The view was absolutely incredible! House of Leisure is beautiful inside and out. I think the room may have been the nicest one we stayed at in Lanka. It was spacious and so comfortable with cozy blankets and a soft warm rug. The wifi didn’t work in the room but we didn’t mind using the lounge upstairs. It was so cozy and comfortable! We wish we’d stayed more than one night! It’s also an easy walk to the lake and some good restaurants, plus drivers can find it easily from the train station.

We had a really nice stay, even though it was just for one night. The food was delicious, and they thoughtfully catered to our dietary needs. The walk to the tea plantation was absolutely beautiful—we took so many great pictures! The host was exceptionally wonderful and went the extra mile by decorating our room for my husband's birthday. Thank you for making our stay so special! Decent accommodation for a one night stay .

I loved the antique decor and the location was about 20min from town walking. The staff was so kind and allowed us to pay the next day and leave our bags for several hours. The room was clean and very spacious. The best was the fresh flowers picked and placed in the vase from the grounds.
Wish it was a little bit closer to the town center, but a tuk tuk cand always be arranged for you.

This was a beautiful little place, very cute. Lots of balconies and garden area to enjoy the sunset in the evening. The staff were very kind and helpful. We stayed in the dorm room and it was a great find, very comfortable and reasonably priced. I was close to cancelling but the photos do not give the place justice, so glad I stayed!
Poor photos! Place is much nicer in person.

Excellent location. Walkable distance from Gregory lake and hence, many places to eat around and chill at the lake. Good views of valley from the property. The reception area is very artistically decorated which adds a cool vibe to the place. Room and breakfast were basic but decent. The person taking care of the property was very attentive and helpful. Overall, good stay..
Bathroom could have been a big bigger.

The place is situated in an excellent location with a lovely view. Additionally, the breakfast offered was fantastic, and the staff was quite friendly.
The rooms were a little dusty, and upon inspection, we noticed that all the furniture had accumulated some dust, suggesting that they hadn't been cleaned for a while. It would have been convenient if they had provided shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in the bathrooms as well.

The View from the Room itself was extra ordinary. Windows were quite big and we had an excellent view of Mountains, the Green's and the beautiful nature of the surrounding from our room itself. During night time you can hear a pin drop (pure silence and very comfortable). Staff and the owner was always around and really helpful and welcoming at all times. The blankets provided were more than enough to keep us warm during night time and there was hot water in both Shower and Basin. Addtionally if you want, you can get a heater for a few extra bucks. Breakfast was simple and traditional. In no way it's a five star hotel. But if what matters for you is the view, a peaceful stay and a central hotel with easy access to almost all nature sites like Gregory Park, Victoria Park, Lovers Fall, etc this is a place worth the money that is being paid.
As nothing is perfect, the interior is in need of an upgrade. Room and the hotel in general was very clean. Even the toilet. But to make it more attractive, Rooms could be repainted and Door locks could be upgraded. Toilet needs a bit of renovation as well. Other than that, it was all Good.

Very good option for solo travellers, breakfast is nice and the house is in a very colonial style. Depending on the room, the views are breathtaking. 30 min walk from the center, which is pretty doable. Water and tea are always available and free.
