Guest Reviews
- Mia (10/5): Perfect Accommodation in Ella - The most beautiful and peaceful location. The hosts were brilliant and prepared the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka. The room was so spacious with a comfortable bed.
- Anna (10/5): Хороший отель с приятным персоналом - Отличное местоположение , совсем рядом с мостом
Все новое, завтрак обильный и вкусный, персонал отзывчивый
- Vijaylutchmee (8/5): We really enjoyed our stay - The hosts were really incredible and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable - breakfast was super generous
- Ирина (10/5): Великолепно! - Отель новый, всего на 2 номера. Персонал очень внимательный, в стоимость входил тук тук от отеля, мини бар и завтрак. Шикарный вид с террасы, в пешей доступности 9ти арочный мост. Потрясающее место
- Shirley (8/5): Beautiful remote location served only by tuktuk - Beautiful views, rooms were delightful with everything we needed. The staff were very helpful especially with the difficulties of accessing the property. They brought up all our luggage by tuktuk which was not easy and they were happy to tuktuk us into Ella and back.
Access to 9 arches bridge would have been very walkable except that for our stay the rain was heavy so the road was too slippery.
The breakfast fruit platter and smoothie were very nice Breakfast was very carbohydrate heavy and the bread was dry. Eggs in hoppers were really nice but the eggs were not cooked properly and there was no flexibility to do any other way. Tea and coffee were excellent but not served until the end of the food.
We were happy not to have the room cleaned during our stay but the friends with us were not and nobody offered room cleaning.
Overall we enjoyed our stay despite the weather but we feel it was overpriced compared to other places we have stayed due to the points I have made. However I understand this is a fairly new establishment so I’m sure as things settle down the small issues can be sorted out.
- Lena (10/5): - Wunderschöne Lage und etwas außerhalb von Ella, aber dafür ruhig, mitten in der Natur und man kann einwandfrei auf den Gleisen nach Ella laufen.
Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt, das Zimmer ist sehr geräumig, sauber und total gemütlich.
Das Frühstück war exzellent und super lecker!
Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt 🤩
- Erik (10/5): Perfect verblijf - Comfort van de kamer, hygiëne, ligging, supervriendelijk personeel. Niets!
- Christiane (8/5): -
- Pawel (9/5): - Very clean big and comfortable room with beautiful views
Very Good breakfast
- Haakon Roll (10/5): A wonderful experience - Close to Nine Arch Bridge and a nice jungle view. The owner was very friendly and service minded.
The owner pick you up from Ella. They can also drive you town town with no problem. Everything was good
- Bruno (7/5): Hyper isolé et accès pouvant être dangereux - Bon, je suis un peu mitigé sur notre séjour. L'endroit est isolé dans les montagnes, donc la vue est magnifique. Les gens sont adorables. Mais on est, un, chez l'habitant. C'est très, très rustique, en fait, l'environnement et tout. On est vraiment dans pleine nature. Les chambres sont confortables, propres. Mais je trouve le prix pour un logement chez l'habitant vraiment excessif. Et aussi, surtout, un gros problème, c'est qu'il y a à peu près 20 minutes au minimum de tuktuk entre l'arrivée avec votre van ou la voiture et le guesthouse. Et il y a une partie qui est quand même assez dangereuse. Alors, on l'a fait de la journée, mais j'imagine de la nuit, sous la pluie, c'est vraiment, vraiment dangereux, en fait. Je pense qu'ils ne s'en rendent pas compte. Donc, c'est vraiment à conseiller pour des jeunes qui vont en backpacker, mais qui ont les budgets parce que je trouve le prix vraiment cher. Mais pour une personne un peu plus âgée ou autre, c'est vraiment à déconseiller. L emplacement et l accès pour moi qui représente un réel danger en cas de temps glissant ou de nuit - et le prix excessif pour loger dans un tel environnement local - j ai été berné par la note de 10/10 mais cela ne faut pas cela compte tenu des éléments
- Miranda (10/5): Awesome arches - The view was amazing and breakfast was exceptionally good!! Really clean and staff was super nice. Really short walk to the nine arches. Little hard to find
- Julien (10/5): Fantastisch, geen moeite gespaard! - De locatie en de behulpzame medewerkers. We hadden zelf de navigatie verkeerd en stonden daardoor verkeerd. Ze kwamen naar ons toe en gaven een escort naar het hotel. Tijdens ons verblijf konden we gratis gebruik maken van transfers. We hoefden maar een berichtje te sturen en het werd geregeld. Toen we na het uitchecken nog gingen wandelen en bezweet terugkwamen, konden we nog even de kamer op om te douche. Dit was van onze trip de beste accommodatie!
- tadeusz (10/5): The hospitality is warm and welcoming. - I recently spent 3 blissful nights at Tunnel Top Inn Ella and it was truly a serene escape. Nestled in nature, the property offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, with the sweet sounds of birdsong filling the air. On foggy mornings, the misty veil adds a touch of magic to the landscape.
The location is perfect for exploring Ella, with tuk tuk transport to the city and tourist attractions was included in my rates - a huge plus!
