"I had booked this hotel for one night on 13th Feb 2020. We had come to Nallathaniya only to climb the Adam's Peak. We were to arrive in the evening, stretch out a bit, spend the night climbing Adam's peak and check out after breakfast. As we were to spend just a few hours at the hotel, all that we expected was a decent room with a clean functional bathroom. Alas! we were in for a huge disappointment. The room allotted to us was a tiny hole in the wall kind of room with just two beds,no chair...

Slightly Chilled Yellow House

3.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (13)
"There is a lot to like about the Slightly Chilled Yellow House. The staff was excellent - very knowledgeable and eager to accommodate any request. Breakfasts were very good and plentiful. The location is great - just 500m to the start of the Adam’s Peak trail. And there are other walks through tea plantations right out the door. The room was generally fine, though felt a bit tired - not run down, just not crisp. It also smelled musty."

"Amazing value for money! Pleasant helpful staff. Food varied according to chef from superb (We had one of the best meals of our trip here) to slightly disappointing, food cool, sandwiches a bit curly. Handy location for Ratnapura and its busy gem dealers. Wifi fine, though no pool. Photos of activities slightly naughty as they are not on site or within walking distance. We had a very pleasant stay here."

"After you leave the main road to, literally, dive onto this hotel on a 45 or so degrees slope, you'll find yourself in a tiny combe crossed by the river flowing from the top of the main mountain: Sri Pada a.k.a. Adam's Peak. Legend has it that some vehicles are no longer able to climb it back and are consequently stuck there for ever. Why did you come here? Well, to climb that peak, of course! What else?
