A stay in the jungle

This place is magical! Truly a stay in the jungle. There’s no road to the cabin so the last part you have to walk on the railway. However the staff were really helpful and carried our suitcases the whole way - so do recommend to pack lightly. The place was amazing and the staff were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

The rooms were very clean and nice. We were very warmly welcomed and the staff was always friendly and very helpful. Very tasty breakfast. Highly recommended. Everything here was beautiful in nature. A whole cabanna to yourself with lots of things to use. I would not recommend this hotel with heavy suitcases as there are a lot of steep stairs where it is very tedious to carry the suitcases. Rather backpacks.

This cabana is no longer available to stay in they took our money of course and when we arrived they showed us to a youth hostel place. I was not happy and told them to take down the bamboo cabana as an option on last minute. They did provide us with a better room in another building but I was not happy. Beware

Beautiful location in the middle of the nature

The guest house has an amazing location with a beautiful view in the middle of the nature. Super calm and nice and in the same time Ella city center is only a 5 min tuk-tuk ride away. We got great help when needed and an amazing breakfast served on the balcony every morning. Great value for money in an unique location.

The property is located in a beautiful part of Ella. A walk along the train tracks to town is a unique experience. The breakfast served on the veranda was delightful. Shehan, looked after us exceptionally well.

Beautiful view

Really enjoyable and beautiful located place to stay in Ella. We were two people and stayed in the upper apartment which offered us a brilliant view over the nature area. The straff was extremly friendly and helped us with information about the city. Our Sri Lankan breakfast on the terasse was fresh and very tasty. We would definitivt come back!

On the tracks

Great two night stay . A little out of Ella itself but an easy and interesting 15 mins walk in along the track. Met by the staff at the end of temple rd. wonderful huge breakfast each day. Anything required, the staff will do what they can’t to get it for you. Fantastic views, amazing walks on your doorstep. Would stay again.

This place is amazing. One of the balconies/views we’ve ever had. This is more or less a cabin in the jungle so some of the facilities are basic but if the top floor is available this is a MUST book.

Wish we had booked elsewhere

The guy working in the hotel was super nice and obliging but this was the only good thing about the place. The not so great view was obscured by opaque plastic boards to cover the stairs from the upstairs view. The room itself smelt badly of mould and mildew and the water in the bathroom was extremely hot - I assume it’s because they must use some kind of solar energy. There was no separate shower so the water drained past the toilet and down the drain in the opposite corner of the bathroom. The hotel is literally just on the railway so trains wake you very early in the morning and you can’t go back to sleep as the blinds are so thin the light wakes you up. We tried to cancel the other 4 nights of our stay but they refused but it was so bad we had to pay for 2 places instead of staying there as we had already paid. Would only recommend for highly budget conscious travellers who will already be waking up early to do the various Ella hikes.

Séjour parfait

Super séjour au Ella bamboo cabana, hotel impeccable, les hôtes sont on ne peut plus sympathique et arrangeants. Vue splendide au réveil (à condition de réserver la chambre du haut), et un petit déjeuner excellent, dans doute le meilleur de notre séjour.
