Very beautiful and stylish place. Our stay was very comfortable. The view is amazing and the staff is very helpful! Not far away from the train station which is a big plus. Good breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place to get a great experience in Ella!

This house has all the necessary amenities for a trip. The view from the terrace to the jungle, even during the rain, is calming. The hostess is super polite and super kind. The road to the hotel is a bit difficult if you are driving your own car, so we did not risk going down to the city in the evening. But we still liked everything very much.

Great location as it is only 500m from the train station which is 2 stops from Ella. Beautiful view over the garden and hills beyond. Very quiet. No traffic noise. The room was spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water for the shower. Delicious home cooking. But above all else our host and his family made us feel so welcome. Our host helped us plan a fantastic few days. He is completely fluent in English which made all the arrangements go so smoothly.

If I could have given a 10+ I would have! This might just be the best stay we had in Sri Lanka. Waking up to the sounds of nature and an amazing view. The room is incredibly spacious and light, the bed is big and really comfortable and the bathroom is beautiful, with a good shower! Also the hosts are incredible! So friendly. And not to forget; the breakfast is amazing!! The best we have had so far! I would absolutely recommend staying here when you are in Ella!

Looking for a lodge?

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
