Reviews of Mount shadows 1 stars

Beautiful location with a view on the train rails and an amazing breakfast.

Geetha was super friendly and the room had a fantastic view. Everything was perfect!

I had a great stay here! The view from the property was absolutely stunning, definitely a highlight. The room was clean and comfortable, and it was just a short, scenic walk along the train tracks to Ella. Breakfast was tasty and filling, and the people who run the place were kind and welcoming.

The only downside was the humidity in the room, which made the sheets feel damp and gave them a bit of a musty smell. That said, the overall experience was still enjoyable, especially because of the amazing view and warm hospitality.

View form the property is amazing if you like nature b

INCREDIBLE, is a little bit hard to get there, but the place is amazing, from our room we could see a beautiful waterfall and below there was the famous train of Ella. Amazing breakfast and from the property you can also go to the city walking on the route of the train.

no complain to do

Our room was absolutely charming, with a breathtaking view that made our stay truly special. The host was incredibly caring and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was delicious and served with a lovely view overlooking a waterfall and the passing train, such a peaceful and unique setting. The walk to the center of Ella takes about 20 minutes along the railway, and it’s a beautiful and memorable stroll through nature. Highly recommended for a relaxing and scenic getaway!

The only downside was a slight leak in the shower and a bit of a humidity smell in the room, but it didn’t take away too much from the overall experience. With a few small improvements, this place would be close to perfect.

Gita and her brother are so kind, and helpful. I was surprised how well decorated the place was. In the morning the place has an amazing view and Gita is more than generous with the breakfast. Idk how you can honestly beat this stay for the price.

The location was more secluded than we thought, please be aware that a car can’t go there and once you land here - it’ll be a trek to go back down. We wished that we brought dinner with us. Also, I wish Gita provided a box of tissues and water in the room. It’d also be good to offer a menu in the room with few snacks/soft drinks for sale. Since the place is so high up - I’m sure guests would appreciate that convenience + it’s extra revenue

This is the most enjoyable stop we had in our trip. The view of Ella waterfall from terrace, tasteful room in the middle of the nature, away from the busy main street. Great breakfast. Helpful staff but privacy is still guaranteed.

A bit far from centre, but it is just some minute ride with a tuktuk and 10min walk if you walk along the railway. it is a trade off that definitely worth it.

I'm our opinion, the ONLY place to stay in Ella (we stayed in 2, visited 4). Fantastic views of mountains and train. Breakfast was delicious and host very kind. 10-15 minute walk into Ella central, we quite enjoyed it after an evening in town!

Brilliant location. Best view in ella.....we have been all over the world and this was one of the best views to wake up to in the morning. Lovely breakfast and great staff. Place is a little out of town but you walk along the well trodden railway path to town in 15 to 20 mins

Stunning views of the valley and so peaceful. Nice warm shower 😊 breakfast was fantastic!

We had a beautiful room with an amazing view, and breakfast on the terrace was simply a dream! The hosts were incredibly kind, making our stay even more special.

We loved our stay at Mount Shadows, a stylish property in a beautiful location. It's a shame it was raining the whole time we were here, but we could still appreciate the amazing views and only imagine how beautiful the sunrise must be! We had a delicious breakfast here, would definitely recommend for others to stay here.

We loved everything!

The property was clean and so well decorated. The view was amazing and it was quiet because it was just enough outside of town that you didn’t get any of the noise.

Amazing breakfast and peaceful location.

It was so beautiful and they were so welcoming, the view was lovely, the bedroom was clean and the breakfast was so tasty!

Nothing

The stay itself was very good - helpful host who provided us everything we asked (more blankets, an oven to heat our food, and a driver who safely delivered us to the next location). The room was clean and cosy; among other pros were also tasty breakfast and great location with stunning view from terrace

It was a bit cold at night in the bathroom so I recommend to take a shower not later than 8 am. Sometimes there are minor difficulties with hot water when you take a long shower And an important warning about the location. If you try to climb Ella rock from the hotel then you will probably meet locals who suggest "help". Be sure that at the end they will claim an !excessive! reward despite the way they will show you is much more difficult and dangerous and less spectacular than the way you'll find independently using any map

A nicely decorated villa that offers the most wonderful view and restful stay. The sounds of nature were delightful, there's a waterfall not too far away, unfortunately not visible but lovely to hear. Geetha was a sweet host and served a generous breakfast, the typical Sri Lankan way. Mornings here were my favourite.

It's not far from town (about SLR700 one way using tuk tuk) but once you're out there's nothing around so you have to make sure you have everything you need before leaving town.

An absolute gem in Ella. Away from the very busy and loud centre but within walking distance (10-15 minutes along the railway track). The breakfast was delicious and varied each morning. The room came with a private balcony, with a beautiful view and was very peaceful - this was rare to find at the price point. There was also a mini fridge which was a welcome addition to the room. The accommodation is down a small road, we arrived by taxi and then the hotel sent a tuktuk to collect us. Was very efficient and easy. They also took us to Ella station when we left. Would highly recommend!
