The Trevene

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.

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

Old colonial style hotel. Reminded me of British B&B in the 70'sThe 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
