The lady asked me to pay 600 roupies more than the price on the booking upon checking. It was very uncomfortable as I had nowhere else to go. Room is very humid

Great location. The paid breakfast was plenty.

It says one room but it ended up being one bed… the facilities are not really good… there is no space between 2 beds and only one bathroom.

Is ok for one night you dont need more in the city of ella. The house can see the trains as is a few meters from the rail curious location

Entrance to the property wasn’t easy to access

Close to train station

Would be better if the bedding is more cleaner. And there was dead insect on the mosquito net:(

Good location, right next to the train station although it’s pretty quiet. The owner is kind and helpful. The room is pretty basic but it’s cheap for private room. Perfect for budget travellers.

The property needs to be repaired

It's a great location and price. Rooms are very simple but since the price is low (the lowest for my dates I could get in the centre of Ella for my dates without sharing a room with other guests) - then it worth it to stay. Hosts are friendly and helpful.

The room walls had damp so it did smell. If you have asthma or a bad chest this isn't ideal.

Great location. Right next to train track so can walk along it to the train station or over it and youre at all the restaurants/shops. The owners are an older couple and absolutely lovely! She also makes the best breakfast I've had in Sri Lanka so far! Decent price at 700rupees as well

Price discrepancy with booking.com - owner demanded more money than what my app showed. Room was very humid smelling. No bed sheet or towel. Have to cross a railroad with a low trip wire to get to the hotel. I tripped at night and heavily sprained my hand

Great location and price. Good place to stay for a quick while. Wifi was useable

Stayed in February 2024

Rooms are small, humid, no windows and with mold so don't expect a luxury stay in Ella. WiFi disconnected most of the time, like everywhere in Sri Lanka.

It's run by a very old couple which we were happy to support. Friendly and attentive.

could be cleaner

Room was a little damp - but the whole of ella has this problem.

Family are super friendly and helpful! I got laundry done and it smelt great and dry! The food was delicious and it had good wifi. I would stay again!

Communicating was really tough. Accordingly there were a few misconceptions.

Above this hostel was a great location where you have nice music, food and can get drinks. The owner of the restaurant above are very nice. The beds were quiete small but comfortable. Mosquito net was avaible. Hot water was avaible for people who need and the bathroom were always clean(at that timing I was the only guest)​. The owner gave me an umbrella for rainy days.

Quite location close to the railway station. Great bar in the neighbourhood. The rooms are tiny, but good enough for budget travellers. The bathroom is shared but clean at any time. The breakfast and dinner were delicious, lavish and for great price.

For the price I paid nothing really. The bathroom is on the other side of the floor so you gotta go through the dinning area for 12 meters. The mattress is not great but again, for 1 night, for the price I paid I didn't care. The place it's not easy to find. It is right across the railway ( yes, you have to cross the railway) and in between two 2 storey restaurants. But you will find it anyways.

I opted for the budget room with 2 single beds. The room is obviously a budget room so don't expect fanciness but it was clean and everything was in order. Perfect if you are a budget traveller who wants to spend 1 or 2 nights in Ella. The mattresses are not the best but for what I paid I couldn't complain. The lady there is super nice and she really likes keeping everything clean. I was there on my own and she showed me all the rooms and they all looked nice , neat, clean and ready to receive clients. The bathroom was also clean and is to be shared between all the rooms (4) I believe. Plentiful Hot water was available. One good thing is that there were not many mosquitos in the room, there are no holes where they can come in, unlike other properties I stayed in , unless you leave the door open, of course. I was happy I didn't get any bites for once.

The beds are not comfortable. They are very hard. There's no fan but I didn't find it too hot to sleep. You have to either kill all the mosquitoes in your room or use the mosquito net. This was a medium quality stay in Sri Lanka.

It's cheap, the woman who runs it is very kind, and it's in a good location, just a short walk from town.

all of the above

I booked online for $4.50. when I arrived the owner did not a honour my booking and tried charging me $9 . Tbh I think she did me a favour , the place looked neglected and run down , without even anywhere to park. BOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
