Brand new hotel. Just 50m from station that every train stops and by the trails to waterfall and famous Ella’s Rock. We are travelling with 2 kids (8&5). The family room has 2 floors, so the parents could have some privacy downstairs. Children didn’t have any problem going up/down with caution. They loved the views on the trains which were passing by. Clean bedlinens and towels. Also there is a kettle, tea and coffee in the room. Breakfasts are varied, prepared with the highest care and staff is absolutely outstanding. The hospitality is exceptional. The best hotel experience in Sri Lanka so far.

Those guys are so great!! Everybody here in Sri Lanka is nice, but they went beyond. Extra caring and helpful, they even helped a friend of mine from abroad to make me a surprise present!! Amazing: they put so much effort to do it, lovely! Breakfast and dinner are local and plentiful, and really good! You have to taste the banana rotti! The place is well located nearby the station before/after Ella and you would definitely enjoy the way on the railway tracks from Kithal to Ella, there's such a view! For sure better than the one from Ella to the famous 9 arches bridge! Both the room and the bathroom are huge and clean. It's not beautiful but it is super functional. Modern and spacious shower, hot water. Nice big window-wall.

They could try to make the place a little bit more cozier, it's super impersonal.

I really enjoyed my stay here during my Ella trip! I think the place is quite new which is lovely because your room and all amenities smell divine and fresh. The breakfast is huge and delicious-no chance you will finish it! The location is further away from town but it’s just so beautifully green, close to Ella’s rock and some waterfalls. Great area for nature wake essentially. The staff were lovely and caring. So on the ball! I think their English isn’t perfect so from other reviews it seems like others thought they’re not as helpful but I think if you’re patient and willing to converse they were great. They helped me find a reliable Tuk Tuk driver for longer days out and helped me get to my next destination. Lastly, a very comfortable mattress and bed linen! Heavenly!

Few minor things- Bathroom drain was blocked so my bathroom will be flooded after every shower lol. The place could do with a lounging area with beanbags for example. There is space for it between the staircase and would be a nice chill out zone rather than the dining tables. I really enjoyed the location being further away from town, green and by the train tracks (amazing photos) but I do feel it could ever so slightly go down in price since you need a tuk tuk to go anywhere or walk for 40 mins. May I just stress that none of the above made me not enjoy my stay. I actually extended by a night so these are just suggestions.

The rooms were clean with an industrial style. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. the windows opened and acted as a balcony and it was stunning. bathroom was also nice and was the first one we had in Sri Lanka with a separate shower area from the toilet. The hotel staff was lovely as well, helped us with tuktuks, mopeds and any other issues we had. Lastly, breakfast was stunning. Eggs your choice, toast with fruit jam and butter, curry Dal, coconut roti, sambal, and coconut crepes with chocolate, and fruit everything tasted soo nice. Also train nearby and waterfall so very pretty area

The property is a little far out of Ella but if you rent a moped it’s fine. tuktuks are easy to get from here as well. no airconditioning or fan. room stays very cool fortunately but needs some circulation to help with flow of air and humidity.

Wonderful place, located immediately at the train station Kithal Ella, beautiful and very helfpul and creative staff! Thank you for the wonderful dinners and service! We would love to come back! Good luck for the place and the nice manager/chef!

Rooms are fresh and clean, all is very new. The design of the place is really nice, and is located in the middle of nature with great views. It’s a little bit outside Ella, which is actually super nice as it’s quiet and you wake up to the sound of birds. You can walk over the train tracks to Ella or to restaurants nearby, which is an experience on its own. The breakfast is really good, so already just for that you should stay here! Also the staff has been very helpful with sharing tips on what to see in and around Ella and arranging transportation.

We were super happy with our stay. The location was lovely. Picturesque and calm and quiet with a great view of the train going by. The rooms were new, clean, spacious and really nicely designed again with nice views. The breakfast was a great Sri Lankan spread and the staff were really helpful. Shehan was really attentive. We would definitely go back and most probably will again this year.

Generally we liked everything. The only issues we had were that the TVs in the rooms didn't work (weren't connected). This was due to the hotel being fairly new. This wasn't the end of the world but if you see TV's advertised on the ad, then you expect them to work. (my son in particular was disappointed). We were told they were waiting for connection. We spent most of our time out and about so not a huge issue but had the weather been terrible it would have been nice to have the option especially as we had the expectation before arriving. The hotel is situated down a very steep hill and our vehicle struggled to get up it to the point we had to get out and walk. This obviously isn't an issue with the hotel but just something to be aware of.

Totally new hotel with beautiful view for jungle and railway. Really friendly staff. Good breakfast and delicious dinner. Location is good. Close to trail to Ella rock. If you come by train, be note that platform is really short and you need to be ready to jump out from train or you need check in advance which wagon you need.

I loved the location of the property which was 50m away from the train station. Moreover, everything was flexible and easygoing regarding renting scooters from the hotel, and going to the Ravana Waterfall and hiking Ella Rock! The property was very clean and the staff were very welcoming.

Food quality needs improvement but overall satisfied!

Great location in Ella, nearby the Kithal Ella railway station. One minute walking distance from the railway station. Clean room, very friendly staff, beautiful mountain view and closest place to the Ella rock. The trail to climb the Ella rock begins near this resort and the food was amazing. Highly recommend this resort for families with kids.
