Extreamly clean, comfortable and quiet place. A very spacious room. Owner and family couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful and went out of their way on a number of occasions to assist us and other guests during our stay. The owners son also spoke with us at length about the history of the house, the town and Sri Lanka, he was very knowledgeable. Well located with restaurants close by and a lovely walk to Lovers Leap waterfall. Great value for money and a good breakfast to start the day. Definitely highly recommended

We had one of the best stays here in Sri Lanka so far! Our host Shan and his mum were super welcoming, kind and hospitable. They always made sure that we felt comfortable and at home. We got a free upgrade to their two-level room, which had the most amazing view over Gregory lake. There was hot water, thick bed sheets and the home made breakfast by his mum was sooo delicious!! My partner got a little bit sick, so they made us warm tea and some fried noodles for dinner. We felt very grateful for their kindness and can 100% recommend this place!

Just stayed at The Ramp in Nuwara Eliya. Really impressed! The owner and staff are super nice and helpful. They helped me with everything I needed, like finding things to do and places to eat. The hotel itself is good too. Clean rooms and comfy beds. Plus, the location is perfect - close to everything in town. Overall, great value for money. If you're looking for a friendly and convenient place to stay in Nuwara Eliya, The Ramp is the spot!

The location is amazing. A little bit away from the city center but easy to walk down and for the way back we always took a TukTuk, which was super easy. The owner and his family were very helpful and on the second day we went on a little tour to viewpoints and a teafarm, after all of it he brought us to the trainstation. The breakfast there is to recommend, very delicious.

This was an amazing property set in a beautiful location. The views from the rooms, dining area and pool room were magnificent and really enhanced the stay. There are only 6 rooms which makes this boutique hotel a wonderfully relaxing place to stay. The infinity pool overlooks the emerald hills and is quietly serene. The staff were all very kind and helpful.
