This hotel is consistently praised for its stunning natural setting, offering peaceful, relaxing stays away from the bustle of Ella town. Guests frequently highlight the beautiful and clean rooms, impressive design, and the incredible views from terraces and balconies, often overlooking forests and railway lines. Its proximity to the Ella Rock trailhead is a significant advantage for hikers. The staff are described as exceptionally friendly, helpful, and accommodating, contributing to an excellent overall experience, with many calling it a "gem" and their best stay in Sri Lanka.
A recurring theme is the hotel's location, which, while offering tranquility, means it's a short drive from the main town. This can involve navigating narrow, sometimes steep roads, making access by larger vehicles less convenient and requiring tuk-tuk transportation for most guests. Additionally, one review noted an issue with hot water, and another mentioned a dripping sound during rain. Payment is also exclusively in cash or via bank transfer, as card payments are not accepted.
