The 2 rooms available were clean and comfortable withviews of the garden We saw a mongoose and squirrels playing in the trees.Spice lodge is on the path to Little Adams peak and not far from the passage to 9 arch bridge. Restaurants are close by. Spice lodge is away from most of the noisy part of Ella and is quiet and peaceful. Kamal waa very helpful and his tuk tuk was great for the journey to view 9 arch bridge.

The steps up were a challenge but doable

un sitio genial, super cómodo, cerca de todo pero a la vez suficientemente lejos si te gusta tener tranquilidad. las instalaciones increibles, tranquilidad, limpio, comodo. el personal tambien super amable, una persona super agradable. el desayuno tambien muy bueno. somos una pareja que nos gusta hacer cosas pero también tener nuestro oasis de tranquilidad cuando queremos, y este hotel cumplía perfectamente.

por poner una pega, el wifi no funcionaba.

Credo il posto più bello di Ella. Impagabile la vista dalla camera e dalla terrazza anche strutture più lussuose non reggono il confronto. Colazioni buonissime. Rapporto qualità prezzo super. Stanza moderna e pulitissima. Bagno molto bello. Il proprietario ci ha fatto fare anche un tour su una cascata fuori Ella molto bella. Consigliatissimo.

We had a wonderful experience at The Spice Lodge. The views were absolutely amazing, especially at sunset. The staff were very helpful, carrying our luggage up the stairs, assisting us in booking a cooking class, and giving recommendations. The Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious and a great way to begin the say. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautifully peaceful with great views over the valley. A delicious breakfast each morning of fruit and traditional Sri Lankan food. Kamal the owner is attentive and happy to help with luggage up the 100 stairs.
