    Exceptional views, close to town walking along the rail tracks which was fun. Great rooms with balcony, huge comfy bed and large bathroom, good breakfasts. Sitting on rooftop deck at sunset was great, plus being able to use the infinity pool next door at 1000 Rps was a luxury after walks.

    Best breakfast ever! Perfect location, very close to the centre but on a quieter street. The host was very kind to us. The room has 2 double beds, great for storage. No air con but this isn’t needed in Ella. The WiFi was pretty good

    Mahinda and his wife and daughter made us feel so welcome. The breakfast was a banquet and so delicious.The view from the balcony was beautiful. Mahinda gave us great advice on what to visit. It is in a perfect location between Little Adam and 9 Bridges and so quiet and peaceful. Mahinda's wife very kindly drove us with an Uber price to Tangalle beach. Such lovely, interesting people.

    This hostel was one of the best ones I have stayed at so far. It has a perfect location very close to the Main Street, but without the noise. The host makes amazing breakfast and is very helpful overall. The room and the bathroom ist very clean and showering with animal sounds will be an experience I’ll always cherish. The terrace is very big & you get to watch a beautiful sunset, amazing for relaxing. 10/10 recommend if you are staying in Ella !

    This place is in the perfect location and has a stunning view of the mountains, plus you can see sunrise/sunset straigh from your room! It is a 5 minute walk from the town where they have amazing restaurants and bars. If you go to Ella, this is the perfect place to stay. The staff were also very sweet and helpful!

    Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka. The views from our room were amazing. Sunrise and sunset :) Perfect location, 5 minute walk along the railway tracks to the centre of Ella. Walking distance to Little Adam's Peak, Nina Arch Bridge and Ella Rock. The Sri Lankan breakfast at this accommodation was delicious. The host was very friendly and attentive. They even packed us a breakfast for our early morning hike up Ella Rock and also organised a cooking class for us with his sister. Would highly recommend.
