Evertlything about this place was to our satisfaction. Comfortable bed,pillow and quietness.The room though not big was spacious enough and we didn't feel cramped.The breakfast was excellent and varied and seved on the balcony at your convenince where you can enjoy the most awesome scenic view of the mountains. It truly is a wonderful sight even on a cloudy day. The staff too were eceptionally friendly and helpful and assisted us on a few occasions. The location too is very convenient for town and 9 arch bridge and little Adam's peak are both within walking distance. This place really suited our needs perfectly and as we plan to visit Ella again we are sure to stay here. Well done to the management of this place for giving their guests excellent value for money.

Especially the juice😍 (soursop?treefruit) they made straight from their own garden was heaven so good.. We walked up from their place to the nine arches, then a beautiful walk to the arches of mountain little Adam we did that to, had super vegan diner in Ella, and walked back.

Serene environment, top quality service from the lovely owner, the room was immaculate with everything we needed and very picturesque. The host even provided us with tea, water and laundry service. Possibly the best place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka, and do not be put off by the negative reviews regarding the driveway, it is easy via Tuktuk and worth it for the views and privacy. Their tuktuk shuttle is free and available 24/7 - thank you again for a wonderful stay ❤️ the best place to eat is Ella Siyapatha Hut Restaurant. This was the most authentic meal we had that was cooked by the gorgeous family. Truly an amazing experience if you’re in Zella

Beautiful and clean accommodation in the hearth of nature. Hotel included a large bathroom, where hot water flowed without problems. We had a very tasty Sri Lankan breakfast in the accommodation, which also included coffee. We also took advantage of the dinner option - delicious Sri Lankan. The hotel is in a quiet part, not in the city center, but the owners provided us with a tuk-tuk transfer from the station (free) to the center and back. There is a scooter rental option at the accommodation. The family is very friendly, nice and very helpful. Among other things, they also arranged for us a share taxi to Udawalawe, a jeep driver in Udawalawe, etc. Wave to everyone and see you later!

Lovely place surrounded by nature away from the city but easily reached by tuk-tuk. The room was very clean and comfortable and also very beautiful. Staff very attentive and welcoming. I suggest you take your time in the morning to enjoy the amazing and huge breakfast.
