A calm cottage with a beautiful environment. Rooms were exceptional, and so were the dinner and breakfast. Yummy food and cozy rooms. Would recommend and would love to come again.

The room is great. Modern for Sri Lankan standards and the bed is very comfortable. Also a warm shower and even a fridge in the room! Everything was very comfortable, you are a bit away from the busy party vibes from Ella but close enough to walk there. Also a bit closer to Little Adam’s Peak, which is great if you want to get up early for the sunrise. Highly recommend this accommodation for couples. Breakfast made by the hostess was delicious and a lot. She doesn’t speak English but with some signs we kind of understood each other. Otherwise just use the message function so she can use google translate.

Don’t under estimate this place. Room had everything one might need including one of the comfiest beds and powerful showers so far in Sri Lanka. The room we stayed in had a fantastic view of Ella rock and a waterfall. It’s a very easy walk into Ella along the rail way tracks (this is normal in Ella I promise). Staff wanted to do as much as they could to make the stay at the hotel and time in Ella as enjoyable as possible.

The owner Andy and his Wife were absolutely amazing. They helped with all concerns we had and the breakfast was very good. He also has a tuktuk and took us to some attractions around Ella for way cheaper than the local tuktuk drivers would. We would come back every time!

Clean and well-maintained room. Mosquito nets for each bed and towels available. The owner very welcoming and helpful, the breakfasts good, plentiful and varied. We also took advantage of the option to dine in the guest house: also good and plentiful meals. The guest house is in a very strategic location: 5 minutes walk from the center and the train station (so out of the chaos but very convenient).

    we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

    Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient

    nice host surely there would be a charming view, unfortunately there was heavy fog during our stay you could hear music and parties in the city center but it was quiet in the hotel :))
