The location is not far from the downtown area but far enough to have a relaxing stay. You can easily walk to small Adams Peak and the 9 arch bridge from there. The host was a wonderful gentleman who made sure my stay was an excellent one and provided me with useful information during my stay. He even arranged my transfer to Trincomalee which I appreciated. The room itself was very comfortable with a fan that kept the room at a nice temperature as the nights are cool.Nice bed and good hot water pressure.

Breathtaking views, great place to stay if your goal is to get up and go and not sit around the hotel all day. Very close to Ella Rock. Don’t pay more then 500Rs for a Tuk-Tuk to Little Adams Peak.

The guy in charge was super helpful. He made restaurant reservations for us and gave us very useful tips about places to visit. On our check-out day, we had to leave by 2:45am in the morning. He prepared breakfast for our early morning trip, woke up at our check-out time and assisted us to carry the luggages down to the main road at that time of the day.

Staying at this guesthouse was one of the highlights from our travels around Sri Lanka. The owner and his family are the kindest and nicest people. They helped us with the most random requests and always made sure to go above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast deserves its own paragraph as it was SO MUCH delicious food. The owner also mixed things up every day which was a very nice touch. Can’t wait to come back soon!

    we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.
