfortunately we lived for just one night.

    From the moment of check in to check out, I had a wonderful stay at orient hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and professional and the food was delicious. Special mention must be made to the GM Mr. Chandima who was always on the scene and attentive to our needs. We were also provided with a Trek to Ella Rock accompanied by hotel staff and a packed hotel lunch which was an incredible experience I would highly recommend. Overall was a great visit and will definitely be staying here again next time I visit.

    This is a little gem just a few minutes away from Bandarawela town. The staff and owners Lalith and Nirupa are exceptional hosts and were committed to comfort of us. The house is very homely and felt like our own home. Nirupas cooking was amazing, the milk rice was a die for. While the rooms are not luxurious, they feel like a home. The blankets were very nice. Highly recommend for a family or group to have a night out. You can catch the beautiful sunrise from the room itself.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The bungalow is spacious with all the comforts one would need. Surrounded by lush green mountains with great views. Staff, Lakshmi Amma and her twin sons were extremely kind and supportive all the time. Chef surprised us with lot of delicious meals on time. Property owner Chandana guided us from the time of booking and made sure that all our needs are met and that we had a quality time. Thank you for the hospitality.

    My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed our stay at Ovitiyas Bandarawela. We took the train from Kandy and the location was very conveniently located - close to the town. The hospitality was warm and welcoming. Our accommodations were comfortable and very well maintained. Dining was a very good experience, with the staff even arranging us an outdoor candle-lit dinner. It was a delightful visit.

    The place gives us a natural, vibrant atmosphere with all the locations and scenery. During our journey, we booked the place and the owner was extremely helpful. He waited until midnight until we arrived. Without a doubt, we will suggest this place in Bandarawela.

    We had a good time in Ovitiyas. It’s just that we could stay there only for a day as the bookings were full. Special mention to Mr. Pasidhu who was very helpful and kind. The home stay was in a quiet neighborhood and near to the town.
