Great Sri Lankan breakfast served on the balcony. Only spent one night but would have stayed more if they weren’t booked. Highly recommended.

    Inmeshed in nature, the view from the room's terraces and common areas is beautiful. The B&B is just a short stroll to the city center and Ella train station, but at the same time very peaceful and quiet. I appreciated recieving a tea upon my arrival and also having free bottled water, a kettle and tea bags in the room. My room had a fan and a mosquito net and I did not need an AC, as Ella and Sri Lanka's hillside is cooler and fresher than other parts of the country. I enjoyed having a little private terrace, with jungle views.

    First things first, the hotel is in a great location. A 2 minute walk away from the main street, a 10 minute (perhaps less) to the train station and a short distance from the key hikes. The hotel room is simply decorated and perhaps a little rough around the edges. But it's clean, quiet and charming. I had a room with two single beds, but it was easy enough to push them together. The host is really helpful and friendly, and breakfast was great!
