We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. Originally a booking for 2 nights, they made sure we could stay in the same room. Clean and convenient. Good breakfast or breakfast packs on the go. Extremely helpful and friendly staff, always looking after us.

Wonderful, kind and helpful host, who arranged trips for us at very resonable prices. Accomodation is basic but very clean and comfortable. We had a little sun room on the side of our room which was lovely to sit in and drink tea.

Wonderful Service
Amazing place, fantastic service, kind people. Our stay was our favorite in Sri Lanka because the staff was so kind to us. My husband I were not well when we arrived and they took such good care us, sent us to the doctor, asked about our health everyday and very sweetly packed us a breakfast to go on our very early morning train. We will stay here any time we come back! Also loved the abundance of hot water and lovely shower pressure. Sometimes those little things make such a difference!

Cozy and spacious rooms that give off a cottage vibe. Located in the city, within walking distance from Victoria Park and different dining options. Breakfast was provided, and the staff were very friendly and eager to help.

We stayed one night, and would recommend it! The hotel staff is extremely nice and helpful. It’s close to the main roads where you can find good restaurants and shopping within a walk. We didn’t get to do a whole lot but there was a lot of sites to visit.

Home away from home
Location was about 1km away from the city centre where food and shops can be found. You can easily take a tuktuk there! The hosts were really friendly and the room was great! Floor was carpeted and their fleece blankets were thick so it kept us really warm during this cold period (about 12-13 degrees). The TV had many channels like sports channels, animal planet, discovery channel and etc. We could even watch World Cup in the comfort of our rooms! The host even woke up earlier and made us breakfast to take away on our 5am journey to Horton Plains. We are thankful for his sandwiches, bananas, fruit juice drink and water that kept us feeling full and ready for the trek. Thank you for being such great hosts!

2/10 Poor

Very different to the description in their listing
The room was largish and somewhat comfortable but the listing said “balcony or patio with hill views” but the closest it got was a foot-wide ledge outside the window (i.e., I would have to climb out the window) with views only of surrounding hotels. The listing said “day bed and desk” - there was no desk and only an armchair with an uncomfortably thin seat. It also said “flat-screen TV” but it was an old small TV and even the part of the listing that says “free toiletries” is a lie. Staff didn’t know what I was talking about when I complained and I can’t find any photos online that suggest that any of their rooms match their description. The bathroom was alright except for a very narrow shower stream and a broken toilet seat. The wifi was fast and reliable, so there's that. Breakfast was eggs and fruit - does the job but it’s the most basic hotel breakfast I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Staff were often hard to find. It probably wasn’t the worst hotel I stayed at in Sri Lanka but Carnation Rest is the most out of step with the price and with their advertising.

宿の方々が大変フレンドリーで且つ親切でした。ウェルカムドリンクに紅茶とカステラを頂きました。到着時少し疲れていたので有り難かったです。 ロケーションが良いです。バスターミナルから少し離れていますが徒歩圏内、その分静かで落ち着いた雰囲気です。グレゴリー湖も徒歩圏内、近くにスーパーマーケットやレストランもあります。 建物は少し古いですが清潔です。部屋に窓付きのバルコニーが有ったのが嬉しかったです。 アメニティは少ないですが値段を考えると妥当だと思います。ドライヤーはありました。 朝食はコンチネンタルタイプです。
私が泊まった日は賑わっていました。

翌朝ホートンプレインズに行くために滞在しました。 お部屋はかなり広く、リビング、ベッドルームとそれぞれあり、どこも清潔でした。予め伝えておけば、チェックアウトが5時でしたが快く対応してくれ、朝食を持ち出せるように用意してくださります。とても美味しい朝食でした！ ロケーションは少し街中からは離れてますが静かに過ごせる場所です。

☆良い点☆ アクセスが良い。グレゴリー湖やシングルツリーヒルから徒歩数分で、ヌワラエリアメインバスステーションも徒歩圏内。 ユニットバスだが簡易の仕切りがあり、さらに清潔だった。温度調節も簡単にできた。 WiFiも速く、テレビ付き。 朝食はパンと紅茶だったかとても美味しかった。 スタッフもフレンドリーで対応も良かった。 ☆悪い点☆ 特になし

Très bon rapport qualité prix
Proche du centre, mais au calme. Les chambres sont propres, petit ballon d'eau chaude qui vient super rapidement et bien chaude, c'est très agréable car il peut faire assez frais dans la région. Petit déjeuner complet sans être exceptionnel. Très bon rapport qualité prix

Eenvoudig, maar toch compleet
Het is een heel eenvoudig hotel, maar heeft toch complete voorzieningen, zoals eigen badkamer met warm water. Het ontbijt was heel uitgebreid en smaakte prima. Op onze eerste avond hebben wij van de menukaart een warme maaltijd uitgezocht die verrassend goed smaakte. Het personeel is heel behulpzaam, zij regelen alle transport voor een scherpe prijs. Beetje jammer dat de beheersing van het Engels nogal gebrekkig is.

Ruhige Unterkunft, saubere Zimmer
Das Carnation Rest liegt etwas außerhalb, ca. 10 Gehminuten vom Victoria-Park und 15 min. vom Busbahnhof, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Zum Bahnhof Nanu Oya kostet ein Tuk-Tuk ca. 500 Rupien. Wir waren im älteren Gebäude untergebracht. Das große Zimmer war sauber und Decken für die kalten Nächte sind vorhanden. Das Bad verfügt über eine Duschkabine, sonst eher eine Seltenheit. Der Preis ist für ein Guesthouse etwas teurer, das liegt aber wohl eher am generell höheren Preisniveau in Nuwara Eliya. Das gute Frühstück kann in einem schönen rundum verglasten Essensraum eingenommen werden. Bei unserer frühen Abreise hat man uns ein Lunchpaket mitgegeben. Wir haben hier für einen akzeptablen Preis auch Wäsche gewaschen. Die Kommunikation ist aufgrund geringer Englischkenntnisse des Betreibers etwas schleppend. Man hat uns aber ein Fahrzeug für eine Tour in die Horton Plains organisiert und zwei andere Gäste als Mitfahrer vermittelt, womit es deutlich günstiger wurde. Für Reisende mit Kindern: Im schönen Victoria-Park gibt es einen großen Spielplatz (Eintritt: 300 Rupien) wo sich die kleinen richtig austoben können.

Guesthouse tout à fait recommandable
Une nuit passée dans cette guesthouse aux airs anglais, tout à fait confortable avec son personnel serviable , une chambre correcte avec salle de douches au-dessus de la moyenne locale, son petit déjeuner très satisfaisant servi dans une agréable véranda. Dommage que le drap fut trop étroit pour la taille du lit.
