Good impressions from the hotel. The room is beautiful, hot water, delicious dinner and breakfast.But, because of the nearby construction, the view from the window is not matched to the photos. But, that does not apply to the hotel.
The hotel is excellent, everything you need in the room is there, even slippers, furniture and plumbing have been updated. It is located near the street with restaurants, 5 minutes down the hill. Walking to the start of the trail to the nine-arch bridge is about 20 minutes. We had a room with a stunning view, mountains and a waterfall are visible from the window. Good place for the price/quality ratio

From the time I arrived, he was kind and I was able to stay very comfortable! Please be careful about amenities, do you have soap? I was very happy to hear that and give me water when I left. It is close to the bus stop and is recommended if you are staying at Badulla.
The hotel is on the hillside, with a good mountain view, the room bathroom is super large, the only room that is not damp in the 20 days of living in Sri Lanka, if there is air conditioning, it will be perfect.
 It is more than 20 minutes' drive from Ella Town.  Ella is mostly sloped . It is basically a curved path to various hotels and homestays. It is very suitable for  people who want to be quarantined for a few days to live for a few days. I especially want to praise their service team. A few simple warm and friendly local boys, they really want to be good to every guest staying, thank you for the delicious breakfast.

The ventilation window of the bathroom is directly open to the outdoors. After turning on the light at night, mosquitoes will fly in and small geckos will climb in. The room may be because it is too humid and has a smell. However, the hotel's service was very good. We went to Safari the next morning because the off-road vehicle was stuck in the mud and delayed the time. We returned to the hotel late. The hotel also called to ask if we needed to set aside our breakfast.
Overpriced!
1. No air conditioning, the room is very humid, the bed is cold and wet
2. Integrity hotel construction knocks at the door of the room early in the morning
3. The room is very not soundproof. The hotel and the scenic spot share the road from reception to the room. There is also a traffic jam. Various tuk tuk passing outside the room. It is the horn and the engine roar. Very noisy.
4. No service at all except check-in and check-out
From the hotel it's about half an hour up the mountain (we walked there). A very nice place on the mountainside with a view of the neighboring Mount Ella and a waterfall, forest all around, local squirrels, an idyll. In general it's quiet, but from time to time a train passes below - a local landmark. It's convenient to start a walk from the hotel to Mount Ella, to the nine-arch bridge, to Mount Adam. Just go down and you're in the epicenter of city life.
Wonderful hostess. The sweetest dog Nikki, we played with her all day.
The room is spacious, with an exit to the veranda, where you can sit and look at the forest. Breakfast is served there.
There is a kitchen with a stove and a kettle, which you can use. In the bathroom, bring your own soap, shampoo, etc. It's cool at night, but there are blankets for that.
The breakfasts are nice: the hostess baked flatbreads, there is toast, fruit, an omelet. Please note:
The lighting in the bathroom is dim, the water pressure is weak, but these are local peculiarities.
As always, there is only one socket. Please note that it needs to be plugged in. There is no TV, kettle, refrigerator, air conditioner, there is a fan and a canopy from insects, but it is not hot here.
A wonderful hotel, we left with regret.

PPurplehaseWe had 2 deluxe double rooms booked. So far so good. On arrival it looked like they didnt know we where coming. I need to mention, we were the only 3 guest in the whole resort. Check in was a bit bumpy, but we managed. After arrival we were asked for sinner, we only had to choices. Rice and curry, or chicken rice.....there are kayaks and a pedal boats available, but they will charge u 3500rs per person for half broken down kayaks even we it never mentioend anything sbout payment. So we didn't go. We took the pedal boat and were still charged. Nice birds around tho. We saw tucans and pelicans but still with no one around they still charged us upon check out. Food was ok, better go for rice and curry. 2500rs per person😜
Breakfast is chicken on toast eith pineapple, no sauce, no water, just 3, pieces of fruit. Chsrged 1500rs
We had own own ssfari booked so can't say much about their service. Upon check out they try to charge 15usd for the single occupancy even tho i booked 2 double rooms. So overall i wouldnt recommend the place, mot sure why all reviews are rhst positve. Pool was murky, **** laying around everywhere and overall i found the olace 20usd cheaper as we paid, just one day before arrival.
AAnonymous UserPros: Quiet and private environment, beautiful scenery, good quality breakfast and room service, good service.
Cons: Arrived around 3pm, and waited for a full hour to check in, almost collapsed. The room has no air conditioning and simple facilities. Open bathroom, don't take a shower at night, it will be cold.
TTraveling TanOur recent stay at Mandara Rosen Yala was a genuinely pleasant experience. The hotel's commitment to cleanliness was evident, and the staff were consistently helpful, making our visit thoroughly enjoyable. Breakfast each morning provided a good start to the day, while the dinner buffet was particularly impressive, offering a fabulous spread that was a highlight of our evenings.
The hotel's serene atmosphere allowed us to relax and recharge, which was much appreciated after exploring the local area. We felt welcomed and valued as guests throughout our stay, thanks to the attentive service.
If our travels bring us back to Kataragama, Mandara Rosen Yala will certainly be our hotel of choice once more. It's an establishment that promises comfort and excellent dining experiences.

CcnphoebeThis was a really lovely stay in a glamping tent which would highly recommend. The staff looked after us very well - Solomon in particular was an exceptional guide. We also had a fantastic dinner under the stars.
However a couple of things to mention:
The safari is a 40 minute drive away as the accommodation is far from the park entrance. Not a problem, but worth noting.
The water wasn’t working for a short while, but this was fixed quickly. Don’t expect a 5 star luxury stay, but I was really impressed with the tents.
We were the only ones staying there, which meant it was lacking in ambiance a little bit.
GGuest UserHeaven on earth! Absolutely spoiled every morning with breakfast on their rooftop overlooking the famous Ella Rock. Possibly the best bedroom view I’ve ever seen. We travelled in April which is notoriously muggy and hot, but the electric fans are very powerful and kept us nice and cool in the evenings, they even have a sleep setting on them!
Couldn’t have asked for much more. 5 min TukTuk to and from town (500sr or £1.50). Or a peaceful 10 minute walk.
11/10 would recommend
ЕЕкатеринаТОтель отлично расположен к центральной улице с магазинами и ресторанами. Номера очень большие.
Но есть минусы: 1. Наш номер выходил на улочку, по которой ездят все туристы к своим отелям на вершине. Шум от байков и тук-туков очень сильный до полуночи, а так же может быть ночью и активно начинается с 6 утра. Если ваш номер будет выходить к центральному входу, думаю, там тише.
2. Окна в отеле имеют естественное кондиционирование, т.е. верхняя часть окна без стекла, только решетка, поэтому очень сильно слышно, что происходит на улице. В эту решетку залетают комары, хотя в номере и включен фумигатор, но в первую ночь нас покусали, на вторую мы включили ещё один прям возле кровати, и все было хорошо.
3. В городе Элла ночью около +14, поэтому в комнате тоже холодно из-за открытых проемов в окнах, запаситесь теплой пижамой и носочками.
Завтраки большие, много всего приносят, всё вкусно. Есть парковка перед домом, хозяева очень милые.
GGuest UserWe arrived tired and out of sorts, but we were greeted so warmly that our spirits immediately improved. The hosts gave us tea, chatted in a homely way - you feel like a welcome guest, not a client.
The hotel is on top of a mountain, and each room has an exit to a terrace with a stunning view. You wake up in the morning - and in front of you there are only mountains and silence. The room is clean, cozy, everything is thought out to the smallest detail.
Breakfast was prepared especially for our preferences: fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, toast, even smoothies! The staff is not formally polite, but truly kind.
If you want to not just spend the night, but feel cared for and relax your soul - this is definitely your place. I want to come back again and recommend it to everyone. Many thanks to the hosts for such an atmosphere!
