Hi,
Does anyone know the name of an old colonian hotel, situated near a racecourse & if have stayed there, any info. please.
Many thanks,

That sounds like Ceybank Rest (which used to be the Heritage Hotel) at Nuwara Eliya:

Reviews (very mixed) here:

(One of them recommends the rooms overlooking the racecourse and the map on the right of that page confirms the hotel's proximity to the course).

I`ve stayed at Ceybank Rest. I think it used to be the Governer`s mansion. I don`t remember a racecourse but I was only passing through and stayed just one night. I remember it as looking lovely from the outside but a bit dated inside. It was perfectly acceptable for the £10 pppn we paid and the breakfast and tea was good. There are lots of old colonial hotels in Sri Lanka though. Do you mean the Galle Face Hotel? That is a fairly well known old colonial place. I stayed there as well. 'Faded Glory' is how I would describe it but lovely and atmospheric.

If I didn`t touch type, I would look at the keys and realise that I should have spelled `Governor`s` correctly. Anyway, is this your hotel?

What a difference 10 years makes (which is how long it`s been since I have stayed there)
