The location of this hotel is absolutely stunning, overlooking the tea plantations and just a short walk away from the famous Nine Arches Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak. The rooms are large, comfortable, and well-ventilated, offering a spacious and relaxing atmosphere. The staff at this hotel are exceptional, providing great service and attention to detail. Breakfast at this hotel is delicious and generous, surpassing the typical hotel breakfast fare.
The decor in some areas of the hotel, such as the reception and courtyard, could be improved to create a more welcoming atmosphere.

I had a fabulous view of the mountains from this hotel, which made the stay truly memorable. The attention to detail in the rooms was remarkable, with tasteful decoration and spaciousness that added to the overall comfort. The staff provided excellent service and the basic amenities were all provided, ensuring a hassle-free stay. The location of the hotel, overlooking a valley and the famous nine arches rail viaduct, was simply breathtaking.
The seating in the restaurant could have been more comfortable with the addition of cushions.

The hotel had great views of the valley and the nine arched bridge which we enjoyed from the pool area. the room was spacious with a large bathroom and a separate shower. the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
The hotel fell short in some areas. the coffee was weak and warm, and the atmosphere in the restaurant wasn't great, with dead flowers on the table and staff who seemed to be going through the motions.

Nestled just outside the hustle and bustle of a backpacker magnet village, this hotel boasts a peaceful location with stunning views including the Nine Arches Bridge and tea plantations. the spacious rooms with comfortable beds and luxurious en-suite bathrooms add to the experience. the hotel's restaurant serves delicious breakfasts prepared to order. the staff is helpful and attentive to every request.
Some towels were found to be old and stained, something that would benefit from being refreshed.
