The hotel is perfectly located with a direct view on Ella Rock. It s 5 min walking distance from everything you want in the city center. The service was impeccable and the food very tasty. We loved the breakfast (fresh tea, pancakes, eggs, fruits, sri lankan food as well) and the food in general (curry ordered for dinner was excellent). You can do yoga classes, massages, access the pool, enjoy your balcony. We recommend 100%.

The view is amazing. The hotel is brand new and thr hosts are amazing. It is a bir far from the main road, but it means you have silence and can relax, plus the view is great being on top of the hills. The free shuttle to the town and from the town everytime you need it is amazing. The host even prepared take-away breakfast for us because we left very early in the morning. Would recommend 100% to stay here if you are coming to Ella.

Beautiful family homestay with the privacy of a hotel room. Amazing private balcony views. The rooms are clean and the shower is hot. Breakfast is being brought up to your balcony and was plenty. The host picked us up from the station and took time to explain the surrounding area and was just really helpful all round, spoke perfect English. We felt very welcome.

It’s beautiful and neat. The food was delicious.The location is situated close to a few activities like Little Adam’s Peak, Ravana Club and the zip line. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They even decorated our bed and made a special cake for our anniversary. They go the extra mile. Really an amazing place, highly recommended!

A naturally beautiful place spoilt by tacky shops,bars and tourists. Didn't help that it was grey and damp. The station is lovely and the short ride to Badulla worth it. The tea factory visit overpriced but if you get the right guide, worth it. Tuk tuks here are a rip off.

I did not like Ella. Too touristy, too expensive, maybe if it had been sunny, it would have been different. For people who are used to traveling, for people above 50 yo, there are other places to go.

One of the best little towns to spend a quiet holiday. Ambience and the vibe is great and it never fails to amaze me. There are so many places to see and one trip is never enough as there are man hidden gems to discover. I have been there over 5-6 times but I think there are more places for me to discover. Food is great and people are very friendly.

Vibrant high street with lots of restaurants bars and local shops. Places of interest mini Adam’s peak and 8 Arches bridge. Mainly tourists therefore prices were a little high. However worth a visit and ease of access to other places of interest. Easy to get around walking

We arrived in Ella via a different route than many ( from the west coast) due to weather impacting our plans. We’d experienced real’ Sri Lanka in Negombo, Bentota and Haputale, and on our journey in to the hills through Ratnapura. If we’re honest, arriving in Ella felt like arriving in a European holiday resort. It lacked authenticity and burgers and pizzas are all the thing. Take your time to seek out the Sri Lankan restaurants to get a true experience. Having said that the tourist sights were impressive - even if they were over run with instagrammers!

This hotel is a complete find! We were signposted to this hotel by our driver whilst in Sri Lanka and it had the most phenomenal views we have ever seen, completely breathtaking! The accommodation is basic, however immaculately clean and comfortable. This is the best resting stop after a day exploring Ella. Incredible value for money. Breakfast isn't included but their is a great cafe for breakfast at the entrance to the hotel track

Stunning view and so peaceful - nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Ella town. Lying in the nets while the trains go past is a real luxury. The family who own the property are lovely and go above and beyond to assist. The breakfast is also delicious and plentiful. Loved our stay here.
