The rooms are simple but have a terrace with an amazing view of Ella rock. The hosts were really nice and helpful. The location is very good and close to tourist attractions and the city center. I really recommend to stay here.

If you're lucky enough to find this place available, book it! This has been our favourite place we have stayed in all of Sri Lanka. Right from when we arrived and the staff helped us off the bus, until when we left when they packed a takeaway lunch and helped to get us to the station for our 06.30 am train. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, so much fresh fruit! And the snacks and tea and coffees we were offered everytime we came home was such fantastic hospitality. We really felt like part of the family here, and every question we had from renting scooters it getting into town was sorted out by the staff. Couldn't believe the standard of the room for the cost we paid. If we ever come back to Ella we will absolutely be staying here. Thankyou so much

    Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
