Train View Chalet

We had a very nice stay here. The hotel provided a luxury shuttle service from the train station, which was punctual and convenient. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and the rooms were incredibly clean and beautifully designed—simply great rooms! Opening the door, we couldn’t help but say, ‘Wow!

Went with family and the stay was great. We got a family room where my kids slept in e bunk bed. Amazing structure with natural look. The food was awesome and kids enjoyed a lot. I tried the local Srilankan delicacy. Being vegetarian they made dishes which we could easily have. The host Madhawa Eranda was engaging and informed all options of local sightseeing. Great place to stay for 2-3 nights if you want to enjoy he nature. He has natural stream water swimming pool. Now I know why it’s called Train View. Thanks Madhawa Eranda for hosting us.

It was a wonderful stay. The place is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and the gentle sound of the nearby natural spring stream creates a deep connection with the environment. Additionally, it's conveniently close to Bandarawela town, with many nearby tourist attractions. They also organize well-planned and satisfying tours to Horton Plains and Ella, which I thoroughly enjoyed on my second visit.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! From the warm welcome to the beautifully clean and well-maintained rooms, everything exceeded our expectations. The peaceful and quiet surroundings provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, making our experience even more special. One of the highlights was definitely the natural spring water swimming pool. It felt like a true oasis, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. The refreshing swim in crystal-clear water was a unique experience we truly cherished. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We’re truly grateful for the memorable experience and can’t wait to return.

It's amazing, everything is well arranged, worth for the expenditure Must get the experience of the place and see Cham and quiet place, nice view of the train and its sound Friendly staff, very flexible, good food, clean air and water.. Overall nice experience with family and friends

Train View Chalet in Bandarawela is a delightful retreat that exceeded our expectations. Right from our initial call, communication was excellent, with detailed information sent via WhatsApp. The location is easily accessible by any vehicle. We booked the Luxury Double Room ("Pattipola"), a charming two-story villa complete with a living room featuring a fireplace, a bathtub, and a private verandah. Despite a widespread power outage during our stay, the staff ensured all facilities were operational. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with plain tea and Viskirinja (විස්කිරිඤ්ඤා). The attentive staff assisted with luggage, allowing us to enjoy our tea while exploring the villa. The bed was cozy, with clean sheets and towels provided. Surprisingly, hot water was available even during the power cut. If there was an air heater, that would be perfect. The bathroom and bathtub were clean, ⚠️ although the transparent fish tank near the bathroom raised privacy concerns. The verandah, equipped with bean bags, offered a serene spot to enjoy the train views. Wi-fi was available, and the fireplace in the living room added a special touch to our stay. For dinner, we opted for BBQ Chicken Kottu and Creamy Mushroom Soup, reasonably priced and served hot. The food was not only delicious but also generously portioned. In the morning, we witnessed the enchanting sight of trains passing by the chalet. The garden, home to rabbits, hamsters, and birds, added to the charm. Breakfast comprised string hoppers and bread with Sri Lankan curries, enjoyed in the clean and inviting restaurant. A nearby iron bridge, accessible by walking on the railway, provided another picturesque spot to explore. In summary, our stay at Train View Chalet was truly memorable. The service was exceptional, with friendly and efficient staff. The food was fabulous, and the facilities offered great value for the price. The welcoming atmosphere made us feel like friends rather than visitors. "Come as a visitor, go as a friend" – they embody this sentiment wholeheartedly! ❤️
