    Friendly staff (including the dog), always smiling, always happy to help. Furthermore, it was very clean. The location was perfect for us, near the Nine Arch Bridge so you can enjoy a short hike to have the place almost for your own in the morning. Very close to the little adams peak trail and Ravana Pool club. That helped us to have a day/morning of relaxing at the pool after traveling through the country. The view from the room was also very nice!

    Nothing.

    The service and staff were excellent—they provided friendly and efficient service. The breakfast was also delicious. I ordered a separate coffee, and it was served quickly and tasted great. The location is ideal, close to Little Adam's Peak and Nine Arch Bridge. I highly recommend this place to other guests.

    I stayed for two nights in the family room, which is the first room as you enter, close to the street, so you do hear a bit of the hustle and bustle during the day. That said, the location is incredibly convenient. The walking tracks to Ravana (10 minutes), Little Adam’s Peak (20 minutes), and the Nine Arch Bridge (10 minutes) are right at your doorstep. The walk into town is super easy too (10mins). The staff were attentive and very helpful, offering great suggestions for things to do and they organised my tuk tuk rides to the tea factory and train station. Breakfast was delicious and generously portioned, which was a lovely way to start each day. Especially since it’s served on the patio of your room where you get to take in the beautiful views of Ella. The room was clean, the AC worked well, and while the bed was on the firmer side, I still slept comfortably.

    It can get a bit noisy at night. If it's windy, the roof makes some noise, and sounds from the road are quite noticeable.

    The rooms were great—spacious, comfortable, and very clean. We especially enjoyed the beautiful views from the property. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, a really nice way to start the day. The location is convenient, right on the main road and about a 10-minute walk to the city center.

    This hotel is indeed amazing. Owner and the personal were the nicest people. Room was clean and big with mosquito net. But the best part is the view from balcony. Homemade breakfast was really nice with fresh cut fruit. Staff was very helpful with everything we asked. The owner even helped us to rent a scooter for whole day. Location is also amazing, you can walk down to the town. Also Little Adam's Peak is very close as hotel is located at the very start of track. Very lovely stay, definetly recommended.

    “The Chillout” is a perfect name for this little gem. Slightly outside Ella so it is really peaceful, but only a 15 min walk or 4 min tuktuk ride into town. Wonderful, friendly, accommodating staff. Highly recommended!
