Laughing Leopard Hostel - Nuwara Eliya

Met amazing people and had a great time socializing. The staff here was incredibly helpful and made me feel like part of a family. The food provided, both breakfast and dinner, was excellent and authentic. The hostel had a lovely garden and a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The location was convenient, with nearby attractions such as Lovers Leap and Pedro tea estate. , the town was within walking distance, making it easily accessible.

The kitchen needed better maintenance as the plates and cups were not stored properly, attracting flies. there were occasional water cuts in the area, resulting in limited access to showers, toilets, and the kitchen.

Clean and new accommodation with friendly staff. Easy to connect with other travelers. Delicious Sri Lankan food. Lovely garden with plenty of seating. Spacious and comfortable private room.

I had a wonderful weekend stay at a well-located hostel in Sri Lanka! the hostel reminded me of home. The converted colonial bungalow had a cozy and functional atmosphere with lights strung around the roof. The owners created a great vibe with a collection of succulents echoing Nuwara Eliya's greenness. The hostel offered amazing homecooked Sri Lankan food and had light and spacious communal areas. The showers were great, the mattresses were comfortable, and there were power points and reading lamps by each bed. I highly recommend this hostel!
