Andrews Hostel

It is located halfway up the mountain, about 1.5 kilometers from the town center. You can walk or take a tuk-tuk... It is the house where several generations of the boss's family have lived. The living room is large and bright, and the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are all very clean... The surrounding ecological environment is very good, and the boss is quite enthusiastic and will answer any questions...

We traveled from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya by train and this is the most picturesque road in Ceylon. The station is called Nanu Oya, it is 5.5 km from it to the city and the hotel. Ignore the taxi drivers and walk from the station forward and slightly up to the bus stop 746, which takes you to the city center in 20 minutes (the fare is 70 rupees, tukers asked for 1000). From the bus station we walked for half an hour, tukers ask for 400 (some even 700) for 2 km. I don’t know why there is a “hostel” in the name, because it is a guest house, in the back of which the owners live. On our visit, we were alone, a room with a private bathroom, there is a very nice shared kitchen with tea, dishes, where we cooked our breakfasts and dinners. In the description of the hotel on the trip it is written about the Internet "contact the hotel", there is Internet and it is normal, probably they made a mistake in the description. Despite the blanket on the bed, it does not help, it is very cold at night, on the second night I had to sleep in jeans and a sweatshirt, during the day it was +16, at night it seems to drop to 5-6. Who would have thought that you need to take fleece pajamas with you to Ceylon, like in England! It's good that I took slippers. The hotel is located far from the main road, so it is quiet here. True, in the mornings under the windows they either mowed the grass or repaired a motorcycle, I do not understand why this must be done at 6 am. No questions about cleanliness, no mold, apparently it is cold and there is an influx of air in the bathroom. I liked the hotel, a very nice family atmosphere, thanks to the owner.
