Clean - Comfy Bed - Great Food

Stayed in June 2024

The hair dryer was very weak and barely dried my hair. Coupled with the high humidity of the area, we woke up with damp hair. My room had no shower curtain so there were wet floors - however, a pair of slippers were provided for use in the toilet. The room had a double and single bed - however, the single bed did not have a blanket and the pillow was without its cover. Pillow issue easily resolved by swapping with the ones on the double bed. Blanket was promptly provided once requested. Due to the location of my room, loud road noise can be heard at night. Loads of mosquitoes in cafeteria, especially at night.

Very near starting point for Sri Pada/ Adam's Peak hike. Warm, sincere, friendly and very helpful owners (Ruwan and wife) who ensured we arrived safely by waiting for us until 1030pm and contacting us in advance. Ruwan brought us to see a beautiful waterfall within a tea estate via tuk tuk (for a fee) - the scenery and fresh air ticked all the boxes. Ruwan also provided us with tips regarding viewing of the passing train at the 9 Arch Bridge at Ella (train passes around 1230-1245 as of May 2024). Had 3 meals there and everything was made from scratch, mostly yummy - do order the food in advance to avoid a long waiting time. The view from the room and cafeteria of the forest foliage was very calming and pretty. Soft and fluffy blanket. There were side tables and electrical points next to every bedside, which was convenient. Mosquito nets cover every opening to the room so there was no worry about being bitten inside. Even the gap of the door was plugged. Cooling weather, did not have a/c or fan but no issues falling asleep.

It’s the Perfect Location to do the Adams Peak! Also, the Hotel Managers are so lovely and helpful - they brought us to the Hatton Train Station to catch the Train to Ella and to a nice look out point!

The accommodation is new and clean. The staff took us by his tuk tuk to the start of Adams peak trail. They also sent a tuk tuk for us to the Hatton train station.

No real complaints!

It’s only a little place, on the side of a hill on the main road but our hosts were lovely, the room surpassed our expectations and the food was wonderful.

Breakfast is not included, but you can get one in the restaurant above after your return.

Luminous room. Nice view to adams peak. Good place to start the hike to Sri Pada. Late checkout, so you can relax after you return in the morning. Clean.

Noisy during the night due to party close to the hotel. Pretty expensive prices for the food, understandable it is a touristic location.

Great location, helpful staff to give advices on hiking, good homemade food.

Nothing

We stayed in the cabin, it was private and comfortable away from the street and with beautiful views - the monkeys came to visit the balcony! The home cooked food is delicious, on the second night we ventured down the street for dinner but wished we had stayed at waterside.

Nothing.

Ryan was a fantastic host, he made sure we had everything we needed and took us on a beautiful waterfall excursion. His wife cooks great food also! And the setting is magical, on a hill away from the road overlooking a stream, so you can listen to the noises of the jungle at night and wake up to a beautiful sunrise view.

Not the fault of the owner, but somewhere nearby was playing loud party music at night. I don't know if this was maybe because it was Poya? I put in ear plugs and it was fine.

Really close to the start of the Adam's Peak trail. We were lucky and got put in a brand new cabin room as the room we booked had a problem. The cabin room was lovely! Strongly recommend. The restaurant on site makes delicious food. The view is wonderful, and the sound of the river is very relaxing. The guy who runs the place is super helpful. Thank you!

Everything was great :)

We stayed for 2 nights pre and post hike up Adams Peak. Our hosts were very kind and welcoming. The food was delicious, some of the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka so far.. we ate every meal in their restaurant during our stay (I’m still thinking about the dhal)! The room was comfortable, clean and shared the same breathtaking views as the restaurant. Rowun was very knowledgable and shared lots of information about the hike and our onward trip to Ella, he drove us safely to Hatton train station from the accommodation. I would suggest travelling to and from the accommodation with a driver who knows how to navigate the winding, uneven roads! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay, this place is perfect for anyone climbing Adams peak.

If you're looking for a place to stay while visiting Adams Peak, this is it! My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights, and it was by far the best place we've stayed in Sri Lanka. Friendly owners who make delicious food, a lovely room, and only a few hundred metres away from the start of the hike. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner here everyday (as it was incredible) and the owner even took us to Hatton Station and made sure we got safely to Ella. Highly recommend for anyone hiking Adams Peak - it's perfect 🙏

What a great experience, the room was spacious, super clean and very cozy. I also really liked the hot shower and finally someone that included a wiper with a rubber lip to dry the floor over taking a shower. We also had a nice view on Adam’s peak from our room and balcony. We really couldn’t have asked for a better accommodation to spend 3 nights and do our hike up Adam’s Peak which is in walkable distance. On the other day we rent a scooter organized by the owner. Last but not least the food is just excellent and you have to try their Dhal! Thank you for hosting us and we would come back anytime!

Hosts were helpful when we got sick from food poisoning. We had to spent there more days, because of that. On first night we had dinner there and on arrival they gave us tea. We are not sure if this has cause food poisoning or something else that we had somewhere else before.

If you are going to stay 1 or 2 nights and climb Adam’s Peak, I think you should pick a good host rather than just a good place. Ruwan provided very useful tips for us and answered all our questions. Most importantly the tuktuk drive felt so safe both from and to the train station. He even made a quick change when we decided to catch the earlier train and he was ready to drive us there right away🙌🏽 Strongly recommended ✌🏼
