Tout était très bien , seul point négatif , mal insonorisé , les deux nuits passés réveillé par le voisin qui était au téléphone sur sa terrasse , forte résonance malgré les portes et rideaux fermer ..
景色の良さ。マネージャーの気遣いと優しさ。キッチンのスタッフ達の丁寧さがとても良かったです。
駐車場に難がありました。
- emplacement en hauteur, très belle vue, à 5mn en tuktuk du centre ville bien animée - la vue des chambres wow!! - personnel agréable et réactif aux demandes
Could be more maintained and kept up a bit more
Free upgrade on arrival as the top floor was free, he gave us the option of the two rooms and we choose with no hidden costs. It's high up the hill from Ella and has the most amazing view. we walked up Ella rock from here too.
I expected a bit more space on the exterior of the hotel from the images, it isn't a large space and wouldn't fit much more than two cars and two tuk tuks.
La vista era bellissima
La posizione non era comoda e bisogna passare da una discarica di spazzatura per raggiungerlo Inoltre la comunicazione non è il loro punto forte, da un mese chiedo la fattura e nessuno risponde
Great breakfast
Fantastic view. great breakfast. Very friendly staff.
Balcony swimming chair enjoy the view. A highly recommended 👌
View from room 👌
La gente del hotel y el desayuno
Pequeña habitación
Near to town
Dirty n maintain at all , run down
El dueño del hotel nos sirvió un desayuno fantástico. Fueron muy amables buscandonos tuk tuk y con las maletas. aunque está un poco apartado del centro pero en 2 minutos estas con un tuk tuk y estas apartado del bullicio para dormir y descansar bien.
Todo bien,
Wir hatten ein Zimmer in der obersten Etage. Das Badezimmer war wie neu, wir hatten einen tollen Ausblick auf Ella Rock. Der Balkon war recht groß und es gab dort kein Ungeziefer. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und die Angestellten alle sehr freundlich. Es gab sogar einen neuen Aufzug in die oberste Etage. Direkt schräg gegenüber gab es ein sehr gutes Restaurant.
The views of the mountains are just amazing! Very friendly staff. Also nice breakfast!
A bit far from town (500-700LKR per tuktuk ride) but we mostly walked down which isn’t too bad. The bathroom smelled a little bit, but didn’t bother our stay
Onze eerste standaard kamer bleek zonder airco, wat we op zich geen probleem vonden. De eigenaar liet ons de deluxe kamer zien en we konden zonder problemen upgraden. De bedden zijn lekker zacht, de douche is warm en goede wifi op de kamer. Het uitzicht op Ella Rock is geweldig! De eigenaar en personeel is enorm behulpzaam en regelde tuktuks, excursies en gaf tips om te doen. We heen er 4 dagen heel fijn gezeten
Je hebt echt een tuktuk nodig om naar het centrum te komen, lopen is echt wel steil, maar je bent er dan ook met 5 minuten.
Instalaciones cómodas
Está cerca de un basurero, la llegada es desagradable. Habían obras en frente del hotel que molestaban. Al hacer el ck out había una persona molesta por pagar 85€ por una habitación similar a la nuestra, nosotros pagamos 25€ por el precio que pagamos esta bien, no más.
Location
Good and comfortable stay. The view was good from the breakfast place. The staff was kind. The breakfast was good with a lot of Sri Lankan specialities. We enjoyed our stay here and recommend it.
The views are stunning, looking over the best views in Ella. Amazing to have a balcony to experience the views. Rooms are comfortable, bathroom was clean and functional. Lift very helpful to get bags up the stairs.
Location is up a very steep hill, cars had to drop us at the bottom but the staff were very helpful with bags so this was fine. Based slightly out of town so have to get transport in, tuk tuks are easy to navigate. Had to pay in cash as card machine wasn't working. Rustic breakfast and communal areas.
Una bellissima vista ed una buona posizione. Le camere sono ben arredate . Il proprietario ci ha fatto cambiare con una camera con una vista migliore della camera scelta, in quanto era libera . Colazione abbondante e ricca (anche per vegetariani)
Nulla.
El personal amabilísimo. Nos ofrecieron una habitación superior por el mismo precio. Las vistas son excelentes y la cama muy cómoda
Extremely friendly, attentive and lovely staff and team!
La vue
La décoration
The view from the rooms is beautiful.
Family hotel, the manager is very unfriendly and the service is poor. The bed linen and towels are not clean and worn - washed by hand and hung to dry on the roof, the room is dirty, there was a leak in the toilet. There is no hot water, when we told the hotel owner he didn't care at all. Breakfast is served in dishes that are not pleasant to eat in. Not all rooms have air conditioning. The hotel is far from the center and there are no restaurants nearby. Definitely not a 4-star hotel!!!
Die Fotos Spiegeln nicht die Realität wieder. Alles wirkt sehr dunkel, veraltet und billig. Uns wurde bei Ankunft unsere Zimmer gezeigt, was der absolute Horror war, dunkel und Fenster war Richtung Küche. Natürlich hatten wir die Möglichkeit ein teureres Zimmer zunehmen! Die billigen Zimmer sind nicht wohnbar! Das Frühstück haben wir garnicht erst probiert. Es wirkte etwas unhygienisch. Wenn man das Hotel toll findet und buchen möchte, dann wegen der wahnsinnigen tollen Aussicht. Dann muss man aber ein teurer neues Zimmer buchen.Der Rest ist es nicht wert. Zu Fuss ist man in 20-30min Bergabwärts in Ella. War schwierig ein tuktuk zu finden. In Ella verlangen sie unmöglich hohe tuktuk Preise, die tuktuk fahrer sind sehr unhöflich, wenn man nicht für 3min Fahrt 10,- doller zahlen möchte!
We kregen direct een upgrade bij aankomst naar wat luxere kamers. De kamers zijn erg netjes. Mooi uitzicht richting little adams peak en ella rock. Super vriendelijke staf.
Ze zijn momenteel aan het bouwen recht voor het hotel, dat oogt wat minder fraai. Ook wel logisch want wat er staat is wel wat gedateerd. Het ontbijt is niet zo goed als op andere plekken waar we zijn geweest. En om naar t centrum te komen heb je eigenlijk wel een tuktuk of busje nodig qua afstand.
It was the best view ever balcony was big and clean nice view
Breakfast options are not good and without swimming pool Room service option
Great balcony area with amazing views. All staff were very friendly and helpful and good breakfast spread each morning. Arranged tuk tuks when needed, whether for going down to Ella town or for any excursions. We also used laundry service and was very quick.
Nothing would definitely recommend.
The view from the room balcony is great. We liked the nice breakfast (hoppers, omelette, fruits, etc.) and room was comfortable (large bed, large bathroom). The staff was friendly.
Das Hotel ist außerhalb von Ella. Die Auffahrt zum Hotel war ebenfalls sehr spannend. Fotos und Realität stimmen nicht überein. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein. Der Ausblick aus einem der Zimmer war auf ein Blechdach, das zweite Zimmer lag ein Stockwerk höher und war schöner. Sauberkeit im Hotel könnte ebenfalls besser sein. Wir haben nach langer Diskussion das Hotel storniert. Da das Hotel keine Kartenzahlung akzeptierte und daher eine Stornierung über meine, bei Booking.com hinterlegte Kreditkarte nicht möglich sei und mussten 80€ Storno zahlen. Am nächsten Tag kam eine Info von Booking, dass eine kostenfreie Stornierung akzeptiert wird.
Property is not really accessible. our driver was not able to come to the gate and parked nearby from where we had to climb. Lack of staff to respond to any request during stay - only one manager/owner seems to be trying to do everything. so its more like staying in someone's mult-room house than a proper 3 star property.

Everything was excellent
View and kind personnel

Le petit déjeuner excellent ! La vue de la chambre sur la vallée d’Ella !
Équipement ancien . Et propreté de la chambre non optimal.
Las vistas y que la cama era muy cómoda y dormimos genial.
El desayuno no acabó de gustarnos mucho.
Manzara muhteşem
Merkeze çok uzak.
El desayuno es increíble y las vistas son preciosas. Los trabajadores del hotel son majisimos!!
Das Hotel ist sehr schön. Wir haben ein kostenloses Upgrade beim Check-in erhalten und durften im neu gebauten 3. Stock, mit unglaublich schönem Ausblick auf den Ella Rock schlafen. Es war sauber. Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet. Der Balkom war sehr schön und geräumig. Der Hotelchef hat uns sehr geholfen. Wir konnten einen Roller mieten und den Wäscheservice in Anspruch nehmen. Alles zu gängigen, fairen Preisen. Zudem half er uns, unsere Tage vor Ort sinnvoll zu strukturieren und zu planen. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und reichlich. Wir können das Hotel nur weiterempfehlen und würden jedes mal wieder hier schlafen. Es war ein rundun sehr schöner Aufenthalt.

Het ontbijt was gevarieerd en het personeel vriendelijk.
Het uitzicht. We hadden ook een andere kamer dan gevraagd. Alles was wat verouderd. Zo was de kussensloop gescheurd, viel de elektriciteit regelmatig uit, was de douchekop aan vervanging toe. Men rekent teveel aan hoor dergelijke accommodatie.
Great view, wonderful breakfeast, fantastic family owners
The room was beautiful. The view was great. The breakfast was excellent.
Breakfast was very bad
The location was quite good, nice view! And that’s about it
This hotel is NOT like in the pictures. I have no idea how this hotel has barely- to no bad reviews. We arrived at the hotel and were a bit skeptical when the hotel lobby didn’t look proper. Then we went to our rooms, to find it looking NOTHING like in the pictures. The WiFi wasn’t bad, because it didn’t work at all! And the receptionist said it was because we had an iPhone and not a Samsung, which is sheer nonsense. Then, like any person who WANTED to enjoy their stay in Sri Lanka, we decided to pack our stuff and go to another hotel. The worker demanded money, about paying 50% of our stay, which is understandable. But he became more welcoming afterwards and it’s alright if he needed some money. But if you’re planning on staying, maybe do that for ONE night only. No more than that
Views were amazing. Lovely gardens and staff were very welcoming. They accommodated our requests for specific breakfast. Had a lovely stay. This property has a lift which is a massive plus. 😀
المكان مصمم بطريقه رائعه الاطلاله خلابه الوصول للفندق صعب بصراحه الموظفين خدومين وأخلاقهم عاليه أعطوني 2 سرير اكسترا بدون مقابل واعطونا ايسكريم ايضاً وقهوه بدون مقابل سويت يوقا معاهم في الصباح وكانت من أروع بصراحه
النحل في الليل شي لا يطاق ومخيف
La amabilidad de la familia Desayuno muy abundante Vistas desde la habitacion Nos hicieron un upgrade gratuito
El baño es un poco sucio
Beautiful room with a serene view. What a treat to wake up to every morning! The staff were all beautiful and always there to assist and help arrange everything!
Great location high in the mountains for an exceptional view over Ella. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and tidy. Bed was comfortable with a balcony to enjoy the view. You’ll need to grab a tu tuk for a 2 minute ride into Ella. We would happily stay again and recommend for others.
We had the best stay! The rooms were exactly like the photos, they were clean and beautifully maintained. The view from the balcony was absolutely incredible. The property is a little outside of town, which makes it peaceful and relaxing. It's not within walking distance from the town but it's perfect if you have transport or don't mind a quick tuk-tuk ride. The staff were so kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our two-night stay. We would definitely recommend staying here!
The location and view
Not applicable
Property and rooms were good . View from rooms is very good . Mountain View
In morning water came out in the room probably from the mini fridge . Whole room got wet . There were lot of ants in the washroom which made t little uncomfortable
Really nice staff
Really nice place to stay. Views are amazing. Great place to relax.
It’s comfortable. Breakfast is good. Staff is good
It’s not a 4-star hotel as advertised. Towels are bad quality, room doors don’t close properly, rooms are smaller than advertised. Laundry services shrank some of our clothes, even when asking for cold washing (which was obviously not done)
La vue est magnifique c’est le point fort de cet hôtel. Le personnel est chaleureux et au petit soin, ça fait vraiment plaisir.
Les draps étaient tachés et je dirais qu’il faudrait rafraîchir le bâtiment ou la déco…
Çalışanlar çok güleryüzlü ve yardımseverdi.balkonumuzun manzarası çok güzeldi.Kahvaltısını da beğendik.
Petit déjeuner très copieux ! Personnel accueillant ! Bon rapport qualité prix
Room service que je n’ai jamais eu et j’ai du sortir jusqu’au centre ville avec la fatigue.
Erg goed hotel!! Heel goed geholpen door alle lieve mensen van het hotel, hun zorgde ervoor dat het een erg fijn verblijf was! Prachtige kamer met uitzicht over de bergen! Het ontbijt is perfect! Elke dag weer wat anders maar allemaal even smaakvol! De porties zijn voldoende! Ella ligt in de buurt maar omdat het hotel wat hoger ligt, hebben wij elke keer een tuktuk gepakt! Het hotel regelde dit voor ons of reden zelf als het uitkwam!
Niets, hoezo 4 sterren..
Vieze badkamer, geen airco
Room given was different from what was booked way dirty
Pathetic washroom , mattress ,sheets were dirty ,walls were so stained
Our family stay experience was good overall. The only issue was the limited basic restaurant options nearby, and at night the area becomes very dark with many stray dogs around, making it difficult to go outside, especially with kids. Other than that, everything was okay.

El servicio del señor del hotel fue impecable. Nos ayudó con todas las maletas y hasta nos lavó la ropa. Nos dejó cambiarnos a una habitación mejor por el mismo precio. Súper recomendable sin duda.
Está un poco a desmano del centro del pueblito, pero sin duda merece la pena desviarte 5 minutos. Las vistas son espectaculares.
The room was good, breakfast was outstanding for the price of the room, breakfast was very very good.
Location but away from all the cafes. Entry to hotel was a bit sloppy. But overall the stay was best value for money.
View is great
Not clean breakfast just okay
Breakfast was very nice Amazing property staff and owners were lovely. Breakfast was fantastic! Thank you very much
Property is up hill but 10/15 mins from city centre
