    Charming Stay in the Heart of Ella’s Beauty

    Not sure whether we liked or disliked this, but it was strangely surprising that the hotel sold (vintage) high-end clothes. It was fun to look at it, but didn’t really fit the hotel vibe.

    We loved the convenient location of this hotel, nestled just minutes from the center of Ella and a quick 10-minute tuk-tuk ride to the iconic Nine Arches Bridge. The staff were friendly and welcoming, with good English skills that made communication easy. Our room was impressively spacious and spotlessly clean, offering a comfortable retreat after exploring. The bathroom was nice with a pleasant shower, though the water pressure could have been a bit stronger.

    Breakfast while served by wonderful staff wasn't great. They do not offer dinner, but after a long journey, it would be good to have that option. White Rabbit is an excellent option down the road.

    Beautiful property, lovely staff and caring owner. We saw a mongoose and incredible bird life.

    We were in a downstairs room which had a bit of a damp smell. Mattress was firm so may not be for everyone.

    Good location, just out of town and close to the nine arch bridge walk. Clean room with all the basics. Decent for the price. Window in the room meant we could hear the sounds of the forest overnight. Make sure to keep an eye out for the fireflies!

    It’s a new hotel, very nice design, very clean and in a very quiet area full of trees. We saw deers close by, which was amazing! The hotel manager, Tony, was very polite and accommodating. Very comfortable beds as well :)

    The location is off the city but you don’t get a “great” view over Ella. So I would prefer to stay close to the city instead or pick a different location to have a nice view. The tuk tuk the hotel arranges is not ok. We preordered one to get us to the train station, instead of the regular price of 500 it charged us 1000. The building is quite new and still under construction. A lot of things are not yet done. We had little warm water only on our arrival day, the other day we had no hot water at all.

    The rooms are new and modern, the view from room 104 is the best. You wake up and have a look into the woods. Price and value are ok.

    You can feel that the owners put a lot of love in the property and the philosophy of making the hotel part of the green environment. With the Tuktuk you’ll be in Ella in 5 minutes. We loved the honest interest and conversations and that our daughter (3) could play with Namara (the daughter of the owners) and felt really at home. There’s an iron machine in the hallway which is a plus. We were with our daughter and they brought a sleeping couch in for her, which was great service. Furthermore the hotel is super new and clean and the room is spacious. Breakfast was really nice (just make sure to ask for it the evening before and they’ll make a great breakfast)

    This beautiful sanctuary at Ella was the perfect find. If you are looking for cozy homely feels and a clean place to spend your time, Namara is the place. My mornings started with the beautiful nature sounds and looking at green hills and my evenings ended with fireflies outside the balcony. It was truly magical. The wonderful couple is very helpful in giving their recommendations about what to do in Ella and arranging transfer within the city as well as the airport.

    Little out of the way but this was resolved with the reliable driver provided by the hotel

    Owners and staff were excellent and a highlight of the stay, very helpful. Property well maintained and clean. While a little out of town, the manager was able to provide us with a tuk tuk driver who was very well priced and reliable making it easy to get around

    Had a great stay here. Pool was fabulous, set in a wonderful garden. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Restaurant and food had good selection for all meals. Service again was excellent. Thank you

    Only thing was There was no mini fridge in the room which could’ve been handy for us as we did have drinks and snacks to store the night before our tours /departure where we had to leave early hours of the morning and no shops were open.

    Loved the staff, very friendly and helpful. Uber and pick me do not work in Ella, On our first day he was able to get us a tuk tuk to pick us up which we ended up using during our whole stay. Breakfast was beautiful and fresh. Nice rooms as well.

    Although the walk into Ella town was very beautiful it could be tricky at night which may be a problem for some people. It was very easy and cheap to get a tuk tuk to the hotel though!

    The staff were fantastic and made us a fantastic breakfast each morning. The property is nestled in the jungle and is very beautiful. It is well maintained and the beds were extremely comfortable.
