We stayed for 2 nights and had a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to answer our questions and assist us. The view from the balcony was absolutely beautiful, a perfect place to relax. Although the location is a bit far from the city, the property offers its own shuttle service to the center at any time you need, which was very convenient. The only small downside was that the room got a bit chilly in the evenings.

One of the best stays we have ever had! The manager Richard and his stuff were so nice, friendly and helpful. Just ask them and they will instantly help you to make you feel comfortable. The room was super cozy, clean and quiet. Besides the food at the restaurant is amazing too - best Onion Rings and Rice & Curry! Also a banger breakfest. Definitely would come back again! Thanks Richard and team for the lovely time. 10/10 that's for sure!

If you like nature, you have to book this place when you have the chance to! The view is simply amazing, directly looking at nine arches bridge, you can look at trains passing by all day long. The house is high enough that it isn’t too noisy, but close enough to just walk down to the bridge from the house. The view of the trees surrounding the nine arches bridge, for me, is surprisingly even more amazing than the bridge itself. Even though we visit on downpour days, and not possible to stay in the balcony at all times, the house still feels so cozy and the large windows allow us to enjoy the view all the same. The owner himself is also amazing. He took great care of us to ensure we have everything we need, and drove us into town and back to the house. He is always here! The breakfast is Sri Lankan, delicious, and the portion is huge! In fact, the house is one of the highlights of our Sri Lankan trip. Thank you! We hope we will come back some day!

A very nice hotel in Ella. The rooms are large and clean. The manager is extremely friendly and courteous. He always asks if everything is okay and responds immediately to any requests. The breakfast is delicious and offers a wide selection of local and international specialties. The hotel is in a great location. It is secluded, so you can enjoy peace and quiet, but the main street is only a few minutes' walk away. The view is spectacular. We would definitely come back again.

Ella is a great stop if you are heading from Nuwara Eliya to the south. It's mostly a tourist town, not that big. But the town is very organized and picturesque. The Ravana waterfalls is surely going to mesmerize you. And, if you are into hiking, this is a place you must include in your itinerary.

One of our favourite places in SL, had much more of a town feel. It is touristy but just means lots of place to eat. The hikes are amazing and were one of our favourite parts of our trip. Beware the scammers when going up Ella rock - it's a little confusing to find the path and locals will try to lead you away from the main path to 'guide' you

Ella is a wonderful place to explore.

Ella is a wonderful place to explore. It’s very clean and has breathtaking views everywhere. The people are kind, the local food is amazing, and it’s perfect for families, friends, or groups. With easy access to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, and tea plantations, it’s an ideal base for a week of sightseeing and adventure.

Stunning view, amazing hosts and great breakfast! 5 mins by Tuk tuk from the Main Street in Ella where all the restaurants and shops are located. A great point to start all your experiences while in Ella. The host and the entire family are a gem and I highly recommend a dinner there! You can ask to cook with the mum and learn the real Sri Lanka cuisine! Room clean , hot water and comfortable bed. Do not expect anything luxury but a REAL experience!

Gorgeous location and absolutely beautiful buildings. Incredible wildlife; we saw beautiful endemic birds, a lemur and a small wild cat of some kind. Hotel manager was so kind and patient and the breakfasts were the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Top tip, ask him to put you in touch with Sugala, a brilliant tuktuk driver - super reasonable and lovely bloke. Also close to a set of stairs for a challenging but unique entrance to Ella Rock!

Family stay, at a little distance of the center of Ella. In the middle of the jungle, with many bugs. Very simple, don't expect luxury. The owners are very kind and they offer excellent meals. The best dhal I ever got and the same for the curd with treacle.
