“Quite place to stay just off the main strip”
Hotel is in a good location, a short walk (or tuk tuk ride) from the main strip in Ella, it’s therefore close enough to the action but also quiet. The room was modern and clean. We had a front facing room with a balcony which had lovely views of the mountains. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had to leave early one morning for one of our activities and they made us the tastiest scrambled egg sandwiches we had the entire trip plus fruit which we particularly appreciated given we had a toddler to feed.

“Great views and lovely staff”
This property is really well located for staying in Ella, walkable into town and not far from the sights. The staff and owner are lovely and really helpful. I really enjoyed the pancakes and tea on arrival and the breakfasts. The view from our room of Ella gap was amazing. The accommodation is done up to a very standard and the staff go out of their way to help you with things like fresh tea when you would like it. I understand people’s comments about this property that it doesn’t have a standard bar or chill area like hotels do but despite this, it’s a lovely place to be. It only has 6 rooms so it’s more like a boutique guest house. What you are paying for is the excellent service and view and the location

The ladies who run the hotel are so friendly and hospitable, it's a real hime away from home. Breakfast is exceptional and our hosts insisted on providing us lunch one day as well, which was delicious and very generous. The hotel is an easy walk from the centre of Ella and is quiet and peaceful, with a beautiful garden and gorgeous views. It was a highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka

“Really enjoyed our stay in Ella. Simple but comfortable place, made by the view across the pretty garden to Ella Rock an”
An easy short walk (along the road) into Ella village - just a few minutes, making this convenient. Yet it’s also away from most of the noise and activity - quite peaceful. Lovely, kind staff (thanks again ladies!). Good (and very generous!) breakfast, including packing up some things when we left very early on our last day. Enjoyed the views to Ella Peak, and spotting monkeys and mongoose crossing the pretty garden, as well as seeing the birds. Comfortable, spacious room, and bathroom was fine. The owner spent time chatting - and giving us useful walking route tips (the main thing we came here to do as part of the huge variety of Sri Lankan experinces - and was well worth it). The Ella area “jungly” hill country scenery and greenery is a highlight.

Great view with a quick walk into busy Ella town. Room super clean and feels freshly renovated. Manager and staff went above and beyond to make our stay one of the best we've had in Sri Lanka

“Stylish, warm welcome, close to town”
Made very welcome. Lovely staff - couldn't be more helpful. Traditional-style, super-clean room with balcony. Traditional furnishings. Great breakfast. Easy walk to town - a few minutes. Private and very little road noise. Easily accessible - many places in Ella are not!

“A comfortable hotel with wonderful staff but unfortunately it is very overpriced.”
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We were offered a pancake and tea when we arrived, which was lovely. The room was comfortable and had a fantastic view. We liked the fact that Ella was just a short walk away.
