we had an amazing stay at Chamodya and would recommend it to all travelers out there! the location is perfect! it looks far from the center but it’s a 5 min walk (which is an amazing experience) along the train rails. the view at breakfast is stunning! we wanted to support a local family (not only a big hotel or chain) and would definitely do it again! highly recommended.

This place is a GEM. Firstly location is perfect - close to Ella town and the railway track to go to Ella rock. The rooms are huge and clean and the view from them is unbeatable. The hosts are lovely people who make the best breakfast! Ask for the egg hopper - it’s outstanding. Definitely the best hotel we’ve stayed at possibly ever - such great value for money!

Lovely host family that made our stay really enjoyable. They gave us tips on hikes and served delicious Sri Lankan breakfast every morning. The view from our room was stunning. The area was calm but only a short walk from the centre.

Our stay at Chamodya has been absolutely amazing! Lilu and everyone surrounding the place have been extremely kind and helpful all the time. The rooms have been very clean and well equipped. The terrace had one of the most beautiful views we’ve seen in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was the best we had on our trip! The place is located only a 10 minutes walk to the main street of Ella. At night times we preferred a Tuktuk which was about 500 LKR (1,50€). Also, Lilu was so kind to arrange us a Tuktuk whenever we needed one to do activities like a sunrise hike to Little Adam‘s Peak. We can not recommend Chamodya enough and would come again in a heartbeat!

a lovely stay with a lovely welcoming family who helped us with our onward journey. The views from the room and breakfast area were incredible. Breakfast was so good with coconut pancakes, fresh fruit and juice and eggs. the room and balcony were both very spacious. it is only a ten minute walk in to Ella along the train track. thank you for our stay!

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! Great location, quite and away from the loud towncenter - and it's just a short lovely walk on the traintracks into town. Everything was clean and comfortable. It has the nicest view in Ella too!

Amazing view! The best view we had on our whole trip. Located in a beautiful spot looking over the mountains. The host lady was kind and very attentive. And the room was exactly what we needed from our stay in Ella. Would highly recommend : )
