"Hotel on the outskirts of Haputale. The location isn't really important. They picked us up from the station free of charge. Breakfast was Sri Lankan and continental. We had dinner there one of the two nights we were there. They're currently renovating, and the noise from the construction workers is bothersome. They told us it would be finished in a couple of months. They arranged a tuk-tuk for us to Lipton's Seat and a transfer to Galle. There's no bottled water, refrigerator, or hairdryer in the room. We booked a triple room with a balcony, which was a nice bonus. It's odd that they charged us for tea we ordered in the mid-afternoon. The owner speaks perfect English. Nearby is Mint in the Mist, where you can have lunch or dinner (it has very nice views)."

"Fantastic calming location to stay, brilliant food. Well maintained property with clean and comfortable rooms and amazed by the quality service and hospitality offered by the staff. This bungalow is a perfect place for a family and just 5 minutes away from the Haputale Town."

"I agree with pretty much all the reviews here, but feel like some of the negatives are due to unrealistic expectations of small town rural SL. Overall my experience was excellent despite terrible weather - rainy and foggy. I came to stay 2 days but ended staying 3 as I knew weather would only be the same in Ella (my next stop). Rooms are a good size with very comfortable beds with clean linen and warm blankets (necessary when I was here). Lishan (the real owner, not Ali who found me at the station and claimed it was part of his family business) provided regular pots of tea while I chilled in the breakfast room and sitting room, read, and waited for the rain to stop and fog to clear. Views were excellent during clear moments. The bar next door (once part of the hotel) is a total trip "Wild East" saloon. Lots of things a bit grubby, slow, etc but par for the course. Memorable. Definitely worth a go."
