The Green Door

We (extended family of 6) stayed in both available rooms at the Green Door. There are just 2 rooms underneath the excellent restaurant upstairs which serves delicious food and is a nice place to hang out. Rooms were modern, clean, quiet and comfortable and the location was not too far from the action and right near the start of the trail to little Adam’s peak. Our daily breakfast and dinner at the Green Door was a highlight, but mainly because of the amazing staff particularly Shasha who basically adopted my two young children for the duration of our stay, played with them and even let them help make drinks at the bar. We would highly recommend the Green Door. Shasha mentioned they are building some bungalows on the opposite hill overlooking Ella Peak. If it is anything like the Green Door, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there.

The room’s design is top notch, I would do the same at my home. The bed was comfortable, with views of the jungle. The room was spacious for 3 pieces of luggage. The restaurant was Excellent to say the least! The Chef catered to our dietary needs, and he was very responsive to all of our needs in general. Shasha, the restaurant manager was also a lovely person that helped with suggestions & an overall good vibe. These two people made our stay even more pleasant.

Due to the rainy season, a spot of the room was damp and needed further attention. Also, there’s a need for plumping maintenance. The hot water was available but could be off due to a mechanical error. The personnel assisted us with this moments after reporting it.

ShaSha the Manager was exceptional, from the moment we arrived she told us what we needed to do, tried to get us on a train ride the following morning (sadly it was booked out), but rang the station to see what time the train went past the 9 Arches Bridge in the afternoon so we walked down to see it. The rooms were excellent with everything that you wo9uld need, very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The food at the restaurant was also excellent.

Unfortunately we had to cancel 1 night because of a medical problem, they still charged us which I was disappointed about given this was out of our control. They kept saying that it was a Booking.com issue but they could have just charged us for 1 night as nothing had been paid till we got there. That was disappointing.

Large family room and very clean. Had a TV which isn’t always available but good for the afternoon relaxing. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was great.

Nothing really. A little bit far from the main area but nothing a two minute tuk tuk couldn’t fix.
