Top!
Pros:

Een super locatie en een hele aardige host. Rashan hielp ons met alle vragen en ook het regelen van een taxi naar de verschillende bezienswaardigheden. Prima ontbijt en prijs kwaliteit verhouding ook goed.

Cons:

Beetje luidruchtig ‘s avonds maar daar kunnen zij verder niet zoveel aan doen.

Great value for money accommodation with a good location close to main centre of Ella
Pros:

Very clean, great shower with hot water all the time! Lovely friendly staff who arranged a taxi at a great price to Udawalawe. Breakfast was good with variety of different foods. Very close to Main Street in Ella and an easy walk up to Little Adam’s Peak trailhead.

Cons:

Small point - A little noisy in eve as close to main road / White Rabbit cafe due to live music some nights ( but over by 10.30 pm the night we stayed)

Für einen kurzen Zwischenstopp in Ella, eine zentral gelegene und solide Unterkunft mit kleinen Abzügen wie Geruch, Lärm
Pros:

Sehr zentrale Lage. Große Fensterfront mit Blick ins Grüne. Leckeres, abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr bequeme Betten + Kissen.

Cons:

Sehr laut durch die Glastüren, die nicht schallisoliert sind. Wobei es gegen nachts (23 Uhr) deutlich leiser wird, da keine Musik und weniger Verkehr. Außerdem ist es trotz der Vorhänge sehr hell.
Starker Abflussgeruch im Badezimmer.

Pros:

Very helpful staff! Rashan went above and beyond to help me as I became sick.
Very central location, close to everything

Cons:

The bed was very uncomfortable and small. I couldn't open the curtains as the room was on the ground floor and next to main stairway.
