The view from our room was spectacular of the waterfall. Sat out on balcony each morning and evening enjoying the view. The Hillcrest is walking distance to town but is on a very steep hill They have Tuk Tuk available for rides into town. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was provided.

Nice hotel with great view to the waterfall and little Adam’s peak. The rooms are spacious, clean and nice. The balcony was big. If they did a little more effort with decorating the balcony and had some nicer furniture out there, it would be even greater. But great value for the money.

If you want stunning views of waterfalls to wake up to then this is the place. It’s a white knuckle tuk tuk ride to the property but very worth it. The property is under new ownership and they are modernising with better amenities (cocktail bar, pool tables etc ). The owner cannot do enough for you. They have their own tuk tuk in to town for 500rk. Expect to pay 500-1000 back.

Stunning views, especially of the waterfall. Spacious and clean room. Our balcony was extra large! They served a very delicious breakfast for a good price. We actually enjoyed it more than when we ate in town. The internet was a problem though, it did not work or was so slow it was unusable, but thankfully we had a hot spot to take video calls for work. Would definitely recommend as long as you don’t need internet.

The view from the room balcony was beautiful. The breakfast was very mediocre, not warm and very appetising. No variety at all. The road really worried us. Staff were ok, but really not a quality hotel.

スタッフは笑顔を絶やさず、親切丁寧で非常に気持ちよく過ごせました。翌日のナインアートブリッジへのタクシー手配も速やかで、朝早い時間でしたが、丁寧な安全運転のドライバーが来てくれて助かりました。 ホテルの場所は、急な坂道を下ったところなので、大きなクルマはなかなか入れないかもしれませんが、窓からの景色は本当に絶景で、地球にこんな場所があるのか、と、息を呑みました。

A vista é a melhor. Dá para ver as colinas, a fonte e o trem a partir da varanda. A vista é panorâmica. O banheiro tem uma janela da qual você pode apreciar a paisagem pitoresca. As camas são confortáveis. A área de jantar é muito agradável — e também é possível admirar a vista desse espaço.

Très bel hôtel sur les hauteurs de la ville, personnel serviable. Magnifique vue sur les montagnes. Chambre avec belle terrasse Un peu éloigné de la ville, il faut prendre un tuktuk, cependant l'hôtel nous a proposé leur service. Et la ville est très animée et très sympa.
