Glenloch Tea Factory Hotel

On an official tour, I accompanied a friend, his wife, and Bill, along with my wife, to Pussellawa. Since our mission there was scheduled to end late in the evening, we needed to find nearby accommodation. After searching online, we chose the Glen Loch Factory Hotel despite its mixed reviews, primarily due to its proximity to our location. We arrived late 9th May late in the evening amid a heavy downpour. The staff, with their broad smiles, welcomed us warmly and ensured we were well-sheltered from the rain. From the moment we arrived, it was a comfortable experience. Lal, the manager, along with his assistant Hapeer, handled our registration efficiently. Periyaakka and Yamuna escorted us to our rooms, which were very clean and cozy. Periyaakka took our dinner orders, serving us a delightful meal of hot pol rotty, katta sambol, chicken curry, and an excellent cup of authentic tea on time. The next morning began with a call for bed tea, reminiscent of the grand tea services from years past, with its unmatched taste, color, and aroma. After a fulfilling breakfast of tasty hoppers prepared by Periyakka, Ms. Shiva led us on a complimentary factory tour. She expertly guided us through the A – Z of the tea industry, culminating in another superb cup of tea. For anyone wanting to spend a night in the upcountry, don’t miss the Glen Loch Tea Factory Hotel. It offers a genuinely homely a**osphere with sincere, friendly service—truly the epitome of value for money."

It seemed the staff didn't know what to do when I arrived. I think this hotel is slowly coming back after covid. But I ended up really enjoying my stay here. I had to mention about getting meals. So they just turned up and cooked the meals at the times I wanted. I was always the only one at the restaurant and the meals were delicious and true Sri Lankan style. I recon this hotel will come back to it's former glory eventually. Amazing views amongst the tea fields.

Recently stayed at this budget hotel near Ramboda for a hiking trip. Overall, it was a decent experience. The staff, though friendly, seemed inexperienced in hospitality. The basic yet tasty food was a plus, but the washroom cleanliness fell short, and there was a stain on the bed sheets. Despite these drawbacks, it's a suitable option for a budget stay, especially if you're focused on exploring the hiking trails in Ramboda. The foot massager in the room was a plus!!
