“Stay in Ella”
Excellent views of Nine Arch Bridge from our room and breakfast area, we watched so many trains go by. Hotel is within walking distance to bridge (steep slopes). Uday from the hotel was amazing, he helped bring up our luggage and take it down too by tuk tuk as taxi can't access the property. Room size was perfect for family.

“Awesome”
The view across the valley and to the nine arch bridge is spectacular. Lovely to sit on the balcony and take it all in, monkeys, birds, people walking and working. Sri Lankan breakfast is very good and plenty of it, mixed fruit, Dahl, coconut sambal, roti, omelette, pot of coffee or tea. Western breakfast also available. Room is small but adequate, comfortable bed. What a wonderful chap Udhay is, so helpful, happy, friendly and informative.

“Unbeatable view”
Amazing location in Ella with incredible views of nine arch bridge and very easy access walking to Little Adam’s Peak. We also stayed in main town Ella and this would definitely be our preferred choice - quieter and less hectic. Good restaurants around not far away. Room was spotless and beers in fridge provided for a charge. Tea & coffee complimentary.

“Great location and service”
We highly recommend booking the room with a balcony and a view of the Nine Arch Bridge — the view was absolutely fantastic! We really appreciated the fridge stocked with cold beer (available for an extra charge). After a long and tiring journey, it was the perfect touch. The room itself was okay, although it did get quite chilly on colder days, so it’s worth bringing some warmer clothes. The bathroom was simple but had very hot water, which we really enjoyed. Breakfast was served daily on the terrace and the view from there was simply stunning. We also loved the location — set away from the busy town centre, just a 10 minute walk to the bridge, with several restaurants within walking distance as well. However, what truly deserves special recognition is the service. Udhay was extremely kind and always ready to help with anything we needed. Thank you so much!! We would definitely choose this place again.

“Absolute stunning views and hospitality”
An absolute gem if you like quietness and beautiful scenery. The view from the rooms, the 9 arch bridge and surrounding misty mountains, and breakfast area is absolutely stunning. It seemed the whole family was working there and they were very kind and helpful
