Evertlything about this place was to our satisfaction. Comfortable bed,pillow and quietness.The room though not big was spacious enough and we didn't feel cramped.The breakfast was excellent and varied and seved on the balcony at your convenince where you can enjoy the most awesome scenic view of the mountains. It truly is a wonderful sight even on a cloudy day. The staff too were eceptionally friendly and helpful and assisted us on a few occasions. The location too is very convenient for town and 9 arch bridge and little Adam's peak are both within walking distance. This place really suited our needs perfectly and as we plan to visit Ella again we are sure to stay here. Well done to the management of this place for giving their guests excellent value for money.

Can highly recommend this place! Sri Lankan people are friendly, but this is next level. Super friendly host and his family. The view from our reading nook is terrific, better than the nine arches itself. It’s a spacious room, with a Beamer to watch TV during the rain, and very good bathroom. Part of their service is the outstanding breakfast, served one level below, looking out over the valley. It may be located a bit further from the city center, but they offered to drive us anywhere any time with the TukTuk for low rates, did our laundry, and arranged our taxi for tomorrow for a price we couldn’t arrange for ourselves. Long story short, I highly recommend this place!

The location—and especially the view—is stunning. The owner is an incredible lady: so friendly, so helpful. I was bitten by a leech, and she took such great care of me, even bandaging the wound herself. The breakfast was full of delicious goodies and easily the best we had in Sri Lanka. I don’t have enough words to describe the amazing food and the warmth of the host. The room was clean and located on the main street. You might hear some noise at night, but nothing that disturbs your sleep. It’s a bit far from the city center, but that’s not an issue—tuk-tuks are easy to get and very affordable. The bed was big and comfortable, and the view from the room was breathtaking. Overall, it was such a beautiful experience. I truly recommend this place. Communication was easy, and it was actually the most well-equipped room we had: fridge, free water, toothbrushes, even sanitary pads for ladies. The host was so thoughtful—when we left, she gave us snacks for the road. Big thank you!

It was very clean affordable and had a very good breakfast. The staff was really friendly. The location is very good and it’s walking distance to both nine arch and mini adams peak

For what you pay, it’s a brilliant deal. Good location - few mins walk from Ella town, laundry for cheap on site, very helpful staff and clean sheets and fairly comfy beds.

Very friendly service, clean rooms, and very clean bathrooms. Highly Recommended. Even though we arrived late at night, they were up and waiting for us. Provided us with dinnerware on request. Gave us advice and directions to the best location to visit at ella and directed us towards the best deals at restaurants at ella Town.

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
