Dias Rest AKA The White Monkey Guest House: Stuuning Spot - Lovely Family

An impossibly cheap, detached accommodation with a working family in a stunning, comparatively isolated and hugely atmospheric mountain-side position.

There is a cottage with two double beds and a lived-in feel to it, I preferred the simply furnished family rooms (also two double beds) all have bathrooms with shower and toilet. It is incredible value for money, I questioned the bill because I thought Dias had simply not charged me enough.

Unique Quality: The views all around are second to none and the cool mountain air comes as a blessed relief from the heat of the lowlands, my one regret is that I was only able to spend two nights here, this is a real gem of a place and I will be back.

Amarasinghe guesthouse: Amarasinghe: as good as it get

Probably the best night's sleep I've had anywhere in Sri Lanka.

Unique Quality: Spotlessly clean, friendly but unobtrusive, good food (varied menu) and it’s not expensive either, if you’ve spent the day in the hills or on the train and need some comfort it’s got to be Amarasinghe. One of the best guesthouses I ever stayed at, there’s no bar but if you buy some beer from one of the wines stores in town, Mr Amarasinghe is happy to let you drink it in the lounge.

Its an easy walk from the town but not so easy to find in the dark so if you telephone in advance Mr Amarasinghe will pick you up from the railway station or bus stand.

Amarasinghe Guesthouse: Highly-highly recommended

Now this is the best value I would ever stay in my whole life. For 800 SLR a spacious room on the 1st floor, double bed (just for myself!!) ensuite bathroom, spotlessly clean, nice furniture and a small balcony with a view. The whole establishment was kept tidy, the communal areas were extremely well-run and the restaurant served decent food. Highly-highly recommended. Excellent value for money.

cues-ta inn: Haputale's best view

I spent 4 fantastic days in Haputale and I loved this guesthouse. The rooms are very simple, but they have a bathroom with hot water ( very important, the temperature is quite low here ) and a balcony from which you can enjoy a breathaking view of one of the haputale gaps. This is a very good place for the budget traveller: cheap ( only 500rs ), clean, the owner is very friendly and it's in the middle of the tea plantations.

Unique Quality: The veranda it's fantastic!!
