PROMAX villa

Set in Nuwara Eliya, within 2.6 km of Gregory Lake and 9.4 km of Hakgala Botanical Garden, PROMAX villa offers accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests.

The hostel provides certain units that feature a safety deposit box, and all rooms are equipped with a private bathroom with a bidet. The units have bed linen. This place was far away better that all I could expect, really ! Guys are giving such a warm welcome, all their best to make you feel home ! Really helpful and with a good state of mind. I'v just spent 2 nights there but it was absolutely delicious : the hosts, the good and large breakfasts, the cleaning, the matress (the best I had by now on my months journey), the shared areas with brand new and comfortabe stuffs). The only thing I was worrying about as seen on a preview was the distance to the city, but even for that, a 10 minutes walk is ok.
