Ayubowan, Ella

Nice hotel with a breathtaking view and helpful staff. Also they have a restaurant. I'll come back next time.

The only problem was bumpy narrow road

Good atmosphere and Mr Nalaka the host was awesome and friendly

Good vibes and view

Thw view from the rooms terace was amazing. So cool to watch the sunrise while having breakfast. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They arranged a small tour arround Ella and car service to our next destination.

Ro rooms smell was nor fresh but it was a minor flaw.

In the hustle and bustle of Ella it’s nice to get far from the madding crowd and find some solitude. The room for our family was large , breakfast included and superb assistance from Nalaka with everything. But best of all is the stunning view and the train that appears out of the jungle to go right past you! And that also means an easy walk along the track into Ella. Perfect.

The location, view and environment was perfect. Serene nature. It was a full moon day & the night view also great. Staff are always helpful & kind. Breakfast was delicious. Specially on the day of Sinhala Tamil New Year.

Riding own vehicle was little difficult due to bends and elevation since that's new experience. Later learnt it and the staff assisted us well.

We loved our stay at Ayubowan! The views from our room were amazing and it was a lovely 15-20 min walk along the train track to Ella town. It’s a 5 min walk along the train track to the start of the Ella rock hike. The hosts were very friendly and gave us lots of recommendations for things to do in Ella and for the rest our trip in Sri Lanka

Host and staffs are excellent. On our request they arranged a Bbq dinner for us. They are helpful and service oriented.

Scenary

Plumbing, access to the hotel

The view is what bought us. Staff are accomodating and but need more training.

The location is very much inside, and the road going to the hotel is very steep and narrow that we have to switch vans as our one is much bigger. Their van is nasty. We went as a family with an elderly and kids and the steps to the hotel are high and steep without any handrails. It's not safe for kids as well. The hotel can easily be accessed by anyone as there were no security or front doors but instead just a small gate where one could just easily jumped over. There were drunk people in the middle of the night yelling, that came up to the hotel and we just realized that the only way to keep us safe is to keep our hotel room lock. Though for backpackers, if you don't mind about your safety, this could be reasonable hotel.
