Wonderful experience! A beautiful family-run hotel overlooking the valley and hills, with the sound of a river nearby. The hosts are marvelous, exceptionally kind and welcoming, and were helpful throughout my stay, especially with helping me plan my time in town, and bus schedules for my onwards travel. They were even kind enough to drop me off at the bus station on my way out. The room was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed. The view from the window and terrace is beautiful. And the town center is a convenient 5-7 minute walk away. The breakfasts were wonderful as well, with variety each day! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

The entirely wooden home was an amazing sight and the view was even better. We arrived in the evening and woke up to a spectacular sight hearing the river/waterfalls down below. Absolutely stunning. The family that runs Wood Palace is amazing and has been great in accommodating us with anything we needed during our stay, first making arrangements for me as I was planning to propose to my girlfriend and later whilst our son got sick. The amazing starry nights from the balcony and fireflies lighting up the view topped it off. It’s located a little outside of Ella (5min drive) which made it very peaceful and quiet. The owner has a TukTuk and can bring you anywhere you need very quickly. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for a very memorable stay

The owners Saman and Sandive were very welcoming. They made sure that everything in the room was ready before our arrival. Both are extremely friendly and helpful. The room was just amazing, spotless clean, you can definitely sense the attention to every detail. The location is great, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by trees all around. The view is spectacular, you can see the waterfall and hear the sound of running water from distance when lying in your bed, just a wonderful scene to wake up to. Saman prepared a delicious breakfast and delivered it to the room by herself just to make sure that we do not need anything else. This was by far one of the best places we have been to in Ella. We would definitely book that place again on every trip back to Ella. We highly recommend this place.
