Araliya Green City - Your Gateway to Everything in Nuwara Eliya

10/10 Excellent
"A lovely five-star hotel in a convenient location, with a food court, mini-mart, and small shopping area right next door. It is also just a short distance from town. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful gardens, with a stupa situated across the road, adding to the peaceful surroundings. The rooms are spacious, modern, and beautifully designed, with very comfortable beds. The staff are outstanding — attentive, courteous, and friendly, with an excellent eye for detail. Their warm hospitality truly enhances the overall experience. Both the dinner buffet and breakfast were excellent, offering a wonderful dining experience. Overall, a beautiful hotel with excellent facilities, delicious food, and exceptional service. Highly recommended for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!"

"Decent property or a short stay. The dining experience was good. Close to Nuwara Eliya town centre but not walkable. Considering the fact the area is a hill station with cold/colder weather conditions, the room(s) need a better heating setup that can make the visitors feel comfortable inside the room."

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, well-organized, and featured a sleek, modern design. The absolute highlight was the views—simply amazing from everywhere we went, including the room, restaurant, bar, and pool. The buffet breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. A special shoutout to the staff who provided truly outstanding service. The location is ideal: perched on the hill so it’s easy for cars to access, yet still well within short walking distance of the town center, shops, and restaurants. Highly recommended!"

"Lovely hotel with great staff and a beautiful location. The breakfast was excellent - possibly the best chicken curry I’ve had in Sri Lanka. The only downside is that is quite far from the centre of Ella - and getting a Tuk-Tuk through PickMe was almost impossible - meaning I had to pay at least twice as much to flag one down."
