View is nice
Theres lot of house bugs and flies inside the room and lobby area. Bathroom is not clean and hot water is not available.
اطلالته على الجبل جميله جدا الموظفون متعاونون ولطفاء شكرا لكم على خلقكم الرفيع
Million dollar view of mountain and valley, 5 mins walk to centre of town
Room stunk of sewage, obviously faulty pipes
Absolutely fantastic! A hidden gem in Ella. Located just as you enter Ella this hotel is nestled in trees and perched on the edge of the mountain, this means you’re away from the hustle and bustle of the town and you get to wake up to one of the lost incredible views from your balcony.
magnifique vue depuis la chambre sur le Ella Rock, balcon confortable, chambre propre, légèrement excentré donc calme, personnel très accueillant et aide volontiers à porter les bagages malgré les nombreuses marches/escalier d'accès
salle de bain avec odeur de canalisation et propreté acceptable seulement, les draps du lit sont petit et se défend facilement quand on dort
Mega Ausblick auf Ella rock vom Zimmer und der Dachterasse beim Frühstücken. Frühstück lecker und ausreichend. Personal sehr freundlich, haben uns günstig Weiterfahrt nach Tangalle vermittelt. Fussläufig alles erreichbar! Zimmer einfach und sauber. Preis-Leistung richtig gut!
The view from the rooms and terrace is amazing. Staff and breakfast were impeccable. The hotel is in a calm and relaxing spot while remaining at a 5 min walking distance from main restaurants and shops. Recommended for the great money for value.
The hotel could you small fixing here and there (e.g power socket, water pressure etc…). Mind that there is quite a lot of stairs that might be problematica for people with walking issue.
Great location, AMAZING breakfast, AMAZING views. Simple and basic room and bathroom but clean and comfortable
The room is a bit stuffy and humid? Having nets on the bed or on the door to the balcony would allow sleeping with the mountain air which would be great
Ruime kamer met balkon met prachtig zicht op Ella rock. Lekker ontbijt, vriendelijk personeel. Wel wat trappen om er te komen.
Badkamer kon opfrisser gebruiken.
Amabilidad del personal y vistas
Calor e instalaciones sin reparar
La vue sur la vallée est exceptionnellement belle. Une pure merveille à contempler depuis la chambre.
המיקום ממש טוב! ממש כמה דק הליכה מהרחוב הראשי . נוף מטורף מהחדר! הצוות היה ממש אדיב ונחמד - כל דבר שהיינו צריכים מיד באו לעזור. החדר היה נקי , ביקשו עוד מאורר והביאו לנו.
Toller Ausblick, super Lage, freundliche Gastgeber
Najpiękniejsze są widoki z tarasu, śniadanie z widokiem na góry jest niezwykłym doznaniem. Przemili ludzie, rano do śniadania świeży sok z papaji,.. Świetna lokalizacja, blisko do centrum tętniącego życiem nocnym. Polecam mino drobnych wad😉
Łazienka była tragiczna, ale jedną noc można było przymknąć oko😉
Bardzo sympatyczny i dobrze życzący właściciel. Widać, że zależy mu aby każdy czuł się dobrze zaopiekowany. Tak też było w naszym przypadku. Bardzo fajne śniadanie, pożywne i świetne świeże soki. Widok z tarasu na którym podawane są posiłki jest wyjątkowy. Na tarasie można również skorzystać z „baru” wieczornego, ale my nie mieliśmy okazji z powodu innych planów. W pokoju była dostępna drewniana suszarka na ubrania, co było pomocne. Bardzo dobra lokalizacja.
Łazienka nie była zła, ale przydałoby się odświeżenie. Pokój wyglądał lepiej.
The rooms were clean and neat. We had a very nice view from the porch. The breakfast was simple but tasty. The service was very good , they helped us with all we have asked.
The rooms are not very big
Soggiorno ottimo, balcone con bella vista e posizione davvero comoda
Il bagno e la doccia non erano dei migliori, ma comunque andavano bene, se non ricordo male la doccia aveva solo l’acqua fredda
Great location! The breakfast was tasty, too. And the view!!
No ac, but note they had lots of fans so it was comfortable. A lot of stairs could be an issue for some. Staff help with luggage so that isn’t an issue.
הצוות מקסים, קשוב ורוצה לעזור.
החדרים ישנים ולא מרגישים נקיים
Un lloc on poder estar prop del centre, però amb tranquilitat, lluny dels locals de música. Molt bon esmorzar, vistes espectaculars. L'habitació de davant de recepció era espaiosa i amb balcó (has de tancar-lo pels micos quan estàs fora de l'habitació).
Les escales per arribar no són adequades per tothom, tampoc les internes per pujar al lloc d'esmorzar. La resta fenomenal.
Très belle vue sur les montagnes
Petit déjeuner un peu long à servir…
Nice people who were helpful and thoughtful, breakfast was cheap and very very big. The location is incredible! The view here is one of the best we had in Sri Lanka of Ella rock. Some stairs to get in but it’s worth it once you get there it’s so peaceful! Value for money for a room with 2 double beds is insane!!!
Las vistas. El personal es muy atento. El desayuno está bien
Las instalaciones. Sucias, viejas, sin mantenimiento. Se cayeron las maderas de cama y quedó hundida. La ducha solo funcionaba bien el grifo grande. La wifi no va bien.
Prachtig uitzicht, vlakbij het centrum, maar toch rustig. Super vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
De kamers waren verouderd.
L'emplacement un peu en extérieur du centre ville et la vue. Le petit déjeuner est excellent.
Les équipements un peu datés dans la salle de bain.

Amazing view
The location was just 200 meters from the main Ella street. Breakfast quantity wad fabulous and the staff was very accommodating to requests. The view from the room and the restaurant balcony was amazingly beautiful
The path to the hotel involves a significant number of stairs. so it may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues or anyone who has difficulty climbing stairs
The staffs are very nice and helpful.
The location is very convenient and close to the city. However, the entrance road is not in great condition, and there was often an unpleasant smell around the property, possibly from a nearby drain. We stayed for two nights, but the room was not cleaned on the second day. There is also no dedicated parking available. Overall, it was an okay stay, and a few improvements in these areas would make the experience much better.
Tolles Hotel, super dinner und schöner Pool mit Blick ins Tal auf den Fluss.
The breakfast and the views
nothing
Veldig hyggelig personalet. Var også med på matlagings kurs på hotellet som var en flott opplevelse. Veldig bra beliggenhet i forhold til byen.
Not good for elderly due to location
I love on the room view and room facilities. breakfast also superb. host is super helpful.
there is stair has to go for hotel from main road sometimes its hard to take that path in night time. door locks are bit old. tea coffee machines or minibar not in the room.
Niks
Ik begrijp niet waarom deze accommodatie zo hoog scoort. Bij aankomst werd mij verteld dat ik alleen contant kon betalen. Dat was geen probleem, maar achteraf zag ik op Booking.com dat mijn verblijf als geannuleerd/no-show was geregistreerd, waardoor ik mogelijk opnieuw moet betalen. Daarnaast hebben mijn man en ik de hele nacht niet geslapen door ernstige jeuk. Mijn man zat de volgende ochtend onder de rode bultjes, wat sterk wijst op bedwantsen. Er was niemand bij de receptie aanwezig om dit te melden of om schone lakens te vragen. Als klap op de vuurpijl was er alleen ijskoud water in de douche. Ik schrijf niet graag negatieve reviews, maar als er geprobeerd wordt mij dubbel te laten betalen, dan vind ik dat toekomstige gasten de waarheid mogen weten.
Good value for money with comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location within walking distance of Ella Town.
However, the hotel is accessed via narrow and steep concrete stairs from the main road, with no direct vehicle access. Guests with their own vehicles must park on Ella Main Road, where parking is not always guaranteed. Best suited for travelers arriving by public transport, tuk-tuk, or taxi. Not recommended for families with babies, elderly guests, or anyone with mobility difficulties.
Die Lage ist wirklich super, das Frühstück sehr lecker, das Personal sehr nett und natürlich der grandiose Ausblick.
Die Zimmer eigentlich komplett. Sauberkeit kann man bei dem Alter der Zimmer nicht mehr umsetzen. An den Wänden ist Schimmel und Flecken. Türen schließen nicht richtig dadurch Geckos im Zimmer. Keine Klima. Hellhörig, im Bad sogar einfach ein offenes „Fenster“ (eher einfach ein Loch) zum Flur. Dusche kaum einzustellen; es kommt aus allen Hähnen gleichzeitig. Komisches Sammelsurium an Einrichtung.
The views were unbelievable, the staff were lovely and the room was nice. No complaints
Nice view and peaceful
Need more something
Amazing wiev and comfortable room. Breakfast was marvellous from the terrace. Staff was very very kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place to stay.
It would be great to have tea and Coffee making in the room.
La posizione e la gentilezza del personale mi ha fatto molto piacere
Ho trovato scarafaggi ed altri insetti inderiderati, assieme ad una scimmia poco gentile sul tetto che rubava le colazioni (certamente non è colpa dello staff, ma mi sembra giusto dirlo)
Lovely staff. Great rooftop. Good location. Good size room with balcony
Shower not great but that’s ok!
Amazing location with the best view and easy 5 min walk into Ella. And very friendly staff. Also a lovely breakfast on the best terrace in Ella!!
A little bit basic but everything else made up for it.
Bardzo przyjazna obsluga, super sniadania! Widoki wooow
Nieststy z pobliskiego kanalu naprawde zle pachnie - wartp by posprzatac ten strumyk.
Location was awesome
There was no safe parking for the vehicle
Very good location, nice owner, nice terrace with excellent view.
The bad smell of waste in some of the rooms coming from toilet, from waste pipes. During the rain everything reeked on waste.
This was a great stay a few minutes walk from Ella town centre. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the room had an amazing view. We also got a great breakfast which we loved!
Staff went out of way to assist. Super helpful. Views were spectacular.
Number of stairs to reach entrance and more stairs once inside
Amazing views
Not a very nice bathroom
This property could not be better positioned- absolutely amazing views of Ella Rock from each room and the rooftop terrace, and a <5 minute walk into town. Rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast made by Danni (with amazing views) was the best start to our day. Highly recommended.

Location

The view is spectacular and the location is ideal - short walk from the main town. We really enjoyed the breakfasts and the staff were all very lovely!
Views made the difficult access worth it. Breakfast was good but very little choice. We could use the lovely ( views) dining terrace in the evening but there was no service but we did get a lovely pot of tea one evening. We daren't risk the horrendous stairs at night as we had little children and elderly with us. Staff were great at helping with all bags and the buggy. Not really suitable for elderly or those with small children.
Difficult access via uneven stone steps. Also many uneven flights of steps within building. Shower pressure almost a dribble.
Great location and view to the mountain and valley. Very kind staff
Little water pressure and not enough closet space for clothing
Quirky, beautiful views, watching monkeys play from the balcony, good location
N/A
Low budget
In need of renovation Clean but because of everything is so old it doesn’t look tidy
Hôte très gentil près à vous conseiller. Magnifique vue sur le Ella rock avec terrasse en roof top pour les repas. Bonne cuisine. A deux pas du centre ville et de la balade du Little Adam’s pick et du nine arch bridge.
Humidité dans la salle de bain et dans une des chambres.
Great location about 300m from downtown Ella, easy walk but far enough to avoid the city noise. Wonderful view of Ella Rock from the room with balcony overlooking the valley. Good breakfast included, on top floor with a view. Comfy bed. Constant entertainment by monkeys running by.
Shower had low pressure, wifi coverage was ok but very slow
personnel serviable, emplacement, rapport qualité-prix vue exceptionnelle sur "Ella-rock"
Only the view was good
Hygiene needs to improve a lot, lack of cleanliness and lack of communication, WIFI not works properly and online payment not available
L'hôtel est original. Une terrasse en toiture couverte nous accueille pour le breakfast devant une superbe vue sur le rocher de Ella et la chaine de montagnes du centre de l'ile. Le personnel est très serviable. Très bien situé
L'entrée de l'hôtel est excentré par rapport à la route et le personnel doit porter les bagages sur une série d'escalier jusqu'à l'hôtel.
This property was absolutely amazing in all regards. The room was spacious, and the balcony overlook the most stunning view. The location couldn’t be better. It’s in town but more at the start of town so it’s away from all the noise. All you hear are birds chirping. It’s so peaceful even better. It came with breakfast. That was absolutely wonderful. I couldn’t even eat that much food I really enjoyed this place. I found the people running it to be incredibly kind, soft spoken, and attentive.
Nothing
Mooie locatie je moet wel flink een aantal traptreden lopen om binnen te komen. Heerlijk ontbijten on the toproof. Fijn balkon om lekker te zitten en bij te komen. Eigen badkamer met warme douche. Op een paar minuten loop afstand van de stad.
Top Blick auf den Ella Rock! Super zentral und trotzdem relativ ruhig. Die Unterkunft liegt mit etwas Abstand neben der Straße. Tagsüber hört man etwas die Busse und LKW, aber nachts ist es sehr ruhig.
nichts
La chambre était convenable, le restaurant en rooftop avec une belle vue : le petit déjeuner copieux. rien â redire. Si ce n est l emplacement en bord de route et la descente par des escaliers et remontée pour atteindre l hôtel. En plus des marches pour aller sur les 2 points d intérêt de ls ville. Heureusement que les bagages sont pris en charge par le personnel.
Quiet very clean and lovely staff
We had an incredible experience with a group of 13, and the staff took exceptional care of every single one of us. Almost every room offers a stunning mountain view, and the location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center. The complimentary breakfast was also a highlight—absolutely delicious! What truly set them apart was their honesty and helpfulness. One of our friends accidentally left their wallet behind; the staff found it, called us immediately, and even couriered it to our next stop. Such amazing, polite, and friendly people. Don't hesitate to book here!
Son emplacement
La chambre était vétuste. Très peu d’eau dans la douche et pas chaude. Pas de gel douche ou shampooing seulement 2 petits savons. Pas de sèche cheveux, salle de bain très vieille et odeur de moisi. Nous ne recommandons pas du tout cet établissement il est très facile de trouver un meilleur rapport qualité/prix, à fuir nous sommes très déçus pour une note booking de 8/10.
La ubicación, cercana al centro. La vista desde la terraza. El personal muy amable y servicial Muy buen desayuno
Que las habitaciones no tengan aire acondicionado o al menos un ventilador de techo.
Super Aussicht, ruhige Lage und nur wenige Gehminuten ins Zentrum. Sehr freundliches Personal und gutes Frühstück!! Würde definitiv wieder hier übernachten!
I had a wonderful stay with my family at this hotel. The hotel was spotless, beautifully maintained, and located in a great area close to the center city and the Nine Arches bridge The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The host was very friendly and responsive, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We truly felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout my stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and pleasant experience.
The staff is great, they help us with luggage, had An Amazing breakfast with the best views in Ella.
The restroom could be nicer
