This was a strange place. For a start, the building looked half-finished. We didn’t really have a host - there seemed to be multiple people looking after the property, although all were perfectly friendly and accommodative (for example in making us a packed breakfast when we were up early to go hiking). The room, like many guest houses in Sri Lanka, was functional rather than comfortable. This one was spacious with a balcony, with an average bed/mattress and a good en suite bathroom. The view, as many others have commented, is fantastic but given that Ella is in a mountain valley, you don’t need to work too hard to find a view that’s just as good. In terms of cost it was probably a touch above average and given that the stay felt average or slightly below average, I’d say we could have done better.
