One of the most unforgettable stays I've had in my life. The lodge is beautifully nestled in the jungle, yet surprisingly, it's only a 5-minute walk to the city and train station. The room is well-equipped with everything you need, and Angelo, the host, will go out of his way to cater to any special requests you may have. Speaking of Angelo, he's an incredibly kind and helpful soul who embodies the spirit of a perfect host. He makes you feel welcome and at ease with his charming demeanor. His willingness to go the extra mile to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable is truly commendable. If I could, I would book with Angelo exclusively for all my future stays. In short, this lodge is a hidden gem, and I feel fortunate to have experienced it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable stay.

Very pleasant stay in a nice area. Possibilities of nice walks just behind the accommodation (you can go straight towards the Ella rock trail using the path behind the house). Great breakfasts and very nice host. Balcony in close proximity to trees / tree tops was fantastic. Ella is easy to reach by tuk-tuk. Had a good curry for dinner as well. Thanks for everything.

The accommodation is hosted by a lovely family and it is located right in between Little Adams Peak and 9 arches bridge. You can reach both within a 30 minutes walk. Ella town is also just a short walk away, however still far enough away from the busy town to provide a perfectly calm and green/nature environment to relax. Price/Value ratio is amazing.

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
