Right upon our arrival we were impressed by the beautiful and lovely maintained garden. In combination with the very pretty hotel itself, it made us feel a little royal immediately. We also loved the spacious room and especially the big and very comfortable bed. We enjoyed the silence at the hotel, although you’re right in the middle of everything (Victoria Park, Post Office, Queen Elizabeth Plaza, etc.). With the help of Front Office Manager Ignatius Xavier we were able to prolong for another night, as we kind of fell in love with this place. On top of that he told us what to do and where to go and how to get there and was available at anytime. Due to the help of Ignatius we had a great time. Thank you once again! We highly recommend to stay at the Royal Cocoon!

Almost not worth mentioning, but the pressure of the shower was quite low. Apart from that it was amazing

Spacious room, with beautiful graden. The staff is amazing.

Perfect

Our stay at Royal Cocoon in Nuwara Eliya was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and looked after better than at any hotel we've ever stayed at. Ignatius and Bavan were incredible — their care, attention, and genuine hospitality made the experience feel like staying at a $1000-a-night hotel. They offered fantastic recommendations for what to do in the area, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The property itself was immaculately maintained, with a spacious, clean room, a very comfortable bed, and great hot water. The location was perfect for walking into the main parts of town. Breakfast was delicious. The true highlight, though, was the people and the personalized service — it turned a great stay into an unforgettable one. Highly recommended!

Nothing. If you're smart you'd book here.

The building is old but nicely renovated, so the atmosphere makes perfect match with the old British town, so you can feel yourself in the beginning of 20th century. There are very few rooms, so there is a feeling of home, not a hotel. At the same time visitors can easily avoid company of strangers because of many different common locations inside the main building and surrounding territory. But one of the main attractions is The Chef — not only the food is beautiful, but his individual approach to all the visitors and fantastic experience with different cuisines make the whole stay one of the most exquisite in the Island which is especially nice to have in the old fashioned Nuwaraeliya Location - easy to get to Victoria park, post office and old Gran Hotel. The food and the whole work of the Chef. Atmosphere and the staff friendliness

The floor in the bathroom could be warmer but we stayed on a very cold day.

We were only in Nuwara Eliya one night and stayed at the Royal Cocoon. The hotel only just opened after years of being closed. Getting an 150 year old Dutch colonial manor back to scratch would be hard, but they are doing an excellent job. Rooms are comfortable (best beds I have had all trip). Meals are pre ordered and carefully prepared to suit your tastes. With only 7 rooms, you get very personised service. One table wanted no spice, whereas I want buckets of chilli. Chef Amiz did an amazing job of preparing meals for our dietary requirements (vegan). We had Sri Lankan and Thai foods, and were offered both local and Europeon breakfast options. We are gutted we couldn't do one of Chef Amiz cooking classes as we were only there one night. The hotel manager (I'm so sorry I didn't get your name!), was extremely helpful and kind. He provided excellent advice for our onwould journey. The heater in the room was lovely. Who would of thought Sri Lanka could get so cold!!!

It’s a beautiful property, in wonderfully maintained gardens. Great location, enthusiastic and friendly staff, amazing food, quirky and unique interiors (being updated soon). Good shower, enormous bed, excellent light-blocking curtains, quiet and peaceful. Staff give their all.

The radio and the room spray - but stuff were very obliging regarding both. We are going to stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at the Royal Cocoon. Nice hotel, great room ! We met a very enthusiastic chef cook, Chef Amiz. Hé cooked lovely meals for us, and arranged a cooking class for us. With another couple we made a beautiful curry lunch with his supervision. In the nice garden we ate that, lovely experience. Highly recommend ! Martijn & Rita ( the Netherlands )

The staff were friendly and the rooms were a good size. The location was convenient to walk to Victoria Park. The gardens are beautiful and well looked after.

The rooms were quite dusty and the bathroom smelled unpleasant. There was also quite a lot of mold around the base of the shower.

A colonial bungalow with spacious and clean rooms. Rooms are really nice and cozy. Breakfast was amazing (thanks to the chef) Huge garden that is nicely arranged. Staff were friendly.

Nothing

Everything was great - clean, comfortable hotel with old-time ambiance. The chef was kind enough to invite our 7 year old daughter to help cook our dinner and serve other guests.
