Nine Arch Jungle Inn

A fantastic location down a hidden path with an amazing view of the 9 arch bridge. The staff are so sweet and the breakfast layout amazing. He can come get you by rickshaw if you can't find it. The rustic cabin may not be for some but we loved it.

The view of nine arch bridge. Being in the jungle and listening to the animals at night. Our host Gavi was great and provided a Tuk Tuk when we wanted to go to Ella city or other locations. The breakfast was fantastic and served on our balcony overlooking the bridge.

The roof of the property is galvanise so when it rains it can be very loud. Monkeys tend to run across the riff also. We had ear plugs which we would recommend if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise the property is great.

Having your brekfast in the jungle and watch the beautiful landscape with the bridge is priceless.

Location and view of the 9 Arch bridge is incredible. It’s a 5 minute walk to the bridge

Great room and well decorated, with a really kind and helpful host. The view over the bridge was perfect.

This place was great! The views, the nature, the peace, the breakfast!! I dont think you could be closer to the 9 arch bridge, outside the inn is the path to the bridge and its about 3min walk from there, downhill. Forewarned, I arrived in the evening and it was dark, I would suggest arriving in the daylight as its a little scary otherwise! The roads can only be accessed by tuktuk, they are very steep and you're so in nature my brain couldn't adjust to all the noises without visual clues...but once I seen it all in the daylight, it was amazing, my brain adjusted and I could appreciate all the nature noises. The roads are steep, but doable. Everything (other than bridge) is about 20/30min walk away. There are restaurants about 10/15mins away. I would recommend, it was one of my favourite stays, I enjoyed sitting on my balcony watching the trains come in, watching the monkeys or squirrels..enjoy! Shower was good and hot, the WIFI was also good (router in room!)

Not a dislike...but the roof is tin and the monkeys love to jump on it, maybe take ear plugs as it can scare you out of your sleep lol They want payment in LKR although it advises $ on booking.com

It was a really cool setting for the room and the balcony overlooked the infamous 9 arch bridge. Gavi was really helpful and helped arranged pickup from the station and shuttles into town using whatsapp. Room had a fan and a mosquito net. Very big breakfast served at our time of choice each morning.

These things didn’t really bother us but are worth mentioning Quite far outside of the city in a very steep hill. Some elder people or people that have limited walking ability will struggle. Lots of noise at night from the wildlife including monkeys fighting on the roof lol!

The view from the breakfast table was spectacular! Great view of the bridge

The location is incredible!! You have a perfect view on the 9 Arch Bridge. The breakfast is amazing. The people are super friendly and help you with everything! Would totally recommend it!!

sometimes there was loud music in the evening from a bar or something by the train, but it wasn’t bad.

Amazing View of the 9 arches bridge. In addition to this, the breakfast was AMAZING. Also the guy who manages the place is more than helpful. Take into the consideration he can pick up and dropp you off when going and leaving the hotel as the place is a bit remote and not so easy to access but the environment deserves the effort. I have only one night in Ella so this place was very convenient to explore the bridge early in the morning without much people and also to see the train passing by in different times of the day.
