Train View Chalet

"Train View chalet is gelegen op een heerlijk rustige plek net buiten het drukke Ella. De chalets zijn omgeven door groen, mooie tuinen op verschillende niveaus en een staff die dag en nacht voor je klaar staat. De centrale ligging leent zich uitstekend voor tours, hikes en opdoen van kennis over de omgeving en cultuur. Wij zijn een aantal dagen opstap geweest met de eigenaar, we hebben veel gezien, veel geleerd over de geschiedenis van het gebied zoals de opkomst van de theeplantages en hoe ze verbouwd worden. Ook nam hij ons mee naar een aantal verborgen spots, die je op eigen initiatief niet gevonden zou hebben. Wij komen hier graag nog een keer terug!"

"De kamers zouden snachts wat donkerder mogen, maar verder fantastisch!"

"Serene surroundings, beautiful and close to nature."

"Road access is quite challenging. Need to walk down via steps - not suitable for elderly who have walking issues."

"A unique property in a beautiful valley. We stayed 2 nights in one of the glamping tents and it was so comfortable. A terrace each side with seating to look into the valley or watch the train pass slowly by. No trains at night. The staff are really attentive and the setting is fabulous. Even a great shower in the tent. Loved the man made weir to have a swim."

"A little far out from Ella but not the properties fault"

"Wish we had booked for more than one night. In hindsight we should have stayed for at least two nights and contacted the hotel in advance to book activities. We travelling with children from 5 years and up. The food was fantastic compared to other 5 star establishments we had previously stayed at. The personal care and attention was excellent. We ended up going on the train line which was still running, which we didn’t expect to be so easy, however the owner of the chalet was so helpful and enabled us to take the train, booking a car and transfer the other end of the line onto Kandy. Unlike other places we felt we paid the right local prices with the support of the team at Train View Chalet. If you contact the hotel in advance they can help with your entire adventure. It’s good to plan ahead to avoid disappointment."

"We have spent two weeks travelling around Sri Lanka, staying in 5 star hotels. The service at Train View Chalet was far better than any of the other hotels. The hotel owner and all of his staff were very attentive and polite. We booked half board and the food was great. We only stayed for one night and it wasn't long enough to experience all the hotel and the area has to offer."

"Beautiful views and location, the staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the rustic vibe was lovely. What stood out for us was how attentive and helpful the staff was, verry communicative. Fantastic experience!"

"Some areas of the premises were still under renovation, but this did not disturb our stay at all."

"Not the cheapest option around, so it comes down to the value you get. Location is great, set on a slope surrounded by dense forest (including giant fruit bats) and the iconic railway on top. You are warmly welcomed in fluent English. The rooms are well decorated and have a perfect (hot) shower. The menu is very good and affordable. The resort has 2 safari jeeps, opening several extra service options that look to be pretty unique, like drives up to Ella Rock or Lipton´'s seat. So, depending on what you look for, this might just be the perfect option in the wide area."

"The accommodation was situated in a peaceful area, approximately a 30-minute drive from Ella, making it an ideal spot for exploring the region and relaxing away from the hustle and bustle. The food was amazing (both breakfast and dinner), with a nice variety offered throughout the stay. The owner was friendly and helpful, and able to assist with organising tours and activities, including cooking classes. Overall, a very pleasant and comfortable place to stay. Would highly recommend!"
