In the tree canopy with the monkeys
Ella green cottages is positioned right in the tree canopy and you can see monkey families coming to visit in the morning. The room was comfortable and clean and the shower got hot. We were given a generous and tasty breakfast and got good tips on walking to Ella rock in the morning. When we left we got outlet breakfast to go. Lovely place

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room really good size with very big bed and private bathroom. Very cool inside, so more than comfortable for sleep without fan or aircon. The floor needed a bit more of a clean / sweep in the room but the bathroom was really clean.There were two sealed bottles of water which was really useful. Room had a private balcony looking out to trees - there were birds and chipmunks around you could watch. Slept fairly well but there would be basey music playing at odd times - maybe from other hotels and there is construction around Ella so you will hear that in the day. Bit of an odd smell in the room which I think was probably just moisture in the bathroom or possibly bug spray, but I must say there were no issues with bugs or mosquitos and I usually get eaten alive. It would have been helpful to be shown around - it took me a while to figure out the light switches and which one was for the electric shower, plus I left with still no idea if there were any communal areas. I wasn’t aware you could book breakfast - worth noting as a lot of cafes don’t open until 9 (Barista is open early and some others like Kiri Kopi open at 7.30am) and if doing a sunrise hike you may need to prepare food for yourself or see if the hotel can accommodate you that early. When you arrive in Ella get a Tuk tuk - it’s a VERY steep walk with a large rucksack or suitcases. You can walk down to town easily from the hotel in 5 mins but it’s quite dark on the way back - a bit scary alone.

Monkey's and birds were great...room was average. Could stand to clean construction debris from below the room. Beautiful environment around Ella...waaaay over developed! Alot of price gouging going on. I have no desire to return there. Thailand or Cambodia are much better deals from my experiences over the years.

Ella green är ett fantastiskt litet ställe dit du tar dig efter en liten uppförsbacke. Vi hade utsikt över skogen med mycket fåglar och några apor. Personalen var mycket hjälpsam och bjöd på en god frukost med allt för mycket mat. 10 minuters promenad var vi nere i centrum med affärer restauranger vi stannade 2 nätter och är mycket nöjda med tanke på priset.

De dejligste store altaner, m smukke blomster og bekvemme møbler til at slappe af. Udsigt til jungle, hvor aber, egern og et væld af fugle kunne observeres. Værten var utrolig sød og hjælpsom, bl.a både m vasketøj og tuk tuk bestilling. Der blev serveret rigtig lækker og rigelig morgenmad på altanen, på det tidspunkt der passede gæsterne bedst.

Traumhafte Lage, Super Frühstück
Das Cottage liegt 10 Gehminuten vom Bahnhof entfernt und dicht am dem Weg zum liddle Adams Peak. Der Ausblick von Balkon ist direkt in den Urwald, einfach Traumhaft. Das Frühstück ist lokal, super lecker und sehr umfangreich. Wer ein europäisches Frühstück erwartet ist aber definitiv falsch. Das betrifft auch den fehlenden Kaffee, den es in Sri Lanka aber nie dazu gibt . Allerdings gab es Tee zum Frühstück. Die Ausstattung des Zimmers hatte alles was man braucht inkl. einer tollen Dusche (mit lustigen Motiven an den Fliesen) und einer europäischen Toilette. Allerdings hat das Zimmer ein Blechdach, in der Regensaison wird man kein Auge zumachen können. Angesehen davon hällt das Cottage alles was die Website verspricht und ist in der Trockenheit nur zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Good view of monkeys in the morning
The room is basic, with a small attached bath. A mosquito net is provided. All the bedding smells damp and the bathroom does not have the best smell either. But the staff is wonderful, you can see monkeys outside the windows in the morning and it's close to the trail for Ella Rock. Getting into town is a quick 10min walk. Although there is a steep hill coming back. All and all not bad, but not the best either.

Seulement destiné aux campeurs de base!
Si vous n'êtes pas un routard: FUYEZ !!!! Une cabane au fond des bois,des murs en béton marron,un toit En tôle,un cadenas à la porte,pas de réception,une dame qui surgit de nulle part quand vous arrivez,une descente à pic pour arriver à la cabane: impensable..... Seul point positif: Les singes si on aime...... Ne peut convenir qu'aux personnes qui pratiquent le camping de base. Tres Cher pour ce que c'est.....

Secluded and hidden forest getaway
The Ella Green Cottages are hidden along the skinny road that snakes uphill off the main road in Ella town and there is no formal reception area. However, the service that is given, once they get to you, is prompt and friendly! GREAT breakfast spread served every morning. Be sure to shower during the day as the hot water is sometimes not so strong and at night, it gets cold!

Hyvä perusmajoitus
Majoitus oli hyvin perustasoa, huoneessa vain oleelliset tarpeet. Kävelyetäisyydellä juna-asemalta jos kulkee junarataa myöten, mutta päätietä kuljettuna pitää nousta mäkeä myöten hyvän matkaa ennen kuin mökit löytyvät. Majoituksesta teki ihanan omalle terassille ennakkotilauksesta toimitettu aamupala ja hyvin avulias henkilökunta, joka mm. pakkasi aamupalan meille mukaan paluun junamatkalle. Varsinaista respaa majoituksessa ei ole, joten henkilökuntaa on ajoittain vaikea löytää.

This hotel does not have a view but for us bird watchers, it was even better. We caught site of more birds thete than any of our rain forest trips. The woman was lovely and brought coffee to our house. Very sparse but clean and private. The steps down are steep.
