Nimal (owner) is awesome. He met us at check-in, was super friendly and helpful with arranging transportation for us to get in and out of Ella. Awesome breakfast too. Great hotel room but it is always the people that make it feel like home.

Stayed for 2 nights in November in the family room with mountain view & our own roof terrace with table, chairs & hammocks. Our room was very nice, clean & the beds were comfortable. Bathroom was a good size. The breakfast was delicious & the view from the roof terrace was great & we were lucky enough to watch a giant squirrel building it's nest at the top of a tree, as well as see some tiny squirrels & it was lovely to see & hear the birds singing early in the morning. The owner Nimal was welcoming & very friendly & helpful. It's a short tuktuk ride into the centre, or you can walk - take a torch if walking in the dark There is a nice restaurant very close to the hotel too.
