The Hill Club

Hotel

Mostly Members Only But, got a chance to stay a wonderful night at Hill Club. Friendly, Sincere staff and their service is excellent. Must say, the best place stayed at Uwaraeliya on my visit. Some what expensive rooms and their charges but their standards are always the same.

The quality charter of the club is — Courtesy, Charm, character, calm and cuisine. I think it ticks off all these attributes. This is your quintessential "old England" atmosphere. Lovely heritage building immaculately maintained along with a garden busting with a profusion of colours. Great base at the heart of Nuwara Eliya cut away from the hustle and bustle of the town and other poorly constructed motels.

The hotel building and the grounds are beautiful. We, however, have a small son of 2 years, we would be brought to an extra house so that our son does not bother the other guests. This was old, dirty and not what we expected. We were forbidden to enter the dining room with our son and we had to take our breakfast in a nasty room. The Continentalfrühstück consisted of a slice of toast and some scrambled eggs, the guests in the main building had buffet. Our dinner was served cold. Impossible behavior, we would have known that before would have come elsewhere.

Very beautiful grounds in English style. It's nice to walk around the park. The entrance is free. The restaurant is very nice. Entrance to the club card, which can be bought for 100 rupees. The restaurant did not go, park recommend to visit.

A-ma-zing. I felt like a princess. Amazing decor, good service. Hot water bottle under my duvet made my evening :)

A comfortable "club" environment! Seeped in its heritage. Your stay will be comfortable in super quite, large rooms. Nice homely bar and a lovely formal dinning hall with a wood fire place.

I slept for two nights at the Hill Club Hotel in Nuwara Eliya. The hotel is particularly pretty. Good location. The staff is very welcoming and respectful. Always there to serve you. A good choice!

Very relaxing hotel ideally situated just in the sweet spot, not too close yet not too far from town. Great service and satisfactory quality and quantity of food. The staff are fantastic!

Beautifully manicured lawns… sat having drinks watching croquet. Very atmospheric. Staff impeccably dressed and service excellent. Indoors is old colonial style and comfortable. Drinks reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Place very "British" atmosphere of other times.

Beautiful historical building. Good kitchen and excellent service. Must visit.

Old world charm. Beautiful garden. Very friendly staff. Just next to Golf Club. 5 mins walk downtown. Full of ambience. Still maintains British formality at dinner time.

The hotel is an English-style manor house, the door has a big lawn, very nice. Hotel room decoration is very General, but fairly clean, where to eat authentic English dinner, price also line, however, required dress to attend, did not take the dress while free loan. In addition feel to this hotel a discrimination against the Chinese, the Europeans of the service is significantly better than the US.

Beautiful Heritage property in breathtakingly beautiful Nuwara Eliya. While they have tried to keep the exclusivity and a club atmosphere alive, it needs better maintenance.

A time warp of a building. Crumbling slightly in places but an intriguing place to stay with various curios dotted around the place. A bit pretentious at dinner with it's dress code. My room was fine although some did get flooded due to maintenance issues. Could have done with a fridge in the room. Breakfast was not the best, 'fawlty towers'-esque service. However, for all it's minor faults I still enjoyed my stay here.

Staff who were only interested in a tip. An interesting place with some amazing memorabilia of colonial times, but the staff let the place down.

We didn't stay here but came here for dinner. You have to pay a 100rs temporary joining fee. We ate in the formal dining room so my partner had to borrow a jacket tie which didn't come as an extra cost. He brought proper shoes but we saw other men just wearing sneakers. We arrived about an hour early to enjoy drinks in the lounge which has a fireplace. We then moved to the dining area for a five course set meal which is $25USD. We're both vegetarian so they catered for us which was no hassle at all. There was also a pianist playing next to us too. Our waiter ravi was excellent and very attentive and friendly the entire time.

Very old building dating back to 1876 which sounds good but on other hand it means most of there things are also very old… Like furniture, carpets and may be even towels… They have beautiful garden and great location but very bad kitchen service along with extra serious and not so co-operative restaurant staff. We had to ask for water three times for them to finally bring it. Plus they have very limited menu as well… Like four items for breakfast to choose from… there were no bathroom slippers. They have good indoor activities like billiards, snooker, darts, carrom board plus DVD movies but keeping in mind some of them are paid activities. They have good reading area along with TV lounge plus some antiques here and there which are interesting to see…

Old British style place with tie as a must dress code for the library area on the ground floor. Liked it. Quaint place.

Towels were old and shabby like the room. Style was still elegant and classy. Beautiful gardens and common areas. Fine dining hall had excellent service and food, the jacket and tie loan added a beautiful touch of grace with the piano and fireplace.

Best place to stay not just in Nuwara Eliya but in Sri Lanka!

Basking on it's old English heritage!. If you are in for modern amenities and clean facilities this may not be yours.

Not much opition for meals! Slow & ineffixient service during breakfast.

A lovely hotel with a lot of heritage, but unfortunately showing her age. Still has the throwback to the colonial days by having a restaurant that requires jacket and tie for dinner. The only other restaurant in the hotel is, frankly, empty despite serving the same food! The rooms, despite being renovated, are still not quite where they should be when you pay so much per night. The hot water bottles in bed at night are a lovely touch! The staff in general are outstanding : warm, friendly, helpful. They really make Hill Club what it is. Finally, if you can, do watch the daily flag hoisting for a fantastic experience!

Good food. Beautiful place. Old atmospheric environment.

Hotel offering Old style colonial experience, clean and tidy, rooms could do with some updating. Staff all very helpful, quiet but also close to town centre. High class dining menu but limited, particularly for teenage veggies. Casual dining room available so no need to dress up unless you want to. Local dogs barking and sloping floor to room kept us awake all night.

Unfortunately we had bad weather and electricity in town was cut off so the hotel switched to generator power. Nevertheless, of all the hotels we've done in sri lanka, this was the only one capable of entertaining us 2 full days during heavy rains: impressive pool table rooms, extended movie collection, cosy couches next to the fire places, rich history and old fashion decoration.

Set in the middle of serene mountains and next to Golf course this is definitely a great British era mansion converted to hotel. It has a main wing and a cottage with. Both has its own plus points and negatives. Services are prompt in main wing and one gets the feeling of staying in the British era building. However the rooms are small and not very modern. Cottage has huge modern rooms but being away from main wing services are not that prompt there. Food menu has limited options and so is the breakfast menu. Staff is nice and friendly. There is a lot of theme rooms to explore in different sections of hotel. It has 2 restaurants: — Formal one for which one has to be dressed in jacket and tie. Hotel has provides that in case one is not having. It's setup is very nice though. — Casual one is the other restaurant with no restrictions.

Targets foreigners and foreign passport holders only. It's a club for exclusive membership only. Food is mostly western. Strict rules regarding some aspects such as coat n tie for dinner. Four course dinner. An old establishment since colonial times.

Hotel in the English style, the room took north suit. A little expensive, but it's worth it, room service is on top! At night in bed put a hot water bottle) ) but cozy and warm) ) inside the hotel as one at the Museum of Antiques. In the evening relax in front of the fireplace with a Cup of tea.

Necktie di mandatory for dinner at the restaurant. Not the best food in town and more expensive than other options. Good if you look for a somehow classy atmosphere.

Good restaurant. Chinese food also. Some tomato egg soup is good to drink.

In this building which could be in England, feels away in other times. As a former gentleman Club are still rules which must be observed. Is such as to the diner. Wearing a tie is required (you can wear shirt this incidentally to a t). The furniture is also from the period around the turn of the century, and a billiards room should not be missed. The rooms are very large. If it is too cold you can ask a fireplace or even a warm water bottle. The Club isn't just a normal hotel. We want to not miss but the experience to have slept here.
