Gorgeous Mountain View

The Triple Room with Mountain View was absolutely stunning. The view from our room was amazing, making every moment more enjoyable.

Delicious Breakfast Experience

Breakfast at Queensland Hotel was a good experience. The options were varied, and everything was prepared to perfection. What really stood out was the way breakfast was served on the balcony, surrounded by glorious views and the morning mist. Chef Shekara's culinary skills truly shone. I can't recommend their Sri Lankan dishes highly enough.

I had a lovely stay at Queensland Hotel, which is a family-owned gem with spacious rooms and cozy blankets to help combat the chill from the shower rains. The location is a bit of a trek from the town center, which made it challenging during wet weather.
