Alone Cage Ella

L'emplacement, tout est faisable à pied, le pont des 9 arches, le centre ville, la gare et little rock. Chambre très bien équipée, rien ne manque ! Un petit jardin fleuri tout est de plein pied et les hôtes charmants.

Légèrement sombre pour lire.

Un de nos meilleurs logement au Sri Lanka. Localisation parfaite au calme, à proximité du centre-ville, des restaurants et activités. Les propriétaires sont extrêmement gentils et disponibles. Petit déjeuner varié et excellent. La chambre était très propre avec tous les équipements nécessaires, voire plus. Nous nous sommes senties comme à la maison.

Wifi un peu faible Eau tiède dans la douche

La camera e l'attenzione per la colazione

Il monolocale è stupendo, immerso nel verde e con due amache in giardino, lontano dal casino di Ella, che è comunque facilmente raggiungibile in 10 minuti di passeggiata. La colazione è FANTASTICA, buonissima e abbondante, i proprietari sono gentilissimi e disponibili. Se passate da Ella vi consiglio assolutamente di soggiornare qui! Per me, per ora, è stato di gran lunga il migliore alloggio in Sri Lanka

Colazione

Un po’ fuori dal centro, ma raggiungibile con una passeggiata di una ventina di minuti

Great place, the room is beautifuly decorated and all the amenities needed. Private patio/garden which is also lovely. The hosts are really helpful and prepare a delicious breakfast. Really close walking to Ella city centre.

יחידת אירוח מהממת שקטה ונעימה במרחק הליכה קצר ממש מהרחוב הראשי. בדירה יש כל מה שנדרש עם מחשבה על הפרטים הקטנים ביותר. הקשר עם המארחים זמין ונעים. הזמנו ארוחת בוקר שהיתה טרייה וטעימה

המזרן היה קשה מידי לטעמנו

Todo muy bien. Personal muy agradable y habitación muy limpia.

A little removed from Ella (about a 10 minute walk) was a perfect location for a little downtime. It’s right near some good hikes and a great cooking school at the end of the street. The couple who own it are very nice!

Great location Amazing home cooked breakfast The owners are very friendly and helpful, went above and beyond sorting laundry and tv to watch World Cup and gave great recommendations

Highly recommended! Very hospitable and nice to stay & very cozy, near to town 😍 All breakfast were home made and madely fresh.

This little gem felt like a cozy home away from home. The family who run it are absolute rays of sunshine, truly some of the loveliest people we have met in a country filled with lovely people! You can tell how much love and thought they put into it to make sure guests feel comfortable, they had a vanity with mosquito repellent, a first aid kit a hairdryer and backup light incase the power goes out. The aircon was the best aircon we have had on our trip, the water was nice and warm (which we discovered is not very common). The outdoor area was such a lovely place to relax. They even had a big comfy fluffy blanket rather than only a sheet. It truly was such a wonderful place to stay, it felt so safe and was a quick stroll to all the lovely restaurants and bars. I can’t thank these guys enough for being so accomodating and caring. If we return in the future we would love to stay again. Thank you so much.

Spacious, clean and beautifully furnished stay in Ella. A 15-minute walk to Ella’s main street makes this a perfect quiet spot near all the restaurants and shops. The hammock on the terrace is the perfect spot to watch the rain on a rainy afternoon. Waruna and Imali are kind and hospitable, they made me feel right at home. Breakfast was ample and delicious, a different fresh juice every day!

Room was cozy, clean and nicely decorated, it felt like a peacefull oasis, close to the main street with bars and restaurants. The owners were super welcoming, accommodating, sweet and hospitable Breakfast was the best we had during our 2 week trip and home made by the mum of the owners

It was really nice - no feedback points

The hosts went out of their way to make this a very pleasant stay. The breakfast every morning were so good and so fresh-- never began the day hungry. The room is very comfortable, and I enjoyed having the patio and garden.

Everything was great!

Die Lage und das Frühstück waren super.

Alles perfekt:)

Great quiet location just out of town. Hosts are very nice. Facilities are great.

Nothing.

Sehr großes, sauberes und schönes Zimmer. Frühstück war sehr umfangreich und sehr gut. Alle sind sehr freundlich, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Klare Empfehlung.

-

Sehr ruhige Lage, aber fußläufig alles in ein paar Minuten erreichbar. Super Frühstück. Inhaber sehr freundlich und immer erreichbar. Nur ein Zimmer vorhanden, sehr angenehm mit eigenem kleinen Garten mit Sitzmöglichkeit und Hängematten.

Posizione comoda, vicino al centro e alle principali attrazioni (Nine arches bridge e Little Adam's Peak). La stanza è carina, spaziosa, e dotata di tutti i confort. C'è anche una terrazza/giardino, con delle amache, dove viene servita un ottima colazione.

nulla

Hosts fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. Very comfortable self contained room with terrace and garden. Lovely to have very generous and varied breakfasts on the terrace each morning. Great location, quiet but with easy walks to town, Nine Arches Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak. Host made good restaurant recommendations and arrange our contact for onward travel. Highly recommend.

Shower power a bit low

Nice room and nice host.

-Sehr nette Gastgeber - Super Frühstück -Einfache Kommunikation - Toller Garten mit Besuch von Affen und Vögel

- In der Nacht wirds kühl

Really lovely little cabin set in a garden with hammocks. Super cosy and good location for quick walk into main centre. Easy access to nine arches bridge and little Adam’s peak. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, theee was so much we felt bad we couldn’t finish it, served on the terrace in your room. Hosts were super warm, friendly and really helpful.

Muy cerca del centro, muy tranquilo y una terraza con jardín muy bonita. Los desayunos fantásticos

Llovía y hacía frío, el agua de la ducha estaba tibia. Al parecer siempre hace calor, en ese caso no hubiera sido un problema

Amazing hosts with perfect service and big breakfast

The shower pressure could be stronger

Fijn huisje met veranda waar je heerlijk kunt zitten of liggen in een van de hangmatten! Goed bed en fijne badkamer en een heel uitgebreid ontbijt! Het centrum is een kwartiertje lopen dus geen last van geluiden! Goede restaurants dichtbij. We hebben hier vier nachten heerlijk verbleven.

Colazione e posizione

Everything was just perfect from us arriving to leaving

Posizione molto comoda al centro ma senza il delirio dei locali molto rumorosi presenti nella via centrale Staff disponibile e molto gentile La colazione era talmente abbondante che abbiamo dovuto chiedere di non preparare più delle pietanze perché erano davvero troppe

Das Zimmer - ein eigenes kleines Häuschen mit Terrasse und Garten - ist eine kleine Wohlfühloase. Es ist sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet, das Bett bequem, das Wasser warm und wir wurden herzlich empfangen. Das absolute Highlight war das Frühstück, dass uns am morgen auf unsere Terrasse gebracht wurde. Es gab eine große Auswahl an landestypischen frühstücksspeisen, Früchten, Ei, Toast, frischem Fruchtshake und Tee. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Nichts

Die Lage ist super! Dicht an die Stadt von Ella, als auch zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Das Ehepaar war sehr freundlich und hat ein tolles lokales Frühstück zubereitet.

Het ontbijt was fantastisch lekker! Gevarieerd en veel. De accommodatie was knus ingericht en voelde huiselijk. Het is op loopafstand van het centrum. De host was echt fantastisch. Was goed bereikbaar en kwam ‘s ochtends altijd even inchecken hoe het met ons ging. Daardoor bouw je echt een band op. Ze hadden het zelfs versierd voor onze huwelijksreis. Te lief!

Het zijn kleine dingetjes maar: Het werd ‘s avonds best donker. Er was te weinig (felle) verlichting. Het bed was wat aan de harde kant. En de douche is geen aparte ruimte waardoor de hele badkamer nat wordt.

Excellent acommodation and especially a wonderful breakfast. 15 min walking to the main street/road. Owner are very kind.

The room is a little bit dark. The bathroom will be modified soon.

It is exactly what you see in the pictures. A cute little haven just for you in beautiful Ella . It was clean, had ac and the bed was comfortable. As mentioned in other reviews - the breakfast was exceptional and such good value for money!

It was a little bit of a walk from the centre but not far enough to put me off staying here again.

Quiet, walking distance into buzzy town. Beautifully appointed room. Without doubt, our best breakfast across a 2 week trip. Really gorgeous place. Thank you so much.

Nothing.

Close to the center but still calm, tasty breakfast

All was good

Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Location was amazing for central Ella. Place was spacious and big bed. Weird smell constantly coming from the bathroom.

Very nice room with AC and a little garden. The hosts are very nice and the breakfast is an absolute 10/10. Thank you for having us!!

It is a little bit off the main road but easy to reach with a short tuk tuk ride or walk through the forest.

Great stay and comfortable room, the breakfast wad amazing and the host too :)

Very clean. Good location and the hosts did everything they could to help. Really nice helpful people.

Nothing

The best accommodation in Sri Lanka. Privacy (no other quests in the building), quality of the room, the breakfast, all amenities, and top quality service. Cannot recommend more. Wish I could stay longer. It's the perfect retreat for at least a week.

Everything was perfect.

The place is just like in the pictures. It features a mini apartment with your own private garden. Location is good, really quiet, but just a short walk to town. But without a doubt, the best thing about this property is the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay: breakfast, arranging laundry for me, arranging tuk tuk and drivers... Their generosity and friendliness are what make this place so special.

Nothing really

Amazing place to stay would definitely stay here again. Lovely room hidden away with its own garden, patio and hammocks. Room was very clean and comfortable and nice shower/ bathroom. Had WiFi, A/C and provided us with first aid kit, hairdryer and games to play. Staff were so friendly and nice provided us a with a ginormous breakfast every morning and umbrellas for the rain. Great location, close to town without hearing the noise.

Nothing

The morning breakfast was amazing and our hostess was incredibly polite and attentive. The room itself was perfectly tucked away from the noise and fumes of the main road. The small garden was lovely to sit in and read when we wanted some peace and quiet and the decor of the room was pleasant. The bed was comfortable with additional layers available for the cooler evenings. The hosts were also able to help organise transport for us to Weligama.

I didn't love the "wet room" style of the bathroom and there could be some additional ventilation in there, but we knew that this would be the case when booking.

This has been our best stay in Sri Lanka so far. We absolutely loved this place. It is not far from the main street in Ella, but far enough to be mercifully quiet. It is a beautifully fitted out room with King bed nice bathroom. You have a patio and small garden out the front, hammocks, table and chairs. Our hosts have made an effort to provide all the little niceties to make your stay comfortable - tea, coffee, hair dryer, first aid stocks, bathroom supplies etc. It is spotlessly clean. As it gets cold in Ella, we had blankets provided too. Breakfast was included and was absolutely HUGE. Beautiful! Loved sitting on the porch eating it. Kept us going all day! They have a scooter for hire if you want yo get around yourself - we didn’t heed it as we had a personal driver. Coukd mot fault the setvice.

Nothing - all excellent.

We had one of the best stays in Sri Lanka here at Alone Cage! We spent two nights and immediately after arrival wanted to extend, but of course a gem like this was fully booked. Some comments suggest no A/C, which is not true anymore. The whole tiny house was fully renovated a month ago. They thought about every little detail, which makes you feel like sleeping at a friends home with personality and soul. The entire family was lovely and very fast in responding to our messages. And to put the cherry on the top, the breakfast was incredible!

This place is outstanding and if you are visiting Ella, a perfect place to stay. Communication was excellent. We were able to park our tuktuk safely. There is only one room but it is a separate freestanding cottage with a private verandah and front yard. There are hammocks to lay on and the setting is idyllic. Peaceful, quiet and calm. The room is spacious with a comfy bed, quality linens and so many special, homely touches and comforts. The bathroom is great and has hot water! There is no unpleasant smell. The breakfast is amazing. So much wonderful food and an example of the great hospitality. Our hosts were attentive but not annoying, checking in to make sure everything was ok and then letting us get on with enjoying the place It’s about a 10 minute walk into the cafe street. Alone Cage is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed—and we travel full time.

Room had a lot of useful items such as old books about Sri Lanka, board games, first aid, coffee and many more. I can clearly tell that host have great knowledge on how to make customers cozy. Also host was very helpful and kind. We enjoyed the hammocks on the terrace. Highly recommend!

Very nice and spacious room with incredibly friendly host Waruna and his fiance who arranged a lot for us (driver, scooter, laundry). 10/10 would reccomend! Location is also perfect, not too busy but close to all the restaurants.

There were some small ants in the bathroom but we didn’t mind.

We felt very good here! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We liked the location in a quiet place just a few steps from the main street with shops and restaurants. At this accommodation we ate the best breakfast in Sri Lanka! We would definitely come back! Thanks for everything!

A superb quiet location surrounded by trees away from the hustle of the main street. The cottage has lots of room, hot shower, hammocks out the front and privacy. An easy walk to downtown Ella. A huge breakfast each morning made by the most wonderful friendly hosts. A must stay place in Ella.

Everything excellent.

It was a spacious nice place close totgt he main street and little Adam's Peak. Very comfy room and nice hosts.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay in this little cabin. The location is not far from Ella, about 1km easily walkable. Do not miss their breakfasts! Definitely a highlight of this place, and compared to the rest of Ella you'll be saving a lot. They offered us their house to park our tuktuk and were very accommodating in general. There is no aircon but we found Ella to be not as hot as the south. Would definitely come back.

Nice spacious room & Bathroom with a little garden, couple of hammocks, small dining table on the porch for breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice, simple breakfast in fresh air with mix of western & Srilankan cuisine, fresh fruits & juice. Room had all amenities, bathroom had hot water for shower, though the water pressure in the shower despite the booster pump was slightly low than I am used to back home but it was a common issue during our stay in five different facilities in Sri Lanka Excellent value for money & overall very satisfied with our stay.

Location was good, about 5-10 min away from the street which has cafes, supermarkets & restaurants, souvenir shops etc. However, the last about 200 m road was very narrow, had no lighting & was a bit lonely at night.

The hosting family are a prime example of Sri Lankan hospitality. They are always there for you if you need something, but know when to give you some space and make you feel at home. The breakfast is absolutely superb; fresh local food and plenty of it.

The room can be slightly damp in the monsoon season, so there are some small flies around the room. There's a mosquito net around the bed, so it didn't bother us too much though!

We loved this place so much! It was so quiet and peaceful away from the noise of Ella. The garden is private and such a nice space to have. The owners are so lovely and understood what we wanted out of a space to relax. The breakfast was also really good and great value. We'd definitely stay here again when we return to Ella.

nothing

The room was really nice! Just as it looks in the pictures, super spacy but well used space. The private (well not so private as a lot of people walk past) garden was really nice too, and It was great to just lay in the hammock and enjoy the seemingly daily thunder. The staff were really lovely too, and even let me check in a little early! The breakfast was tasty, but so big.

The location was a bit of a trek away from the main town, but it also put you closer to the restaurants on the other side of the town (plus the nine arch bridge and little adams peak), so it was an okay trade off. People rave about the breakfast in the reviews, and it was nice, but it was SO big. As a solo person I couldn't finish half most days. You're talking about a 3000 calorie meal. For two people it would be good, but for one person it was too much and felt wasteful. I'd probably have preferred going to a cafe nearby.

Fabulous hidden gem. The property is just out of town and run by a young couple who run the place beautifully; lovely and clean and has a comfortable sofa to relax on, which is a rare find. Breakfast was delicious, a mix of western and Sri Lankan, and was different each day. Far too much for us to eat. It has a fridge which is great. I give this property 10 out of 10 as the owners do everything to make you comfortable, keep it clean and are obviously working hard to build a future for themselves.

Noting to dislike

Very kind hosts. Beautiful and comfortable room. Just enough out of the city center to avoid the noise, but every thing is on walking distance.

The room/ bungalow is a small property by itself with its own small private garden. The owners live next door and are very friendly and happy to help. The room is close to the main town in Ella but set on a side street so is quiet from Street noise. It also benefits from being a short walk to little adams peak. The room is a good size and has a fridge, TV and sofa as well as outside seating and hammocks. The breakfast is huge and also came with a whole pot of coffee. The WiFi was good enough for basic use and better than expected for this rural location. Although a little more expensive than other places we have stayed, the hot shower, size of room and breakfast made it great value for money

We very much enjoyed our stay here and the facilities were excellent. Large room with big comfortable bed, a drying rack, drawers, coffee table, small sofa, fridge, iron, hairdryer, case rack and TV. The air con was good. The bathroom was large and the shower excellent . The front porch had a table and chairs where we ate, and a hammock. The bungalow is located down a quiet leafy lane on the edge of the forest and yet not too far from local shops. We stayed 2 nights here and breakfast was plentiful and delicious and a different choice each day. The hosts Imali and Waruna are a young couple who want their guests to feel welcome and happy there and Waruna can arrange transport / tuktuk to wherever you need. Thank you to you both you deserve to do well!

Nothing

Lovely helpful host, very responsive,, ideal location

Probably a bit overpriced if I am honest. But that shouldn't put you off if you want comfort, privacy and good location, this is a great place.

Lovely kind people. Went out of there way to please us . Loved having our own private garden and terrace . Enjoyed very much . Woke up to birds singing . Quiet and peaceful

A little damp , but it had rained for 4 months

Waruna and his wife were very helpful. They gave us a lot of recommendations and helped us getting everywhere. The apartment was spacious, clean, and had a nice outside terrace. Definitely recommend getting the breakfast included!

Our young hosts, Waruna and Imali, were very friendly and helpful, providing advice about sightseeing and organising transport, as/when needed. The walk to town was easy and not too far - and it was not steep at all. Our room was a good size for us, our suitcases and day packs. We appreciated the luggage racks that were provided. The bathroom is big and there was plenty of hot water. We also appreciated the refrigerator to keep our drinks cool. We slept very well in the comfortable bed. The area was lovely and quiet and dark; one night fireflies delighted us along the last section of our route home. Breakfast was generous and tasty. We were there for 4 nights and the breakfast was varied a little bit each day, but always included a juice, fresh fruit, an omelette and a different Sri Lankan delight (eg dhal, pumpkin curry, string hoppers, sambol…) toast with butter and jam and coffee. Our hosts were most attentive and did everything they could to ensure we had a lovely stay, which we did. We are happy to highly recommend Alone Cage Ella.

Nothing. It was great.

Very nice place in every aspect! Great, quiet location, you can walk to the city center in 10, 15 minutes while still being close to important sights in the area. The host family was super nice, helping us with our overall trip through Sri Lanka. We got a huge king coconut when we arrived and the breakfast was the best we had during our entire trip through Sri Lanka. Thank you so much for the great start :)

Great accommodation! We enjoyed having a small home of our own - spacious with a very comfortable and big bed, and also with a small sofa and a coffee table. The area outside is also super nice to hang out, especially since we had some rain during our stay in Ella. We enjoyed the location being a bit more on the side, so we had quiet nights, but also it was a walking distance to restaurants and bars. The owners are also very friendly and attentive, they popped by when we needed them, but we had the space for ourselves. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Lovely people, very kind and helpful. Loved the fact we had our own private terrace and garden , great location. We had a fridge and kettle and hairdryer, coffee etc . Everything you need. Would stay here again and recommend others

Only criticism and this is not a big deal as it wouldn’t put me off staying again, is that it’s a little damp in the room . Maybe a vent could help solve this problem, but it had rained for months previously so maybe that was the reason and it will now dry out . Also maybe leave a sweeper/brush outside to sweep the floor 🧹

Good location in Ella. Alone Cage is really just one room so we had a lot of privacy. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean.

Everything!! What a peaceful place to stay. The house is located away from the busy street of Ella, but still close enough to just walk there in 10-15 minutes. It was such a beautiful house with a lovely outdoor area as well to relax. Also the owners were such lovely people, going above and beyond to help out and make sure we make the most of our stay in Ella. I would definitely stay here again when in Ella!!

Nothing!

Very friendly staff provding delicious and huge breakfast. The accomodation is very quiet and equipped with everything you need. Hot water shower was very much appreciated. Wifi worked well enough for some light work on laptop. Nice to have youtube on the smart tv!

everything was great.

Attention was fantastic 😊 its not just a room, looks like your private chalet, with your own entrance and patio. Location is good, walking distance from the main street bit also on the way to nine Bridges and little Adam. They offer super quick laundry which was a bonus, apart from other facilities. The owners live next door but also very responsive by WhatsApp, and super helpful. The room has everything you need, would say above average for our SL experience.

Being picky WiFi was a bit slow at times

What a lovely place to stay! You get your own terrace with hammock, deckchairs and sit close to the garden. On the terrace we had a marvellous breakfast every morning. The large breakfast is first class! Everything is freshly prepared! You can rent a scooter, use laundry and get a lot of tips for your stay in Ella from fhe very nice and helpful hosts! We really can recommend "Alone Cage Ella"!

We loved our stay at alone cage Ella. It was our second visit. And it is always the place we would go in Ella. It's in a quite but still central location. You can walk in 10 minutes to the city center. The room is spacious and very good equipped. We had a terrace and garden for ourselves. The hot water is running perfectly. And for us important is the water kettle and also the fridge in the room. Furthermore the room is very clean. But most important is that the hosts, Waruna and Imali, are lovely people, who help with everything and really love what they are doing. The breakfast is also wonderful btw. They serve it on the terrace. You can watch the birds and the squirrels while have breakfast. We highly recommend to book this place!

Nothing.

Very nice location, spacious and very friendly host.

Nothing, was great

Location, away from the busy street, yet so near to everything

All good

The room is big and comfortable and has a nice private little garden. The staff were super nice and helpful and gave me good advices and recommendations.

Very nice place! good value for money

I recently booked a guesthouse in Ella, Sri Lanka, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The experience was absolutely fantastic, earning it a well-deserved 5 stars! From the moment we arrived, the host Waruna went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. warmth and hospitality were truly exceptional. He was always ready to offer helpful tips about the local area, making sure we got the most out of our visit. The guesthouse itself was charming, clean, and cozy, with very cute garden. We felt right at home. We left the guesthouse with a heart full of gratitude and wonderful memories. If you're planning a trip to Ella, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with this amazing host. You won't be disappointed!

Waruna was verry kind and realy went out of his way to help us and have the best possible time in Ella. The breakfast was verry good and the room was super clean an comfortable. We had a great time for three nights and would definitely recommend it!

The room was clean and spacious, with nice bathroom and terrace. Location is perfect, in quiet nature, but still very close to the town.

The place was magical, a spacious studio room with a quiet garden and hammock. Owner was very very generous and considerate. Great shower, Comfortable bed and great location , we really recommend !!

If you are looking for a place to stay in Ella which is quite, but also near the busstation, train station, the main street and nine arch bridge / little adams peak this is the place. The room is big, the shower hot, the host is very kind and will help you in person and also via whatsapp if you need anything. Breakfast was also nice and there was a fridge (even a rice cooker). I enjoyed my stay

What would this stay make perfect would be a nice chair to sit outside in. Now it only has plastic chairs and one hammock.

This place felt like luxury. The room is spacious, the bed is extremely comfortable and the setting is very pretty. The walk to this property (in a quiet laneway close to the main town centre) is lovely. And the host was accommodating. He was just a text away.

honestly nothing. We loved our stay.
